El Pla Fouchet és un projecte polític europeu. Va ser desenvolupat per un comitè intergovernamental presidit per Christian Fouchet el 1961. El treball de la Comissió va presentar una primera versió el 2 de novembre 1961, i una segona al gener de 1962.

Context
L'execució d'aquest pla es va realitzar efectivament a un entorn turbulent per a la Comunitat Europea. De fet, era un moment en què la Guerra Freda s'havia intensificat. Tanmateix, De Gaulle va ser un ferotge opositor del federalisme europeu. Va concebre Europa com una organització internacional, els deures de la qual incloïen mantenir la seva autonomia enfront de les dues grans potències d'aquest moment els Estats Units i la Unió Soviètica.

Història
Des del fracàs de la Comunitat Europea de Defensa (CED) el 1954, la Comunitat Europea havia reviscut el procés de construcció institucional d'Europa a través dels Tractats de Roma de 1957, que va instituir la Comunitat Econòmica Europea (CEE) i la Comunitat Europea de l'Energia Atòmica (CEEA). Tanmateix, estàs dues comunitats es van mantenir enfocades a l'economia, i no van abordar frontalment el tema de l'Europa política -sense posada comuna de la sobirania o de la institució de la Comunitat-.

Aquesta qüestió va ser objecte d'un desacord entre, d'una banda, França, a favor d'una senzilla cooperació intergovernamental, i d'altra banda, els altres cinc països membres de la CEE, favorables a la concessió de competències de tipus polític a l'Europa comunitària.

Per això van decidir els Caps d'Estat o de Govern dels Sis establir una comissió intergovernamental per estudiar els problemes relatius a la cooperació política europea a la Cimera Europea de París –10 i 11 de febrer 1961–. Aquest objectiu va ser reiterat a la Cimera Europea de Bonn al juliol de 1961. La Declaració de Bonn va precisar que aquest projecte era donar «forma a la voluntat de la unió política, ja implícita als tractats constitutius de les Comunitats Europees». El primer Pla Fouchet es va presentar el 2 de novembre 1961, i després enfront de la reticència dels membres de la comunitat europea, un segon va ser introduït el gener de 1962.

El projecte, que no s'ajustava als països de la CEE diferents de França, amb el temps va ser desatès. El Tractat de l'Elisi va ser una mesura provisional d'aquest pla mitjançant l'adopció de les disposicions principals, però limitat a dos països Alemanya i França.

Contingut
Entre juliol i setembre de 1960, Charles de Gaulle va parlar amb tots els seus socis europeus de la qüestió de l'organització política d'Europa. Aquesta iniciativa va ser l'origen al febrer de 1961 de la creació per part dels Sis, d'una comissió d'estudis, presidida pel gaullista Christian Fouchet («Comitè Fouchet»), la funció del qual era presentar les propostes per donar un «caràcter legal per a la unió dels pobles» –conferència de Bonn 18 de juliol, 1961–. De fet, solament França va presentar un projecte públicament estructurat de la unió política.

El primer Pla Fouchet distingia les competències de la Comunitat Europea i les de la futura unió política. Es va determinar l'establiment de la cooperació entre els Estats membres en matèria de política estrangera i de defensa, de ciència, de cultura i de protecció dels drets humans.

El pla Fouchet, tanmateix, va tenir la seva ruptura final entre França i els seus socis europeus, el 17 d'abril de 1962 pel seu rebuig al voltant de tres punts:
) la referència a l'OTAN, rebutjat per França;
) la reorganització de les institucions. La primera versió del Pla Fouchet establia que la revisió del Tractat de la Unió Europea hauria de tenir com a objectiu una centralització de les institucions de les existents dintre de les comunitats de la Unió Europea. Però la segona versió del Pla Fouchet ja no parla de centralització dins de la Unió, sinó de la cooperació entre les institucions de les Comunitats Europees i la Unió Europea. A la tercera versió del Pla Fouchet, el General de Gaulle també proposa altres dos canvis. D'un costat diu que els objectius de la Unió (la política exterior, la política de defensa, la política cultural i científica) la política econòmica, com les àrees d'acció clau de la Comunitats europees existents. I d'altra banda, suprimeix a l'article 17, sobre la reorganització de les institucions de la UE, amb la frase «de conformitat amb les estructures previstes als Tractats de París i de Roma constitutives de les Comunitats Europees»;
) la candidatura de Gran Bretanya. Problema resumit per Paul-Henri Spaak, «si vostè no vol la integració, aleshores li falta Gran Bretanya i si vostè no vol Gran Bretanya, aleshores li falta la integració. Necessitem una o l'altra. Nosaltres no podem estar sense integració ni sense Gran Bretanya».

Detective Mitch Stone and Mishcievous Morty the cat resort to shenanigans as they compete for psychic Sunshine Meadows' attention. But when Sunny's best friend's heirloom wedding rings go missing. they must all work together for figure out whodunit.
Hi folks. My name is Sunshine Meadows, but everyone calls me Sunny. On Feb 24th I'm going to tell you a brand new story. Mitch finally took the plunge and moved in with me. I had such high hopes for our relationship now that we're a real couple. But he and Morty are constantly at each other, causing all sorts of chaos. I can't take it any more. If they don't stop soon, I'm walking out the door. Jo needs me. Her wedding is so close, and I'm the maid of honor. Just wait until you hear what they did. Join me for a release party on facebook with lots of prizes and loads of fun. In the meantime, here's an except of my story.
"Here we go again," I said, staring at my big white cat, Morty. He stood defiantly in front of the window in my ancient Victorian house, casting a foreboding shadow behind him. A telling smirk crossed his aristocratic face as he shot me a parting look with his jet black eyes and then walked regally out of the room.
"What do you mean?" asked my best friend, Joanne Burnham, swiping burgundy curls over her voluptuous shoulder and studying me with curious, smoky gray eyes.
"They seemed to have called a sort of truce. I just never dreamed that asking Mitch to move in with me would cause so much chaos. Morty doesn't exactly like to play nice in the sandbox.
Biff was the beautiful Great Dane pup Cole and Jo had adopted from Animal Angels recently. Poor baby had been abused, but once Cole laid eyes on him, he was a goner. Biff didn't like to share his daddy with anyone, not even Jo.
"I wasn't talking about Morty." Jo's eyes sparkled.
"Speak of the devil." Jo grinned as my big brooding hulk of a man Mitch walked through the front door, followed closely by her even bigger tattooed, leather covered Sasquatch Cole. Morty shot outside before the door closed, and Mitch grunted as if to say good riddance, then the men joined us in the living room.
He frowned at Jo. "I can only imagine what you two were talking about." Then he looked at me and arched a thick black brow. I wasn't about to tell him. Let him worry for a change.
"Did you put the rings someplace safe?" I asked.
"And where exactly would that 'safe place' be, Grumpy Pants?" I asked, minus the wink.
I couldn't help melting a little and forgiving him just a tiny bit, but any more shenanigans from either of them, and all bets were off.
This sounds really good. Going to have to get it.
Glad you liked Tempest, Grandma Cootie :) I've had a ball with this series.

The protocol did not prioritise outcomes. We prioritised the outcomes related to emotions (emotional well-being including quality of life, and mood disturbance or negative affect) as being of critical importance because these outcomes (e.g. depression) are closely related to quality of life of people with dementia (Banerjee 2009; Beerens 2014). Depression and anxiety are also prevalent and rather persistent during the course of the dementia (van der Linde 2016; Zhao 2016).We further prioritised behavioural problems because these affect relationships and caregiver burden (e.g. van der Linde 2012); and some may also be indicators of distress.
Social behaviour and cognitionwere important but secondary outcomes, as the benefit for the participants themselves was not as obvious as for outcomes more closely related to their quality of life.

I had a conversation last week with a woman who is going through a breakup but really wants to get back with her husband. She believes that they can both make it work, with effort and communication.
One of the first questions she asked me as a Relationship Coach was: Are you pro-marriage?
I immediately answered her: I am pro-happiness, I am pro-personal power, I am pro-responsibility, I am pro-freedom, I am pro-love, I am pro-peace. I believe in Marriage, and I believe in Divorce.
I am certain she asked me this question because I have been divorced three times, and she may I have thought that I would encourage her to stay separated based on my personal experience.
However, there is no right or wrong answer. The answer is different for everyone.
My three marriage and three divorces are just the way I have experienced my life and relationships so far.
Getting married was everything I wished for when I entered into a serious Relationship in the past and I was craving to create a family.
Getting divorced was everything I wished for when I lost my personal power in relationships. I realized that I was a people pleaser and I was focusing my energy on everybody else but me. I had created some co-dependent relationships and handed my partners the responsibility for my own happiness. Did I wish to get a divorce? Certainly not.
At that time, it seemed it was the only way for me to get back my confidence, my personal power, and my freedom.
My personal path was that I needed to be on my own to reconnect with my deepest self, and take responsibility for my own happiness.
I could have made different choices and stayed in the relationships.
Divorce at that time just felt right for me.
Regardless of whether you are in a relationship or going through a divorce, I am focused on getting you to a safe place of awareness so that you can regain power, strength, confidence, and clarity. You remain empowered with your own decisions. Whatever decisions you make, I support you 100%. I just want to make sure that you are aligned with your values and the life you want to create.
I have helped people to overcome the emotional challenges of divorce.
I have helped couples improve their relationships and communication skills so they could experience a new way of being in a partnership. In this way, they could create a safe space to co-create instead of being co-dependent.
I have helped individuals understand their personal dynamic, patterns, and beliefs so that they can break free from their past stories. They have transformed the way they relate to themselves and have gained, a new level of awareness in relationships. Some of them have chosen to get back with their ex, some of them have decided to try something new.
Everyone and everyone's experiences are unique. Every situation is different.
I believe the only way to know what's best for you is to strengthen the relationship you have with yourself.
The key is to overcome your patterns and triggers so that you can get a better understanding of your personal dynamic.
Once you have that awareness, you are able to make new choices and have the clarity to choose what's best for you.
This new awareness has the power to impact and shift every single relationship you have.

If you think creating multiple accounts on social media websites, and sharing content and updates regarding your brand is all there is to social media marketing, dear entrepreneur, you are mistaken.
This perception of social media marketing service is not going to help your marketing campaign. Instead, it will cost you time, resources, and money, in vain. To save you the trouble, the kind people at Elephantation, which is a Branding and Digital Advertising Agency in Dubai, have put together a checklist of sorts.
Find your way to the end of these ten points and see whether or not your entrepreneurship venture is ready to enter the social media sphere.
Get the most technically literate members of your staff to brainstorm a social media marketing strategy. Starting your digital marketing service with a strategy will fine tune the shortcomings in your marketing campaign.
Back when we started marketing Elephant Nation, we made sure our base strategy was developed upon the following aspects. We advise you do the same.
Sole objectives and items for the blog, social networks, videos, photos, and presentations.
Time to be allotted to each facet of social marketing.
Varying approaches for different sites.
You must settle on to a theme for your brand. Mindlessly creating a brand and putting it online will not serve the competitive world of today.
Much like Elephant Nation has related everything to elephants, their excellent memory, and tirelessness; find an interesting mascot for your brand.
Once you decide a theme, everything from colors to designs should be in accordance with it.
It is always better to handle a few social media profiles well rather than creating haphazard profiles on every possible site. Analyze the social media sites that correspond to the target audience and nature of your brand before getting on the social media marketing bandwagon.
Contrary to popular belief, social media marketing incurs expenses. Though, these expenses can be reduced by exploring the full potential, features, and facilities of some sites.
Allot a fixed budget to your online campaign and make plans that fall within your allotted expenses.
It is important that you put the best among your arsenal of workers to the task of social media management and evaluation.
Elephant Nation is a success story forged through effective communication. Be prepared to go the extra mile when it comes to dealing online with clients and other business partners. Collectively, they will help build your community.
For further fine tunings and measuring the success of your online campaigns, you will need to take step to employ benchmarking into your strategy. You can make use of any of the multiple benchmarking and evaluation tools available online.
At Elephant Nation, everything we do offline, such as offering real life prizes, organizing conferences and seminars etc. is part of the online marketing scheme as well.
The news and updates of such social activities must reach your customers through your online forums.
Lay editorial rules that will govern consistency of cross-platform quality content. The content should meet ends with the target audience and the general tone of the company/brand.
We work towards more casual and friendly, yet relevant content at Elephant Nation.
People tend to fall for marketing that has a more amiable approach. So make it a point to deal with your clients and customers on a very personal, yet professional level. Use simple language that is understandable, witty, and helpful to your customers to make the most out of your social media marketing campaign.


(March 26, 2018) ARCHIVOS announced today that their online story development software will be used by Epic Proportions Tour artists to promote their Spring EPT 2018 concert tour. Musicians will be able to use ARCHIVOS to chronicle and flesh out their stories as 30 different shows happen nationwide. This partnership allows anyone the ability to visualize the entire tour and the bands as it happens in real time.
A story is more than just people, places, and events. It's the revelation of how those story elements interact that creates the excitement and drama that inspires us. How did the first gig go? What did the band think of last night's city? Don't miss out on what hilarious story that will be told well after the tour ends. ARCHIVOS helps visualize the connections between story elements, providing a unique and intuitive expression of a story world. Those connections illuminate the true meaning and significance of story… and that's exactly what ARCHIVOS was designed to do.
Gabe Kubanda, EPT owner and anchor artist, explained "This is so much more than just keeping track of a Facebook page as a band tours. This is all the bells and whistles. If you want the most in-depth way to find the new artist you love, ARCHIVOS is how you do it.
ARCHIVOS is currently in Beta but will be launched April 27, 2018. Interested in getting a FREE demo of the software? Sign up today!
ARCHIVOS represents a whole new way to look at stories, illuminating the context and connections between characters, places, and events, rather than just detailing individual story elements. Its interactive displays allow storytellers and fans to discover intriguing patterns and structures to the narratives of their favorite stores as well as enriching stories as they're being written!


I just installed the rather lovely Google Blogger Web Comments extension into Firefox. What the extension does is tell me if there are blog posts about any particularly web page I am visiting, using Google's Blog Search utility. A little icon appears in the bottom right of the browse status bar when there are Blogger posts about the page I'm viewing.
In the process of installing this nifty little tool, I also had to tell Firefox to allow pop-ups from Google, in order for the install to complete.
What's interesting about this process is that by installing this extension I have actually helped Google do two profoundly evil things. Firstly I had to change my pop-up preferences to allow pop-ups from google.com. Secondly I installed a piece of software that tells Google exactly what pages I am visiting. Potentially, Google will know more about my web use than my system administrator does.
And the really interesting thing is how undeliberate this is. I'm pretty sure no-one at Google sat down and said "OK, chaps, here's your challenge – write a tool that forces people to accept our pop-ups and indexes every web page they visit." Because I'm sure someone would have said "nooooo, that would be evil." Because web innovation is now reaching so far down into the innards of people's browers and even their computers (and it started with cookies, remember – I mean, how evil are they?) that everyone ends up doing something evil at some point.
And the really really interesting thing is how ready I am to give Google all this stuff for the benefit of one little piece of mildly interesting functionality. Just think what I'd give them if they offered me something really useful – like a single sign-on? Or VOIP that works? Or municipal Wi-Fi? Or….
If you've used the Google toolbar you are already telling Google about every page you visit. It has to send that information back to Google to display the little PageRank icon.
Yes, I know. I don't use the Google toolbar. But not for that reason, if you get my drift.
Not accidental, although not necessarily evil. Google wants the website information in aggregate, if only to build a popularity index like alexa and to beef up pagerank. Complete website visit statistics user-side is their holy grail. Although so is personalized advertising :).

I am committed to reforming our broken prison system to save taxpayers money and give individuals who have paid their debt to society a second chance. In conjunction with my leadership on criminal justice matters, I have focused on producing legislation which invests in education, economic growth, and jobs. I believe we should be investing in opportunity instead of squandering tax dollars building more prisons.
Federal, state and local prisons have vastly expanded the use of solitary confinement. At any given time, 80,000 people are held in solitary confinement nationwide. These individuals are kept isolated for as many as 23 hours a day, often for years on end, with limited contact with other prisoners or the outside world. Inmates subject to indefinite long-term solitary confinement are at higher risk for suicide, self-mutilation and often descend into madness. We must change our approach to solitary confinement to address the public safety, human and fiscal costs to our nation.
On any given day, there are over 70,000 juveniles in jail across the country at a cost of around $6 billion a year. Interactions with the criminal justice system at a young age have a ripple effect that makes it harder for children to achieve success later. We in Congress have a responsibility to do things that ensure that our children have a brighter future. By investing in support programs rather than incarceration, we can reduce the amount we have to spend on incarceration, reduce recidivism, and make the public safer. Supporting programs that keep our children out of jail is one of the best investments we can make.
Just over 50,000 men and women are held in Louisiana prisons and jails. Every year, 15,000 prisoners are released from Louisiana prisons and jails and return to their communities. Former prisoners must juggle a number of reentry challenges including trying to acquire steady employment, finding stable housing, dealing with health problems, and attempting to renew family relationships. As a result, they often end up reincarcerated for either violating the conditions of release or for committing a new crime. We must provide these individuals with the services and support that could facilitate their successful reintegration.

Q: What is the status of Miux? Microsoft Announces Its Own Linux OS, on It's F.O.S.S., April 1, 2015.
I cannot find it on distrowatch. Was this a hoax, or is this a real, living distro that can be downloaded, tested?

A: Well, it was published on April 1, 2015 - April Fools' Day. They produce other jokes on April 1st, like Linus Torvalds To Join Microsoft To Head Windows 9 Project.

Imperial president to unilaterally rule on amnesty, blame Congress
Not only is Barack Obama set to unilaterally rule on amnesty for illegal immigrants, but, the Associated Press said Thursday, he intends to blame Congress for acting like a dictator.
Examiner reported:
According to the AP, the White House intends to argue that Congress didn't provide enough resources to fully enforce the law, thereby giving wide latitude to the administration to prioritize deportation of some 11.5 million illegal immigrants. Republicans, the AP added, are also working to see what steps they can take to prevent Obama from essentially ruling like a dictator on immigration, something Democrats like Luiz Gutierrez have demanded for some time.
In June, Obama told immigration activists that "if Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours." In short, if Congress doesn't pass amnesty in his time frame, then Obama would take action on his own.
At this point, it's uncertain what, exactly Obama intends to do. Whatever it is, though, White House spokesman Shawn Turner said it will be "rooted in a solid legal foundation." The AP said, however, that Obama's actions will "almost surely be challenged in court."
Obama, the AP added, may have undermined his own case, having once said that he's the president, not a king and "can't just make the laws up by myself."
But that hasn't stopped him from deploying his pen and his phone in the past.
n February, for example, the administration bypassed Congress with new exemptions that would allow immigrants who provided "limited material support" to terrorists into the country. Last June, Obama said he would rely on executive fiat and regulatory action in his war on the coal industry. Last July, Obama waived congressional restrictions and ordered $148 million to the Palestinian Authority, claiming it was in the "national security interests" of the United States. On Wednesday, news broke that Obama is seeking to enact an international agreement on climate change while bypassing the Senate.
And of course, it's someone's fault. He's blamed the Internet, ATM machines, George W. Bush, the Constitution, a "messy democracy" and the Founding Fathers. Now, it's Congress' fault he intends to rule like a dictator. And Democrats, naturally, couldn't be happier.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, is the House speaker. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a freshman and major proponent of a plan, named the Green New Deal, for tackling climate change.
"This was a disturbed individual, an evil person, and to try and tie him to an American politician from either party probably ignores some of the deeper, difficulties that this sort of activity exposes," Mulvaney said.
Still, Mulvaney's defense of Trump failed to quiet calls, chiefly from Democrats, for the president to issue a forceful denunciation of white nationalism. They argue that Trump's rhetoric, including harsh comments about immigrants and Muslims, encourages individuals like the New Zealand shooter.
Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the man accused of the deadly shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, left behind a lengthy document stating he was a white nationalist who hates immigrants and was set off by attacks in Europe that were perpetrated by Muslims.
The attacks left 50 people dead and 34 others wounded, a dozen of them critically.
Mulvaney said Trump is a defender of religious minorities worldwide, and that his actions speak louder than his words.
Mulvaney also addressed a threat by North Korea to reconsider its halt to nuclear and ballistic missile tests, saying such a move would be a "truly disappointing turn of events." The threat followed the collapse of nuclear disarmament talks last month between Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
The chief of staff also expressed confidence that Trump's veto of a measure blocking his declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border — in order to build a border wall — will be upheld when the House votes later this month to override the president.
"It doesn't have a chance," Mulvaney said of the vote set for March 26.
As a candidate, Trump proposed banning all Muslims from entering the United States. As president, he drew criticism for attempting to institute the travel ban and for being slow to condemn white supremacy and related violence. After a violent 2017 clash between white nationalists and anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one demonstrator dead, Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides" of the confrontation.
Trump also did not immediately reject support from David Duke, a former KKK Grand Wizard, during his presidential campaign.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who is also Muslim, said Trump should call the Justice Department for data on the rise of white supremacy in the U.S. She urged Trump to use his bully pulpit to denounce the movement.
"He, from the Oval Office, from that power position, can be able to send a signal very loud and clear," she said.

Why is Uranus able to support a regular satellite system?
Uranus has an obliquity of 98° which means that the mutual inclination between a satellite orbiting in its equatorial plane and the orbit of Uranus around the Sun would exceed the critical angle for Kozai oscillations. This would drive the satellites to high eccentricities which would likely be extremely damaging to the stability of the system, yet Uranus does host a system of regular satellites on near-circular orbits in its equatorial plane.
This suggests something is suppressing the Kozai oscillations for the regular satellites, so what is doing this? I suspect it is linked either to the non-spherical shape of the planet or gravitational interactions between the moons, but I'm not sure which would be a more relevant factor.
orbit solar-system natural-satellites celestial-mechanics uranus
$\begingroup$ @userLTK - the major moons are located beyond the Roche limit though, otherwise they would be destroyed by tides. $\endgroup$ – user24157 Jan 16 '19 at 18:40
$\begingroup$ Sorry, I meant inside the stable region of the Hill sphere. (silly mistake). $\endgroup$ – userLTK Jan 17 '19 at 5:45
The solar perturbations on most of the satellites of Uranus are on a very small scale indeed, which may explain the absence of the instabilities noted in the question.
A perturbational effect depends on the scale of the solar perturbing accelerations relative to the ordinary inverse-square attraction of the primary body. The scale factor (often designated $ m^2 $ in texts on the lunar theory such as Airy's 'Mathematical Tracts' and Godfray's 'Lunar Theory') increases with the separation of the satellite from the primary, it is also as the cube of the distance-ratio satellite-primary : primary-Sun (see detailed calculation below).
Taking as an example the most distant of the major moons of Uranus, Oberon at 583500 km:
The scale factor for the solar perturbing accelerations on Oberon in its orbit relative to Uranus is only about 1/5,000,000 of the gravitational acceleration towards Uranus felt by Oberon (calculation below).
Comparing the corresponding scale factor for Earth's moon and its solar perturbations, the factor is very much larger, close to 1/178, as is well-known. The Moon has a fairly strongly sun-perturbed orbit relative to the Earth, but the solar perturbations on Oberon are more than four orders of magnitude smaller, really very tiny.
It is possible that the two tiny outermost satellites XVI and XVII of Uranus may be experiencing perturbations large enough to drive growth of their eccentricities, their eccentricities at 0.18 and 0.52 are very large compared with the major satellites, all with eccentricity < 0.004 (source, Astronomical Almanac 2016).
Detail of the approximate calculation:
The 'sampled' solar perturbing acceleration on a satellite is taken for present purposes to be represented by the perturbing acceleration on the satellite when it is close to quadrature with the Sun (as seen from the planet). In this configuration, the solar perturbation on the satellite is directed towards the planet, adding here to the ordinary inverse-square attraction of the satellite towards the planet.
With mass-constants of the Sun, S, and of the planet, P ; planetary semi-axis a ; and planet-satellite separation d , plus an assumption that the mass of the satellite is very small relative to the other two:
1 ** the planet's accelerative attraction on the satellite is $P/d^2$ ;
2 ** the Sun's accelerative attraction on the planet is $S/a^2$ ;
3 ** and so also (to a quite close approximation) is the amplitude of the Sun's accelerative attraction on the satellite $S/a^2$ .
4 ** When the satellite is in quadrature, the resolved part of the Sun's vector attraction on it that does not cancel with the Sun's attraction on the planet, i.e. the net perturbation on the satellite at that point, is given very nearly by the proportions of the triangle satellite-planet-sun: the lengths of two of the sides are approximately a and the third d. In this configuration, the resolved part of acceleration #3 in the direction of the planet, to a close approximation, is thus --
$ (S/a^2) . (d/a) $.
The ratio of perturbing acceleration 4 to ordinary planetary attraction 1 is thus
$ (S/P) . (d/a)^3 $.
For the Sun and Uranus, S/P ~= 22902 ,
for the Sun and Earth+Moon, S/P ~= 328901 .
Uranus is approximately 19 au from the Sun to the Earth's 1, the au is 149597871 km, the mean planetocentric distance of Oberon is 583500 km and of the Moon 385000 km.
Using these figures, the ratio
'solar perturbation on satellite : planetary attraction on satellite'
comes to ~ 1/178 for the Earth and Moon, and ~ 1/5,000,000 for Uranus and Oberon.
The tiny outer satellites of Uranus are farther away from it than Oberon is, in a ratio of about 20.8 for the outer (XVII). Thus the perturbations on it, as a proportion of the ordinary attraction of Uranus at its distance, is $(20.8)^3$ times larger than for Oberon, making the relevant perturbation scale factor as large as about 1/550 , still smaller than for the one for our Moon, but perhaps enough for the disturbing effects to be reflected in its higher eccentricity of about 0.52.
{Update:} It turns out that the orbits of the outer Uranian moons have actually been studied: Brozovic, M.; Jacobson, R. A. (2009), "The Orbits of the Outer Uranian Satellites", The Astronomical Journal, 137 (4): 3834-42. Just one of the (high-eccentricity) outer satellites was found to be disturbed by a Kozai resonance and may be in unstable orbit. It appears that the conditions for the effect are not fulfilled for the others.

$\begingroup$ It may help if you learn that you can use TeX maths between dollar signs, eg $S/a^2 \times d/a$ $\endgroup$ – James K Jan 16 '19 at 7:01
$\begingroup$ I'm not sure that this explains it, because there is evidence for Kozai oscillations in exoplanetary systems in wide binaries where the gravitational force from the secondary star is much weaker than the primary. If I take equation 42 from Antognini (2015) then the timescale for Kozai oscillations of Oberon is about 32,000 years, which is much shorter than the age of the solar system. $\endgroup$ – user24157 Jan 16 '19 at 18:39
$\begingroup$ Thanks for your comment. Are you able to give a citation to the paper showing the Kz oscillations in a system with 'much weaker' grav. effect from the secondary star? (I also can't see where the Antognini paper considers the effect of perturbation amplitude.) $\endgroup$ – terry-s Jan 17 '19 at 0:52
$\begingroup$ @terry-s - Kozai oscillations have been implicated for generating the high eccentricities, e.g. HD 80606, HD 20782 and 16 Cyg. The timescale seems to factor in the relative magnitudes of the gravitational pulls as the timescale for inner satellites is longer. Kozai does appear to be operating on the cloud of outer irregular satellites but something must be suppressing it for the regular satellites. I would buy the weak solar influence argument if the timescale for Kozai oscillations were longer than the age of the solar system, but this does not appear to be the case for the major satellites. $\endgroup$ – user24157 Jan 17 '19 at 22:29
$\begingroup$ @mistertibs -- but have you a citation that shows the evidence and the conditions for the bodies that you name, and how the amplitude question is taken into account? $\endgroup$ – terry-s Jan 17 '19 at 23:26

Fulfillment Provider Fiege acquires perception-controlled picking robots from Magazino
Visit http://www.magazino.eu/news/ for further information
Deployment will begin in September, when the robots will be implemented into Fieges Mega Center to pick shoes that have been ordered online.
09/11/16, 01:41 PM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation
7th September, 2016 - Munich-based startup, Magazino, has sold three perception-controlled, item-specific picking robots to fulfillment service provider, Fiege. Deployment will begin in September, when the robots will be implemented into Fieges Mega Center to pick shoes that have been ordered online. The perception-controlled and database-connected robot is able to pick single items, like shoe boxes, autonomously with its laser and camera-system, as well as transport them to the desired destination.
CEO and Co-Founder of Magazino, Frederik Brantner, said: "We are at a point in time where revolutionary solutions are being developed in a market that is crying out for disruption, and Magazino is at the forefront of driving this innovation.
"Incredible headway is being made within automation, computer vision and intelligent programming which means robots today are perception-driven, and reacting to their environment, which is particularly exciting when it comes to opportunities in the warehouse. From the beginning, it was fundamental to us that the robots are able to work alongside humans, as their implementation is intended to complement the existing workforce."
Jens Fiege, CEO of Fiege, is looking forward to the joint project with Magazino, he said:
"With the implementation of new technologies, we pursue the goal to make our logistics processes quicker and more efficient. The robots of Magazino are an exciting project to digitise our warehouses even more. I believe, with our practical expertise, we are contributing to the development of applying robotics within intralogistics."
Magazinos TORU Cube, which receives its picking-orders via WLAN, is able to pick rectangular-shaped objects, up to a weight of three kilograms, from the lowest up to the highest shelf of a regular storage system. The robot can store six to eight shoeboxes in its internal storage space and can, therefore, execute numerous orders in one run. Due to its safety laser, the TORU robot recognises obstacles, as well as humans, in its environment and uses these as points of reference to orientate and pinpoint its location in the warehouse. This means reflectors or markers on the ground are not necessary. Once learned, the intuitive robot is able to share, via WLAN, self-created maps of its environment and experience with certain barriers with new robot-colleagues that join the fleet.
Printable pictures and further information about TORU can be found here: http://www.magazino.eu/news/
Magazino GmbH, with its headquarters in Munich, was founded by Frederik Brantner, Lukas Zanger and Nikolas Engelhard in 2014. Since then, the startup has grown to more than 50 employees. Magazino builds and develops perception controlled, mobile robots for intralogistics. The order-picking-robot, TORU, is the latest development from Magazino. Until now it was only possible to automated pick whole boxes and pallets. Now, with TORU, it is possible to pick a single item. Magazinos technology contains 2D and 3D cameras which makes it possible to identify and locate a single object within the shelf, pick it safely and finally transport it precisely to the desired location. The intelligent robot TORU works side-by-side with humans and delivers the desired parts at the right time to the workplace or to the shipping station. With this solution Magazino delivers the perfect Item-logistic for the industry 4.0. For more information, visit: www.magazino.eu
The Fiege Group with its headquarters in Greven, Westfalen is one of the leading providers in logistics in Europe. Their expertise is manly the development and realizing of integrated, holistically logistic systems. They are known as a pioneer of contract-logistics. The Group generated a turnover of 1,4 billion Euros with its 10.500 employees in 2015. 160 locations and cooperations in 15 countries form a close logistic network. 2.7 billion square meters of warehouse and logistic space show the performance capability of the company.

This has been a paid review, but has not influenced my opinion in any way.


12 September 1949, at 11.45 a.m.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the present meeting with the Israeli delegation, which would be the last, before the Commission adjourned, had been convened not only to hear any remarks which the Israeli delegation might wish to make but to transmit to the Israeli delegation the reply, signed by the three members of the Commission, to the Israeli memorandum of 31 August.
The note covered both the question of refugees and that of a territorial settlement and indicated that it was the Commission's opinion that the Israeli proposals were not such as to make for the conclusion of a final settlement. The Commission therefore asked the Israeli delegation to request their Government to re-examine the question and to make certain modifications to their existing proposals or to submit new suggestions.
The General Assembly's resolution of 11 December 1948 instructed the Commission to facilitate negotiations and, in that connection, the Chairman wished to stress the fact that flexibility was an essential characteristic of negotiations and that for it to be disregarded by either side would amount to a violation of the resolution. He urged the Israeli delegation to draw their Government's attention to that factor and to press that new proposals be put forward in Now York with that consideration in mind.
He pointed out that the note addressed to the Israeli delegation was very similar to that addressed to the Arab delegations, a copy of which was attached.
In view of the fact that the present note was of such great importance, the members of the Commission had asked their respective Governments to press the matter through the normal diplomatic channels with the Israeli Government as well as with the Governments of the Arab States. The recess in the Commission's work would afford the necessary time for the Governments concerned to formulate their replies and would also enable the Commission to receive preliminary reports from the Economic Mission.
He expressed the hope that, with the cooperation of the parties, the Commission would be able, when it resumed in New York, to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the problem.
Mr. SHILOAH wished to make it clear that the fact that he was obviously unable to reply verbally to the Commission's note at the present meeting did not in any way mean that he accepted the Commission's conclusions as to the lack of flexibility shown by his delegation or its interpretation that such an attitude amounted to a violation of the General Assembly's resolution. The Israeli delegation had indeed been in disagreement with the Commission on points of procedure but he did not consider that its attitude had at any time justified the Chairman's implied rebuke.
The CHAIRMAN regretted that there had been a misunderstanding since he had not intended any implied rebuke either to the Israeli delegation or to the Arab delegations. His remarks on the need for flexibility had been intended to apply to the future stages of negotiation.
Mr. SHILOAH wished to make a practical suggestion with regard to the communique which, under normal procedure, the Commission would publish at the time of its adjournment. He would strongly urge the Commission, in drafting the communique, to avoid as far as possible touching upon the substance of the issues under discussion. The parties had agreed to cooperate with a body established by the Commission which was endeavouring to find a practical solution to the distressing problem of the refugees. Any statement at present made which night lead to public argument and discussion night jeopardise that work and would, in any case, make it a great deal more difficult. A short period of time when the Palestine issue was not being discussed would, in his opinion, do the common cause for which they were all working, a great service.
The CHAIRMAN agreed with the representative of Israel that it would be highly desirable to avoid any polemics, but nevertheless he pointed out that the Commission was obliged to inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the stage it had reached in its work. It would however endeavour to do so in a form which would avert as far as possible the disadvantages emphasized by the Israeli representative.
He wished furthermore to call the Israeli representative's attention to the Draft Declaration concerning guarantees for the protection of and free access to Holy Places which had been handed to the Israeli delegation with a covering letter. The Commission requested that a reply should be sent at the earliest possible opportunity to the Principal Secretary either in Lausanne or subsequently in Jerusalem.
Finally he wished to thank the Israeli delegation for its cooperation and to express the hope that the Commission's work would progress considerably when it resumed conversations in New York.
Mr. SHILOAH also hoped that substantial progress would soon be achieved. He wished to express his sincere thanks to the Commission for its cooperation, even when difficult issues had been touched upon. Speaking in a personal capacity, as he did not think he himself would be representing his Government when the Commission reconvened in Now York, he expressed his appreciation for the collaboration of all members of the Commission and of the Secretariat.

Most major jurisdictions around the world have introduced legislations for limiting intermediary liability in order to ensure that this wheel does not stop spinning. With the 2008 amendment of the Information Technology Act 2000, India joined the bandwagon and established a 'notice and takedown' regime for limiting intermediary liability.

Holy Grail of Early Derek Jeter Autographed Baseballs Coming to Auction
October 28, 2020 By Lyell Marks
What may be the earliest known baseball signed by Derek Jeter as a professional is coming to auction, an iconic ball that has been cherished for 28 years by the batboy of the 1992 high school all-star game Jeter played in as a teenager in Michigan.
The batboy–a 10-year old little leaguer who's uncle coached the local varsity baseball team—was gifted the ball after the game which also includes other players who starred in the game. Nearly three decades later, the owner says he is "ready to pass it on to the next person to add to their collection."
It'll be among the items in the Fall Sports Collectibles catalog at Heritage Auctions and is expected to sell for $15,000 or more.
Jeter's autograph appears on the sweet spot, a desirable feature for any Jeter collector interested in the item. It also showcases the teenager's early penmanship, as his signature would evolve into a very different looking, cursive-style autograph with several distinct loops for the letters in his name as early as 1993. A PSA/DNA certfied Jeter ball currently listed on eBay illustrates how his signature changed early on in his pro career.
The ball at Heritage is also inscribed with the score of the game (17-10 West defeated the East) and dated June 18, 1992. This was not in Jeter's hand, but provides evidence of this ball being the earliest known version of his signature.
A ball authenticated by PSA/DNA that is autographed by Jeter is currently on eBay and states that it is "earliest known" Jeter signed baseball. It was signed during his '92 stint in the Gulf Coast League, but does not include a date. With Heritage bringing the 1992 ball from his high school all-star game to auction, Jeter collectors will be competing for an item that predates anything available on the market. Six years ago, Heritage actually sold a ball signed by the Hall of Famer long before either one of those. A ball inked by an eight-year-old Jeter and his youth baseball teammates went off the board at $36,000.
An Inauspicious Start
For a Yankee legend who amassed 3,000 hits, won five World Series and was a 14-time MLB All-Star—Jeter's pro career was a classic example of how it's not how you start, but how you finish.
His first game in the minors as a highly regarded first round pick likely left most spectators that day wondering if the Yankees had missed the mark. Jeter went 0-for-7 in a doubleheader, struck out five times, and made a throwing error that cost his team one of the games.
In 1993, Jeter set an infamous record by committing 56 errors at the shortstop position for the Class A Greensboro Hornets. He hit a respectable .295, but his fielding woes prompted teammate R.D. Long to remark "he looked like a right-fielder playing shortstop…every way you can make an error, he made it."
After committing another 51 errors in his second season as a pro, it wasn't only his teammates who were starting to question whether the first-round pick was cut out to play shortstop.
Undeterred, Jeter kept improving. While members of the organization started to grumble behind doors about Jeter possibly moving to the outfield, others convinced the team they should stick with the youngster from Kalamazoo as their shortstop.
Yankees' coach Brian Butterfield began working with Jeter after that offseason and was an instrumental piece in helping Jeter cut his errors to 25 in 1994. The rest of Jeter's game began to blossom as well that summer, as he hit .344 and stole 50 bases for Class A Advanced Tampa Bay as a 20-year-old.
One year later, in 1995, Jeter was making his debut for the New York Yankees and never looked back. He won five Gold Gloves at the MLB level, and was known for his intuitive instincts that always seemed to put him in the right place at the right time.
The "flip play" in 2001 is a classic example, one where Jeter was backing up a double-cut and recognized the ball was not going to make it to home plate in time to get the runner Jeremy Giambi. Generally, it's the first baseman and second baseman who form a double cut on an extra base hit to right field, but on that fateful day Jeter's instincts led him to the ball and helped lead the Yankees to a series comeback against the Oakland A's.
The Yankees would once again appear in the Fall Classic that year, thanks in large part to Jeter's timely flip to Jorge Posada. Heritage also has a signed baseball from Jeter from that World Series up for auction.
Bidding will open November 19 with the auction set to close over several days in December.

Q: overloading multiple operators in one function is it possible to overload multiple operators in one operator overload?
I want to do something like this:
template<operator O>
MyClass operator<O>(const MyClass & other) {
return this.x <O> other.x;
}

where x is an int attribute of the class.
so that itll be possible to overload all of the int operators at once, meaning I could with one function, overload +, -, *, / etc. insted of copy pasting a code a milion times and just changing one line.
in my specific example I have a struct Point which contains two integers, and another struct called Pointf which contains two floats, and I want to be able to add, subtruct, multiply and devide them with each other or with an int value, currently Im doing that with dozen of functions, but I would like to do it with just a few functions, I would like to overwrite the +=, -=, *- and /= as well.

A: No, you can't overload multiple operators in one operator overload. You could however make a class template to use for all your Points:
#include <iostream>

template<typename T>
class Point_impl {
public:
    using value_type = T;
    template <typename U>
    friend class Point_impl;

    Point_impl() : x_{}, y_{} {}            // default
    Point_impl(T x, T y) : x_{x}, y_{y} {}  // conversion

    // create one Point_impl<T> from a Point_impl<U>
    template<typename U>
    Point_impl(const Point_impl<U>& rhs) :
        x_{static_cast<T>(rhs.x_)},
        y_{static_cast<T>(rhs.y_)}
    {}

    T get_x() const { return x_; }
    T get_y() const { return y_; }

    // add a Point_impl<U> to *this
    template<typename U>
    Point_impl<T>& operator+=(const Point_impl<U>& rhs) {
        x_ += static_cast<U>(rhs.x_);
        y_ += static_cast<U>(rhs.y_);
        return *this;
    }

    template<typename U>
    Point_impl<T>& operator-=(const Point_impl<U>& rhs) {
        x_ -= static_cast<U>(rhs.x_);
        y_ -= static_cast<U>(rhs.y_);
        return *this;
    }

    template<typename U>
    Point_impl<T>& operator*=(const Point_impl<U>& rhs) {
        x_ *= static_cast<U>(rhs.x_);
        y_ *= static_cast<U>(rhs.y_);
        return *this;
    }

    template<typename U>
    Point_impl<T>& operator/=(const Point_impl<U>& rhs) {
        x_ /= static_cast<U>(rhs.x_);
        y_ /= static_cast<U>(rhs.y_);
        return *this;
    }

    // for printing a point:
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Point_impl<T>& p) {
        return os << '(' << p.x_ << ',' << p.y_ << ')';
    }

private:
    T x_, y_;
};

The free functions operating with different underlying types could then be done like this:
template<typename L, typename R>
auto operator+(const Point_impl<L>& lhs, const Point_impl<R>& rhs) {
    // return the properly promoted Point_impl type deduced from if the
    // underlying types were added
    Point_impl<decltype(lhs.get_x() + rhs.get_x())> rv = lhs;
    rv += rhs;
    return rv;
}

template<typename L, typename R>
auto operator-(const Point_impl<L>& lhs, const Point_impl<R>& rhs) {
    Point_impl<decltype(lhs.get_x() - rhs.get_x())> rv = lhs;
    rv -= rhs;
    return rv;
}

template<typename L, typename R>
auto operator*(const Point_impl<L>& lhs, const Point_impl<R>& rhs) {
    Point_impl<decltype(lhs.get_x() * rhs.get_x())> rv = lhs;
    rv *= rhs;
    return rv;
}

template<typename L, typename R>
auto operator/(const Point_impl<L>& lhs, const Point_impl<R>& rhs) {
    Point_impl<decltype(lhs.get_x() / rhs.get_x())> rv = lhs;
    rv /= rhs;
    return rv;
}

And you could also add aliases for convenience:
using Point = Point_impl<int>;
using Pointl = Point_impl<long>;
using Pointf = Point_impl<float>;
using Pointd = Point_impl<double>;
using Pointld = Point_impl<long double>;

Example:
#include <type_traits>

int main()
{
    Point x(1,2);             // Point_impl<int>
    Pointf y(3.141f,6.282f);  // Point_impl<float>
    auto z = x + y;           // int + float => Point_impl<float>

    std::cout << std::is_same<decltype(z), Pointf>::value << '\n';  // prints 1
    std::cout << z << '\n';                                         // (4.141,8.282)
}

FCDF Files Supreme Court Brief on Behalf of Scholar Ryan T. Anderson in Support of Women's Right to Equal Opportunity and Privacy
FCDF attorneys filed yesterday an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of marriage and family scholar Ryan T. Anderson, PhD, asking the Court to reverse two lower court rulings that held Title VII's definition of "sex" includes "gender identity." The Court will hear oral arguments in R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. E.E.O.C. on October 8th, a case in which a funeral home was punished for not allowing a biologically male employee transitioning to a female to dress as a woman.
In his brief, Dr. Anderson argues that Title VII and other civil rights laws protect equal opportunities for women, and thus changing sex discrimination to mean discrimination based on transgender status undermines the equal rights of girls and women. Dr. Anderson also argues that only Congress, not the courts, has the power to craft legislation to address sexual orientation and gender identity.
Harris Funeral Homes has served grieving families in the Detroit area for more than 100 years. To ensure families focus on processing their grief rather than on the funeral home and its employees, the funeral home prohibits its employees from wearing flashy clothing and has a sex‐specific dress code. The dress code adheres to industry standards and complies with federal law.
In 2013, Harris' funeral director Anthony Stephens, a biological male, informed owner Tom Rost that he planned to transition to a female. Stephens had abided by the funeral home's the sex‐specific dress code since he was hired in 2007, but he now sought to dress like a woman and use the women's restroom. For the sake of his business and the grieving families, Rost did not accept Stephens's demand. He offered Stephens a severance package, which Stephens declined.
Stephens consequently filed a sex-discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), claiming Harris Funeral Homes fired him based on his "sex and gender identity." After investigating, the EEOC sued the funeral home under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which makes it an "unlawful employment practice for an employer … to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual … because of … such individual's … sex." The EEOC alleged that the word "sex" includes "transgender status."
The district court rejected the EEOC's contentions, but the Sixth Circuit reversed, concluding that Harris discriminated against Stephens because of sex by applying its sex-specific dress code based on Stephens's biological sex, rather than Stephens's gender identity. The court of appeals thus held that discrimination based on an individual's gender identity necessarily constitutes discrimination "because of such individual's … sex" under Title VII. Harris Funeral Homes appealed to the Supreme Court.
Although the federal government now supports Harris, the ACLU continues to push the courts to redefine "sex" to include gender identity.
"Pro-LGBT groups like the ACLU are asking the Court to punish small businesses like Harris Funeral Homes for relying on what the law says. Radically redefining laws to validate unnatural theories of sexual orientation and gender identity would punish small businesses for affirming biological reality."
Charles LiMandri, FCDF Chief Counsel
As stated in Dr. Anderson's amicus brief:
In general, embracing Respondents' theory would weaponize the Obergefell [v. Hodges] decision to treat "decent and honorable" disagreement about marriage as sex discrimination. 135 S. Ct. at 2602. It would treat disagreement about human embodiment as male and female as sex discrimination. And it would turn our nation's cherished civil rights statutes into swords to persecute people with the wrong beliefs about human sexuality. Antidiscrimination laws should be understood as shields to protect citizens from unjust discrimination, not as swords imposing a sexual orthodoxy on the nation. This Court should not treat biology as bigotry.
Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D., is the William E. Simon senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Dr. Anderson's research has been cited by two U.S. Supreme Court justices, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas, in two Supreme Court cases.
He is the author of When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment and Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom, and he is the co-author of What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense and Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination.

I'm not quite seeing this myself. If I add a new layer and drop a shape on the page with a shadow, converting it retains the shadow and I can also click the fx icon to further adjust the shadow.
Could you give me the steps or specify which fx you're using?
I added an photo by dragging it into the application window from my windows desktop. This created an "Image" layer.
In the context menu of that image I opened up the "Layer Effects" and added an "Outer Shadow" and an "Outline".
I selected the image and choosed in the menu "Layer" the menu item "Convert to Picture Frame".
This resets the Layer Effects. The "fx" icon is also gone then.
If I copied the layer before I can use "paste FX" to reapply the Layer Effects.
I use "Affinity Publisher 1.7.0 192 (Beta)".
@Chris B Does this help you to reproduce?
I can reproduce this following Steps steps.
But that's to be expected,because the shape is converted,iow the outline.
You need to see the PF as a clipping container.
You could use any shape for this only issue is that the fitting properties would be missing.
Not sure about that. I'm still surprised that this happens.
If you use a regular shape like a rectangle or any vector shape,the fx remain but if you first use an image layer,the applied fx are gone.
If one rasterizes the image layer you cannot convert to PF.
Your recipe lead me to reproduce it. What's happening is that the picture frame is becoming a clipping container as haakoo said. If you expand the layer you still have the fx applied to the image inside.
I think this is by design but I can see why you've raised this as I wasn't sure what to expect without double checking internally.
Okay, now as I understood what this does I know where the problem with this feature is.
To call the option "Convert to Picture Frame" is a straight-up lie as this is not what happens.
If the option would be called "Wrap into Picture Frame" I would have known what to expect.
A Image Layer never ever can't be converted into something else than a "Curve".
I strongly suggest to change the label of the menu item to reflect what really happens. Less confusion.
