La dorsal Pacífico-Antártica (DPA) o cordillera Pacífico-Antártica es un límite de placa tectónica divergente ubicado en el fondo marino del Océano Pacífico Sur, que separa la Placa del Pacífico de la Placa Antártica. Se considera como la sección sur de la Dorsal del Pacífico Oriental en algunos usos, generalmente al sur de la Zona de Fractura Challenger y se extiende hasta la Triple Unión Macquarie al sur de Nueva Zelanda.

La dispersión de las ondas sísmicas que se propagan a lo largo de la Dorsal Pacífico-Antártica indica que la corteza tiene un espesor de 6 a 7 km bajo la Dorsal y es ligeramente más delgada bajo las aguas profundas adyacentes. En la estación Hallett se registran fuertes ondas Love procedentes de los terremotos de la dorsal del Pacífico-Antártico, mientras que se registran fuertes ondas Rayleigh procedentes de los de la dorsal del Pacífico Oriental; esta diferencia se atribuye a la fuente más que al medio. La estructura de la dorsal del Pacífico-Antártico parece ser intermedia entre las encontradas por otros trabajadores para la dorsal del Pacífico Oriental y la dorsal del Atlántico Medio.

La cadena Louisville

Se extiende a lo largo de unos 4000 a 4300 km de longitud, 500-1000 y hasta 1500 km de anchura unos al noroeste desde la Cordillera Pacífico-Antártica hasta el Monte Osbourn en Tonga y Kermadec Junction Las profundidades predominantes por encima de la cresta son de 2500-3000 m, la profundidad mínima es de 878 m y las pendientes son relativamente suaves.

Hay una larga línea de montes submarinos llamada cadena Louiville, la cadena más larga de este tipo en el Pacífico, que se cree que se formó a partir de la placa del Pacífico deslizándose sobre un centro de larga vida de magma emergente llamado el punto de acceso de Louisville.

La principal característica que los distingue de otras crestas de la línea media es el mayor ancho, menos disección y una zona de ruptura menos pronunciada.  En la estructura, las zonas de fallas pasantes y desfiladeros asociados juegan un papel importante, que cortan la cresta en segmentos separados y permiten la libre penetración de las aguas frías del fondo del sur en las cuencas ubicadas al norte.

Comparación de la Dorsal Pacífico-Antártica con otras dorsales medio oceánicas
Las dorsales medio-oceánicas no tienen todas las mismas estructuras. Los experimentos de refracción sísmica realizados por Raitt y Shor, y recogidos por Menard (1960), muestran que bajo la cresta de la Dorsal del Pacífico Oriental se encuentran velocidades de 7-5 km/seg a una profundidad de 4,5 km por debajo del suelo marino. Menard asocia esta roca con el manto, aunque la velocidad es inferior a la habitual. Por lo tanto, postula un adelgazamiento de la corteza por debajo de la cresta de la Elevación, que asocia con el cinturón de alto flujo térmico señalado por Von Herzen (1959). Los estudios de la dispersión a lo largo de la elevación del Pacífico Oriental por Kovach y Press (1961) dan un espesor de la corteza comparable (5 km), aunque este resultado está sujeto a la incertidumbre inherente a los estudios de ondas Rayleigh sobre zonas oceánicas. Los trabajos realizados no muestran ningún adelgazamiento de la corteza bajo la Dorsal Pacífico-Antártica; incluso parece que la profundidad indicada de la base de la corteza, es, si acaso, mayor bajo la Dorsal que bajo los océanos circundantes.

Ewing y Ewing (1959) descubrieron mediante experimentos de refracción que la Dorsal del Atlántico Medio consiste de una capa de material con velocidad 5-15 km/seg y un grosor de 2-5 km, sobre el que se encuentra un material con una velocidad de 7-2-7-4 km/s. Estas velocidades son inusuales para la corteza oceánica, y Ewing y Ewing sugirieron que el material subyacente era una mezcla de manto y rocas de la corteza. Talwani, Heezen y Worzel (1961) descubrieron que la anomalía gravitatoria en aire libre era ligeramente positiva en toda la Dorsal, y que la anomalía de Bouguer tenía un valor mínimo sobre la cresta. Demostraron que esto es consistente con una profundidad de unos 22 km hasta el nivel de las velocidades normales del manto del manto normal, siempre que haya un cierto engrosamiento de la capa de 5-15 km/s en la región de la cresta.

La Dorsal del Pacífico Oriental es más amplia y suave que la Dorsal del Atlántico Medio. En muchos lugares de la Dorsal Mesoatlántica se ha observado una grieta central, pero no se ha encontrado en la Dorsal del Pacífico Oriental. Sin embargo, se han encontrado altos valores de flujo de calor cerca de las crestas de ambas dorsales (Von Herzen y Uyeda, 1963). La dorsal del Pacífico-Antártico tiene algunas características en común con la dorsal atlántica central, y otras con la dorsal del Pacífico oriental. Al igual que la Dorsal Mesoatlántica, es rugosa topográfica y magnéticamente (Adams y Christoffel, 1962), pero se asemeja a la dorsal del Pacífico oriental por no tener una grieta mediana (Heezen, 1962). La dorsal pacífico-antártica no parece, tener la inusual estructura de la corteza de la dorsal medio-atlántica.
Como informó Sykes (1963), hay una aparente brecha que separa los terremotos de la dorsal pacífico-antártica
(Grupo 1) de los de la Dorsal del Pacífico Oriental (Grupo 2); los terremotos de las dos regiones también difieren en el tipo de onda dispersiva dominante registrada en la estación Hallett.

Let's face it, there are many things about Christmas that are wonderful; mince pies, mulled wine and Christmas parties to name but a few. However, the one thing that sends chills down most of our spines is the annual Christmas shopping nightmare – hours spent trudging from shop to shop, laden with bags and standing impatiently in queues. Add Black Friday crowds into the mix and the anxiety levels increase even more! To help ease the pain I've discovered a great website, JustMyLook which should have it all solved for you. Not only does their online shop have a wonderful selection of beauty products from a range of fabulous brands, but they also have an amazing Black Friday Weekend of offers (Friday 27th to Sunday 29th November) and all can be purchased from the comfort of your own home, whilst in your PJs!
If you are the type who leave everything last minute, there are a variety of great offers over the Black Friday Weekend and it has arrived at the perfect time - just when the Christmas shopping panic has started to set in. You could also check out the electricals line, with 10% off all electricals hopefully you will start to feel the present-fear subside. Or are you ridiculously organised and have already bought, wrapped and hidden all your Christmas presents? If so why not treat yourself? Add a festive injection to your AW look - take advantage of JustMyLook's Black Friday OPI Nail Polish offer – buy three for the price of two! 'Desperately Seeking Sequins' and 'Chasing Rainbows' are two sparkly favourites, and for a twist of festive sophistication add the beautiful red 'Amore at the Grand Canal'!
Finally, for an extra special bonus there's 20% off your total when you buy two or more products. Even more of an excuse to add a couple of extra treats for yourself (isn't it weird that there always seems to be a direct correlation between your growing make-up bag and your Christmas present purchasing?!). So pop on the kettle, snuggle up on the sofa and get clicking, but please, take a minute to think of those other poor souls who didn't get the JustMyLook memo and are battling the shopping crowds. Let's hope they make it out okay.
These boxes are looking so cute !

Shadoks presents the first of three albums reissued on CD by heavy prog/psych South African band The Third Eye. The original pressing came out on Polydor in 1969, and thanks to the cooperation of band members Dawn Selby (Hammond organ) and her brother Ron Selby (guitar), this project came to life again. The Third Eye started playing in 1968, based in Durban -- a coastal city several hundred miles away from the recording and musical hub of Johannesburg. Awakening... came out in 1969 when Dawn Selby was only 14 years old. Just imagine her age when you listen to the blistering organ and piano tracks. Followed by two more albums Searching (1969) and Brother (1970), The Third Eye produced a veritable volcano of work in a short period of time, even challenging fellow peers Freedoms Children for the title of heaviest band in South Africa. Awakening... is the most complex of all three of their albums, with great brass arrangements, piano, Hammond organ, fuzz-guitar and soul-infused vocals. Musically headed in the direction of bands such as Electric Flag, The Flock's Dinosaur Swamps, Chicago, The Nice, and Al Cooper, this is pure electric underground of the best sort. Other members include: Maurice Saul (vocals, lead guitar), Robbie Pavid (drums), and Mike Sauer (six-string bass).

'57 Kentucky Derby was one for the ages
by DICK JERARDI, jerardd@phillynews.com, Posted: May 4, 2007
Bill Shoemaker, on the outside, rides Gallant Man to second-place finish behind Iron Liege in 1957 Kentucky Derby.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A half century later, it is still the greatest Kentucky Derby ever run. Half of the horses, jockeys and trainers in the 1957 Derby ended up in the Racing Hall of Fame. And that isn't remotely the most interesting thing that came out of that race.
There were only nine horses (what became of that?) in the starting gate at Churchill Downs that first Saturday in May. But what a group it was. Bold Ruler, Gallant Man and Round Table would be on any list of the top 50 horses of the 20th century. Gen. Duke might have been the best of the bunch. And none of them even won the race.
Dick Jerardi | Winner will be Circular Quay, or . . .
Your guide to the Kentucky Derby
Eddie Arcaro rode Bold Ruler, who went favored at 6-5. The colt was trained by 82-year-old "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, the same man who won the 1930 Triple Crown with Omaha and the 1935 Triple Crown with Omaha's son, Gallant Fox, the same Fitzsimmons who gave up on a perpetual loser named Seabiscuit right after those Triple Crowns.
Round Table was the second choice, Gallant Man the third. The speedball Federal Hill was 7-1 fourth choice. Four others were between 42-1 and 73-1 and they finished as their odds suggested they would, sixth through ninth.
Gen. Duke, owned by the legendary Calumet Farm, would have been one of the favorites. After all, Calumet had already won the Derby over and over and had won the Triple Crown with Whirlaway and Citation. Calumet was the Yankees of horse racing.
Four days before the Derby, Gen. Duke and his stablemate, Iron Liege, ran in the Derby Trial won by Federal Hill. Gen. Duke was second and Iron Liege fifth. The race was, in every sense, a trial. The result would not have much meaning. Gen. Duke, however, suffered an injury to his left front foot. On the morning of the Derby, Gen. Duke was scratched.

Get the news you need to start your day
Calumet would try to win another Derby with Iron Liege, a horse that nobody took that seriously and would be sent off at 8-1. Bill Hartack, who was to ride Gen. Duke, ended up on Iron Liege.
Federal Hill took the early lead. Iron Liege and Bold Ruler were chasing. Round Table was just behind with Gallant Man, as was his custom, far back. Federal Hill could not sustain the pace. Bold Ruler could not keep up. Iron Liege hit the front in the stretch with Gallant Man flying at him in the final 200 yards. With barely 100 yards left, as the top pair hit the sixteenth pole, Gallant Man, with the great Bill Shoemaker, appeared to have all the momentum and took the lead.
But Shoemaker thought the sixteenth pole was the finish line and, for an instant, stood up, and cost his horse critical momentum. Hartack put Iron Liege back in front and kept him there to win by a nose. Round Table was third and Bold Ruler fourth.
Gallant Man's owner, Ralph Lowe, had dreamt that Shoemaker stood up before the wire a few nights before the race. He told the Shoe about his dream. And then Shoe did the dream.
Bold Ruler won the Preakness with Iron Liege second. Gallant Man passed the Preakness and crushed the field in the Belmont Stakes.
Round Table went back to California, finished second in his next race, won his next 11 starts and finished his amazing career with 43 wins in 66 starts. As good as he was on dirt, he might have been even better on grass. When Round Table was retired in 1959, the horse had earned a then-record $1.7 million.
Gallant Man won 14 of 26 races, including the Travers, Jockey Club Gold Cup and Metropolitan Mile.
Bold Ruler won 23 of 33. He was speed that could keep going, a 1950s version of Smarty Jones. More important, he was a great sire. His greatest son, Secretariat, won the greatest Triple Crown in 1973.
By the end of 1957, those three had become dominant, but had not settled anything. So the three of them came to old Garden State Park on Nov. 9 to run in the Trenton Handicap. It was just those three in the gate. There was no need for others.
With his speed, Bold Ruler took the track, quickly opened up an 8-length lead and coasted home to win by 2 1/4 lengths over slight favorite Gallant Man, with Round Table, his 11-race winning streak over, another 8 1/2 lengths back in third. Bold Ruler was voted Horse of the Year.
Gen. Duke never raced after the Derby Trial. Iron Liege was a nice horse, winning 11 of 33 starts. He was not a great horse. But on May 4, 1957, the backup beat Gallant Man, Round Table and Bold Ruler. The next year, they put a big red disc over the finish line. And 50 years later, Iron Liege still won the 1957 Kentucky Derby. *

Council to take closer look at shark barrier proposal
The City of Mandurah has reiterated the need for the Falcon Bay beach shark barrier proposal to be addressed through the appropriate planning processes to ensure the project's success.
The City received written confirmation from the State Government, via Fisheries Minister David Kelly, on June 28 that a one-off grant of $200,000 would be made available to provide a safe area for swimmers at Falcon Bay.
However, Mayor Marina Vergone stressed that to get this project right from the start, the proposal must go through the correct council processes.
"This is an important project for our local community, and will go a long way towards making people feel safe while swimming and enjoying other water-based activities," Mayor Vergone said.
"Yet to make this proposal the success that we all want it to be, we must get it right, and that firstly includes the City and Council taking the correct measures to assess the project in full detail, as well as other associated financial costs that may come with it.
"The Falcon Bay shark barrier project is definitely not off the table, nor is the City trying to hold up the process. We recognise the community support and understand the demand for such initiatives, and similar facilities may be needed at other locations throughout the city.
"We hope to make this proposal the most effective it can be. The only way to do that is to take the time, care and consideration to look at all the factors of this proposal."
The Council will consider the project in greater detail over the coming months, and will also likely consider the potential impacts on the amenity of the area, the capacity of the site to accommodate a likely increase in visitors to the beach, and ongoing maintenance requirements.
The City is also working closely with the State Government to work through the details of the proposal, including the finalisation of the grant agreement.

The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), the Friends of NCPTT, National Park Service, the National Park Service Intermountain Regional Office, Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, the Living New Deal, and the ASLA New Mexico Chapter partnered to hold a three-day symposium discussing the preservation of National Park Service (NPS) designed buildings and landscapes. This event coincided with the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.
The symposium focused on issues related to the preservation of park built features. NPS built environments span one hundred years of development from the early rustic period when railroad transported tourists to large western parks; through a period of major construction and land conservation during the Great Depression completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA); into the post-WWII era and the NPS Mission 66 campaign and up through contemporary development. The NPS also played a major role in the improvement and development of state parks nationwide, through their administration and supervision of CCC and WPA crews working in these parks.
Ethan Carr, Phd, FASLA, is a landscape historian and preservationist specializing in public landscapes. He has taught at the Harvard GSD, the University of Virginia, and at the University of Massachusetts, where he is a professor. He has written two award-winning books, Wilderness by Design (1998) and Mission 66: Modernism and the National Park Dilemma (2007), and he is the volume editor of Volume 8 of the Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted, The Early Boston Years, 1882–1890 (2013). He is the co-editor of a volume on the history of world park design, Public Nature (2013).
The symposium featured a robust poster session offering a wide variety of topics. For more information, click here.

Q: Continue table on new page when new column is added I'm currently generating a table in Word with VB.Net, and I was wondering if it is possible to 'break' the table when a new column is created, like when you add a new row, it can break the table, and continue on a new page with table headers.
It would be useful since my program generates only columns, and Word tries to make the table fit on the page, even if there are to many columns to be rendered.
I'm generating commercial quotation based on information given by a client (configuration for machines), and currently the table has 3 columns, but the number might grow up if the client has more than 3 demands.

A: Just being curious, why is it required to be done in MS-Word?
Or maybe just set the page as horizontal, generate your table row by row, but with all text in table cells set to 90 Degree rotated. Then you'll get a horzitonal splitted long-table across multi pages.

A: This seems like it will be easier in Excel or HTML tables as Word tables are a bit frustrating.
You can make each column a separate table, then in the table properties you can select Text wrapping Around so that the tables are next to each other, and in Positioning... you can adjust the Left: and Right: Distance from surrounding text to decrease the space between the tables.

This is the week I said we'd roll our own DSL. On the surface it looks like a daunting task, but it is actually not that hard at all — if you can get past the many regulatory loopholes. But why would you even want to do such a thing? Well maybe DSL isn't available in your area. Maybe you want a significantly cheaper alternative to a T-1 line. Or just maybe you and the kid down the block want to play networked games at warp speed. Well here is how to do it.

According to the CFTC, a settlement was reached with five entities that were charged with running the BitMEX crypto derivatives platform.
The five entities are HDR Global Trading Limited, 100x Holding Limited, ABS Global Trading Limited, Shine Effort Inc Limited, and HDR Global Services (Bermuda) Limited.
"The order requires the BitMEX entities to pay a $100 million civil monetary penalty, and provides that up to $50 million of the penalty may be offset by payments the BitMEX entities make or are credited pursuant to a Consent to Assessment of Civil Monetary Penalty entered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network."
The CFTC further states that its litigation against BitMEX founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed will continue.
In the CFTC complaint filed on October 1st of 2020, the regulator accused BitMEX's founders and entities of partially operating from the US and serving US customers.
"The CFTC complaint charged the entities and founders with operating the BitMEX platform while conducting significant aspects of BitMEX's business from the U.S. and unlawfully accepting orders and funds from U.S. customers to trade cryptocurrencies, including derivatives on bitcoin, ether, and litecoin."
FinCEN accused BitMEX of operating with inadequate anti-money laundering and customer identification measures.
"For over 6 years, BitMEX failed to implement and maintain a compliant anti-money laundering program and a customer identification program, and it failed to report certain suspicious activity.
From approximately 2014 through 2020, BitMEX allowed customers to access its platform and conduct derivative trading without appropriate customer due diligence – collecting only an email address and failing to verify customer identity."

2017 NHL Draft: Will Hischier, Patrick Produce?
AlexanderP | June 24, 2017
Heading into the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, there was some debate about who the Toronto Maple Leafs would take first overall. For most, American Auston Matthews was the choice. But some couldn't get past the Mike Bossy-like goal scoring potential of Finland's Patrik Laine. Everyone agreed that both the Leafs and Winnipeg Jets (who owned the no. 2 pick) would wind up with an immediate contributor.
Everyone was right. Sort of.
Matthews and Laine weren't just immediate contributors. They were immediate stars. Matthews became the first rookie to reach the 40-goal mark since Alex Ovechkin, while Laine had 36, himself, and might have hit 40 if he hadn't been sidelined for nine games.
The 2017 draft featured a similar debate at the top. Heading into last night, it was a foregone conclusion that Nico Hischier (Halifax Mooseheads by way of Switzerland) and Nolan Patrick (Brandon Wheat Kings) would go first and second in some order. The New Jersey Devils wound up taking the speed and hands of Hischier first overall, while the Philadelphia Flyers immediately snapped up Patrick's quick release at number two.
Following on the heels of near-historic rookie campaigns from Matthews and Laine, fans in Jersey and Philly might expect similar production from their newest additions. Should they?
In a word: no. Hischier and Patrick will be solid NHL players for a number of years. But these aren't transcendent talents, it pains me to say. Matthews was the best player on a young Leafs team the second he stepped on the ice. Laine was instantly the most lethal option in the Jets' attack. They saw the ice a ton because they were their teams' best options.
The same won't necessarily be true for Hischier and Patrick. Between the two, Hischier figures to get more quality ice-time with top linemates. The Devils are in serious need of a first-line center. Adam Henrique, Pavel Zacha, and Travis Zajac have their place, but next to a scorer like Taylor Hall isn't it. Hischier could slot in next to Hall n Jersey's top line if he shows well in camp.
Patrick on the other hand will have a tough time cracking Philly's top-six unless he moves to the wing. Claude Giroux has the first-line spot on lock. Valtteri Filppula, who missed much of last season due to injury, figures to slot in as the second-line center.
What can we reasonably expect in terms of production from the pair? Let's set the odds and some over/unders for their rookie seasons.
Hischier/Patrick Rookie Milestones
Odds to score 40 goals as a rookie
Hischier: 49/1
Patrick: 99/1
No one on the Devils had more than 26 goals last year. This is one of the most offensively-challenged teams in the league; their 183 goals-for were third-lowest in the NHL. Hischier will help, but he's not a panacea. If he was going to be next to a play-making winger, his odds would be a little shorter. But his best-case scenario is that he plays with Taylor Hall, who's a lot better known for driving the net with his head down than throwing filthy sauce across the crease.
Patrick simply won't get the necessary ice-time, especially on the power play. The Flyers didn't score a ton last year (219 goals-for) but they have ample forwards with impressive offensive resumes, including Claude Giroux, Jakob Voracek, and back-to-back 30-goal scorer Wayne Simmonds.
Odds to lead team in points
Hischier: 5/1
Hall has been a point-per-game player twice in his seven-year career. He had 53 points in 72 games last year, while he was basically centered by the default create-a-player from NHL 17. If he's healthy, he's the strong bet to lead the NJ offense.
On the Philly front, Giroux is coming off a down year, but he's hit 70 four times in his career. Voracek is just two years removed from an 81-point season. They'll be the go-to guys in Philly for at least another year, for better or worse.
As you'll see from the statistical over/unders on Hischier and Patrick, below, they'll have to greatly exceed (my) expectations to approach a point-per-game pace.
Odds to make the All-Star Game
Patrick: 9/1
The Flyers and Devils will likely be sending one player a piece to the 2018 NHL All-Star Game. The rookies won't be getting rewarded unless they are truly the best that Jersey and Philly have to offer. This isn't your driveway, where your youngest brother gets to touch the puck because mom said so.
Hischier/Patrick Rookie Over/Unders
O/U points as a rookie
Hischier: 39.5
Patrick: 35.5
Half a point per game would be a solid start for Hischier. There's still a chance he doesn't even make the team. Jersey is not going to be good next year. They may see value in letting him develop in Halifax for another year, instead of getting thrown into a losing mix in the pros.
I'm more sold on Patrick being NHL-ready given his size and toughness but, as already discussed, he won't get the necessary ice-time to post gaudy stats.
O/U time-on-ice as a rookie
Hischier: 17:59
Patrick: 16:59
Patrick won't get the power-play minutes Hischier is likely to see. But he's a great two-way player who could take on some tougher defensively responsibilities and maybe even a penalty-kill role. Philly's top-three centers all averaged over 17 minutes per game last year.
Zajac and Henrique both averaged over 18 minutes per game last year for the Devils. Zajac was at nearly 20 thanks to his two-way abilities. Hischier won't be counted on to shutdown any of the opponent's top guns, but he should steal some of the prime offensive minutes from Zajac and Henrique if he plays to his potential.

If Washington won't, maybe Sacramento will. It's an approach that has yielded tougher smog and energy laws for California when political timidity stalled action on Capitol Hill. Now the example is Cal Grants, which pay up to $9,703 yearly per student to attend college.
Facing a $26.6 billion deficit, a budget-cutting legislative panel is proposing a new formula in doling out the grants by weighing student-loan default rates. If significant numbers of students fail to pay back loans, then a college wouldn't be eligible to offer state grants.
The change gets to the heart of a serious problem: for-profit colleges that use aggressive sales tactics to draw in students with inflated promises of future jobs and better incomes. When the promises don't pan out, the students default on the loans. In California, the state grant money becomes an incentive in this process.
Congress is working toward reforms despite heavy lobbying from for-profits, which include the University of Phoenix, DeVry and Corinthian. Here in California, the Legislature has a chance during budget decision-making to impose its own fix, one that would pressure for-profits to cut default rates and scale back on overboard promises. This outcome could be a good result in an otherwise bleak budget season.

It seems very hard to undertand that of all the 100's of pieces that I made, as I can see from my notebooks I might only find three to photograph. I sold some, gave others away and some I can recall my sense of loss in their breakage.
In hindsight it seems clear that our teaching was rooted in the Leach/Hamada nexus and I recall doing a great amount of trailed slip decoration. But there were other influences sneaking in from the younger teaching staff: notably the work of Hans Coper and I did a lot of work on cut forms.
Despite the above I was encouraged to find my own voice and it has to be admitted that ultimately I was throwing and building in order to have bases for decoration. At that time, I was particularly interested in the nature of space-filling curves and tessellation schemes and these patterns of interlocked triangles or as here triangles denoted by their vertices were common themes.
The japanese iron glazes were staples but what was unknown to me at the time was the startling irregularities and serendipitous colouring that wood fired kilns can throw up. Once a year however we would have a raku firing and here is one of mine from that period. What if I have photographed its best side for the crazing and the copper colour?

Twitter Appoints New India Grievance Officer; Releases IT Rules compliance report
New Delhi, NFAPost: As a prelude to comply with the Indian IT Act, Twitter has appointed a new grievance officer. The decision also comes after getting an adverse comment from the Delhi High Court for taking too long to fill the position.
The appointment also comes weeks after Twitter's previous grievance officer had quit as he did not wish to get caught amid the tensions between the microblogging platform and the Indian government. On its website, Twitter now shows the name of Vinay Prakash as its new India grievance officer.
It is worth noting that the company had earlier this week told the Delhi High Court that it will appoint a grievance officer on an interim basis by July 11.
Twitter confirmed the appointment of Vinay Prakash but declined to comment on our queries. On Thursday, Twitter had informed the Delhi High Court that it had already appointed an interim compliance officer on July 6 and committed to appointing a nodal officer within two weeks.
India's new social media rules mandate significant social media intermediaries like Twitter to appoint chief compliance, nodal and grievance officers.
Twitter's previous grievance officer, Dharmendra Chatur, had quit in June, following which the company had told the Delhi High Court that the reason why Chatur resigned from his post was because there was a lot of "precipitation going around" between the microblogging website and the Indian government and he did not want to put himself into that.
Twitter on Sunday also released its compliance report as required under the social media rules. As per the report, between May 26, 2021 and June 25, 2021 the company took action on over 130 links, a majority of which were related to defamation.
The company said it suspended more than 18,000 accounts for sharing content related to child sexual exploitation and non-consensual nudity, among others via proactive monitoring. It also suspended over 4,100 accounts for promoting terrorism on the platform, as per its compliance report.
"A vast majority of all accounts that are suspended for the promotion of terrorism and child sexual exploitation are proactively flagged by a combination of technology and other purpose-built internal proprietary tools," Twitter said.

Possible Civil War Scenarios in Iraq following the KRG Referendum
By Emrah Kekilli
The PYD stated that they would be ready to perform their duty at a possible conflict in Kirkuk, which clearly illustrates that the PKK and the PYD wish to make room for themselves by taking advantage of a possible crisis in Iraq.

The Iraqi Kurdistan independence referendum, which was held upon the insistence of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) President Masoud Barzani despite all the objections of local, regional and international actors, poses numerous risks that could drift the entire region into a state of chaos. The rising tension in Kirkuk after the Kirkuk governor Najmiddin Karim declared the referendum and the subsequent developments have shown how the decision to hold a referendum could drag Iraq and the region into further instability.
Tensions between the Erbil and Baghdad administrations, which have reached their peak due to the referendum decision, have also reverberated into relations between the Peshmerga forces and the Iraqi army. Peshmerga forces were not included in the anti-Daesh operations launched in Hawija, a southern district of Kirkuk. In the midst of this strained atmosphere, only a week before the referendum, a conflict broke out between the Turkmens and Kurdish groups in Kirkuk, illustrating that the tension looming over the city might culminate into a major scale conflict at any moment. In addition, the fact that the Iraqi Turkmen Front, a significant actor in the city, announced that they would not recognize the referendum, revealed that the tension between Turkmens and Kurds would not simmer down after the referendum.
As Erbil increasingly insisted on the referendum, the Baghdad administration did not hesitate in responding with hostile measures. The Iraqi Parliament discharged the Kirkuk governor from duty and vested the Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi with all kinds of authorities in order to protect the territorial integrity of Iraq by referring to his title of "Commander-in-Chief." Vested with this authority, Abadi displayed that they would harshly respond to the KRG's steps toward independence by stating a day before the referendum that the referendum is null and void. On the day of the referendum, the Iraqi Parliament assigned the Abadi government to send troops to Kirkuk. These developments highlighted that the decision-makers in Baghdad and the Abadi government have taken a determined stance concerning the referendum and the disputed territories in a coordinated and synchronized way. All these factors indicate that the disputed territories, which include Kirkuk, constitute the focal point of the referendum crisis.
The KRG administration insists on seizing control over the disputed territories by affording all the risks of conflict mainly due to the natural resources in those areas. According to the figures provided by the International Energy Agency, the overall oil reserves in the KRG region correspond to 4 billion barrels, while the inclusion of the disputed territories to the KRG will increase this amount to 45 billion barrels. Given that oil forms a large part of the KRG's total revenues, Kirkuk's importance for Erbil can be seen more clearly.
Another reason for the KRG's expansionist policy in the disputed territories is the ambition to control the lowlands and the areas that are fit for cultivation aside from the highlands where Kurds are densely populated. The KRG regards the valleys that contain water resources and which are fit for cultivation, such as Tel Keppe and Zummar located in the north of Mosul, as strategic targets. Therefore, the KRG estimates that an independent Kurdish state would not be sustainable unless it includes the disputed territories.
Possible conflicts that could arise following the referendum
Following the referendum, conflicts could possibly break out in the disputed territories that strained the relations between the KRG and the Iraqi central administration. The Iraqi Parliament's instructions to Abadi for intervention indicate that the disputed territories will bear witness to a sovereignty struggle in which the rivals may use force. Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution rules holding referenda in Kirkuk and other disputed territories to determine which administration the territories will belong to. However, not all disputed territories are clearly specified in the Article. Due to this, the KRG were able to create an actual state and claim sovereignty, seizing control of a line that expands from Mosul in the west of Iraq to Mandali in the east. Before considering the requirements of organizing a referendum in these territories, it must be discussed whether the areas de facto seized by the KRG are within the disputed territories. A scenario in which these discussions cannot be finalized through negotiations might lead to a civil war. The process as of 2003 has clearly illustrated that if and when desired results cannot be obtained through negotiations, this ends in a civil war for Iraq.
A possible conflict between Baghdad and Erbil will undermine the fight against Daesh while creating a more convenient area of crisis for terror groups such as the PKK and its Syrian wing PYD. Conflict between Peshmerga and Iraqi forces may exacerbate the tension among different ethnic and religious groups in the disputed territories. Daesh and similar terror groups are likely to take advantage of such chaos and expand their domains. Besides, the PKK will want to consolidate its presence in Sinjar and make room for itself by benefiting from the crisis. The PYD stated that they would be ready to perform their duty at a possible conflict in Kirkuk, which clearly illustrates that the PKK and the PYD wish to make room for themselves by taking advantage of a possible crisis in Iraq.
The region's countries are against the referendum
Iraq's neighbors, including Turkey and Iran, have adopted a strict stance against the referendum as they foresee the heavy costs of managing the potential risks of a possible independence in northern Iraq. In a statement he issued on the day the referendum was held, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan remarked that the border gate with Iraq is only open for Turkey-bound traffic, adding that some additional measures might be taken regarding the KRG's oil transfer. In addition, it is clearly seen that Turkey has taken some critical steps in terms of economic and diplomatic sanctions considering the increasing coordination between Tehran, Baghdad and Ankara. In addition, the Turkish military launched drills near the Habur border gate, which is an important passage point between Turkey and northern Iraq, demonstrating that high level security measures have been taken with regard to the issue.
Similarly, Iran also believes that the KRG referendum threatens the stability of the entire region as well as Iraq. Therefore, the country closed its airspace to Erbil and conducted drills near the northern Iraq border ahead of the referendum. Besides, Iran displayed a determination to engage in joint action with Ankara and Baghdad concerning the developments in the KRG by pursuing heavy telephone traffic with these capitals. It was also reported that Iranian General Qasem Soleimani wanted to visit northern Iraq in order to stir negative views regarding Barzani within political circles. This indicates that Iran has also activated its influence in the field against the referendum by adopting diplomatic, economic and military measures.
Iran is also concerned about the possibility that an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq, with ethnicity-based motives, might threaten Tehran's control over Iranian Kurds. The country presumes that with the effect of the KRG referendum, the Iranian Kurds might demand expansion of their rights even though they do not ask for independence. An ethnicity-based instability within Iran could threaten the domestic politics of Iran in general, since Iran is a country comprising multiple ethnic groups such as Kurds, Arabs, Turks, Baloch people and various other minorities.
Another possibility that concerns Iran is the division of Iraq into three parts in case Iraqi Sunnis also found an independent state following the declaration of a Kurdish state in northern Iraq. In such a case, the Sunni state can join the anti-Iran league since they have had problems with the Shia ever since the occupation, and this would threaten the corridor Tehran has recently formed that extends through Iraq to as far as Syria and Lebanon.
Iran also estimates that it might lose its current allies if an independent Kurdish state is formed since the country has profound ideological differences with allies of the KRG. When the Iranian administration hosted a delegation of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in Tehran in June, the PUK did not take up any stance against the referendum although the Iranian administration expressed its reservations over it. In addition, Kirkuk governor Najmiddin Karim, who is a PUK member, announced that Kirkuk would also take part in the independence vote. This development showed that Iran, which harshly stands against the referendum, could not alter the opinion of the PUK although the country is known for its close links to the political party.
All in all, given that the PUK has a secular and ethno-nationalist ideology and the public opinion acts as a determinant over the political actors in the KRG, the foundation of a Kurdish state under the leadership of Barzani would undermine Iran's influence in the KRG.
Finally, Barzani's amicable relations with the U.S. and Israel escalate Iran's security concerns. Iran fears that an independent Kurdish state might act as a base for the operations to change the regime in Iran and the KRG might turn into a factor threatening the country.
Due to the clear stance of the Ankara-Tehran-Baghdad triple against the referendum and the fact that other international actors are not supporting Erbil in the current state, it seems that the Erbil administration has taken steps backward in the short term. The fact that KRG officials also emphasize negotiations and positively welcome Ayatollah Sistani's call for "lowering the tensions and invitation for negotiations" could be interpreted as the willingness to communicate with Baghdad. Considering issues such as sovereignty in disputed areas, the extraction and sale of oil, the status of the Peshmerga within the Iraqi security forces – which are deeply rooted problems – these negotiations can turn into a means of time-gaining between Baghdad and Erbil. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that almost all actors in northern Iraq agree on independence and see it as their "right," so therefore it would be wrong to expect the Erbil administration to completely eliminate the independence process. For this reason, even if negotiations begin between the two parties, it can be concluded that in the long-term the quest for independence in northern Iraq will continue to remain as an element of tension in the region.

Samsung to close its last smartphone factory in China
In its heyday, Samsung's complex in Huizhou in the northern part of the Pearl River Delta was the South Korean company's largest Chinese factory, producing one in five smartphones sold in China in 2011.
Now, the small shops and suppliers that surround the vast complex – the focal point for the community for 27 years – have fallen silent. A notice posted on the gate, dated February 28, tells passersby that recruitment has been suspended.
"Actually, since February after the Chinese Lunar New Year, many – and a growing number – of residents of the [nearby] town of Chenjiang, from businesspeople, hawkers, workers, landlords, to security guards at nearby electronics factories have heard and spread the rumours that Samsung will shut down a large part of its production capacity in the coming months," says Zhong Ming, a local resident in his 40s who has witnessed the rise of the Samsung factory over the last three decades.
Huizhou Samsung Electronics is Samsung's last smartphone factory in China after the company closed its facility in Tianjin in December, having already ceased network equipment production earlier in 2018 at its factory in Shenzhen.
Workers in Huizhou talk of colleagues having already accepted voluntary redundancy, while other local residents, workers, and suppliers have almost taken it for granted that the factory will close.
"Streetlamps here were decorated with Samsung's eye-catching billboards. Now, they are all gone," says Steve Huang, an engineer who has worked at the plant for 17 years.
Huang is understandably concerned about his own job security, as he says the number of employees at the factory has dropped to about 4,000 from about 9,000 in 2013, when Samsung ranked No. 1 in China with 20% of the smartphone market.
Last year, its market share dropped to just 1% in the face of stiff competition from Chinese rivals like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo.
The factory was born on August 24, 1992, four days before the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, as the electronics giant signed a joint venture contract with the Huizhou city government.
A year later, the company with registered capital of US$32 million began operation, and since then has produced the company's latest and most popular consumer electronics, from stereos in the 1990s, MP3 players in the early 2000s, and smartphones since 2007.
In 2011, when Samsung's smartphone sales ranked No. 1 in the world, its two factories in Huizhou and Tianjin produced and exported 70.14 million and 55.64 million mobile phones, respectively.
"Last month, I heard that a few hundred workers got compensation of between about 10,000 (US$1,400) and over 100,000 yuan (US$14,400) [depending on years of service] and left Samsung," says a local landlord. "The rent for a single room has dropped from 500 (US$72) yuan to only 200 or 300 yuan but they are still vacant."
Samsung China declined to comment despite reports in both Chinese and South Korean media last week that the company was cutting production and laying off workers at the Huizhou factory amid slowing smartphone sales as it continues to shift production to lower-cost locations in Asia.
In the first quarter of 2019, exports of Samsung smartphones from Huizhou dropped 20.1% from the same period last year, according to Chinese customs data.

I do not recommend the insta-drunk approach. To find healthy and effective alternatives, I spoke to some poly-friendly experts, therapists, and everyday people who have first-hand experience with the risks and rewards of coming out. Here are some important things to think about when deciding how, when, where, and if you should come out to your family this holiday season.
The unfortunate reality is that not everyone is in a situation where it is safe to be out. Several factors can influence the kind of risks you may be facing, such as the political or religious affiliation of your family or community. Although you may already be bracing yourself for any number of reactions in the moment — surprise, shock, disbelief, or even anger — there may be long-term effects as well.
And remember, don't feel guilty or ashamed if you've carefully considered the risks and determined that now is not the right time for you to be out of the closet.
But Don't Forget The Benefits Of Coming Out Either!
Coming out may always feel risky to you on some level. You may be feeling uncomfortable and apprehensive, but if you don't anticipate any seriously catastrophic consequences, don't let your nervousness hold you back from enjoying the benefits of being out. You may find that you are giving yourself the gift of congruency: the person you are on the outside is the same as the person on the inside.
As you're weighing the pros and cons, you might find that picturing a coming out conversation may feel much more daunting with certain family members compared to others. Counselor and gender therapist Dara Hoffman-Fox recommends a methodical approach when deciding who gets to know.
If you're not yet ready for all of your family members to know, consider carefully who can and cannot be trusted to keep the news to themselves for the time being. Depending on how closely-knit your family is, word can spread fast, and some family members may learn your secret even if you haven't told them directly.
It's best to evaluate each family relationship individually and make a decision about timing that is unique to each connection. A general rule of thumb: avoid coming out on a day that is uniquely special to the person or people in question, such as their wedding, birthday, anniversary, bar mitzvah, etc. "I'm not out to my extended family because the only family event I've been to in the last year was a wedding ... and that seemed like a terrible time to start answering questions about non-monogamy," says Kenzie.
The looming prospect of having a coming out conversation may be making you feel nervous. It's important to remember that you are actually in a position of great power. Regardless of how your family reacts, you have the power to set the tone. That means keeping your cool before, during, and after the conversation.
The best way to be cool and collected beforehand is to give yourself plenty of practice. "Rehearse what you're going to say in advance," suggests James, 29. "Run through objections, questions, and possible reactions (or overreactions) in your head and have your responses ready before hand. Write them down if need be. Record what you want to say and listen to it. Have a mock conversation with a partner and have them raise questions and objections." Although there's no way to predict every possible outcome or what your family member may say in the midst of their shock, you'll feel much more confident heading into the conversation if you've gotten in a good trial run.
Doing your homework before the conversation can lay a great foundation for keeping calm during the conversation itself. If you've got your facts straight and you've said your piece, give the other person or people their space to have a reaction. There is nothing wrong with a person having particular feelings about your choices, but remember that you don't have to escalate the situation by raising your voice, trading insults, or encouraging any other emotional drama. Keep your own side of the street clean.
Then walk away from the conversation, and keep on pursuing that happiness.

Boxing (pugilism, prize fighting, the sweet science or in Greek pygmachia) is a martial art and combat sport in which two people engage in a contest of strength, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches with gloved hands. Amateur boxing is an Olympic and Commonwealth sport and is a common fixture in most of the major international games - it also has its own World Championships. Boxing is supervised by a referee over a series of one- to three-minute intervals called rounds. The result is decided when an opponent is deemed incapable to continue by a referee, is disqualified for breaking a rule, resigns by throwing in a towel, or is pronounced the winner or loser based on the judges' scorecards at the end of the contest. The birth hour of boxing as a sport may be its acceptance by the ancient Greeks as an Olympic game as early as 688 BC. Boxing evolved from 16th- and 18th-century prizefights, largely in Great Britain, to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid-19th century, again initially in Great Britain and later in the United States. In 2004, ESPN ranked boxing as the most difficult sport in the world.Records of Classical boxing activity disappeared after the fall of the Western Roman Empire when the wearing of weapons became common once again and interest in fighting with the fists waned. However, there are detailed records of various fist-fighting sports that were maintained in different cities and provinces of Italy between the 12th and 17th centuries. There was also a sport in ancient Rus called Kulachniy Boy or "Fist Fighting". As the wearing of swords became less common, there was renewed interest in fencing with the fists. The sport would later resurface in England during the early 16th century in the form of bare-knuckle boxing sometimes referred to as prizefighting. The first documented account of a bare-knuckle fight in England appeared in 1681 in the London Protestant Mercury, and the first English bare-knuckle champion was James Figg in 1719.[4] This is also the time when the word "boxing" first came to be used. It should be noted, that this earliest form of modern boxing was very different. Contests in Mr. Figg's time, in addition to fistfighting, also contained fencing and cudgel
ng. On 6 January 1681, the first recorded boxing match took place in Britain when Christopher Monck, 2nd Duke of Albemarle (and later Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica) engineered a bout between his butler and his butcher with the latter winning the prize. Early fighting had no written rules. There were no weight divisions or round limits, and no referee. In general, it was extremely chaotic. The first boxing rules, called the Broughton's rules, were introduced by champion Jack Broughton in 1743 to protect fighters in the ring where deaths sometimes occurred.[5] Under these rules, if a man went down and could not continue after a count of 30 seconds, the fight was over. Hitting a downed fighter and grasping below the waist were prohibited. Broughton also invented and encouraged the use of "mufflers", a form of padded gloves, which were used in training and exhibitions. The first paper on boxing was published in the early 1700s by a successful Cornish Wrestler from Bunnyip, Cornwall named Sir Thomas Parkyns who was a Physics student of Sir Isaac Newton & added it to his style and the paper was actually a single page in his extensive Wrestling & Fencing manual that entailed a system of headbutting, punching, eye gouging, chokes & hard throws not common in modern Boxing.[6] Tom Cribb vs Tom Molineaux in a re-match for the heavyweight championship of England, 1811 These rules did allow the fighters an advantage not enjoyed by today's boxers; they permitted the fighter to drop to one knee to begin a 30-second count at any time. Thus a fighter realizing he was in trouble had an opportunity to recover. However, this was considered "unmanly"[7] and was frequently disallowed by additional rules negotiated by the Seconds of the Boxers.[8] Intentionally going down in modern boxing will cause the recovering fighter to lose points in the scoring system. Furthermore, as the contestants did not have heavy leather gloves and wristwraps to protect their hands, they used different punching technique to preserve their hands because the head was a common target to hit full out as almost all period manuals have powerful straight punches with the whole body behind them to the face (including forehead) as the basic blows.
