Étienne Roth, né le  à Strasbourg et mort le , est un ingénieur chimiste et universitaire français, spécialiste des isotopes.

Biographie

Ingénieur de l'École Polytechnique, promotion 1942, Étienne Roth a conçu et toute sa vie perfectionné des instruments de mesure qui lui ont permis de faire progresser la recherche dans de nombreux domaines. Comme directeur de laboratoires au Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique (CEA) et professeur au Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Cnam), il a eu le souci constant de promouvoir ses collaborateurs, élèves et disciples et de les associer à la publication de ses résultats et découvertes.

Une carrière de chercheur et d'universitaire

C'est grâce à Marcel Prettre, son directeur de laboratoire à l'École de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon, qu'Étienne Roth est recruté en 1946 par Jules Guéron qui, revenant du Canada, faisait partie du noyau des fondateurs du CEA créé par une Ordonnance d' et placé, par De Gaulle, sous la direction de Raoul Dautry et de Frédéric Joliot. Avant de l'engager, Guéron l'avertit : . Étienne Roth se voit confier la spectrométrie de masse. Il s'empare du livre de Francis W. Aston qui date de 1939 et, en 1947, il est envoyé à l'université Mc McMaster d'Hamilton, près de Toronto, pour se former avec Harry Thode à la spectrométrie de masse et à l'analyse du deutérium. Au retour du Canada où il a construit deux spectromètres de masse, Étienne Roth monte le Laboratoire de Spectrométrie de masse dans le fort de Châtillon : il s'agit entre autres d'analyser l'eau lourde afin de préparer le remplissage de la pile Zoe  (« E » pour : « eau lourde »). En 1957, il devient chef de la Section des Isotopes Stables. Avec sa femme Françoise, une chimiste du CEA épousée peu après le démarrage de Zoe, Étienne Roth passe ensuite l'année 1957-1958 au Laboratoire national de Brookhaven aux États-Unis, où il travaille avec , théoricien des effets isotopiques - l'un des artisans du Manhattan Project.

En 1968, Étienne Roth est Chef des Services des Isotopes Stables au sein du Département de Physico-Chimie de la Direction des Matériaux et Combustibles Nucléaires au CEA, en même temps qu'assistant du Chef du Département de Physico-Chimie. Il devient Chef du Département de la Recherche, puis adjoint au Directeur de la Division Chimie. En 1980, il est Directeur de Recherches auprès du Directeur de la Division d'Étude de Séparation Isotopique et de Chimie-Physique.

Il entre au Cnam comme suppléant de Jules Guéron au cours de Chimie nucléaire. Dès 1959, il y devient professeur. De 1963 à sa retraite en 1991, il y est titulaire de la chaire de Chimie nucléaire appliquée à la science et à l'industrie.

Il fait partie de plusieurs commissions du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). De 1971 à 1974, il préside le Groupement pour l'avancement des méthodes physiques d'analyses. Il siège au Comité de Direction des laboratoires de Glaciologie en 1974 et, en 1979, de Chimie Macromoléculaire. De 1982 à 1985, il est en outre Vice-Président de l'Association nationale des docteurs ès-Sciences.

Autres activités scientifiques & personnelles
L'étude de la composition isotopiques des soufres volcaniques, en collaboration avec des volcanologues, est la première utilisation du spectromètre de masse qu'Étienne Roth construit en France à son retour du Canada. La mesure du volume exact de la grotte de Lascaux pour la Direction des Monuments Historiques, une preuve certaine de la non-chaptalisation du vin demandée par les services du Trésor, des progrès décisifs de la paléoclimatologie par l'analyse des couches concentriques des grêlons et des couches des glaces polaires - car la composition isotopique de l'eau varie selon les conditions de sa précipitation - résultent des intuitions et recherches d'Étienne Roth et de ses équipes.

En sont issus, de même, la mesure du débit cardiaque au lit des malades en collaboration avec des médecins des hôpitaux, des progrès sur le dessalement de l'eau de mer, la détermination de l'origine du cuivre présent dans les statuettes de Mésopotamie en collaboration avec les Musées de France, ou encore, pour aider les constructeurs automobiles, la mesure des hydrocarbures aromatiques que contiennent les gaz d'échappement. Étienne Roth est crédité de l'introduction en France d'une discipline nouvelle, la Géochimie isotopique - dans laquelle il dirige les travaux des premiers chercheurs hors CEA : Claude Lorius au CNRS et Claude Allègre.

De 1972 à 1980, Étienne Roth est investigateur principal à la NASA, étudiant les concentrations en deutérium de l'hydrogène des roches lunaires et tenant de résoudre ainsi la question de la présence d'eau sur la lune. À l'Union Internationale de Chimie Pure et Appliquée, il est de 1975 à 1979 président de la Commission des Poids Atomiques. Il représente la Société Française de Chimie à la Fédération Européenne des Sociétés Chimiques et préside le groupe chargé d'organiser, en 1987 à Paris, la sixième conférence EuroAnalysis. La même année, il est professeur en échange à l'Université technique de Vienne. Il est au comité de rédaction de plusieurs revues scientifiques dont Analytical Sciences au Japon et l'International Journal of Mass Spectrometry and Ion Physics.

En 1999, sur le modèle de la , Étienne Roth organise la Conférence internationale sur les isotopes stables et les effets isotopiques à Carry-le-Rouet. En résulte, l'année suivante, la création de la Société Française des Isotopes Stables, dont il est Président d'honneur. Son dernier article sur les isotopes : « Faut-il abandonner les poids atomiques standards ? » est publié dans la revue L'actualité chimique en .

Étienne Roth combine son expertise du nucléaire avec la réflexion militante au service de la démocratie française. Comme membre du Club Jean Moulin, que son beau-père Étienne Hirsch a contribué à fonder, il apporte sa contribution d'expert à l'ouvrage publié en 1963 : La force de frappe et le citoyen.

Il fait partie du mouvement Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs, fondé en 1957 pour maintenir le contact avec les savants soviétiques et œuvrer avec eux à la recherche opiniâtre de la paix. Il collabore à la revue du Mouvement Universel de la Responsabilité Scientifique (MURS) dont le comité comprenait, entre autres : Jean Dausset, Hélène Ahrweiler, Jean Bernard, Yves Coppens et Albert Jacquard.

Étienne Roth était connu pour son parler clair et sa capacité à joindre le geste à la parole. C'est ainsi qu'aux étudiants et auditeurs qui assistent à la conférence de clôture de son cours du Cnam, il administre une preuve de la non toxicité de l'eau lourde en en avalant, devant eux, un verre entier.

Des réalisations industrielles

Outre les instruments qu'au long de son existence il a construits pour affiner l'analyse dans de nombreux domaines - il fut le premier, par exemple, à permettre d'analyser simultanément l'oxygène 18 et le deutérium et ses appareils se vendirent au Canada - Étienne Roth a laissé des découvertes qui dépassent le cadre de la science. L'on citera la caractérisation du gisement d', comme réacteur nucléaire à l'état naturel, fonctionnant depuis deux milliards d'années.

L'œuvre industrielle d'Étienne Roth est en soi de conséquence. Le procédé français de production de l'eau lourde par échange isotopique dans un cycle ammoniac-hydrogène avait, dès 1967, mené le CEA à construire l'usine de Mazingarbe dans le Nord, en partenariat avec Charbonnages de France, puis conduit à la construction des usines de Baroda et de Tuticorin en Inde et d'Atucha en Argentine, face à la vive concurrence de procédés canadien et américain. Son procédé d'extraction du tritium de l'eau lourde employée comme modérateur des réacteurs nucléaires est exploité à l'Institut Laue-Langevin à Grenoble et à Darlington au Canada, dans une usine qui, à son achèvement en 1986, était la plus grosse installation civile de production de tritium au monde.

En 1969, Mazingarbe lui vaut l'un des grands prix de l'Académie des sciences : le Prix du Centenaire du Crédit Lyonnais décerné à Étienne Roth en même temps qu'à Bernard Dirian, son collaborateur du CEA et à Bernard Lefrançois, chef du service chargé de la réalisation de l'usine aux Houillères du Nord et du Pas-de-Calais, puis de sa mise en route à la Société Chimique des Charbonnages.

Distinctions

Étienne Roth était Commandeur dans l'ordre des Palmes académiques et Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur.

De son vivant même, en 2001, l'Académie des sciences a créé le Prix Étienne Roth du Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique : il est décerné chaque année à un chercheur de moins de 40 ans ou une équipe de chercheurs de moins de 40 ans d'âge moyen pour des travaux relatifs à la Géochimie et à la géologie isotopique.

Why Should You Invest in LED Bulbs?
Comments Off on Why Should You Invest in LED Bulbs?
Light-emitting diode bulbs are a marvelous lighting choice due to their energy saving capabilities. Compared to incandescent lightbulbs, ENERGY STAR bulbs consume 75% less energy and have a lifespan that is up to 25 times longer. They can last up to 25,000 hours; this can equate to thirteen years of use if the light is left on for five hours every day. Meanwhile incandescent bulbs only last 1,200 hours and compact fluorescents just have a lifespan of 8,000 hours. An investment in LED bulbs is money spent towards fewer lightbulb changes. You will ultimately have to spend less time going to the store to buy replacements and changing any burnt out bulbs. The U.S. government has passed laws to utilize only energy efficient lightbulbs by 2020, so it may be required to switch in the near future.
When they first LED bulbs entered the market, they carried a high sticker price but that is no longer the case. Now they are quite affordable and can be found for just five dollars each. As a bonus, power companies offer rebates for them as well. Incandescent bulbs on the other hand are only one dollar each. However, LED bulbs can provide a monthly savings of $1.25 per each bulb. So while the types of bulbs have different price points, the cost to invest in LEDs can be recouped in about three months. If you are turned off by the high initial cost, just know that they will eventually pay for themselves. Most American homes utilize forty lightbulbs, which would make the average rate of electricity for LEDs per kilowatt hour is 13 cents. If all forty lightbulbs were left on for five hours each day, the switch from incandescent to LEDs would save the homeowner $600 a year.
LED lighting has made many improvements since it was first released, and is offered in many different products. Switching to LED holiday lights for your winter holiday decorating is a smart choice for a variety of reasons. They are a safer option compared to incandescent decorative string lights. This is because LEDs operate at a cooler temperature, so the chances of burned fingers or combustion is reduced. They are also sturdier as they are crafted with epoxy lens instead of glass, making them more impervious to breakage than traditional bulbs. Another benefit is that a string of LEDs has the potential to last for up to 40 consecutive holiday seasons. Up to 25 string lights can be hooked-up together and they will not overload the wall socket. However, the most noticeable change will be felt by your wallet. The estimated cost of purchasing and using the LED C-9 string lights and LED mini-lights for ten seasons is $17.99 and $33.29, respectively. Meanwhile in the same scenario, the cost for incandescent C-9 lights is $122.19 and for incandescent mini-lights the cost is $55.62.
For a reliable local electrician, the only answer is Rose Brothers & Sons Electric. We offer electrical contracting services at the residential, commercial, and industrial level. You can trust that we will provide extraordinary customer service, due to our numerous positive reviews on Angie's List and an A+ grade rating by the BBB. We are located in Walton, KY to serve Cincinnati and Northern KY. Call us today for your next electrical project.
If your electrical bill is higher than normal and doesn't seem quite right, a faulty electrical meter could be the culprit. Rose Brother's & Sons of Northern Kentucky can help you determine if this is the real issue and guide you through getting the problem fixed.
If you have noticed unusual energy bills, one way to test to see if you have a faulty electrical meter is to check it every day. Note the reading on your meter for 7 days straight to see if your daily consumption is consistent. If this does not give you the results you wanted, turn off and unplug everything in your home and see if there is any type of output on the meter. If you are on a time-of-use tariff, you should be able to check the clock on your meter and look for electrical rate changes. Make sure the schedule is consistent and seems normal compared to the time of day you are checking. An energy monitor is another great way to discover if your meter is acting up. Monitors allow you to view your energy use in real time making it much easier to find a discrepancy.
If you can't find a problem by yourself, call a professional for a meter testing to make sure everything is as it should be. Contact your electricity company and talk to them about what you are concerned about. Electricity suppliers are required to test your faulty meter on-site and perform a basic check. If their findings are inconclusive or not as you expect, you can have the meter tested at a private facility of your choosing. A private test will cost you money out of pocket and will only be refunded if there is a conclusive report that your meter is faulty. Your electric company may charge you for the cost of installing and removing a temporary meter and you should ask how much this will cost before you have a private test performed. If your meter does not have a problem, this will not be refunded.
If your private testing facility discovers that there have been faulty readings, your electrical company will replace your meter and refund you the money you have lost. If you have been overcharged every month, your supplier is required to refund you the money during the period in which your meter was faulty. If your test determines that you are being undercharged, which is also likely, your supplier should not charge you for more than 12 months of charges.
If you suspect a problem with your meter and are ready to have a professional test, contact Rose Brothers & Sons today. Serving all of Greater Cincinnati, Southern Indiana & Northern Kentucky, including: Florence, Ft. Mitchell, Villa Hills, Union, Ft. Wright, Hebron, Burlington, Covington, Erlanger, Independence , Ft. Thomas, Newport, Owenton, Park Hills, Cold Spring, Edgewood, Walton, Dry Ridge, Verona, Crittenden, Sparta, Alexandria, Glenco, and Williamstown, our experienced team can help you discover what is wrong and put your mind at ease. With an A+ rating from the BBB and over 45 years of combined experience, Rose Brothers & Sons is the best choice you can make.
Tips for Spring Energy Savings go hand in hand with normal spring-cleaning. By taking a few extra minutes to think about energy efficiency and what small changes you can do to increase your energy savings, you'll be ready for spring in no time. Here are a few home maintenance tips to get you started.
Today I started my spring-cleaning with my ceiling fans. Not my favorite job I have to admit. One of the first things I do each spring is make sure my fans are working properly. This includes changing the direction of the airflow so that warm air is drawn up. This helps cool the room and ensures constant air flow. Having dust free fans not only helps with air quality but also helps your fans work better and last longer.
Make sure you have your HVAC unit serviced if you haven't done so. Some things you can do yourself like changing filters. This does not replace the need for a routine maintenance to ensure your air conditioner is ready for the new season. Clean around the outdoor units as well to remove debris and leaves leftover from fall.
Now is a great time to make sure your windows and doors have no leaks. Keep the track around your sliding glass door clean to prevent leaks in the seal of the window. Consider purchasing new window treatments or drapes to help keep the cool air inside this spring and summer. This can save you a lot on your heating and cooling bill.
With the warmer weather comes the need for more showers. Make sure you have a good working fan in your bathroom and use it the recommended amount of time. Adding a timer to the fan will ensure you and your guest leave it running for 15 min. after each shower. Attic ventilation is equally important if not more so. An attic ventilation system will draw cool air up through the house. This can replace running the air conditioner during mild weather and runs at a fraction of the cost. Attic ventilation can also lower your heating bill in the winter.
As part of your spring home maintenance, clean the coils around your refrigerator and remove pet hair and dust from appliances. Air should be able to circulate freely around condenser coils. This will help your electric appliances to work more efficiently and lower your electric bill while helping ensure your appliance lasts the full life expectancy. Refrigerators use over 10% of your household energy. That's quite a lot when you think about it. Make sure your refrigerator is in good working condition and has a good seal to lock in the cold. Whenever you purchase a new appliance or air conditioner make sure it is energy efficient and has the energy star seal. Look for frayed chords and small appliances that need repaired or replaced and go ahead and make the switch.
If you have questions about our tips for spring energy savings or you would like a home energy audit to determine areas where you can save money, call Rose Brothers and Sons Electric. We do electrical maintenance and repairs if you need them. We also do electrical upgrades and installations.
Open all south facing window coverings to allow the sun to warm your house naturally in the daytime.
Cover drafty windows with tight fitting plastic. Select energy efficient window treatments the next time you replace your blinds or shades. Consider installing storm windows, which can save you 25% to 50% on heat loss through your windows.
Set your thermostat to the lowest setting you can tolerate during the day. Wear warm clothing to stay warm. At night lower the thermostat 10 to 15 degrees more for savings of up to 10%.
Seal Leaks around windows and doors using weather stripping or caulk. Find and seal leaks around pipes, gaps around the chimney and fireplace, gaps around recessed lights, and leaks in the unfinished spaces in cupboards and closets.
Fall maintenance is a preventative way to prepare your home for winter and avoid winter time home repairs. Your HVAC technician will make sure your heating system is clean and well lubricated: filters and vents that need changed or cleaned will be taken care of. Now is a good time to inspect the furnace, chimney, ducts and pipes for leaks, cracks or needed repairs. Insulate pipes, sweep the chimney, and cover your AC unit to get ready for colder weather.
Change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detector. If you don't have a quality smoke or carbon monoxide detector system, we can help with installation.
If you leave your chimney flue open all the time, you are losing heated air. It's like having a window open in your home. Close the chimney flue after you've had a fire. Traditional fireplaces are not too effective when it comes to heating your house. Unless you have a newer fireplace insert you could be taking warm air from your room and simply sending it up the chimney. A better option to keep some of the heat in is to open a window near by about 1 inch. Close the doors to the room and turn your heat thermostat down to 50 or 55 degrees. This allows more of the heat to come into the room. Traditional fireplaces have been banned from new construction in some places because of the air pollution they cause. You can save on your utilities by using your fireplace properly, adding a new insert or closing the flue between uses. For more information visit the Energy.gov website about fireplaces and fireplace inserts.
One of the easiest ways you can save on electricity is by turning appliances off when you're not using them. It is estimated over 3.5 billion dollars are wasted because most people leave computers and other appliances plugged in when they're not in use. Using a power strip is the easiest way to save electricity from being used this way. Simply turn the power strip off when you're not using the computer or appliance. This one simple step can save on your electric bill.
It is no coincidence that older houses and appliances use more energy. If you are wondering how to save on your Utilities this winter, consider upgrading your electricity or replacing older appliances with newer more energy efficient products. You'll see savings right away.
If you are concerned about how to save on your Utilities this winter, contact Rose Brothers and Sons Electric and ask about ways you can ensure your electrical system is working properly and not wasting energy. A programmable thermostat may be an option that will help you keep your heating temperature under control. We would love to help you find ways to lower your heating costs and electric utilities.

This was what one of my best friends told me when we were discussing our personal beliefs. As an atheist, he has told me multiple times he believes in science more than he will ever believe in God. And unfortunately, this is an idea that is becoming more and more popular with the more scientific developments we make.
It's hard to remember what our lives were like before science monumentally changed our everyday lives. Before we held technology in our back pocket, before we were able to save thousands of lives by obliterating diseases, even before we knew the sun was the center of our universe, faith was the only thing that humans used to explain phenomena. That is until science helped us explain some of those occurrences.
Now, because we live in such a parallel world compared to then, it's easy to see why we doubt God. This is especially prevalent for teenagers growing up in a world more surrounded by science than ever before, who ask themselves whether or not there is room for both science and faith.
So let's answer it: Does science prove that there is not a god?
There are hundreds of natural occurrences around us that help me believe the world, as well as every person, was put here with a specific purpose rather than just coincidence.
Earth is literally in the perfect spot for life to survive. Any closer to the sun and we would be too close for life to survive the heat, any further and we would be too cold to live and water would freeze. The moon's location acts as a buffer for large meteors and Jupiter is just close enough to attract larger rocks into its atmosphere rather than ours. Any change in our distance and the world wouldn't be able to contain water, vegetation or life.
This is why we haven't found any other planet as spectacular as ours. And it doesn't seem like earth was simply lucky enough to be perfect for human beings. Whether or not you believe in the Big Bang or the literal seven days in Genesis, it is hard to argue that we were simply formed so perfectly by chance.
Each individual was made with a specific purpose in mind. In fact, it's pretty demeaning to insinuate that we were all just a product of chance. Every human on the planet has their own genetic code completely different from anyone who is living or has ever lived. Our behavior, emotion, thought process, even our personality is different from anyone because we have a soul that was made in the image and likeness of God. We have a soul that makes us an individual with a specific purpose for this world.
There is a reason why some of the most amazing minds in scientific discovery are and were Catholic. They knew that what they were discovering was not meant to undermine God, but to show his work on a greater scale. There is a reason why the Catholic Church and Pope Francis allows for belief in evolution and the Big Bang Theory.
Biology, chemistry, zoology, environmental science, physics and everything else has given us the opportunity to change our lives for the better and explain how God created us. God gave us the free will to explore our world freely which is what science is. This is also why faith is so important. Faith is supposed to be believing without seeing. Just because some say that science and advancement means there is no God does not make it true.
In the end, there will always be people who say that God is disproven with every discovery, but science can never truly do that because of faith. Faith is not something you can dissect. You cannot put it under a microscope and see what it is made of. Knowledge is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you can see how our world works and just how amazing it is. But on the other hand, you also doubt whether or not it has always been like that or if it was caused by someone. Knowledge only takes us so far; faith has to pick up at one point.

Excellent course that provides a good introduction to more advanced algorithms that build on those presented in part 1 of the course. Thank you Professor Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
QZ
This class is amazing. If you follow this course schedule strictly, and finish the homework and interview questions, you are gonna to learn a lot of algorithm thinking methods.
Maximum Flow and Minimum Cut
In this lecture we introduce the maximum flow and minimum cut problems. We begin with the Ford−Fulkerson algorithm. To analyze its correctness, we establish the maxflow−mincut theorem. Next, we consider an efficient implementation of the Ford−Fulkerson algorithm, using the shortest augmenting path rule.

. So now we've got a general scheme for computing Max Flow's Min cuts and the
proof that they are equivalent. Next what we need to do is look at an analysis of
the, cost of computing things to try to figure out, specific, efficient ways to
compute, augmenting paths. So we already saw how to compute a Min cuts So we'll
just worry about doing the Max flow. To find an augmenting path. Well there's lots
of ways to find an augmenting path. any graph search is gonna work. so let's just
start with BFS for example. so if word focusing terminates, that means there's no
augmenting path. Does it always compute our Max slow? Yes, we showed that. and
well that's if it terminates. does it always terminate? Does it oscillate back
and forth? Well, it's a little more work. to show that it does always terminate. if
you have to, a few other conditions. So for simplicity, we assume that each
capacities are integers or there's other things that can be done with a choice of
augmenting paths and maybe we'll come back to that. But to figure out how many
augmenting paths there are, that's the key that requires some clever analysis. and
there's been a lot of different schemes studied to try to understand a way to
first find the paths cheaply and then decide to try to see how, many, how we can
limit the number of augmentations. so, let's look at a, at an important special
case. And it's true in lots of applications. where the edge capacities
are integers, between one and some, big maximum U. and, a lot of the things that
we talk about work when edge capacities are, are, are real numbers. But let's just
talk about this case. so one thing to notice in that case, is that our Ford
focus and method always keeps an integer value of flow We never take half a flow
unit and put it through an edge. So it's always integer valued, cause the flow on
each edge of the integer, capacities are integers and so everything stays to be an
integer. every, every augmentation either increases or decreases by the bottleneck
capacity, which is always an integer. s o, one thing that's definitely true is you
only augment if you're gonna increase the flow. you have to augment. You wouldn't
augment if you couldn't augment by at most one. so it's definitely true that the
number of augmentations is less than or equal to the value of the flow. . So
there's what's called the integrality. Integrality theorem that is important for
some applications and we'll come back to it, that says if there exists an integer
valued Max flow and Ford focus finds so it's and waving a little bit to talk about
that but we'll work with intergers and we'll be confident that we get to the
answer and so the proof of the Integraliy theorem is that it terminates in the Max
flow that it finds is integer valued and that's enough. So, but, just to get an
idea for what goes on, let's look at this bad case. Even when the edge capacities
are integers, you could have a lot of augmenting paths. And we want to avoid
this case. So look at this network here, where we have S and T. And we've got two
big capacity edges coming out of S and two big capacity edges coming into T. And then
we have just a little edge of capacity one going between those two intermediate
vertices. here's what could happen. so, in the first generation we could decide that
we wanna push flow along the path that goes across the middle. Now we're gonna
look in a lot of different schemes for, finding augmenting paths, so, maybe, a
scheme says, if we have a choice, let's take, as longer path as we can find. And
that, so, in this case, that's what it'd do. There's another augmenting path that
just goes from S to the left vortex down to P, but the algorithm, say, chooses this
one So we have an algorithm that chooses this one So that increases the flow by one
but then the problem is, maybe the next time, we make that middle edge a backwards
edge and so now we go through and increase the flow by one along that edge and now we
have a total flow of two and then maybe we alternate between these two schemes.
Increment by one in the left, increment by one in the right. and it 's gonna take 200
iterations. to finally get to the Max flow. whereas a different algorithm might
have gotten it done in two iterations and a hundred's not so bad, but maybe these
weights are a billion or something. It would take a billion iterations. So that's
bad news. Now that's too slow in algorithm. We want to try to avoid that.
now there's an easy way to avoid that and that's to use the shortest path or in
other ways to use the farthest path, the one you can push the most flow through.
that's just an example of the kind of pitfall that you wanna avoid and try to
come up with an algorithm for choosing augmenting paths in Ford Fulkerson Now the
performance of the Ford Fulkerson in algorithm is gonna depend on the method
used to choose the augmenting paths. here's listed four easy ways to pick
augmenting paths and they're pretty easy to implement. They're very similar to
Dijkstra's algorithm or Prim's algorithm and others that we've looked at. But they
lead to a different number of augmenting paths, depending on the network. So for
example, you could decide, let's use the shortest path. So that's just the
augmenting path with the fewest number of edges. and that's just, breath for a
search, essentially in the graph that ignores the full forward and empty
backward edges. now it's been proven that, there's no network for which the algorithm
uses more than one-half E times of E paths. so at least that's an upper bound
that shows that it doesn't have this bad performance involving the capacity. I want
to emphasize that this is a very conservative upper bound on the number of
paths used. in an actual network it might not use anywhere near that number of
augmentations. Another example is the fattest path. so that's the augmenting
path, with maximum bottleneck capacity. And again, that one is pretty easy to
implement. it's very similar to our implementations of Dijkstra and Prim's
algorithm and we'll see in a minute. And again, it can serve of upper bound on the
number of paths taken by that algorithm, is the number of e dges times the log of
product of edges and capacity. but again, that's a very conservative upper bound,
and in the real world it might only take a few, augmentations to computing max flow,
using that method. Or you could use a random path which again is easy to
implement, and randomized graph search. or depth-first search. now these conservative
upper bounds are useful, but in real world networks, these algorithms are going to
have running times that depend, really a lot on properties of the network. So
people use diffent algorithms in different situations and the fact is that, often, we
can get Max flow problems solved, even on huge networks with a relatively small
number of augmenting paths.

Q: Android - RoomDb - Entity inserted successfully not found on select query in another Activity I have an Entity(Kotlin code):
@Entity(foreignKeys = arrayOf(ForeignKey(entity = Agent::class, parentColumns = arrayOf("guid"), childColumns = arrayOf("agentGuid"), onDelete = ForeignKey.CASCADE)))
data class Client (@PrimaryKey
                   var guid: String = "",
                   var name: String = "",
                   var email: String = "",
                   var phone: String = "",
                   var address: String = "",
                   var agentGuid: String = "")

Here is respective Dao Class:
@Dao
public interface ClientDao {
    @Query("SELECT * FROM Client where guid = :clientGUID LIMIT 1")
    Client getClient(String clientGUID);

    @Query("SELECT * FROM Client where agentGuid = :agentGUID")
    List<Client> getClients(String agentGUID);

    @Insert
    void insertClient(Client client);
}

Here is the Background Task in which I am performing insert operation:
interface UpdateClientTaskResponseHandler {
    fun clientUpdated(client: Client)
    fun clientUpdateFailed()
}
data class ClientData(var client: Client, var documents: ArrayList<Document>)

class UpdateClientDataTask(val responseHandler: UpdateClientTaskResponseHandler): AsyncTask<ClientData, Void, Client?>() {
    override fun doInBackground(vararg params: ClientData?): Client? {
        params[0]?.let {
            val clientDao = MyApp.database!!.clientDao()
            //1: Check if client exists or not
            val client = clientDao.getClient(it.client.guid)
            if (client != null) {
                //TODO: to be handled
                // Update functionality
            } else {
                //2. Insert client
                clientDao.insertClient(it.client)

                //3. Insert all documents
                if (it.documents.size > 0) {
                    val documentDao = MyApp.database!!.documentDao()
                    documentDao.insertDocuments(it.documents)
                }

                return it.client
            }

            return null
        }
        return null
    }

    override fun onPostExecute(result: Client?) {
        result?.let {
            responseHandler.clientUpdated(it)
        } ?: responseHandler.clientUpdateFailed()
    }
}

I am using below code to insert the Entity:
public void confirmClient(View view) {
        // Creating client object
        Client client = new Client(clientGuid, name, email, phone, address, agentGuid);
        // Creating client data object
        ClientData clientData = new ClientData(client, documentsAdapter.documents);
        UpdateClientDataTask updateClientDataTask = new UpdateClientDataTask(this);
        updateClientDataTask.execute(clientData);
    }

On Success I am invoking below code to jump back to ClientActivity:
@Override
    public void clientUpdated(@NotNull Client client) {
        Intent clientsActivity = new Intent(this,ClientActivity.class);
        clientsActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP );
        clientsActivity.putExtra(IntentKeysKt.getShouldRefreshData(), true);
        startActivity(clientsActivity);
    }

My problem is - When I fire select query in onResume() method of ClientActivity it is not returning the inserted Entity.
Below is the Code:
private void displayClients()
    {
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        boolean shouldRefreshData = intent.getBooleanExtra(IntentKeysKt.getShouldRefreshData(),false);
        Toast.makeText(this, "shouldRefreshData="+shouldRefreshData, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        if (shouldRefreshData) {
            //Load data from clients table
            intent.putExtra(IntentKeysKt.getShouldRefreshData(), false);
            ClientsRetrievalTask clientsRetrievalTask = new ClientsRetrievalTask(this);
            clientsRetrievalTask.execute(agentGUID);
        }
    }

@Override
    public void clientsRetrieved(@NotNull List<Client> clients) {
        clientsAdapter.refresh(new ArrayList<>(clients));
        recyclerViewClients.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        frameLayoutPlaceholderFragment.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    }

Surprisingly on next time app launch it shows inserted record. I am clueless please guid me.

A: You should use;

*

*Database.beginTransaction() before insert operation.

*Database.setTransactionSuccessful() after insert operation.

*Database.endTransaction() finally.

Sample code:
private static void insertData(AppDatabase db, List<ProductEntity> products, List<CommentEntity> comments) {
    db.beginTransaction();
    try {
        db.productDao().insertAll(products);
        db.commentDao().insertAll(comments);
        db.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
        db.endTransaction();
    }
}

Icardi wants to stay in PSG.
Karim Sebban
The former Inter striker out on loan to Paris Saint Germain reiterated his desire to stay in the French capital.
Mauro gave an interview after he scored a hattrick and offered an assist in the quarter-final of the Coupe de la Ligue against Saint-Étienne in Wednesday.
"I feel very good in Paris" said the Argentinian, reassuring fans and executives alike that the prolific striker is happy with his current situation. "When the season is over in May, we will sit down and talk. If I have a chance to stay, I will be very happy.", he added.
Icardi started this season in an impressive manner scoring 17 goals in 19 games and settling perfectly in Tuchel's system.
Inter wouldn't miss Icardi all that much, as Lukaku, who was selected as his replacement also fitted his coach's gameplan seamlessly, netting 16 goals and getting praise from Mister Conte after nearly every game.
PSG must pay the €65m option if they want to acquire Icardi permanently, that sum could prove vital for Inter in the summer mercato.

Faculty member earns national recognition
by Contributor | Apr 28, 2016 | Briefs
Laura Hartman, environmental studies professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, was selected as an National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Scholar from a national applicant pool to attend one of 23 seminars and institutes supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
The NEH is a federal agency that, each summer, supports these enrichment opportunities at colleges, universities and cultural institutions, so that faculty can work in collaboration and study with experts in humanities disciplines.
Hartman will participate in an NEH Summer Institute titled "Extending the Land Ethic: Current Humanities Voices and Sustainability." The four-week program will be held at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and is directed by faculty from Arizona State University. During the month, scholars will study with leading voices in the fields of environmental ethics, nature writing, and sustainability studies. Each scholar will develop a new course or work on a publication during the Summer Institute.
"It's a wonderful opportunity to meet scholars of Environmental Humanities from around the country," Hartman said. "I'm especially delighted that the institute will focus on Aldo Leopold, everyone's favorite Wisconsin conservationist and environmental philosopher. I know my students will benefit from what I learn at this institute."
Jim Feldman, director of the UW Oshkosh Environmental Studies Program, said the summer institute will enhance Hartman's background in the environmental humanities. This, he said, will further reinforce the liberal arts approach to environmental studies that serves as the center of the Environmental Studies Program.
"Through the ES degree, our students receive a broad-based education with content in the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. The NEH Summer Scholar program will put Dr. Hartman in touch with some of the nation's leading scholars in the emerging field of the Environmental Humanities. She will then bring the ideas and experiences that she has during the institute back to the classroom here at Oshkosh," Feldman said.
The 25 educators selected to participate in the program each receive a stipend of $3,300 to cover their travel, study and living expenses.
The approximately 521 NEH Summer Scholars who participate in these programs of study will teach more than 91,175 American students the following year.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to contribute calendar items, campus announcements and other good news to UW Oshkosh Today.

All Purpose EA Originals (Fe, Sea of Solitude, & A Way Out)
DS D Yellow Sparx Gems: 1565

[notice]does this tag work? Whatever. THERE'S A NEWLY ANNOUNCED GAME BEING MADE BY THE DEVELOPERS OF BROTHERS: A TALE OF TWO SONS CALLED "A WAY OUT!!"[/notice]
You know how Fox has Searchlight for indie movies like Juno? Imagine that, but in gaming...yeah, that's EA Originals in a nutshell.
Current EA Originals games: Fe, Sea Of Solitude, and A Way Out
A Way Out makes me believe that this is how co-op gameplay should be done: an entire package for two whole humans to experience together. Even if the dynamic between the two characters is wildly different, it'd be the thing that would make the game all the more exciting. I feel like I want to see these two characters actually work together to become friends, from people who just want each other out of their lives because they couldn't give two nickels to people who just ultimately would have the biggest beer fest of they wanted to.
https://www.ea.com/games/a-way-out
Fe makes me think of Journey meets Ori & the Blind Forest and Spyro, and you know, good on Zoink Games. It's already coming to look like a great game for people who want Spyro without Spyro.
http://www.fe-game.com/
So here, you're playing as a girl named Kay (did I spell that right?) who turned into some kind of hybrid of a monster and humanoid after straying too much into a sea of darkness, and she's co-existing with all of these creatures who they have implied have turned into monsters, but you're also finding out what happened to all of them, and that they will attack you at some times and leave you alone at other times. The hints are all underwater.
They say you can rise and lower the sea level as well, seemingly to give yourself leverage or allow yourself access to sunken areas. I guess it's somewhat like Mario meets a dark but cynical Bermuda Triangle? Seems a bit fishy (punnerific, dude), but hey, I'm down for this.
http://seaofsolitude.com/
EA Originals was made in the spirit of publishing Coldwood's Unravel (still luv u, Yarn Man ;3), and the promise with this program is to search for a few indie games every year. When they find one they see potential for, they offer the indie company a deal to have their game funded, marketed, and published under the circumstances that the developer itself is the only one who makes profit. I'm still not sure if EA's going to own any of their properties, because they didn't specify that, but the developers are let go at the end of each EA Originals project, so...I guess it can be used for good.
(I'll update the banner to have A Way Out soon)

...I'm not positive about this right now. Why? Because EA tried something like this before. The EA Partners program to be specific. Most of the games that came out of it were largely unsuccessful and led to EA swallowing up some of it's supposed "partners". In addition, it took an anticipated game (Overstrike) and through terrible focus testing turned it into the boring, lackluster, one-dimensional FUSE.
So I don't see this turning out for the better unless EA does nothing but market the games. And even then, EA is not very good with those decisions (see the articles stating their execs wanted to turn down Battlefield 1 for something more like Infinite Warfare).
Congrats! You wasted five seconds reading this.
Fe looks really pretty~ I'm pretty excited for it, tbh.

And I'm aware of the thing about Fuse and the fact how Andrew Wilson originally turned BF1 down because of him thinking that kids may not know about WW1 because of most big shooters being sci-fi shooters these days and how they'd mostly only be interested in those sci-fi shooters. They thankfully have Titanfall 2 coming out to satisfy that demand on their behalf.
Seeing how Fe is another indie game seemingly made with heart though, I'm willing to give this new initiative a shot. Even though Unravel wasn't under this program, EA handled it well enough to be well-received, which is why they made this new initiative to begin with. You have to make mistakes to learn from them, you know, and EA's one of those companies that's trying to embrace feedback as much as they can these days. Just look at their Twitter replies.
Ikr?
Unraveled was poorly design as a video game, so I doubt Fe will be any better. EA is going to do this yearly. A nervous Scandinavian guy is gonna be up on stage to show off some emotional indie game about love and communication and all that stuff, followed by a sudden blast of music (Danger Zone for Plants vs Zombies 2 and the Star Wars theme). Eventually, the ones of EA Originals will be chewed up and spat out by EA just like with Bullfog, Origin Systems, Pandemic, Maxis and soon Visceral Games.
Unravel's at least a better game than anything EA's shoved out in a while. I loved playing it, even if some of the levels were a bit confusing because of the overdone graphics (you gotta put an emphasis on nature with this type of game if you want Yarnie to go through nature itself, for one).
But really, about the studios thing....do you know what happened to RedOctane (Guitar Hero), Neversoft (Tony Hawk), Radical Entertainment (Simpsons Hit & Run, Prototype, and Crash Tag Team Racing), Bizarre Creations (Blur and Geometry Wars 1 & 2), and Sierra (first company to make CD PC games and made King's Quest)? Even though Sierra was revived as an indie games publisher, it's come to the point where they're not really acknowledged anymore. EA's not the only one who sucks up companies, you know.
And really, it could be worse...it could be Konami.
Activision and Konami are just as scummy. Don't get me wrong but I'm just saying don't get excited because any promising game and developer under EA will be chewed and spat out because that's the EA way.
I'll be excited if I want to be, thank you very much.

Fe looks like an interesting title i might play it. Where is coming out? On Console,VR, whatever!?

This game is most likely going to be for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Origin). I unfortunately don't have any of the former two, but I now have more than a dozen games on Origin thanks to On the House. Hell, they actually gaveaway Need for Speed: Most Wanted at one point. You should've been there, man.
I seriously wish I can find more fan art on deviantART, but here's a little something else to let you guys know that the game's still happening:
Damn thing looks awesome, eh?
And this: http://crashlanded.co.uk/unrav...stery-of-fe.php
EA's collaborated with JO-MEI GAMES to bring you Sea Of Solitude! I was kind of bummed that they didn't show any footage of that game during the Switch presentation, considering that the deal was struck before the event, but hey, they're broadening their indie space, so it's a...well, we'll see if it's a win in the future.
That actually looks really cool. Now I have yet another game to look forward to.

As a professional slate and tile roof restoration contractor with many years of experience, I am sorry to have to report that probably 50% of our workload involves the removal and replacement of faulty repair work on old slate and tile roofs.
Unfortunately, many contractors who have no business being on slate or tile roofs manage to convince property owners that they know what they're doing — when they don't. Even professional full-time roofing contractors may have little or no experience with slate and tile and simply view such roofs as modified asphalt shingle roofs, which they are not.
To make matters worse, competent slate and tile roofing professionals can be hard to find in some areas. The SlateRoofers.org website maintains a directory of contractor members of the Slate Roofing Contractors Association. Although we offer no endorsements of any contractors, our directory is a good place to begin looking for slate roofing professionals.
We also have a web page titled, "How to Tell if Your Contractor is a Neanderthal." This page is linked to a page of photos showing some examples of Neanderthal slate roofing work, and is worth a look. To avoid paying Neanderthals to deface your roof, make sure they have the correct tools (slate ripper, slate cutter, slate hammer, ladder hooks); make sure they do not walk on the roof routinely (they must use hook ladders), and make sure they know something about types of roofing slate (they should be able to identify the slate on your roof).
This is fundamental stuff for any slate roofing professional. The SlateRoofCentral.com website also displays information on the repair of both slate and tile roofs, and offers slate tools for sale as well as the Slate Roof Bible, a "must have" book for any slate professional or slate roof owner. Slateroofcentral.com also lists sources of new and used slates and tiles.
If you're having a new slate roof installed, beware. As a slate roofing consultant offering services nationwide, I receive a lot of calls from people with new slate roofs who are having major problems within the first ten years of installation.
Here's an example: Recently, a fellow called me from South Carolina. His family had scrimped and saved their money for years in order to re-roof their house with the world's finest roofing material — slate.
The roof was only seven years old and already dozens of slates were falling out. He was disappointed and frustrated, to say the least. There were a few reasons for the problems the roof was having: he had purchased an imported slate from a foreign country that had drilled nail holes without a counter-sunk hole for the nail head to sit into. This caused the slates to be "under-nailed," which forced the nail heads to rub against the overlying slates.
This problem was compounded by the main reason new slate roofs fail prematurely: the roofers who installed the slate walked all over it during installation. Acting as if the slates were actually asphalt shingles, the "Bigfoot" roofers tramped all over the roof, breaking and cracking the slates everywhere. Months or even years later the cracked slates fell out. Also, a variety or incorrect nails were used on this roof, which was also nailed onto a plywood roof deck (which is suitable for asphalt, but not for slate).
The man summed up his experience by saying that contractors who don't know what they're doing are giving slate roofs a bad name. He's right — the best roofs in the world are only as good as the installation.

Kourtney Kardashian Married Travis Barker In Las Vegas Just Hours After Walking The Grammys Red Carpet! [REPORT]
The couple reportedly wore their red carpet looks for the private wedding ceremony held at the One Love Wedding Chapel.
By Tweety Elitou

April 5, 2022 / 11:45 AM
UPDATE (9:45 AM ET): TMZ reports, "a source at the chapel where they had the ceremony tells us they'll only perform it with a marriage license, but a source close to Travis and Kourtney tells us they hadn't gotten a license, which wouldn't make it legal."
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are officially married! According to People, the couple tied the knot shortly after making their red carpet debut at the 2022 Grammys, held in Las Vegas. The big news comes months after Barker proposed to Kardashian in Montecito, California.
The private wedding ceremony reportedly took place at 1:45 a.m. on Monday at the One Love Wedding Chapel, where the couple wore the same designer fashions from the star-studded award show.
"I didn't know who it was until they pulled up," One Love Wedding Chapel owner Marty Frierson revealed to the media outlet. "I advertise as 24-hours but they wanted to make sure I was still there. They paid and they requested Elvis Presley, that was mandatory. I called back 5 minutes later and was like, I got an Elvis, and there they were."
Frierson continued, "They came, got married, tossed the bouquet in the driveway, and danced to Elvis. They showed a lot love and had a lot of fun."
FYI: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker confirmed their relationship status with an Instagram post back in February 2021. Since then, the lovebirds haven't stopped showing their PDA—even sharing a kiss on Sunday night's red carpet!

Fiskardo in Kefalonia. Restaurants. Accomodation. Sailing.
Fiskardo, about 50 kilometres north of Argostoli, is the only village on Kefalonia that escaped undamaged from the earthquake. The village is almost intact, most of the old Venetian houses are still extant. When one see how nice it is in Fiskardo one curse the earthquake, this is how beautiful all the villages on Kefalonia could have been.
Many think that Fiskardo is the island's most beautiful village, there are even those who think it is the whole archipelago's most beautiful village. When I first came to Fiskardo, I did it by ferry from Lefkada, we were greeted by an adorable sight. One of my travelling companions said with a sigh: "This is the most beautiful spot I've seen in Greece".
Fiskardo seen from the ferry to Lefkada.
And it is from the sea that Fiskardo shows its best side. It is easy to get enchanted when the boat glides into the picturesque port filled with sailboats and fishing boats, in front of you is a long seductive promenade lined with pastel-coloured houses with red tiled roofs and on the hill behind the village grows a forest of green cypress trees.
If you flew directly to Kefalonia, it is for that simple reason difficult to arrive by ferry from Lefkada as we did, but do not worry, there is a solution to the problem, there are several companies in the port that hire out small motorboats that you can chug around with, then you can take the opportunity to experience the beautiful approach of Fiskardo.
The best beaches close to Fiskardo are Emblisi and Foki.
Thanks to, or because of, its outward beauty, Fiskardo has gone from being an idyllic fishing village into a full-fledged jet set village. Fiskardo is visited by celebrities from all around the world, well, maybe not the whole world, but in any case from the Western World. Leonardo Di Caprio, Tom Hanks and George Bush Sr. are just some of the celebrities who have been here. The quaysides and bay outside tend to be full of expensive yachts. If you are going to sail here with a private yacht, you should arrive early to even find a place to moor.
There are plenty of sailboats in Fiskardo.
Celebrities usually mean the same as expensive. Fiskardo is no exception. The prices are among the highest I have experienced in Greece. But luckily there are exceptions. When we were here last we were going to eat Greek salad for lunch, the prices fluctuated between 8 € and 12 €. In other words it pays to compare prices.
If you go by private vehicle to Fiskardo, you can choose between two distances. One that goes via Myrtos and Assos, and the other that goes via Agia Efimia. Most come via Assos, and if you choose that way, I can recommend you to drive the other road back. The road runs through a scenic landscape that offers incredibly beautiful views over the sea towards Ithaca. Along the way you pass several small villages that are not frequented by many tourists, some of them are extremely beautiful, including Neochori which is the last village before you reach Agia Efimia.
There is everything from luxury hotels to cosy family pensions in Fiskardo. Unfortunately I do not have any specific tips. There are about 25 different places to choose from on booking.com.

Progressivism (United States politics)
John Bascom and the Origins of the Wisconsin Idea
by J. David Hoeveler
University of Wisconsin Press, 2017
Paper: 978-0-299-30784-4 | Cloth: 978-0-299-30780-6 | eISBN: 978-0-299-30788-2
Library of Congress Classification LA2317.B2H64 2016
Dewey Decimal Classification 378.0092
In the Progressive Era of American history, the state of Wisconsin gained national attention for its innovative economic and political reforms. Amidst this ferment, the "Wisconsin Idea" was popularized—the idea that a public university should improve the lives of people beyond the borders of its campus.
During his term as governor (1901–1906), Robert La Follette routinely consulted with University of Wisconsin researchers to devise groundbreaking programs and legislation. Although the Wisconsin Idea is often attributed to a 1904 speech by Charles Van Hise, then president of the University of Wisconsin, David Hoeveler argues that it originated decades earlier, in the creative and fertile mind of John Bascom.
A philosopher, theologian, and sociologist, Bascom (1827–1922) deeply influenced a generation of students at the University of Wisconsin, including La Follette and Van Hise. Hoeveler documents how Bascom drew concepts from German idealism, liberal Protestantism, and evolutionary theory, transforming them into advocacy for social and political reform. He was a champion of temperance, women's rights, and labor, all of which brought him controversy as president of the university from 1874 to 1887. In a way unmatched by any of his peers at other institutions, Bascom outlined a social gospel that called for an expanded role for state governments and universities as agencies of moral improvement.
Hoeveler traces the intellectual history of the Wisconsin Idea from the nineteenth century to such influential Progressive Era thinkers as Richard T. Ely and John R. Commons, who believed university researchers should be a vital source of expertise for government and citizens.
J. David Hoeveler is a Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He is the author of seven books, including Creating the American Mind, The Evolutionists, and Watch on the Right.
"Identifies the philosopher, theologian, and sociologist [John Bascom] as the originator of the notion of the 'Wisconsin Idea,' or the idea that public universities should benefit people beyond the borders of a campus." —Chronicle of Higher Education
"A satisfying biography for anyone interested in progressive politics, nineteenth-century intellectual thought, or university history." —Michigan Historical Review
"As we face contemporary privatization trends that undermine higher education as a public good, the book serves as a reminder of the powerful ideas that nurtured the land-grant college promises of democratic service and state engagement. Hoeveler has a magisterial command of intellectual movements that resist generalization and that demand readers wrestle with nuance and complexity." —History of Education Quarterly

The biggest mistake investors can make that risks them blowing up is concentration, especially coupled with debt/leverage. One would think that, at the time, a top 10 world's richest man would learn some of those lessons, but below is a must read on how not to invest. Especially once you have some money.
Lots of "smart money" lost a ton investing alongside Francisco d'Aconia, err, I mean Eike Batista.


The U.S. government is the latest to get behind Apple Pay as part of its commitment to encourage more secure payments technologies, the White House announced during its Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection at Stanford University on Feb. 13. Apple Pay will become available for users of MasterCard-branded Direct Express cards issued by Comerica Bank and cards that are part of the GSA SmartPay program issued by U.S. Bank.
No target date was given for integrating federal payment cards with Apple Pay, which would affect about 5 million citizens who receive Social Security or veterans benefits on the cards, and about 3 million SmartPay government purchasing cards. Among consumers 65 years or older who typically receive Social Security benefits, it's estimated only about 1 in 11 have the iPhone 6 model currently required to use Apple Pay. But another government link to Apple Pay could have more widespread impact. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced at the summit that the federal government will begin accepting Apple Pay at its national parks this fall.
In conjunction with the summit, MasterCard announced plans to invest $20 million in new security technologies. MasterCard later this year will pilot technologies that use a combination of biometrics, facial and voice recognition, and fingerprint-matching to authenticate and verify transactions. MasterCard also said it plans to roll out this spring MasterCard Safety Net, a new product to independently monitor and block specific transactions based on certain risk factors.
During the summit Visa also announced plans to expand its Visa Token Service, introduced last fall with Apple Pay, which prevents exposure of sensitive customer data by substituting credit card numbers with randomly generated tokens for each transaction. Other device manufacturers and technology companies will begin using the service this year through phones and tablets. In addition, Visa plans to extend its tokenization service to transactions initiated online with Visa Checkout.

Географски положај Египта је изузетно повољан. Синајско полуострво представља копнени мост који повезује Египат са Азијом. Средоземним морем повезан је са Европом, а Суецки канал представља важан трговачки чвор између два континента.

На северу је Средоземно море, на истоку Газа, Израел и Црвено море; на југу Судан и на западу Либија.
Максимална дужина север-југ износи 1.105 -{km}- и максимална ширина 1.129 -{km}-. Површина Египта износи 997,739 -{km²}-. Мање од десетине од укупне територије Египта је насељено и цивилизовано. Територија обухвата долину и делту Нила, одређен број земљу дуж Суецког канала који повезује Средоземље са Суецким заливом, рукавцем Црвеног мора.

Рељеф

Више од 90% територије заузимају пустиње, укључујући Либијску (тзв. Западну пустињу) на западу; део Сахаре, Арабијску пустињу (тзв. Источну) која граничи са Црвеним морем и Суецким заливом, на истоку. Либијска пустиња позната је као «велико песковито море» у коме постоји неколико депресија од којих је највећа Катара. Од пустињских оаза у Либијској пустињи најпознатија су: Барија, Дактила, Карија, Фарафра и многе друге.

На изразитом југу дуж границе са Суданом налази се Нубијска пустиња, огромна територија камених површина и песковитих дина. Синајско полуострво обухвата песковите пустиње на северу и огромне планинске венце на југу са застрашујућим врховима који се издижу и до 2.100 -{m}- изнад Црвеног мора. Планина Катарина (Џабал Катринах, 2,637 -{m}-) највећа је планина у Египту. Налази се на Синајском полуострву као и планина Синај (Џабал Муса) где је према хебрејској Библији Мојсије примио десет божијих заповести.

Река Нил улази у Египат из Судана и тече северно према Средоземном мору. Својом целом дужином од јужне границе до Каира Нил подсећа на дуги ходник, јер се изнад његове долине издижу високе стене.

Јужно од града Идфуа долина Нила ретко да достиже ширину већу од 3 -{km}-. Од Идфуа до Каира просечна ширина долине износи чак и до 23 -{km}- и већи део западне стране је искориштен за пољопривреду. Око Каира долина се стапа са делтом и заузима 250 -{km}- средоземне обале. Наноси алувијалног муља и другог речног материјала после поплава Розете, Дамијете и других река начинили су делту најплоднијом регијом Египта. Ипак, иако поплаве доносе плодан муљ [Асуан] чини све да смањи годишњи број поплава, због ерозије у приобалном подручју коју врши слана вода.

У Египту постоји много језера. Насер (језеро), огромни резервоар близу Асуана, простире се од Суданске границе. Низ плитких и сланих језера смештени су на крајевима делте према мору. Друго веће језеро је Биркат Кварун које се налази у унутрашњости тј. у пустињи северно од града Фајум.

Клима

Египат се налази у суптропском подручју. Климу одликују врућа и сува лета и топле зиме, тј. топли периоди од маја до септембра и хладни од новембра до марта. Највише температуре у оба периода условљене су северним ветровима. У обалним подручјима просечне температуре крећу се од максималне 37-{°C}- до минималне 14-{°C}-. Велика температурна варирања најчешћа су појава у пустињама од максималне дневне 46-{°C}- до минималних 6-{°C}- током ноћи. Током зимског периода температуре током ноћи падају и до 0º. Подручја са највећом влажности налазе се дуж средоземне обале, а просечна кол. падавина износи 200 -{mm}- годишње, док је просечна количина падавина у Каиру само 26 -{mm}- годишње, а у пустињским областима киша пада једном у неколико година. Количина падавина опада идући ка југу, док температура расте.

Камсин (сув и топао пустињски олујни ветар) јавља се у априлу и мају, а достиже брзину и до 150 -{km/h}-.

Воде
Нил је друга река по дужини на свету, дуга 6.497 -{km}-. Њен ток кроз Египат је дуг 1.550 -{km}-, а површина делте Нила је 24.000 -{km²}-.

Нил улази у Египат код Вади Халфе на његовој јужној граници. Тече кроз пустињу 1,5-2 -{km}- широком долином до Асуана. Од Асуана, пошто пређе своју последњу катаракту, Нил тече кроз долину која се шири од 5-20 -{km}- и протеже до Каира неких 700 -{km}-. Даљих 300 -{km}- до мора пролазе воде Нила кроз врло пространу делту, разгранату у много рукаваца. Делта завршава са лагунском обалом дугом 250 -{km}-.

Долину и делту Нила покрива изузетно плодно земљиште које је река хиљадама година таложила у слој дебео 10-12 -{m}-. Сваке године од августа до октобра водостај Нила порасте, река се излије из корита и поплави своју долину и делту. После повлачења оставља за собом муљ који обнавља плодност тла.

На територији Египта Нил не прима ниједану сталну притоку. Клима која влада над долином је изразито топла, пустињска. Само морска обала познаје кише. У долини Нила влада трајна ведрина. Вегетацијско доба уопште се не прекида; биљке непрестано расту и дозријевају. Те природне околности створиле су од долине Нила највећу речну оазу на свету. Колико се може из историјских извора закључити људи се већ 6.000 година користе тим тлом и поплавама Нила: граде канале, подижу насипе, извлаче воду, све до наших дана.

Осим плодног тла и нилске воде природа је обдарила Египат и значајним рудним богадством. На Синајском полуострву и у црвеноморском приморју има издашних извора нафте. У том приморју јављају се и фосфати. Западно од делте у средоземном приморју има камене соли.

CFPB declared unconstitutional, SEC ALJs are officers of the United States, and more in this issue of Consumer Financial Services Practice Digest
SDNY Judge Declares CFPB to be Unconstitutional
Last week, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York ruled in CFPB et al. v. RD Legal Funding, LLC that the CFPB is unconstitutionally structured and, thus, lacks the authority to bring claims under the CFPA. Judge Preska's decision has broad implications.
The CFPB Requests Reconsideration of Payday Rule Order
A legal challenge to the Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans Rule (the "Payday Rule") issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) has been stayed. Thus, the compliance date remains unchanged—for now.
As we noted previously, the Bureau is reexamining its recent Payday Rule, which became effective on January 16, 2017, with full compliance required by August 19, 2019. The two trade associations that had challenged the Payday Rule under the APA have since moved (jointly with the Bureau) to (1) stay their litigation and (2) stay the compliance date of the regulation.
Circuit Split Resolved – SEC ALJs Are "Officers of the United States"
In a long-awaited decision in Raymond J. Lucia v. SEC, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed the question of whether the SEC's ALJs are "Officers of the United States" and thus subject to the Appointments Clause. Holding that SEC ALJs are indeed such "officers," the Court resolved a circuit split that had been ripe for Supreme Court review. Most notable, however, was the narrow approach the Court adopted and the numerous questions it left unanswered.
Kathleen Kraninger Nominated for CFPB Director
President Donald Trump has selected Kathleen Kraninger for nomination to serve as the next director of the CFPB. Currently, Kraninger serves as the program associate director for general government in the OMB. While at OMB, she also served as the clerk for the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which included overseeing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security budget. Acting Director Mick Mulvaney will remain in place during the confirmation process.
Money Transmission in the Payment Facilitator Model
The payment facilitator model continues to grow in popularity in the merchant acquiring space as a way to board merchants quickly and with minimal friction.
