Pope Francis: 'We have caused a climate emergency' – Urges 'drastic measures' – Calls UN climate summit 'of particular importance' to save World
Pope Francis: "We have caused a climate emergency that gravely threatens nature and life itself, including our own."
"Now is the time to abandon our dependence on fossil fuels and move, quickly and decisively, towards forms of clean energy and a sustainable and circular economy," he said.
Calling the U.N. summit "of particular importance," he added: "There, governments will have the responsibility of showing the political will to take drastic measures to achieve as quickly as possible zero net greenhouse gas emissions and to limit the average increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius with respect to pre-industrial levels, in accordance with the Paris Agreement goals."

By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis challenged governments on Sunday to take "drastic measures" to combat global warming and reduce the use of fossil fuels, saying the world was experiencing a climate emergency.
Francis issued his appeal, a written message for Sunday's World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, ahead of the United Nations Climate Action Summit this month in New York, a follow up to the 2016 Paris Agreement to curb global warming.
Calling the U.N. summit "of particular importance," he added:
"There, governments will have the responsibility of showing the political will to take drastic measures to achieve as quickly as possible zero net greenhouse gas emissions and to limit the average increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius with respect to pre-industrial levels, in accordance with the Paris Agreement goals."
Francis has made many calls for environmental protection and has clashed over climate change with skeptics leaders such as U.S. President Donald Trump, who has taken the United States out of the Paris accord.
"We have caused a climate emergency that gravely threatens nature and life itself, including our own," the leader of the world's 1.3 billon Roman Catholics said in the message for the prayer day, which is marked by various Christian Churches.
"Our prayers and appeals are directed first at raising the awareness of political and civil leaders," he said, adding that governments should "renew commitments decisive for directing the planet towards life, not death".
He listed constant pollution, continued use of fossil fuels, intensive agricultural exploitation and deforestation as being among the man-made causes of global warming and said the Amazon, where fires are raging, is "gravely threatened".
Other phenomena, such as the melting of glaciers and the presence of plastic and microplastics in the oceans "testify to the urgent need for interventions that can no longer be postponed," he said.
"Egoism and self-interest have turned creation, a place of encounter and sharing, into an arena of competition and conflict," he said.
"We have caused a climate emergency that gravely threatens nature and life itself."

Construction used the same principles as the 2 rotor as in we needed to keep the rotors on the bottom so the center of mass would be lower (more stability) and of course we had to use some sort of stability vane in order to keep the flight variance down. My thinking process behind this design was that it would be more efficient to use a triangle stabilizer instead of the "X" shaped one with 2 rotors as we could get the weight lower per rotor (3g for 2 rotors = 1.5 g/rotor, but with 3 rotors we could try getting the overall weight down past 4.5g, reducing the weight per rotor). As for the rotors 2 were spinning clockwise and one spins counter clockwise - we never had any issues with this configuration and our flights were stable meaning that even over the approx. 100' height ceiling at state the helicopter would remain only a few horizontal feet from where we launched.
Winding was the tricky part. We eventually started using mini binder clips attached onto the motor sticks to hold the rotors in place so that we could wind the next motor without having to hold the other rotor in place. This was especially helpful when all 3 motors were on as only one of us would have to carry it over to our launch spot then we would we would undo the binder clips and release. It would be difficult moving the 3 rotor device while both of us were holding the rotors - risk of breaking the motor sticks would be high!

Windu34 thanks! and ScottMaurer during practice we were seeing times around 3 minutes with the triple rotor on a 9' ceiling but unfortunately we had issues with our motors last minute. We had been using the same ones for all of our competitions since January and were putting more winds on them as the season progressed which helped out times (along with the fact we were trying out new rotors) but unfortunately we snapped them before state so we had to fly on new motors that weren't fully broken in. IIRC we flew the second state flight on 58 winds (which was 3 mins, 2 sec) which is less than the max we could put on the broken in motors ~ 64 winds.

Still, nonetheless, very impressive craftsmanship.
Personally, I am amazed at what you were able to do with the design. Lesson for all flyers is to have several pre stretched motors for a significant competition.


Binance Launchpad, the token launch platform of the major global crypto exchange Binance, has completed a $4 million sale of Celer Network (CELR) tokens, the company wrote on March 19.
The tokens sale was completed in 17 minutes and 35 seconds, with all 597,014,925 CELR tokens sold in a single session.
As the company announced two weeks ago, the CELR token sale only accepted Binance's own cryptocurrency Binance Coin (BNB), with each CELR token worth 0.000434 BNB or $0.0067 dollar equivalent. One BNB could purchase 2,303.35821 CELR tokens. The minimum investment amount was set at $20, while the maximum contribution amount was capped at $1,500.
Binance Launchpad is an exclusive token launch platform of Binance that is designed to help blockchain startups raise funding to develop products targeting cryptocurrency adoption. As such, Celer Network represents a layer-2 scaling platform that aims to enable off-chain transactions for both payment transactions and generalized off-chain smart contracts.
Previously, Binance Launchpad hosted two major tokens sales such as the Fetch.AI (FET) and the BitTorrent token (BTT). The BTT sale concluded on Jan. 28, with investors purchasing all 50 billion BTT tokens, worth of $7.1 million, in less that 15 minutes. The FET token sale raised $6 million dollars on Feb. 25.
At press time, Binance is the second largest crypto exchange by daily trading volume, having been slightly overtaken by Hong Kong-based OKEx. Yesterday, trading analytics platform The Tie published research claiming that 90 percent of trade volumes reported by crypto exchanges may be incorrect.

New York Mets and New York Yankees face off in the first of the four game "Subway Series" tonight. The game tips off at 7:00 PM EST in Yankee Stadium, New York City, New York. All New Yorkers clash can be watched online live on FuboTV.
Finally, arguably the best hitter in modern baseball history- Aaron Judge will meet baseball's foremost power hitter- Michael Conforto in the series.
Michael Conforto hammered a two-run shot homer, marking his career-high 26th homer of the season, on Sunday's 6-2 win over the Phillies. Also, playing his final weeks with the Mets, Curtis Granderson hit a two-run homer, snatched three hits, ran three runs and scored three himself in Sunday's win.
As the Mets' continue their road trip they will send Rafael Montero to open the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium on Sunday. The Met's had no other option other than picking Montero, who is 0-4 with a 6.48 after all-star break for the task as they are left with very options in the rotation.
Masahiro Tanaka.'s injury has given Luis Cessa the opportunity to take the ball for the Yankees as the four-game, two-stadium Subway Series opens in the Bronx. The Right-hander has started in four outings this season, which clearly didn't go that well. Throwing 17 1/3 innings he gave up 14 runs (12 earned) posting a 6.23 ERA. This is his chance to put an end to his undermining form.

The Kit arrived from QKits Company in Canada to Iowa, USA in 5 business days, just in time for the weekend tinkering. Order Satisfaction is definatelly a 10. Contrary to the online description, it did include a Serial programming cable, a nice bonus. There was also a mini CD which had the software, schematics, and manuals for all the Velleman Kits on it, double bonus! However finding the VM111 folder was a little hard at first. The printed manual is identical to the online PDF version, however it proved very valuable during the development process. The PIC was already inserted in the socket. There was no description of the power supply polarity that I could find. Outside minus(-) inside plus(+) is what the board takes. 9V 300MA ended up working out just fine.

Be it game-changing qualification or superior leadership. Remel Executive Search seeks individual talents.
Welcome to Remel Executive Search!
In times of efficiency maximisation there is no time for random; this also applies to recruitment. Above all, in the quest for and casting of professional and managerial positions, the indefinite time factor becomes an "efficiency killer".
We can protect your company from this: As a headhunter, we make your recruiting plannable and, as a result, efficient. Profit of our widely branched network and our know-how, particularly in the scope of special searches in Germany, Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia, India and the Middle East.
National and international recruitment consulting on the highest level.
Companies looking to expand within Western Europe or the European Union often suffer from a lack of qualified and experienced specialists and managers. Remel Executive Search knows the personnel markets in the target countries as we are represented locally by partners of our own.
New structures and cultural diversity – a trustworthy and confident interaction with Eastern-European cultures is the first step towards a successful executive search.
In order to find suitable candidates in modern and controversial Russia and to create a trusting foundation for discussion, it is of benefit to have lived there, too.
When looking for leaders in Central Asia, cultural and religious differences from Europe and the know-how of a headhunter are of paramount importance.
The dynamics of Indian mentality and working style are the same for Central European understanding of chaos - here it is important to know the less obvious processes.
The Middle East is one of the most complex regions around the world. This is where the differences of culture, religion and politics clash, becoming incalculable for people from the West.
Remel Executive Search maintains a network on the Western European markets as well. We know the personnel markets in the respective countries and are present on site with our own partners, ensuring a local executive search.
In case of a bilateral termination of employment contract within six months, Remel Executive Search guarantees to conduct an alternative scan.
The guideline states the framework of the Executive Search.
The client is always kept up to date.
The anonymity of both the client and the candidate minimises "objectionable information flows".

Q: Сайт в IE показывается по умолчанию в режиме совместимости Почему сайт http://skb.sfolt.ru/ показывается по умолчанию в режиме Стандарт, а http://milliommetr.ru/miko7 - в режиме совместимости? Как сделать так, чтобы у всех пользователей при переходе на этот сайт стоял режим Стандарт? Если дело в доктайпах, проверила все страницы на сайте, везде доктайп есть.
A: Используйте следующий тэг:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Если есть возможность, вместо edge указывайте конкретную версию IE. Например, 8 или 10.
Использовать edge следует с осторожностью, поскольку:

Веб-разработчикам рекомендуется
использовать этот режим только на
тестовых страницах. Возможны
непредсказуемые результаты при
рендеринге контента страницы в будущих
версиях Windows Internet Explorer.

Кроме того, если у пользователя режим совместимости включен по умолчанию, то этот тэг не сработает. Нужно будет использовать особые заголовки.
с помощью php

<?php header('X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge'); ?>

или с помощью .htaccess (используется в HTML5 Boilerplate)
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge,chrome=1"
  # mod_headers can't match by content-type, but we don't want to send this header on *everything*...
  <FilesMatch "\.(appcache|crx|css|eot|gif|htc|ico|jpe?g|js|m4a|m4v|manifest|mp4|oex|oga|ogg|ogv|otf|pdf|png|safariextz|svg|svgz|ttf|vcf|webm|webp|woff|xml|xpi)$">
    Header unset X-UA-Compatible
  </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

Вопрос: Почему IE может переходить в "режим совместимости" на моем сайте?
Ответ:
На это есть несколько причин

*

*ранее при просмотре сайта была нажата кнопка "просмотр в режиме совместимости";

*переключение произошло автоматически из-за некоего контента, вызвавшего ошибку рендерера IE и вынудившего его откатиться на старую версию рендерера;

*режим совместимости был включен по умолчанию для всех сайтов;

*IE посчитал сайт частью вашей интрасети и переключился в режим совместимости;

*сайт попал в список Microsoft, как сайт, требующий включения режима совместимости;

A: Вот подробная схема взаимодействия IE и режима документов: Determining IE9's Document Mode

The 'Ultimate Trophy' Is Expected to Fetch $15M
A stunningly preserved T. rex skull will be auctioned
By Newser Editors and Wire Services
Posted Nov 20, 2022 4:25 PM CST
A Tyrannosaurus rex skull excavated from Harding County, South Dakota, in 2020-2021, is on display at Sotheby's in New York City on Friday, Nov. 4, 2022. When auctioned in December, the auction house expects the dinosaur skull to sell for $15 million to $20 million. (AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey)
A stunning Tyrannosaurus rex skull unearthed in South Dakota is expected to sell for $15 million or more at auction in New York next month, say officials with Sotheby's. The 200-pound skull fossil, nicknamed Maximus, is being sold Dec. 9 by an owner who wishes to remain anonymous, the auction house said. Most of the rest of this T. rex's remains were destroyed by erosion, but Sotheby's consultant Henry Galiano trumpeted the "extraordinary discovery" in a statement, per Artnet: "Unearthed in one of the most concentrated areas for T. rex remains, the skull retained much of its original shape and surface characteristics with even the smallest and most delicate bones intact, with an extremely high degree of scientific integrity."
The skull was excavated in 2020 and 2021 in Harding County, South Dakota, where other T. rex skeletons like Sue and Stan were found, according to Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby's head of science and popular culture. LiveScience notes Sue sold for $8.36 million in 1997, while Stan went for $31.8 million in 2020. This 6.5-foot fossil is about 76 million years old and still has most of the external skull bones and numerous teeth. Artnet cites Sotheby's as saying fewer than a dozen skulls of this quality exist in museum collections, and none of them have ever come up for auction.
Two large puncture holes in the skull are thought to be evidence of a big fight, probably with another T. rex. "We don't know that this is what caused the death of this animal, but we can tell that it did have a major battle during its lifetime," Hatton said. Marks on the skull are interesting to study "because they give us an idea about what life was like during the Cretaceous period," she added. This specimen may not be headed to a research institution, though. "It's the ultimate trophy," Hatton said. "To place in one's home." (Read more T. rex stories.)


Friday Favorites: A Pesto #Recipe, Coloring-in and a song from Demi Lovato!
G'day from Oz, lovely friends and welcome to my Friday Favorites post, the first one for a very long time! Today I'm sharing a pesto recipe, some coloring-in fun and a song from Demi Lovato!
My favourite flowers aren't actually flowers this week because I am loving all the gorgeous foliage of Autumn!
This week I picked as much basil as I could from our garden and made a huge batch of pesto.
If you don't have a favourite pesto recipe I love this one that I adapted from Jamie Oliver.
2 cups fresh basil leaves. I've modified this recipe many times by using baby spinach, kale, coriander (cilantro) or rocket.
45g (1/4 cup) pine nuts, lightly toasted. You can replace the pine nuts with any nut of your choice. Pistachios, cashews and almonds all work really well.
Place the pine nuts, basil, garlic and parmesan in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, gradually add the oil in a thin steady stream until well combined. Season and enjoy over warm pasta, as a dip with your favourite crackers and vegetables or as a condiment with barbecued meat.
Has anyone else released their inner child and started colouring-in to help them relax?
I have a few pages of coloring on my Colour My World Pinterest board if you would like some more coloring pages!
Follow Natasha in Oz @ natashainoz.com's board Colour my World on Pinterest.
I'm loving all the fabulous fashion ideas at the blog Hello Gorgeous. Yasi's style is elegant, modern and just plain gorgeous! She shares all of her professional outfits, along with where she bought the pieces.

The exhibition New Heimat at the Frankfurter Kunstverein was conceived in cooperation with the Frobenius Institute (Institute for Ethnography) at the Goethe University. It documents how the phenomenon of globalization does not necessarily lead to the disappearance of local cultures, but can instead give birth to new, hybrid cultures, in which Western influences experience transformation and traditional cultures are assimilated. The catalogue presents works that subject the phenomenon of globalization to a productive revision, and investigates the hallmarks of mobility and integration in a postcolonial world.

NASA Snaps Stunning Photos of Supersonic Aircraft
By Ryan Whitwam on March 7, 2019 at 11:03 am
Until Elon Musk can fly us around the world in a rocket, conventional air travel is the fastest way from point A to point B. It hasn't gotten any faster over the years, though. Commercial flights are limited by the speed of sound because no one wants sonic booms breaking their windows. That's why NASA and Lockheed Martin are working toward "low boom" technology. To that end, NASA took some photos of supersonic shockwaves, and the images happen to be quite cool.
Any aircraft traveling faster than the speed of sound generates a pressure front that surrounds the frame and forces surrounding air out of the way. People on the ground perceive that shockwave as a sonic boom. To better understand the physics at work and help in designing low-boom aircraft, NASA wanted to get images of supersonic planes in flight. Unsurprisingly, that's not very easy.
NASA captured the photos using a Beechcraft B200 Super King Air, a twin-turboprop aircraft with a top speed of about 350 miles per hour (570 kilometers per hour). The speed of sound is, of course, considerably faster at roughly 767 miles per hour (1,234 kilometers per hour). The subject of the photos is a pair of T-38 jets with a higher top speed. The B200 didn't need to keep up, though. It just had to be in the right place at the right time as the jets flew in formation, passing about 600 meters from the observer aircraft.
NASA upgraded the camera aboard the B200 to capture wide frames and improved the connection to data storage so it could snap 1,400 frames per second. The final images are a result of a technique called schlieren imagery, which is used to visualize pressure fields. They also happen to look neat.
The X59 concept aircraft that will test low boom technology in the coming years.
In the coming years, NASA and Lockheed Martin hope to have the experimental X-59 aircraft up and running to prove that low boom hypersonic flight is a possibility. The agency could use this same imaging technique to study how pressure waves form around the fuselage of this plane. The first flight could happen in 2021 or 2022. After that, NASA may be able to convince regulators to allow hypersonic flight over populated areas.

Q: Is it possible to display distinct record from dataset in RDLC report Did a quick search and couldn't find the answer I've been looking for.
So I have a vb.net windows application which uses RDLC to generate invoice, delivery order, price list and other documents. To reduce server load as much as possible, information will only be pulled once from the server and it includes order items, price and other necessary data.
Once the data is pulled (in xml) it will be filled into a dataset which will be used in generating various reports. Note that this same dataset is used in multiple RDLC reports to display different information.
So the problem in my case is that I cannot do a SELECT DISTINCT from the SQL level because the same set of data will also be used generate the invoice, but I also need to display a price list from the same dataset which only include distinct order items.
So the options I have:

*

*Have the RDLC to display distinct row, but I have no idea on how it can be achieved.

*Failing that, I might need to create another datatable in my xsd file using the existing dataset, separating the dataset into 2. Again, I have little idea on the details of execution.
Any input is much appreciated. Thanks!

A: After a few experiments I've managed to find a better (and easier) solution for the problem. It is probably the most elegant solution so far. So I figured that I post it here for others who ran into the same problem.
This is how the report looks in the designer

The green marking shows the respective row group and tablix row. The same item_id may exists in more than 1 line/row and I need to have them shown distinct. This can be done by using the grouping feature under the row group properties.

Under group expressions, add a new entry and select the field which needs to be shown distinct. It supports expressions too which is very very useful.

A: This example will contain three DataSets. Since we have three DataSets, I'll use three DataSources in one Report.rdlc. The scenario will be a simple production line. We'll have starting machines, machines that are being assembled and also machines who are getting shipped.
I'll assume you know how to create DataSets (.XSD) files. I will split up the code into sections and show you the final result in this post.
What is important to your question is how I assign three DataSources to one report.

Declarations
I have three custom classes, clsAssemblyState, clsExpeditionState, clsStartState which hold information that is gathered from the Database. These are just my custom classes which I use as objects. You bind your data with XML, I assign it programmatically as you'll see below in the "Filling DataTables Programmatically" section.
Dim ds1 As New dsAssemblies 'Link to my DataSet called dsAssemblies'
Dim ds2 As New dsExpeditions 'Link to my DataSet called dsExpeditions'
Dim ds3 As New dsStarts 'Link to my DataSet called dsStarts'
Dim sReportDataSource1 As ReportDataSource 'First datasource'
Dim sReportDataSource2 As ReportDataSource 'Second datasource'
Dim sReportDataSource3 As ReportDataSource 'Third datasource'
Dim AssemblyStates As List(Of clsAssemblyState) = clsAssemblyState.GetAll() 'List that contains all my machines being assembled'
Dim ExpeditionStates As List(Of clsExpeditionState) = clsExpeditionState.GetAll() 'List that  contains all my machines in shipping'
Dim StartStates As List(Of clsStartState) = clsStartState.GetAll() 'List of all my machines being started (paper work)'

Reseting the report
It is good practice to clear your report datasource before assigning new ones.
'Reset the viewer'
rv.Reset()
rv.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "YourProjectName.YourReportName.rdlc"
rv.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
sReportDataSource1 = New ReportDataSource()
sReportDataSource2 = New ReportDataSource()
sReportDataSource3 = New ReportDataSource()

Filling DataTables Programmatically
This will fill my dsAssemblies' DataTable, the same is done for the other two DataTables but it would be redundant for me to write this out here.
'Fill datatables'
If AssemblyStates.Count > 0 Then
    For Each asmState As clsAssemblyState In AssemblyStates
        Dim asm As New clsAssembly(asmState.FK_Assembly)
        Dim Machine As New clsMachine(asm.FK_Machine)
        Dim Client As New clsClient(Machine.FK_Client)
        Dim State As New clsState(asmState.FK_State)

        ds1.dtAssembly.Rows.Add(Machine.MachineNo, Machine.Description, Client.Nom, State.State, asm.DateTransfer.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))
    Next
Else
    'No information was retrieved from my GetAll(), therefor no rows ... I add a row with values of "N/A" notifying the user that there is nothing in that particular DataTable'
    ds1.dtAssembly.Rows.Add("N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A")
End If

Assign DataTables to DataSources
The sReportDataSource[i].Name are the names that I assigned to each DataTable of it's respective DataSet. I will show a picture of the DataSets below the code.
sReportDataSource1.Name = "Assembly_DataSet"
sReportDataSource2.Name = "Expedition_DataSet"
sReportDataSource3.Name = "Start_DataSet"
sReportDataSource1.Value = ds1.dtAssembly
sReportDataSource2.Value = ds2.dtExpedition
sReportDataSource3.Value = ds3.dtStart
rv.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(sReportDataSource1)
rv.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(sReportDataSource2)
rv.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(sReportDataSource3)
rv.RefreshReport()
Me.Show()

Here you see the three DataSets and their DataTables

Full Report Code
This method will generate a report using three datasources. Of course, you must assign those DataSets to something in your .rdlc such as three different tablix.
Private Sub GenerateStatusProduction()
    Dim ds1 As New dsAssemblies
    Dim ds2 As New dsExpeditions
    Dim ds3 As New dsStarts
    Dim sReportDataSource1 As ReportDataSource
    Dim sReportDataSource2 As ReportDataSource
    Dim sReportDataSource3 As ReportDataSource
    Dim AssemblyStates As List(Of clsAssemblyState) = clsAssemblyState.GetAll()
    Dim ExpeditionStates As List(Of clsExpeditionState) = clsExpeditionState.GetAll()
    Dim StartStates As List(Of clsStartState) = clsStartState.GetAll()

    'Reset the viewer'
    rv.Reset()
    rv.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "YourProjectName.YourReportName.rdlc"
    rv.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
    sReportDataSource1 = New ReportDataSource()
    sReportDataSource2 = New ReportDataSource()
    sReportDataSource3 = New ReportDataSource()

    'Fill datatables'
    If AssemblyStates.Count > 0 Then
        For Each asmState As clsAssemblyState In AssemblyStates
            Dim asm As New clsAssembly(asmState.FK_Assembly)
            Dim Machine As New clsMachine(asm.FK_Machine)
            Dim Client As New clsClient(Machine.FK_Client)
            Dim State As New clsState(asmState.FK_State)

            ds1.dtAssembly.Rows.Add(Machine.MachineNo, Machine.Description, Client.Nom, State.State, asm.DateTransfer.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))
        Next
    Else
        ds1.dtAssembly.Rows.Add("N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A")
    End If

    If ExpeditionStates.Count > 0 Then
        For Each expdState As clsExpeditionState In ExpeditionStates
            Dim Expd As New clsExpedition(expdState.FK_Expedition)
            Dim Machine As New clsMachine(Expd.FK_Machine)
            Dim Client As New clsClient(Machine.FK_Client)
            Dim State As New clsState(expdState.FK_State)

            ds2.dtExpedition.Rows.Add(Machine.MachineNo, Machine.Description, Client.Nom, State.State, Expd.DateTransfer.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))

    Else
        ds2.dtExpedition.Rows.Add("N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A")
    End If

    If StartStates.Count > 0 Then
        For Each strtState As clsStartState In StartStates
            Dim Strt As New clsStart(strtState.FK_Start)
            Dim Machine As New clsMachine(Strt.FK_Machine)
            Dim Client As New clsClient(Machine.FK_Client)
            Dim State As New clsState(strtState.FK_State)

            ds3.dtStart.Rows.Add(Machine.MachineNo, Machine.Description, Client.Nom, State.State, Strt.DateTransfer.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))
        Next
    Else
        ds3.dtStart.Rows.Add("N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A")
    End If

    sReportDataSource1.Name = "Assembly_DataSet"
    sReportDataSource2.Name = "Expedition_DataSet"
    sReportDataSource3.Name = "Start_DataSet"
    sReportDataSource1.Value = ds1.dtAssembly
    sReportDataSource2.Value = ds2.dtExpedition
    sReportDataSource3.Value = ds3.dtStart

WTF Willumsen
Center for Kultur og Fritid Willumsens Museum: March 26 – October 31, 2021
The virtual exhibition WTF WILLUMSEN is curated by the young, Danish, feminist artist Stense-Andrea Lind-Valdan. The exhibition presents a number of artists gently, teasingly and sometimes more roughly challenging the highly performative, typically masculine (self-)representations of the major Danish artist J. F. Willumsen (1863-1958). In a bold, transhistorical curatorial approach Willumsen's art is juxtaposed with works by artists such as Samella Lewis, Egon Schiele, Ana Mendieta, Meret Oppenheim, Frida Kahlo, Amoako Boafo, Kiki Smith, and Alfred Kubin among many others. The works speak of fragility, bodily experiences, vulnerability, loss, sorrow and empathy. The exhibition is built on the premises of the internet and offers "emergency exits" leading to external websites within a game structure, elegantly incorporating the intuitive impulse to jump from place to place, from image to image, within the digital.

Lasting Impressions: Selections from the Scripps College Permanent Collection
American Museum of Ceramic Art: January 12 – April 7, 2019
Curator: T Robert-Pacini
In the mid-1950s, renowned ceramist Paul Soldner came to Scripps after graduating from Otis and built the Scripps ceramic program into a major center of study. Soldner's leadership of the Scripps program along with the Scripps Ceramic Annual, were the prime reasons ceramics collector Fred Marer decided to give his superb collection to the college. This exhibition of more than thirty objects from the Marer collection at Scripps College includes works from the Otis group and the creations of many others, including, Laura Andreson, Robert Arneson, Hans Coper, Phil Cornelius, Jun Kaneko, and James Melchert.

Preserving China's Past: Paintings of the Ming-Quing Dynasties
Carleton College, Perlman Teaching Museum: January 4 through February 19, 2017
Scripps College has a large collection of paintings from China dating to the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1644 and 1644-1912). In recent years, over 30 paintings have been painstakingly conserved through grants from the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, as well as the Jean and Arthur Ames Fund.
These conserved Chinese paintings will be on display at the Perlman Teaching Museum of Carleton College. Daoist paintings depict sages and immortals; Buddhist paintings feature monks and bodhisattvas; several images show butterflies, birds and flowers, or scholars and ladies in garden settings. Delicately detailed pictures of birds and flowers are contrasted to quickly brushed impressions of nature.

Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years
Museum of Arts and Design, New York City, New York: October 18, 2016 through March 15, 2017
Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years is the first exhibition to focus on the early career of Peter Voulkos, from 1953-1968. While trained as a traditional potter, Voulkos' radical methods and ideas during this period opened up the possibilities for ceramics in ways that are still being felt today. Defying mid-century craft dictums of proper technique and form, Voulkos completely reinvented his medium. He combined wheel throwing with slab-building, traditional glazes with epoxy paint, figuration with abstraction, and made huge ceramic structures with complex internal engineering.

Jewel City: Art from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition
Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco, California: October 17, 2015 through January 10, 2016
The year 2015 marked the centennial of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), the San Francisco world's fair that celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal and the city's reconstruction following the great earthquake of 1906. The grand exposition covered 76 city blocks and boasted national and international pavilions showcasing innovation, industry, and the arts. At the heart of the PPIE was one of the most ambitious art exhibitions ever presented in the United States, encompassing more than 11,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs, in addition to a significant array of public murals and monuments. To mark this anniversary, Jewel City revisited this vital moment in the inauguration of San Francisco as the West Coast's cultural epicenter. The landmark exhibition at the de Young reassembled more than 200 works by major American and European artists, most of which were on display at this defining event.

Crossroads in Clay at Chouinard and Otis: The Ralph Bacerra Years
Vincent Price Art Museum, East Los Angeles College, Monterey Park, California: September 19 through December 5, 2015
VPAM presented Crossroads in Clay at Chouinard and Otis: The Ralph Bacerra Years, a group exhibition featuring more than thirty former students of artist Ralph Bacerra (1938 – 2008). Bacerra is recognized as a revolutionary ceramic artist and pedagogue who worked during a pivotal wave of modern ceramic expression in Southern California. Although the common denominator of this exhibition is Bacerra, the show itself was not about him, but instead was a rarely-told narrative chronicling the post-Voulkos generation of ceramists who attended the institutions where Bacerra taught. Bacerra was a faculty member at the Chouinard Art Institute from 1963 to 1971, and headed the ceramics department at Otis College of Art and Design from 1983 to 1996.

Traditions Transfigured: The Noh Masks of Bidou Yamaguchi
California State University Long Beach, California: January 25 – April 13, 2014
The human face and its expressive potential have inspired artists around the world for millennia. Arguably, Japan's Noh theater provides an unparalleled domain for exploring emotion and representing the human countenance. Today, Noh continues to inspire a dynamic dialogue between artists from Asia and the west. Expanding on this rich vein, Traditions Transfigured, both the exhibition, and its accompanying catalog, displayed contemporary works by Noh mask maker Bidou Yamaguchi. These masks applied the forms, techniques, transformative spirit, and mysterious elegance of Noh masks to iconic female portraits from the European art historical canon, and to Kabuki actor prints by Sharaku, Japan's enigmatic 18th century portrait master. The exhibition employed a number of Japanese wood block prints from the Scripps collection.
Tsukioka Kogyo: "100 Noh Plays: Nue", 1922-25. Ink on paper. 15 x 10 1/8 inches. Purchase by the Aoki Endowment for Japanese Arts and Cultures.

Friendship Forged in Fire: British Ceramics in America
American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, CA
February 9, 2013 – May 5, 2013
The historic "special relationship" between Great Britain and the United States spans decades and is deeply valued on both sides of the pond. Emerging from the alliances forged in the world wars over the first half of the 20th century, both British and American societies have benefited from the infusion of each other's cultural contributions.

California Design, 1930-1965: Living in a Modern Way
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA
October 2, 2011-January 22, 2012
This exhibition was the first major study of California midcentury modern design. With more than 300 objects—furniture, ceramics, metalwork, fashion and textiles, and industrial and graphic design—the exhibition examined the state's role in shaping the material culture of the entire country. Organized into four thematic areas, the exhibition sought to elucidate the 1951 quote from émigré Greta Magnusson Grossman that is incorporated into the exhibition's title: California design "is not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions… It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way."
California Design was part of Pacific Standard Time.
The RCWG contributed two slumped glass plates by Richard and Alice Petterson and a desk by Sam Maloof to the exhibition.
Crafting Modernism: Mid-Century American Art & Design
Museum of Art and Design, New York, NY
October 11, 2011 – January 15, 2012
Crafting Modernism was the fourth in a series of exhibitions on craft in the twentieth century. The show focused on the rich interplay of art and design in all craft media (clay, fiber, wood, metal, glass, and alternative materials) that exploded across the United States during the period from the 1940s to 1969. In the 1960s, artists increasingly began to consider the sculptural and aesthetic qualities of their materials, previously reserved for functional objects.
The RCWG lent Henry Takemoto's First Kumu (1959) and Jerry Rothman's Sky Pot (1960) to the exhibition.
Henry Takemoto, "First Kumu", 1959, Ceramic, glazed, 21¾in. x 22in. x 22in., Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marer.

Common Ground: Ceramics in Southern California 1945-1975
November 12, 2011 – March 31, 2012
This seminal exhibition of mid-century Southern California pottery focused on the tremendous growth and experimentation in studio and industrial ceramic work during the decades following WWII. Artist Millard Sheets (1907-1989), a leading educator and designer, exerted considerable influence on a multitude of Los Angeles area art institutions. Sheets' strongly held concept of "good design" acted as a catalyst in forming ceramic practices and opinions about art, interiors and architecture.
The RCWG contributed 24 ceramic works to the exhibition by various artists, including Albert H. King, Michael Frimkess, William Manker, John Mason, Jerry Rothman, Susi Singer, Henry Takemoto, and Beatrice Wood.
Common Ground is part of Pacific Standard Time.

Visions of the Orient: Western Women Artists in Asia, 1900-1940
Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena, CA
March 3–May 29, 2011
Visions of the Orient, one of the featured exhibitions in celebration of PAM's 40th anniversary, focused on the work of four Western women artists: Helen Hyde (1868-1919), Bertha Lum (1869-1954), Elizabeth Keith (1887-1956), and Lilian Miller (1895-1942), all of whom trained initially as painters but, while living in Japan, also designed woodblock prints. The exhibition explored the intersection of Euro-American art, the woodblock print movement, women, and East Asia to view the various ways that "the orient" served as a liberating professional space for women artists and as a place of diverse creative inspiration.
The RCWG lent more than 20 prints by Lilian Miller, including some of the artist's tools and pigments. Visions of the Orient is on a national tour this year, including stops at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon.

New Mayor and Council Take Office; No Coup Attempted
Peaceful transition of local power
By Mike Clark-Madison, Fri., Jan. 13, 2023
Mayor Kirk Watson settles into the new-to-him council chambers (Photo by John Anderson)
Austin celebrated on Jan. 6 – not the 2021 attempt to seize control of the U.S. government, but the 2023 arrival of a new (sorta!) mayor and several members of City Council. Only one Council member, Leslie Pool, remains from the original 10-1 Council seated eight years ago, and the new faces on the dais – Mayor Kirk Watson and CMs José Velásquez, Ryan Alter, and Zohaib Qadri – all indicated in their remarks that while the service of outgoing Mayor Steve Adler and his Council was greatly needed and appreciated, the past in this case is not prologue, and it's time for Austin to do new things.
The City Hall inauguration began with the presentation of the colors (the federal, state, and city flags) by the city's color guard, just as one sees at football games, except that the city doesn't have its own military, so the bagpipers and drum corps come from the public safety departments. This ritual attended to, Adler – who had been accused the day before in a criminal complaint of improper electioneering on ATXN – brought Municipal Court Presiding Judge Sherry Statman up to administer the oaths, took his seat in the gallery at Council chambers, and just like that became an ex-mayor.
The current mayor, who is also a former mayor, let everyone else speak before he did, and also moved the only other action item on the agenda – electing the mayor pro tem – up ahead of the speechifying. Despite murmuring that outgoing MPT Alison Alter would, or should, retain the title so she could easily be differentiated from Ryan Alter in conversations on the dais, the honor instead now rests on the shoulders of reelected CM Paige Ellis for calendar year 2023, and will pass to Leslie Pool in 2024. (Later, when it came time to draw seat assignments, the two Alters hilariously got put next to each other.)
In the Before Times, the MPT was almost always the longest-serving CM, but City Hall has figured out ways to pass the title around and allow its faint but not invisible power to shape Council business. That meant Ellis got to talk first, and she had plenty of thanks to give to her staff, family, friends, voters, and partner Ed Espinosa, former head of Progress Texas and her de facto campaign manager, with whom she managed to plan a nice wedding while running for reelection. (She does not recommend you try this at home.) "Council Member Pool and I will work closely together over the next two years to uphold [Council] procedures and policies to best serve our community in a responsible and equitable manner. And to my new colleagues, welcome to the dais; I know that working together we can make our city the best it can be, but let's please try to avoid meetings that go until 4am."
Next went CM Natasha Harper-Madison (like Ellis, reelected in November without much trouble). "I'm so incredibly proud to continue to represent my hometown," she told the crowd. "Thank you for the continued opportunity to do so." She continued with a familiar response from Austinites, especially East Austinites, to the endless boom time. "Today, I will say we have all the problems of a global city and none of the advantages. We don't have comprehensive transit and enough housing. So let's work on that together."
Then came the newbies. Velásquez recalled receiving a community service award at Austin's prior council chambers "24, 26 years ago when I was a student at Austin High, from this mayor," pointing to Watson. "So it's ridiculously surreal to be up here serving my hometown." Ryan Alter, an aide to Watson in the Texas Senate, thanked all his friends and family for their above-and-beyond help to the first-time candidate, and his new colleagues "for reaching out throughout this process; I know that I'm going to learn from all of you," before saving his climactic plaudits for his mayoral mentor: "You put your faith in a young law student eager to make Austin a better place [and] gave me the opportunity to follow my passion." And Qadri thanked the entire city: "You took in a guy with a funny name who looks like me, [and] made me feel that I belong."
Then it was Watson's turn to quote Yogi Berra ("déjà vu all over again") and describe his return to mayoralty: "I have to tell you I am very clear-eyed about the world we live in and how profoundly different it is from anything we've experienced. It's not lost on me that today is Jan. 6. … My hope for us in Austin is that we will relentlessly pursue unity. But nothing about Austin is a given."
Echoing a main campaign message, "For a lot of our neighbors, this is an emergency," the mayor continued. "[They] can't find an affordable place to live or are at risk of being forced out of their home. It's an emergency for Austinites experiencing homelessness, [and] for Austinites who don't feel safe in their homes or neighborhoods, or don't have the trust they deserve to have in their police. It's an emergency for Austinites who spend hours and hours every day just getting to and from work and school."
Watson committed to approaching these people in crisis with care and appreciation and a positive yet pragmatic vision. "Can we solve every problem? Can we realize everyone's ideal? No. And no one should expect that. But they should expect that their realistic aspirations to be safe, to be healthy, to be respected, to have opportunity, to be happy, can and will be carried out. So let's give them what they want."

El Monasterio de San Dionisio y San Bernardo de Odivelas se encuentra en la freguesia portuguesa de Odivelas. Es un ejemplar de la arquitectura religiosa, siendo calificado de interés nacional. Construido bajo el mandato de Don Dionisio I de Portugal, cuyos arquitectos fueron los maestros Antão e Afonso Martins, sirvió para abrigar a religiosos de la Orden del Císter en el .

Presenta diferentes estilos arquitectónicos como el gótico, manuelino y barroco. A lo largo de los años fue siendo alterado de acuerdo con las obras y los gustos de cada época. De la construcción inicial sólo permanece la cabecera gótica con bóvedas de nervuras chafadas.

Dentro de la capilla absidial reposa en su tumba Dionisio I. En otra capilla, se encuentra el túmulo vacío de María de Portugal, hija ilegítima del rey Dionisio, y en otra sepultura reposa el infante Juan, hijo de Alfonso IV de Portugal, que falleció cuando tenía un año de edad.

Fue escenario del «Auto de la Cananea», de Gil Vicente, pedido por la Abadesa Violante pare ser representado allí. Ha sido fruto de diversas ocupaciones, este edificio es hoy en día un colegio femenino para las hijas de militares, y se encuentra bajo la responsabilidad del Ministerio de Defensa de Portugal.

If you need a rabbi, an imam or other non-Christian spiritual advisor to accompany you into the death chamber in Alabama, God help you. Because the U.S. Supreme Court won't.
I understand why the state wasn't inclined to do any favors for Ray, who'd also been convicted of killing two teenage boys. But the constitutional principle at stake here is large and obvious. And the justices bungled it.
That treatment goes against the Establishment Clause's core principle of denominational neutrality.
This is a worrisome sign that the court's new, more conservative majority is going to take a blinkered view of the 1st Amendment's "Establishment Clause," which holds that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." There have been continual fights about what the clause means for public displays of religious faith by government officials or in government buildings, but there should be no confusion over the fundamental principle that the government must not foist a particular faith on the people. There can be no picking of winners by government in the competition for souls.
Which brings us back to Ray. Alabama stations a Christian chaplain in its death chamber — perhaps more for the benefit of prison guards and those who administer the lethal injection than for the prisoners being executed. Nevertheless, it's a clear endorsement of one faith over another.
The state argued that it has a compelling interest in preserving the security of its prisons, and it does have that. But as Kagan noted, there's no reason it couldn't give Ray's imam — or a rabbi, or the equivalent in any other faith — the same screening and training that it gives the Christian clerics who volunteer to serve as prison chaplains.
Even within Christianity, there are differences between denominations that matter to their adherents. The least that the state of Alabama can do — and what it must do under the 1st Amendment — is not impose its favored flavor of faith upon death row inmates as it sends them to meet their maker.

News Release 20-Aug-2009
Chronic kidney disease linked to malfunctioning mitochondria
BMC (BioMed Central)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been linked to oxidative stress caused by dysregulation of the genes that control mitochondria. A study in the open access journal BMC Genomics has revealed alterations in respiration gene expression in the white blood cells of CKD patients.
Gianluigi Zaza and Simona Granata, from the Renal Unit of University of Bari, Italy, led a team of researchers who carried out the genomic tests. Zaza said, "Our results suggest, for the first time, that CKD patients may have an impaired mitochondrial respiratory system and this condition may be both the consequence and the cause of enhanced oxidative stress".
The researchers found 44 genes that were up-regulated in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of CKD patients, compared to normal controls. Of these, 11 were genes were involved in the oxidative phosphorylation system. Further tests revealed that the levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) were significantly higher in the CKD group. Zaza and his colleagues suggest that these species are part of a vicious circle of respiration dysregulation that ultimately results in CKD, "Our hypothesis is that an increased production of ROS, due to the effect of pro-inflammatory mediators, may cause a profound inhibition of the oxidative phosphorylation system leading to a compensatory 'hypertrophy' of its components. In addition, a hypertrophic and impaired oxidative phosphorylation system may prime a vicious circle, causing a continuous release of ROS".

Bond issue clouds NWA workers' future

On paper, Delta Air Lines' acquisition of Northwest Airlines became final late last month, but many of its Eagan-based employees still are waiting to hear about the fate of their jobs.
A quick resolution to the dispute over Northwest Airlines' bond payments would help workers at Northwest's headquarters get answers sooner.
In 1992, Northwest made promises to the state of Minnesota and the Metropolitan Airports Commission to get a better interest rate on a $270 million bond issue. The deal called for Northwest to maintain a hub at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and keep its headquarters here. Northwest can be forced to pay off the bonds early if it violates those covenants, though the money is owed to bondholders — not the state.
The acquisition by Atlanta-based Delta means Northwest's headquarters will go away. Some of those jobs will go to Atlanta and others will disappear. The hub at the Twin Cities airport will remain.
The new Delta will pay off the bonds, Ed Bastian, the new CEO of Northwest, said in an interview Monday. The only question is the repayment schedule.
The amount still owed on the bonds is about $240 million, said Ben Hirst, Northwest's general counsel. The bondholders, primarily insurance companies, are getting a 6.5 percent rate of return and don't want the bonds paid off early.
If the airline violated the covenants tied to the bond financing, the MAC, which runs the Twin Cities airport, could seek immediate repayment. Bastian said the airline still is in compliance with the covenants, but as time goes on and Northwest's headquarters jobs start moving to Atlanta, it won't be.
He said Northwest employees and their families could know their fates more quickly, including whether they'll keep their jobs here or move to Atlanta, if the bond issue can be worked out relatively soon. Negotiations with the MAC haven't started, he said.
Northwest Airlines now has about 11,500 employees in the state — a figure that's dropped about 2,000 since earlier this year. As the airline cut the number of seats in the air — a reaction to the run-up in crude oil prices — it also reduced employment. About 2,000 of the Northwest jobs are in Eagan.
Now that the economy is slowing and airlines have cut their costs, Bastian said they could be one of the few industries in the country to be better positioned for strong performance in 2009. Still, the current state of the economy and tight credit markets mean there are no signs the airline industry will be adding capacity anytime soon, Bastian said.
Practically all of the nation's airlines significantly reduced their amount of flying in the past six months, as oil prices soared.
