Accessibility on campus
BY MADDIE LEUBKE
CAMPUS EDITOR
In the past 10 years, Alma has renovated many campus buildings in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and plans to update more of the larger campus buildings, despite student concerns about the current state of smaller living facilities.
ADA requires buildings built or updated following 1985 —the year that ADA went into effect — to adhere to certain accessibility standards, such as the inclusion of ramps and ensuring hallways and doors are a certain width.
According to Head of Facilities Doug Dice, updating buildings to meet ADA standards is a long and challenging process, and usually requires major changes to the building design. "Many students don't realize how long it takes to make these sorts of upgrades. The plans for North Campus dorm renovations have been in place for over a year, and it takes a long time before plans get approval and funding is in place."
Accessibility complaints from students included the removal of a handicap ramp from the Theta Chi fraternity house over the summer, which according to Dice was removed due to its unsafe condition. "I'm not upset about it being taken away, but there was no communication and no planning to replace it," said John Stefanek ('19). "We just want a permanent solution. Our organization has alumni that are handicapped, and when they come back for homecoming the ramp makes their experience back in Alma better."
Accessible South Campus housing proves rare with only three of six fraternities and one of six sororities with ramps. Themed housing has a similar number of accessible buildings.
"We would like to make all of the small housing spaces comply with ADA, but many of those upgrades would require major construction. The college has to prioritize public spaces and dorm buildings that contain more people," said Dice.
Though some living spaces lack accessibility, Dice pointed out the advancements made thus far. "We have made upgrades to a majority of buildings on campus since I began working at Alma, including the Swanson Academic Center and Eddy Music Building."
However, some students feel like the changes already made to those buildings still could use some improvements, like adding more handicap buttons to doors.
"It is really frustrating because it makes me not want to use my mobility device as often," said Chapin Kartsounes ('21). "It quickly becomes more work to use my device than to walk. I don't think handicap buttons are that hard to install, and it makes riding on my scooter so much easier."
Although the plans are in beginning stages, an upcoming project is focused on making the Chapel more handicap friendly, with planned upgrades like moveable seating, an elevator, wider hallways and a more permanent ramp.
Houses that would like to have a ramp available for guests during events on campus can request temporary ramps through Alma College Facilities.

A kondomari mészárlás a Kréta északi partján, Plataniász községben, Haniától nagyjából 18 km-re nyugatra és a malemei repülőtértől 3 km-re délkeletre, Kondomarí (görögül: Κοντομαρί) település mellett elkövetett, később háborús bűntettként értékelt tömeggyilkosság volt a második világháborúban. A szigetet megszálló német csapatok a görög civil lakosságot gyilkolták le 1941. június 2-án.

A háborús bűncselekmény a német ejtőernyősök 1941. május 20-án kezdődő – a görög és brit erőktől védett – Kréta megszállásának Merkúr hadművelet következtében történt. A német egységek ekkor Kurt Student vezérezredes parancsnoksága alatt álltak. A németek a földet éréskor heves ellenállásba ütköztek, amiben helyi civilek és partizánok is részt vettek, akik az 1. Luftlande-Sturm-Regiment (földre szálló rohamezred) III. zászlóaljának ejtőernyősei közül többeket lelőttek, de a csata alatt összességében is komoly veszteségeket okoztak a Wehrmachtnak. A helyi lakosság addig nem tapasztalt ellenállása ellent mondott az 1907-es hágai egyezmény azon passzusának, mely szerint csak hivatásos katonák vehetnek részt a harcokban. A németek szerint ezeknél az eseteknél a krétaiak különleges kegyetlenséggel jártak el, egyes jelentések szerint késekkel, baltákkal, kaszákkal támadtak az ejtőernyősökre, de olyan hírek is terjengtek, melyek szerint a rendkívül magas veszteségeket a helyiek kínzásai és csonkításai okozták. Miután ezek a hírek eljutottak a Luftwaffe berlini főparancsnokságára, Göring megparancsolta Studentnek, hogy rendeljen el vizsgálatot és megtorlást. Ez végül Student vezérezredes május 31-én kihirdetett, megtorló intézkedéseiről szóló parancsában öltött testet, amit még a vizsgálatok lezárása előtt adott ki, és amiben az áll, hogy az érvényes háborús jogot és az idevonatkozó bíróságokat figyelmen kívül kell hagyni, de szó esik benne helységek felégetéséről, agyonlövésekről és "kiirtásról" is. Ennek következtében több helyen tömeges kivégzésekre került sor.

Így lettek a környéken talált néhány halott német ejtőernyős miatt Kondomari férfi lakosai is gyilkossággal megvádolva. 1941. június 2-án, a sziget elfoglalásának másnapján az 1. Luftlande-Sturm-Regiment III. zászlóaljának négy teherautónyi katonája Horst Trebes főhadnagy parancsnoksága alatt körbevette Kondomarit. Trebes volt a zászlóalj legmagasabb rangú tisztje, aki sérülés nélkül úszta meg a csatát. A lakosokat összeterelték a falu főterére, majd a férfiak közül túszokat szedtek, a nőket és gyermekeket elengedték. A kiválasztott férfiakat egy olajfaligetbe vezették, ahol Trebes főhadnagy parancsára nem sokkal később lelőtték őket. Az áldozatok pontos száma máig nem teljesen tisztázott: német feljegyzések és a helyi emléktábla 23 nevet tüntetnek fel, de egyes források 60 főt is említenek. Magát Kondomarit lerombolták.

A polgári lakosság agyonlövését Franz-Peter Weixler fényképész örökítette meg a Wehrmacht propagandaszázadának megbízásából, aki 1945 novemberében a háborús bűnösök nürnbergi bíróságának egy írásos szemtanúi jelentést adott át a kivégzésekről. Weixlert a fotók továbbadása miatt a Gestapo letartóztatta, és másfél évig fogva tartotta. A képek negatívjait 39 évvel később fedezte fel a német szövetségi archívumban egy görög újságíró.

Studentet később háborús bűncselekmények vádjával öt év fegyházra ítélték, de egy fellebbező tárgyalás után 1948-ban szabadon engedték. Trebes 1944. július végén a normandiai harcokban elesett.

A második világháború után Kondomarit újjáépítették, napjainkban kisebb nyaralóhelyként működik.

This morning Kyle and Jackie O caught up with singing sensation, Pink - one of their favourites.
She was such a laugh, telling us about how her 'six-year-old teenager' is just like her - and how her mum wished she would have a daughter just like her, and she did.
She then told the guys about her new music, and how this is the first time she's 'really cared' about the music she released.
'Didn't you care before?' Jackie asked? 'Hell no! Not really…' she exclaimed.

Lo stabilimento Boeing di Everett è una struttura dedicata all'assemblaggio di aeromobili situata a Everett, nello stato di Washington, di proprietà della Boeing Company. All'interno dello stabilimento industriale, situato nell'angolo nord-orientale dell'aeroporto Paine Field, è presente il più grande edificio industriale del mondo, avente un volume occupato di 13.385.378 m3 e una superficie coperta di 399.480 m2. La Boeing utilizza questo stabile per l'assemblaggio dei suoi aerei a fusoliera larga modello 747, 767, 777 e 787.

Storia

I piani di costruzione dello stabilimento, in origine dedicato alla costruzione dei Boeing 747, furono annunciati per la prima volta nel 1966 dalla Boeing, dopo che questa aveva ottenuto una commessa da parte della Pan American World Airways per la consegna di 25 aerei 747, per un totale di 525 milioni di dollari.  L'azienda, la cui presenza a Everett risaliva al 1943, acquistò quindi 780 acri a nord dell'allora poco sviluppato aeroporto Paine Field, che aveva visto il maggior utilizzo nella seconda guerra mondiale ad opera dell'esercito statunitense.

Due anni dopo, nel 1968 la Boeing iniziò ad organizzare dei tour guidati per visitare la fabbrica dove veniva costruito quello che allora era l'aereo più grande del mondo: il Boeing 747. Nel 2007, poco prima di celebrare il quarantesimo anniversario dell'iniziativa, il sito produttivo di Everett festeggiò il tremilionesimo visitatore, con un numero di visitatori annuali che superava i 110.000, mentre nel 2017 sono arrivati a superare i 150.000.

Oggi la fabbrica, in cui lavorano più di 30.000 persone, ospita anche una filiale della BECU, la banca di credito cooperativo originariamente riservata ai soli dipendenti della Boeing, diversi punti di ristoro, una caserma dei vigili del fuoco ed una del servizio sicurezza e perfino un centro fitness.

Dall'altra parte dell'aeroporto, sul suo lato ovest, sono inoltre presenti il The Boeing Store, un teatro e il Future of Flight Aviation Center, un museo dell'aviazione da cui, tra l'altro, parte il tour della fabbrica.

Aeromobili in produzione

Boeing 747

Il Boeing 747, la cui produzione è iniziata nel 1967, è un aereo a fusoliera larga (in inglese: wide body) quadrigetto, disponibile in versione passeggeri e da trasporto merci, più altre personalizzate. La versione 747-8I, ossia la versione per il trasporto passeggeri attualmente in produzione, presentata al pubblico il 14 febbraio 2011 e capace di trasportare, in una tipica configurazione a tre classi, 467 passeggeri, ha un'autonomia di 15.000 km ad una velocità di crociera di 920 km/h. Il 747 è stato uno dei primi aeromobili di questo tipo ad essere realizzati e il primo ad usare la configurazione a doppio ponte per il trasporto passeggeri.

Lo stabilimento di Everett è stato costruito appositamente per ospitare l'assemblaggio di questo enorme aeroplano, lungo 70,66 m e con un'apertura alare di 64,44 m, poiché ciò non era effettuabile nello stabilimento Boeing di Seattle.

Le ultime versioni di 747 prodotte sono state:
747-8I - Variante Intercontinental (passeggeri);
747-8F - Variante Freighter (cargo).

Boeing 767

Il Boeing 767, la cui produzione è iniziata nel 1979, è un aereo bimotore a getto, con configurazione a fusoliera larga ed ala bassa. Le attuali versioni passeggeri in produzione sono la 767-300ER e la 767-400ER, quest'ultima risultante dall'allungamento della fusoliera della prima. In una tipica configurazione a tre classi, il 767-300ER può trasportare fino a 218 passeggeri ed ha un'autonomia di 11.090 km ad una velocità di crociera di 850 km/h, mentre il 767-400ER può trasportare 245 passeggeri, con un'autonomia di 10.480 km alla stessa velocità di crociera del 760-300ER.

Le versioni di 767 attualmente in produzione sono:
767-300ER - Variante a lunga percorrenza;
767-400ER - Variante lunga del 767-300ER;
767-300F - Variante cargo;
KC-46 Pegasus - Aereo militare per il rifornimento in volo e trasporto strategico.

Boeing 777

Il Boeing 777, la cui produzione è iniziata nel 1993, è un aereo a fusoliera larga dotato di due motori a turboventola ed è il più grande bimotore del mondo. Le attuali versioni passeggeri in produzione sono la 777-300ER e la 777-200LR. In una tipica configurazione a tre classi, il 777-300ER può trasportare, fino a 386 passeggeri ed ha un'autonomia di 14.500 km ad una velocità di crociera di 890 km/h, mentre il 777-200LR può trasportare 301 passeggeri con un'autonomia di 17.500 km, il che lo rende il jet commerciale con l'autonomia più ampia del mondo, ad una velocità di crociera di 890 km/h.

Le versioni di 777 attualmente in produzione sono:
777-200LR - Variante a lunghissima percorrenza;
777-300ER - Variante a lunga percorrenza;
777F - Variante cargo.

Boeing 787

Il Boeing 787 Dreamliner, la cui produzione è iniziata nel 2006, è un aeroplano bimotore turboventola a fusoliera larga, utilizzato per voli a medio e lungo raggio. Le varianti per il trasporto passeggeri attualmente in produzione possono portare, in una tipica configurazione a due classi, da 242 a 290 passeggeri, con un'autonomia che va da 13.620 a 14.140 km ad una velocità di crociera di 900 km/h

Nel luglio 2014, la Boeing ha annunciato che la versione 787-10, la più lunga di quelle prodotte, sarebbe stata assemblata esclusivamente nello stabilimento di North Charleston, nella Carolina del Sud, poiché i pezzi della fusoliera di questo aeromobile era troppo lunghi per essere trasportati con il Boeing Dreamlifter fin nello stabilimento di Everett.

Le versioni di 787 attualmente in produzione nello stabilimento di Everett sono:
787-8
787-9

Aeroporto
Una volta prodotti, gli aerei sono consegnati facendoli partire dall'aeroporto Paine Field, ossia l'aeroporto della Contea di Snohomish, adiacente allo stabilimento.

Curiosità
Dal 2006 sulla facciata sud dell'edificio principale dello stabilimento campeggia quello che è il murale più grande del mondo, il quale decora le sei porte dell'edificio, ognuna delle quali ha un'altezza di 25 m ed una larghezza compresa tra 91 e 107 m, ed ha una superficie complessiva di circa 10.000 m2.

Real railways do it and so should you. Whether you are building a real railway or a scale model version of the prototype, planning your track work is the most important step in having a system that operates smoothly. Please read through this article entirely before beginning to install your track.
1. Try to incorporate the largest minimum radius possible for your main line.
3. If you are using a CAD system to create your layout drawings, you will need to transfer them to full size plans directly onto the tabletop or newsprint. This step is a relatively straightforward job. First transfer the grid lines from the CAD scale plan to the tabletop or newsprint. Then draw the centerline of your trackwork on the large grid, replicating its locations on the scale drawing. Use a pencil first, and then go over the lines later with a marker when you're satisfied that your drawing is accurate.
5. When your sub-roadbed is in place, make sure that it is supported strongly and has no sharp dips or sudden changes in grade; grades should have smooth transitions to the level sections of roadbed that they are connected to around the layout. Otherwise you'll end up with vertical kinks in your rails. You can bet that any minor flaws now will become major headaches later.
6. If you are building a branchline railway with low profile track, you may plan to use Homasote as your roadbed. In that case, use the same templates that you used for the sub-roadbed. An alternative is to lay each piece of sub-roadbed on top of the Homasote, and trace the lines directly onto it. Then cut the Homasote with a jig saw and laminate it to the plywood using carpenter's glue, clamps and wood screws. The wood screws can be removed after the glue has dried thoroughly, about 24 hours to be sure. NOTE: Cut the Homasote and sand off the edges outside to minimize dust. Before laying cork roadbed and track, apply a layer or two of household latex paint to the Homasote in order to seal it. Use a tan or green paint to give your railway some colour at the track-laying stage.
7. If you are building a main line railway with typically high profile track, you will probably wish to use cork as your roadbed. Draw the centre line of your railway first, and then glue one half of the cork down along that centre line. You can use long sewing pins to hold the cork in place while the glue dries. Later, it is easy to glue the other side of the cork right next to the cork that is already glued in place.
NOTE: See the photos of branch line and main line railways at the end of this article.
Before installing flex-track, use your Dremel rotary tool to drill holes in the ties outside the rails, about every tenth tie. These holes are used for inserting rail spikes when laying your track. Use a # 66 drill bit (or smaller, depending on the size of your rail spikes). It is important not to spike between the rails in order to keep the tracks in gauge and to maintain good appearance. After installing rail joiners, be sure to give them a little squeeze with mini pliers to secure them in place. Do not solder the rail joiners, especially to turnouts. Use rail joiners primarily to align the rails. Track feeders will be used later to supply current to the rails.
When laying the track onto the roadbed, you can use a drop of white glue or carpenters glue to help hold the track in place while you spike it. Place a drop on every tenth tie, or run a light bead down the middle of the underside of the ties. Here again you can use sewing pins to hold the track in place, especially on curves, while the glue sets and you are installing the spikes. Peco Track fixing pins work nicely if installing track on Homasote or foam sub-roadbed.
NOTE: If you are modelling a mainline track, you may wish to super-elevate the curves. If so, first install the spikes on the inside of a curve. Then slip some styrene strips under the ties on outside of the curve. Use 0.020" styrene strips at the beginning of the curve, then 0.040" in the middle of the curve so that the super-elevation is gradual. You can also glue the styrene strips in place on the outside of the curve before installing the track. Watching your train turn into that banked curve for the first time will be a thrill!
During (or after) trackwork installation, solder track feeders to all of your track pieces. The track feeders are used to connect the rails to the track power bus wires that will run under the layout. Drill small holes just outside the rails on both sides of the track and in between the ties. After stripping back about ¼" of the insulation, drop a track feeder wire (22-gauge wire for HO scale track) down through the hole. Make a small bend in the wire and solder it to the outside of the rail. Do the same on the opposite rail using a different colour of wire. If using stranded wire, be sure to "tin" it first before bending and soldering it in position. Stranded wire is less likely to snap inside its insulation where you can't see it. Before continuing with more trackwork, it's a good idea to test each feeder wire using an electrical circuit tester or multimeter.
Use identical colours for the feeder and bus wires to help keep them organized and to avoid electrical shorts. If you use black and white household electrical wire for your bus wires, then use black and white 22-gauge wire for your track feeders. Solder your track feeder wires to practically every piece of track on the layout. Remember, we aren't relying on soldered rail joiners to carry the current to the rails, so we need those feeders everywhere.
Before installing any of your turnouts, consider taking the time to install jumper wires from the stock rails to the closure rails. On each turnout, the two closure rails run from the point hinges to the frog. Installing these small jumper wires will ensure electrical power reaches the closure rails without relying on the hinges to carry the current from the contact point where the points meet the stock rails. Be sure to solder these jumpers from the outside of the stock rail to the outside of the closure rail so that they do not interfere with wheel flanges of locomotives and rolling stock. In order to run these jumpers under the rails, you may have to cut off some of the hidden plastic tie webbing to make room for the wire and to allow the turnout to sit flat on the roadbed. If you have several turnouts to install, it is easier to set up a small assembly line and install jumper wires to several at a time in one sitting. Henry Ford did something similar for automobiles!
To improve the appearance of your track, spray the sides of the rails with an airbrush using water-based acrylic paint, such as Poly Scale "Roof Brown" or "Grimy Black". First run a patina of vegetable oil along the top of the rails using your finger. Paint small sections at a time, and then clean your airbrush. Acrylic paints dry very quickly and will clog the airbrush if it is not cleaned frequently. Let the airbrush parts soak while you are cleaning the tops of the rails with some paper towel. Clean the tops of the rails as soon as possible after applying the paint. This step should be easy if you applied the oil. Blue window cleaner and paper towels are excellent for this purpose. Alternatively, you can use the Tidy Track "Track Painters" from Woodland Scenics to colour the sides of the rails. No fuss, no mess, and a choice of three colours to make your scale rails look like the real thing.
When painting turnouts, place small pieces of styrene strips or masking tape in between the switch points and the outside rails. This practice keeps the paint off the contact points. Even so, it's usually necessary to run some emery cloth along the switch points to ensure clean contact surfaces.
When your trackwork is complete, and you are satisfied that no problem areas exist, you can begin installing some scenery to give your railway its context and enjoy running your trains. After the first layer of your scenery is complete in any given section of your layout, the last step in trackwork installation is applying the ballast.
Some modelers prefer to ballast their track before finishing the scenery. However, if you add ground foam and other scenic materials after the ballast is in place, the foam tends to float onto the track and onto the ballast along the edges. On the other hand, if the colored ground texture is fixed in place right up to trackside before the ballast has been installed, the ballasted roadbed will look good and give the appearance that the railway was constructed after Mother Nature built her terrain. Afterwards, you can add some weeds and debris between the rails on spur tracks and lightly used branch lines.
Ballasting track is a straightforward job, but it does take some patience. In the beginning, try ballasting a few feet of track at a time. Using a container, pour ballast between the rails, using less ballast than you think you need. Use your finger or a small, stiff brush to smooth the ballast so that it is just about level with the ties. Then pour a little ballast along the outside of the rails and use your brush to smooth it out and tidy up along the edge of the roadbed.
For spur tracks and worn down branchlines, you may wish to have the ballast cover some of the ties with a thin layer of ballast. If you pour the ballast too deep, your trains may have a bumpy ride as wheel flanges strike the ballast.
Take care to avoid using excess ballast around turnouts. Be sure to clean grains of ballast out of flangeways, frogs and other potential trouble spots before applying the wetting agent and glue mixture. A miniature vacuum attachment is handy for this task. You can also apply a small strip of masking tape over the turnout points to keep the ballast out of the mechanism. Before applying ballast cement to turnouts, pour a small amount of light oil to the throw bar and point hinges. The oil will repel the glue mixture.
After applying the wetting agent, glue the ballast in place using a 50-50 mixture of wet water and white glue. For this purpose, you have two choices: A squeezable glue bottle with a pointed nozzle (like a small LePages glue bottle) can be dedicated for this purpose. Having a bottle of this mixture on hand is useful for gluing other scenic materials in place as well. As an alternative, another eyedropper can be used to do a very neat application of this adhesive, again giving you more control especially around turnouts. Be sure to clean the eyedropper frequently to avoid clogging. Apply the glue down the middle of the track and along the sides. If you think you've used too much glue, you've probably used just enough to ensure that all of the ballast has been glued properly.
Draw off excess liquid around the turnouts and dry the switch points using a small piece of paper towel while the glue is still wet. You can also dry the tops of the rails using a small pad of paper towel, being careful to avoid disturbing the ballast. Periodically test the turnouts as the ballast is drying to ensure that they are working properly.
After 24 hours, the glue mixture will be thoroughly dry. At that time, vacuum the track to remove any loose ballast and to determine if any areas need to be redone. In areas that were not glued properly, you'll see the ballast sucked right out from between the rails, leaving an unsightly gap. Simply add a little ballast and glue again as above.
If after a period of time you need to remove, repair or replace some ballasted track or a turnout, the process is straightforward. Mist the ballast liberally with wet water. Wait ten minutes. Gently pry the track up using a flat 2" scraper. Use the scraper to remove all of the remaining ballast from the roadbed. Vacuum the area after it has dried to remove any leftover bits. Then sand the roadbed so that it is ready for the installation of new track.
Careful planning and construction of your trackwork will ensure satisfactory operation of your trains in the years ahead. Weathering and ballasting your trackwork will bring your railroad one step closer to looking like the prototype.
Which one is main line and which are secondary tracks?

Ask any PPC professional the secret of their success, and they'll often point to tools that help them do their jobs better. Columnist Pauline Jakober recaps a session at SMX East where the best of these tools were discussed.
Ask any PPC manager how they do their job well, and, aside from their skill set, they'll name the tools that give them the data they need and the time in their day to drive strategy.
In this session from SMX East 2016: "Updating Your SEM Toolbox with New, Shiny Tools," Moderator Matt Van Wagner of Find Me Faster was joined by speakers Brad Geddes (@bgTheory) of AdAlysis, Daniel Gilbert (@dangilbertppc) of Brainlabs and Sahil Jain (@sahilio) of AdStage to share what SEM tools they rely on, and what shiny new tools they are most excited about.
First up was Brad Geddes with the secrets of PPC productivity, and he contends that time management is the key to good PPC management. There are so many tools out there, he says, and success is often determined not by what you use but when you use them.
Geddes believes that collaboration tools should be considered PPC tools — this includes things like Basecamp, Google Docs and more, because PPC managers have difficulty finding the time to fully give their attention to doing the important work of building campaigns.
Productivity is a challenge because we get interrupted often. He shares a post from Trello on finding productive hours in the day. PPC professionals have to be both managers and makers. So it's important to find a schedule that works to your advantage.

This info-packed session gave us all some more ideas on how to use tools to help us be more productive and successful in our paid search. I hope you get as much out of the recap as we all did in the session here at SMX East 2016.


Let us not keep our eyes fixed, gazing on the so many crosses erected around us. They are real, cruel, destructive, demeaning... In the country where I live for more than twelve years, these crosses are called misery, exploitation, exclusion, drugs, violence and murders, corruption... They destroy people, families and the society. Universally speaking, they have names such wars, exclusions, betrayals, illnesses and sufferings, jealousy, closure of heart, lack of simplicity, greed for power, and lack of compassion... Personally speaking, they too are my mistakes, my misjudgments, my faults and my sins that often God alone knows.
Raise the signs of life and of resurrection!

Formulation of multiparticulate systems as lyophilised orally disintegrating tablets
Farhan Alhusban, Yvonne Perrie, Afzal R. Mohammed
The current study aimed to exploit the electrostatic associative interaction between carrageenan and gelatin to optimise a formulation of lyophilised orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) suitable for multiparticulate delivery. A central composite face centred (CCF) design was applied to study the influence of formulation variables (gelatin, carrageenan and alanine concentrations) on the crucial responses of the formulation (disintegration time, hardness, viscosity and pH). The disintegration time and viscosity were controlled by the associative interaction between gelatin and carrageenan upon hydration which forms a strong complex that increases the viscosity of the stock solution and forms tablet with higher resistant to disintegration in aqueous medium. Therefore, the levels of carrageenan, gelatin and their interaction in the formulation were the significant factors. In terms of hardness, increasing gelatin and alanine concentration was the most effective way to improve tablet hardness. Accordingly, optimum concentrations of these excipients were needed to find the best balance that fulfilled all formulation requirements. The revised model showed high degree of predictability and optimisation reliability and therefore was successful in developing an ODT formulation with optimised properties that were able deliver enteric coated multiparticulates of omeprazole without compromising their functionality.

Nov. 18, 2017 1:30 p.m.
Ride-hailing pioneer Lyft has made its first move outside the U.S. with service in Toronto, and it approaches B.C. with an effort to cool the political battle over the taxi monopoly that has carried on past the spring election.
The NDP minority government has backed away from its election promise to introduce ride-hailing service by the end of 2017, prompting opposition MLAs to label Transportation Minister Claire Trevena the "minister of taxis" for stalling an update of B.C.'s regulations.
Uber has made most of the headlines in Metro Vancouver, signing up drivers and sparking accusations it wants to set prices below Passenger Transportation Board rates for the last big city in North America without ride-hailing services. Vancouver-based Flok and other startups are working around what amounts to a taxi monopoly with many complaints of poor service.
Chelsea Wilson, Lyft senior policy communications manager, visited Victoria last week. In an interview with Black Press, she stressed the company's strategy to extend the options available to city dwellers.
While big cities can have a variety of traditional and smartphone-based options, Lyft has moved on since it started in 2012 to include smaller communities.
Like other services, Lyft is emphasizing its safety measures, including background checks for drivers and GPS tracking of cars so people can track the movements of friends and relatives using the service.

'Balance of power' a strategic trap for India
By Ding Gang Source:Global Times Published: 2019/9/11 18:53:41
Photo: IC
While scholars in the US and India generally believe that a full alliance between the two sides is unlikely, the two countries can still reach a general consensus on balancing the rise of China, since it is in their common interest.
In an article titled "The India Dividend: New Delhi Remains Washington's Best Hope in Asia," which was published in the September/October edition of Foreign Affairs magazine, authors Robert D. Blackwill, a Henry A. Kissinger senior fellow for US foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Ashley J. Tellis, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, noted that for the US-Indian partnership to bear fruit, both sides must recognize that their primary shared interest is to balance a rising China - and not expect a close alliance or alignment on all major policy issues.
The Indian government hasn't explicitly announced it was adopting such a strategy to balance the rise of China, but there are indications that India and the US are moving forward on this path.
The balance of power theory in international relations suggests that if a country wants to prevent itself from being dominated by others, it must have the power or a reliable system to counterbalance others. The theory emphasizes vigilance and containment between different countries.
In reality, balance of power is usually utilized by a certain powerful country to make coalitions or military alliances to counter its rivals - the balance of power during the Cold War is a classical example. Additionally, such a balance is likely to develop into hostility.
Amid the rise of China in recent years, some Americans have brought up again the balance of power theory. Washington's strategic choice on China has also turned from balancing to containing China. The US Indo-Pacific Strategy is sure to continue this mentality.
There is something in common between the Indo-Pacific Strategy and India's concerns about China's rise.
China and India have had disputes in the past and still have border issues to settle. Additionally, China has maintained a close relationship with Pakistan, India's traditional rival.
New Delhi wishes to safeguard its interests in a relatively balanced regional situation through a balance of power with Beijing. This is understandable.
However, the balance of power which India hopes for is different from that upheld by the US. The US' so-called balance of power is aimed at keeping its dominance in the Asia-Pacific region and containing China.
After World War II, some Asia-Pacific countries have indeed enjoyed relative stability under the US-dominated order. But the structure of the region is changing. The rise of China is only a part of the changes. India and Southeast Asian countries are also rising, and they are accelerating the process.
Another major change is constantly upgrading regional cooperation. New Delhi is strengthening its cooperation with its neighbors, and it has thus developed the Look East policy. China's cooperation with neighboring countries, including India, has also seen unprecedented strengthening. Amid such changes, there is no foundation for the outdated balance of power theory. No force is able to stop the Chinese economy from developing. China's rising strength will certainly change the structure of the Asia-Pacific region, and cannot be balanced by either outside forces or military powers. Regional countries need to build a new order.
Balancing China will jeopardize India's own interests. Since China's development is unstoppable and is in line with the general development of the region, carrying out containment against China is highly likely to lead to the loss of opportunities for cooperation with China.
India should think this through. It is impossible for regional countries to jointly contain China's rise with the US while strengthening cooperation with China at the same time. Such a strategy might work at the very beginning, but at critical moments, relevant parties will have to make a choice.
The strategy of the balance of power is generated from the diplomacy of Western countries. It reflects Western countries' understanding of foreign relations in the process of their expansion in the past. In today's globalized world, Asian countries are supposed to have better choices. This is a test for not only for India, but also China. Both need work together to walk out of this strategic trap.

Miss You is Kate Eberlen's absolutely wonderful debut novel.
I loved the cover as it reminded me of a patchwork quilt. And then I looked a little closer at the pictures in the letters. It is two people who always seem to be headed in a different direction, never quite meeting. And that is the premise of Miss You.
Miss You opens in 1997 when both Tree (short for Teresa) and Gus are on holiday in Italy. They both happen to visit a church at the same time, exchange a few words and then go on with their lives.
Eberlen has created rich, full lives for both Tree and Gus. But not perfect - their lives are also filled with loss, grief, anger along with the happy moments. Miss You is told in alternating chapters, in the same time frame, from the two as the years progress. And unusually for me, I didn't have a favourite - I liked them both the same. I became so caught up in each of their lives and kept reading 'just one more chapter' to see what might happen next.
What happened next, but also where. For you see, in every new time period, there's a moment when their paths cross. Not directly at first, but in passing, without recognizing that they've already met.
"We think we choose our friends, but perhaps it's only just a matter of chance."
"Do you believe in the one? As in, there's one person out there who's destined for you?"
With every new entry and years passing, I found myself hoping for that 'star-crossed lovers' moment that their paths would cross. Do they? Will things come full circle? I'm not saying - you'll have to read Miss You to find out.
I adored this book - it's warm, witty, heartwarming and real - with a touch of just maybe.......I'm looking forward to what Kate Eberlen writes next!
5.0 out of 5 starsTop Holiday Read!
Such an enjoyable read! Wonderful descriptions that had my mind walking back through London and Florence. Funny, sad, truthful and love in all its ways. Top holiday read.
A book that keeps you right on your toes, absolutely to the very end. I highly recommend it to everyone.
3.0 out of 5 starsI felt that there could have been more commonalities to make this relationship feel more believable.
Both Tess and Guss live very contrasting lifestyles that take them in different directions, including exhausting and unhappy relationships and their subsequent emotional rollercoasters. The threads of their lives imperceptibly intercept along those journeys but never seem to truly connect. Both feel unfulfilled as they put the needs of others ahead of their own, including Tess's devotion to her much younger sister who has Asperger Syndrome.
Did I like this story. Hard to say. Despite a whopping 433 pages of text, I found it hard to really determine what Tess and Guss really wanted out of life. After struggling through numerous painful relationships, I found that story simply ran out of steam and the ending felt rushed and contrived. Not a fan of "insta-love" stories, I felt that there could have been more commonalities to make this relationship feel more believable.

COMMONWEALTH vs. PAUL R. TISSERAND.
INDICTMENT found and returned in the Superior Court on April 15, 1975.
Dyanne Klein Polatin for the defendant.
Peter W. Agnes, Jr., Assistant District Attorney (James W. Sahakian, Special Assistant District Attorney, with him) for the Commonwealth.
KEVILLE, J. The defendant appeals under G. L. c. 278, Sections 33A-33G, from a conviction of armed robbery after a jury trial. The defendant assigns as error the denial of his motion to suppress physical evidence and oral statements made by him. The evidence presented at the hearing on the motion to suppress may be summarized as follows.
At approximately 6:00 P.M. on December 27, 1974, a Cambridge bookstore was robbed by a man armed with a silver-colored gun, wearing a white glove on his right hand and an olive-colored parka. The robber entered the bookstore, ordered the manager to empty the contents of the cash register into a bag, and forced the sole customer to surrender his money. The robber then escaped. Later the same evening a Boston police officer arrested the defendant on Dartmouth Street in Boston along with a female companion who had been driving a car in which the defendant was a passenger. The police had been observing the car while it was traveling through an area characterized as a "high crime" and high-drug traffic area. It had stopped first in front of an establishment known to the police as a resort for drug sellers and users. The driver beckoned to two men standing in front of a lounge who approached the car but retreated when they saw the police cruiser. The car then went around the block and double parked in front of an apartment building. The driver got out and entered the building. She emerged several minutes later. The car proceeded to Dartmouth Street and double parked again.
car. As he did, he noticed that the passenger in the front seat, the defendant, was "slouched down" with his right hand between his legs about a foot from the car floor. He also recognized the driver as "a girl being in and out of the courts down in Boston." He asked her for her license and registration. She took the license from a brown shoulder bag and the registration from the glove compartment of the car which was not registered in her name. A check revealed that there were two outstanding warrants for the driver. She was arrested. When questioned about the brown shoulder bag, she denied owning it. The contents of the bag included identification cards, checks and check-books belonging to different persons. The officer then questioned the defendant and ran a warrant check on him. After receiving information that there was a warrant outstanding against him for a parole violation, the officer arrested him, patted him down, handcuffed him and placed him in the cruiser.
radio at the scene of the arrest was erroneous, and that the warrant for the defendant's arrest had in fact been rescinded.
Prior to his trial in the Superior Court for the bookstore robbery, the defendant moved to suppress the physical evidence seized from the car in which he was a passenger, evidence taken from his person and any statements obtained from him. After a hearing, the judge denied the motion. The defendant excepted to the judge's refusal to suppress this evidence and has appealed from both of these rulings.
1. The denial of the motion to suppress the physical evidence seized from the automobile in which the defendant was a passenger was proper. The defendant contends that the search of the automobile was invalid having been conducted without a valid warrant and not being covered by any recognized exception to the warrant requirement. But the judge found that the police had acted reasonably in having the vehicle towed because it was double parked and was obstructing traffic in a congested area of the city at a busy time of day. He further found that the search was conducted pursuant to routine police procedure followed in Boston which required that police officers make an inventory search of a car before permitting it to be towed in order to secure any items of value that might be in the vehicle. The defendant claims that the search cannot be justified as a routine inventory search because the officer who searched the car admitted that among the reasons for the search of the vehicle was his suspicion that he would find evidence of a crime.
criminal activity might be uncovered as a result of the search should not vitiate his obligation to conduct the inventory. We agree with the finding and ruling of the judge that the search was reasonable and that the items seized as a result of the search were properly admitted.
2. The denial of the motion to suppress the defendant's oral statements was proper. As we have already related in part, as a result of information received from the Boston police, two Cambridge detectives visited the defendant in his cell at a Boston police station. After reading the Miranda warnings to the defendant, one of the detectives showed him the items found under the seat of the car (the loaded revolver, the bookstore bag and a yellow skihat) and asked him if he wanted to talk about the robbery. The defendant said that he understood his rights and that he had committed the robbery alone. Although the detective noticed that the defendant appeared to be under the influence of a drug, he found him to be coherent in both speech and general behavior. In denying the motion to suppress, the court found that the statements made to the Cambridge police were freely and voluntarily made and that the defendant knowingly and intentionally waived his right to remain silent; the court ruled that the statements were therefore admissible.
The defendant argues: (a) that the statements were involuntary in that he had not waived his right to remain silent and (b) that his statements were tainted fruits of his unlawful arrest.
Miranda rights. "The absence of a written waiver is not crucial if . . . it can be found that in the circumstances a knowing and intelligent waiver took place." Commonwealth v. Roy, 2 Mass. App. Ct. 14 , 20 (1974).
The judge here, upon examining the circumstances, found that the defendant had been properly advised of his Miranda rights. He was asked if he understood those rights and he responded affirmatively. He was also informed that all questioning would cease whenever he might wish. The defendant then agreed to talk to the police about the robbery and admitted that he had committed it. "The trial judge is in a far better position to determine the existence of a knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver than is an appellate court; his findings are entitled to `substantial deference.' United States v. Springer, 460 F. 2d 1344, 1348 (7th Cir.) [cert. den. 409 U.S. 873 (1972)]." Commonwealth v. Roy, 2 Mass. App. Ct. at 19.
the totality of the circumstances leading up to the waiver, including the conduct and characteristics of the accused and the details of the interrogation (Commonwealth v. Daniels, 366 Mass. 601 , 606-607 ), we hold that there was ample evidence to support the judge's conclusion that the defendant validly waived his right to remain silent. Commonwealth v. Johnson, 3 Mass. App. Ct. 226 , 230-231 (1975).
Fruits of the Poisonous Tree.
As recited earlier in the opinion, the arresting officer had learned subsequent to the defendant's interrogation by the Cambridge police that the warrant for his arrest had in fact been rescinded. The defendant argues that his statements to the Cambridge police "were so intimately connected to [his] unlawful arrest that they should have been viewed as its inadmissible fruits." The defendant claims that the standards articulated in Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590 (1975), require the suppression of his statements. In reversing the defendant's conviction in Brown, the Supreme Court examined the problem of the admissibility of a confession obtained after a warrantless arrest without probable cause. In rejecting the State's contention that the giving of Miranda warnings alone was sufficient to render the confession admissible, the Court stated: "The Miranda warnings are an important factor, to be sure, in determining whether the confession is obtained by exploitation of an illegal arrest. But they are not the only factor to be considered. The temporal proximity of the arrest and the confession, the presence of intervening circumstances, . . . and, particularly, the purpose and flagrancy of the official misconduct are all relevant. . . . The voluntariness of the statement is a threshold requirement." Brown, supra, at 603-604. The Court then found that the illegality of Brown's arrest had a "quality of purposefulness" and that the arresting officers were aware of its impropriety and were using it for investigatory purposes.
of a confession obtained after a defendant had been arrested on a warrant found to lack probable cause. In Commonwealth v. Fielding, 371 Mass. at 114, the court held that "[t]he breach of the Fourth Amendment was not a deliberate one committed by the police with a purpose to facilitate the procuring of a statement from Fielding. Significantly, the police did not proceed on their own, but sought and obtained a warrant. They lacked sufficient information to measure up to probable cause, but their misbehavior cannot be called flagrant. In these circumstances, outlawing Fielding's statement would hardly have served an important demonstrative purpose of deterring the police from future malfeasance." As in Fielding, the police in the instant case, at the scene of the arrest, were not proceeding on their own initiative, but on information received from the police department computer. Although there was, in fact, no valid warrant outstanding, the police misbehavior here cannot be characterized as flagrant. We conclude that the statements by the defendant were not the result of police exploitation of an illegal arrest and that the judge was correct in his finding and ruling that they were voluntary and therefore admissible.
