Bulkley - Nechako
1913: "Pilot Mountain Look-out Station and 1 mile trail." (Report of the Forest Branch of the Department of Lands)
July 1936: "Starting out two years ago with no previous knowledge or experience in radio, we are now operating two stations equipped with transmitters and receivers. These stations are the District Office at Prince George and Pilot Mountain Lookout. What we have been able to do it should, therefore, be possible to duplicate elsewhere. This is the second summer we have relied almost altogether on radio phone for communication with Pilot Mountain Lookout." (Forest Branch Newsletter)
September 15, 1936: "Present-day children get little thrill out of hearing radio originating on the other side of the world, but then Sam Marling took our short wave receiver to the Prince George Public School, the pupils got a great kick out of hearing Lookoutman Albert Biederman broadcast from Pilot Mountain Lookout. Probably it was Biederman's Scotch accent.
Biederman himself is no mean man. He recently found it necessary on the Mountain top to compete with a bear for his water supply. The bear thought he need a bath more than Biederman needed drinking water. When this argument got hot enough and Biederman thirsty enough he popped the bear off with a 22 and is now monarch of all he surveys from his tower." (Forest Branch Newsletter)
November 1, 1946: "We think it about time some tribute was paid to Albert Biederman, who is, we firmly believe, one of the best Lookoutmen in the Service. For the benefit of posterity, you may peruse the snaps of Albert and his Lookout. Albert Biederman, first went up Pilot Mt. Lookout when it was established in 1934. He had been in and around Prince George since 1909. Originally, Albert came from Switzerland, and after working on C.N.R. construction, took up a pre-emption near Reid Lake. Albert has spotted, and accurately located smoke as far away as 70 miles, and, on the area he commands, no smoke has ever gone unspotted. His knowledge of the country is really uncanny. Just so that there will be little or no doubt, he generally reports a smoke as 'bearing 291 degrees 30'. Probably northwest of Lot 2216.' The amazing thing is that he is generally right!
Albert has quite a pre-emption up on Pilot Mountain. In the course of his twelve seasons up there, he has toppled over about 12 acres of trees which were unfortunate enough to block his view. Not satisfied with 'tree toppling', Albert grows some vegetables as well. This gentleman farming is carried out wherever he can find any soil, and, as it occurs in patches, he may show you a dozen potato plants in one spot and then a few lettuce about 100 feet away. In all, there are about a dozen of these pint-sized vegetable gardens,
Albert's radio station is very useful for relay work and call "VX2Y standing by" is well known to all the Forest Service nets.
Probably he is fond of animals, but his friendship for them was strained to the limit by reason of a bear insisting on using Albert's water supply for a bath. For about a week Albert would industriously clean out his rock hole water supply in the morning, and then the bear would take a bath in it during the evening!
Albert had trouble with D.D.T. also. Finding the mosquitoes pretty bad this year, he sprayed his cabin thoroughly, found he couldn't stand the D.D.T. and so slept outside.
Albert demonstrates the keenness of his eye and brain when he comments, upon occasions, 'Vell, I saw Prince George in 1911 and, as far as I can see' 'It's not improved much.' Ouch!" (Forest Branch News Letter)
May 31, 1977: "Vandals have struck again. A B.C. Forest Service fire lookout tower on Pilot Mountain, an isolated spot 12 miles northwest of Prince George has been damaged by what appeared to be two or three vandals.
Ironically, the door to the lookout tower was unlocked and there was nothing of value inside. Deputy Ranger Don Thompson also said that the lookout tower is open to the public from early may to the end of September.
The vandals broke several windows in the tower made of expensive tinted glass to reduce glare. Thompson estimated a cost of $220 to replace the windows in addition to man hours and wages.
Lookout man, Greg Evans, occupies the tower from early May, or earlier if the fire hazard is high, to about the end of September.
Evans keeps a check on existing burning permits, new wildfires and campers burning without a permit and radios to the Forest Service office on Ospika if something is amiss.
The vandals also forced open a trap door to the tower and loosened a support bean.
Thompson said similar acts of irrational destruction have been reported in other lookout towers, in the Prince George area." (Prince George Citizen)
May 20, 1981: Vandalism damage caused to the lookout in the off season included a shotgun blast through a wall damaged doors and $110 panes of ¼ inch smoked glass. The only solution to help remedy this problem is to place a gate on the access road. (Prince George Citizen)

In 2015, Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited (Murray Goulburn) undertook a capital restructure that involved the establishment of the MG Unit Trust (Capital Structure), a special purpose funding vehicle listed on the ASX. The responsible entity of the MG Unit Trust is MG Responsible Entity Limited (Responsible Entity), a wholly owned subsidiary of Murray Goulburn. The board of the Responsible Entity is the same as the Board of Murray Goulburn.
The funds raised by the MG Unit Trust from external investors in an initial public offering of units undertaken in June/July 2015 were invested into Murray Goulburn through Notes issued by Murray Goulburn (click here for Note terms). Subsequent to the MG Unit Trust listing on ASX, the MG Unit Trust has acquired Convertible Preference Shares (CPS) (click here for Note and CPS terms) issued by Murray Goulburn as a consequence of the operation of Murray Goulburn's Shareholder Trading Platform. MG has announced that the Shareholder Trading Platform will cease to operate on 30 June 2018. The Notes and CPS each, as far as possible, carry the same economic rights as Murray Goulburn ordinary shares. At MG's 2018 EGM (5 April 2018), the board noted it intends to put the delisting of the unit trust to a unitholder vote at MG's upcoming AGM (expected October 2018). Further details of this vote will be posted to the ASX and under the 'News' section of this website.
The MG Unit Trust provides unitholders with an economic exposure to Murray Goulburn equivalent to the economic exposure of shareholders in Murray Goulburn. MG's board has stated an intention to wind MG up once all outstanding litigation is concluded, and this will include a wind-up of the MG Unit Trust.
Unitholders will be entitled to receive distributions equivalent to any dividends paid to shareholders in Murray Goulburn. Dividends on shares, and therefore distributions on units, will be determined by the Board of Murray Goulburn in accordance with the Profit Sharing Mechanism outlined in Section 6 of the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) dated 29 May 2015 (click here for PDS).
Units do not confer a direct interest in Murray Goulburn. The exposure of the MG Unit Trust and therefore unitholders to Murray Goulburn is only economic. Neither the Responsible Entity nor Unitholders will have any voting rights in respect of Murray Goulburn and will therefore not have control over the strategic and operational decisions of Murray Goulburn and will be unable to appoint or remove any directors of Murray Goulburn.
Shareholders of Murray Goulburn holding ordinary voting shares have the right to vote at general meetings of Murray Goulburn on strategic or operational decisions associated with Murray Goulburn's business and can appoint or remove any directors of Murray Goulburn. Further details on the rights attaching to shares in Murray Goulburn can be found at section 9.8 of the Prospectus dated 1 May 2015 (click here for Prospectus).
Distributions on units in the MG Unit Trust will be determined by the Board in accordance with the Profit Sharing Mechanism. As a general rule, the interim and final distribution determination dates coincide with the announcements of Murray Goulburn's interim and full year results. As MG progresses with the winding up of the company and the unit trust, the board intends to return capital to shareholders and unitholders.
You can view and change your personal unitholder details (including postal and email addresses, bank account details, Tax File Number, holding and distribution statements and communication preferences) and transfer units by contacting Computershare.

'What time's the final?' The All Blacks' Cricket World Cup dilemma
When they travel to Buenos Aires for their opening match of the Rugby Championship this weekend, the All Blacks will have one eye on the UK, namely Lord's, willing on the Black Caps in the final of the Cricket World Cup.
With last night's 18-run victory over India in Manchester, the Black Caps will now head south to London, awaiting the winner of tonight's showdown between Australia and England on Sunday.
Among the legions of fans supporting Kane Williamson and the Black Caps, will be none other than the All Blacks, many of who braved last night's late hours ahead of today's training in Auckland.
Fronting media this afternoon, Anton Lienert-Brown and Ben Smith revealed the All Blacks' support for their cricketing comrades.
"So good, last night I couldn't turn the telly off," Smith began.
"Obviously we had training this morning and just kept watching last night. It was awesome to see the boys get the job done."
"[It was] pretty inspiring stuff," added Lienert-Brown.
Boasting a number of former cricketers within the All Blacks' ranks, with Kieran Read and Jordie Barrett among those to have played representative age-grade cricket, Smith gave a surprising revelation to the group's biggest fan.
"I know Fozzy [assistant coach Ian Foster] actually stayed up last night.
"Fozzy watched the whole thing last night."
The only thing stopping the All Blacks from supporting the Black Caps this weekend will be the south American time zone, already having to contend with the time difference between New Zealand and the UK.
"When is the final? I'm sure we'll make it happen."
The All Blacks travel to Argentina this weekend, while the Black Caps play the Cricket World Cup final on Sunday night through to Monday morning NZT.

There are very many popular saying that describes continuous improvements. One of the most popular one that was stated by pat Riley states that "If you're not getting better, you're getting worse." the kaizen event is a very ideal technique that brings this statement into perspective. It ensures that an organization is moving in the right direction. However, the fact that you're not moving doesn't necessarily mean that you are getting worse. You can be stagnant and have things totally in control. The worst thing however is making a backward step. You should therefore ensure that you sustain and vigorously implement the process to ensure positive results.
Its main objective is to improve quality, increase level of production and ensure that workers are totally satisfied. You should note that all this should be done from the lowest level. It means that the method should be implemented from workers to management. The workers should be highly trained and well educated on how to implement the kaizen event or process. It should be contributive things where everybody is engaged in the process. The employees should work as a team and pitch any plan or idea that they think can work.
Allowing employees to pitch in ideas gives them a sense of satisfaction. It also makes them feel as part of the team that's contributing to the continuous growth. The ideas put in by the employees can be used to improve their areas of worker. You should note that all the idea should be considered irrespective of how big or small they are as long as they bring about a positive contribution. The employees are also allowed to implement the process by themselves once they.ve proven that they have properly understood the concept. This will enable management to save time that would have been used up on supervision.

Great Acting and Writing Lift 'Manchester'
Casey Affleck, Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester By the Sea
Casey Affleck (left) and Lucas Hedges in "Manchester By the Sea"PHOTO: CLAIRE FOLGER / COURTESY OF AMAZON STUDIOS AND ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS
Early on in writer-director Kenneth Lonergan's superb Manchester By the Sea, there's a flashback to a moment of pure innocence and fun — to better days — for the film's two main characters. During a carefree fishing expedition, Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) asks his young nephew Patrick (played at this point by Ben O'Brien) one of those leading "what if" questions: If you were stranded on an island and could choose only one person as your companion, the kind of person who would be able to keep his head and solve any problem that might arise, who would you choose? The playfully loaded question offers a choice between Lee himself and Patrick's father Joe (Kyle Chandler), who is also Lee's older brother and happens to be in charge of the boat.
The boy selects his father and accepts the good-natured ribbing from his uncle. The scene, unadorned by sentimental lighting or melodramatic musical cues, has the spot-on feel of an unforgettable memory that might stay with you until your dying day. Forget proof of life; this is undeniable proof of something far more elemental: love.
Critics long for films with such gentle and lingering impressions; each screening offers a new opportunity to be engaged on this level. I caught Manchester By the Sea on the first day of the Toronto International Film Festival; in fact, it was the very first screening I attended and it set a distinctive high-water mark.
Lonergan gradually dampens the warm enveloping sensation of that blanket of love, and then peels away layer after layer from Lee. We see him in the present, alone, working anonymously as a facilities manager, shoveling snow and tending to the plumbing needs of apartment dwellers. He's handy and good-looking in a quietly rugged way, so he attracts the attention of female tenants, but it is obviously unwanted. The love he once had for his nephew, and by extension himself, is long gone. Lonergan teases us with more glimpses into Lee's past, where he goofed around with his wife Randi (Michelle Williams) and his own children. They may not have had much, materially speaking, but again, there was evidence of an abundance of this carefree love.
And then, again in the present, Lee gets the news that his brother Joe has died, which draws him back home to Manchester, Mass., where apparently everything that was good in Lee's life was lost. He returns, ready and willing to do right by his brother, to make all of the necessary arrangements for his burial, and then beat another hasty retreat away from his buried pain. Everyone in town seems to lurk a safe distance away, watching and whispering about Lee, aware of his tragic past.
The reading of Joe's will forces Lee to recall that moment on the boat. He's been tapped by his brother to become the guardian of the now-teenaged Patrick (Lucas Hedges), a spirited and headstrong kid with a life in Manchester he has no desire to leave.
In a different film, the broadly scripted banter between Lee and his nephew would have, all too plainly, set the stage for some raucous sitcom-inspired conflict before settling down for a predictably heartwarming happy ending. Said iteration might have also given Lee a second shot at love in the form of a sassily sexy mother of one of Patrick's friends. Of course, such a film would not have been written or directed by Lonergan, an accomplished playwright whose films (You Can Count on Me and Margaret) also have been highly praised. Nor would such a film have featured Affleck as Lee.
How can I describe what Affleck brings to the character of Lee Chandler? To start, unlike his famous brother Ben, Casey Affleck is not a star of either the tabloids or conventional studio movies. He is far removed from the hero worship heaped upon the personalities that dominate entertainment news.
He is more of a character actor. On a deeper level, that label means he is free to disappear in the method antics necessary for a role like this. We never self-consciously catch ourselves "watching" him act. Affleck lives in every frame, carrying Manchester By the Sea along with him, toward a transcendent state of being that reminds us of our own moments of love irretrievably lost.

THE GUARDIAN ON THE NEW INCREASE IN CO2 EMISSIONS
Good news about renewables: but the heat is still on to cut fossil fuel use
New data shows global emissions are at a historic high. Political leaders must now consider imposing serious penalties
The Guardian, Sun 25 Mar 2018
For optimists, it was tempting to view three years of flatlining global carbon emissions, from 2014-16, as the new normal. We now know celebrations should be put on hold. Figures for 2017 published last week show global emissions from energy have jumped back up again, to a historic high.
The data from the International Energy Agency shows we still have much to do when it comes to stopping global warming. Three years ago experts cautioned that 2015's near standstill in emissions might be only a temporary pause before resuming the upward march as India and China developed. Those warnings were prophetic.
Global energy demand last year grew by 2.1%, more than double the rate in 2016, driven largely by Asia. The problem for the climate is that more than 70% of the growth came from fossil fuels. Gas was the fastest-growing fossil fuel. But even coal, the most carbon-intensive fuel, reversed two years of declines and was up by 1%, as coal burning in China, India and South Korea grew.
To compound matters, progress on energy efficiency slowed dramatically in the face of lower energy prices and weakening government policy. On the plus side, renewables were the fastest-growing source of new energy and had another unprecedented year. China added as much solar power in a single year as the total installed capacity across France and Germany. The US scored the steepest drop in emissions, despite Donald Trump's first year as president, as new renewable generation bloomed.
Indeed, with renewables records being broken seemingly every week – last weekend the UK set a new high for wind power – it is easy to think the fight has been won. But the IEA's work is a sobering reminder that stratospheric growth in renewables is not enough. Renewables put a brake on emissions but they don't stop coal, oil and gas from being dug out of the ground.
The most sobering figure in the agency's research is 81%: the amount of global energy that comes from fossil fuels. It's been about the same for the past three decades.
So, if the energy sector is still nowhere near compatible with the demands of climate science, and the goals set by nearly 200 governments in Paris three years ago, what do we do?
Despair is not an option, and there are reasons for hope. One is Beijing's self-interest in tackling air quality, which means coal plant closures and bans, and the promotion of electric cars. India, the coal industry's last great hope, has witnessed a faster than expected rise in solar power, squeezing out coal projects. Germany's new government finally has plans to tackle the country's outmoded reliance on coal. Globally, coal capacity will begin shrinking in 2022 at the current rate of retirements, according to a new report.
Arguably the brightest and most promising trend is that renewables are on the brink of being economically viable without government subsidies. In the UK alone, an estimated £20bn worth of wind and solar farms could be built without subsidies between now and 2030.
This year the UN is undertaking a stocktake of countries' climate plans and it should keep the IEA numbers at the forefront of its thinking.
But getting to the top of the carbon emission mountain and down again will not be achieved solely with more favourable economics and stronger government support.
Leaders must take the much more politically difficult decision to penalise fossil fuels. The means are many: economy-wide carbon taxes are an obvious one that many energy firms claim to support. Bans on extraction of fossil fuels are a more extreme example. We must vote for those politicians who are bold enough to do this. We must renew pressure on them to say no to dirty energy, as well as yes to clean energy. Only then do we have a hope of permanently reducing emissions.

Molecule mattress review
Medically reviewed by Deborah Weatherspoon, Ph.D., MSN — By Veronica Zambon on January 6, 2021
Molecule products
Mattresses and health
Medical News Today only shows you brands and products that we stand behind.
Molecule is a company that specialize in making mattresses that are cooling and restorative. Their mattresses are on the firmer side, which may suit people who sleep on their stomachs or backs more than those who sleep on their sides.
This article discusses who Molecule are, their products, alternatives, and why using the right mattress is important for a person's health.
Brand and reputation
Molecule is a mattress and bedding manufacturer that offers recovery-focused sleep products to help people maximize their health and performance during the day.
The company say that their research and development team works with engineers and the company's medical advisory board to select materials and designs to wick away heat and moisture while people sleep. They say this optimizes people's rest and overall wellness.
Reviewers tend to report that the company's customer service is excellent and that the mattresses are much firmer than they would have thought initially, supporting their aches and pains.
Other reviewers state that the edges are firm, preventing rolling and sinking and that the cooling features of the mattresses prevent them from overheating and sweating during the night.
However, Molecule mattresses have generated negative reviews as well, with some stating the mattress was too firm for them.
Molecule mattress products
All of Molecule's mattresses come with a 100-night trial, a lifetime warranty, and free shipping and returns.
Both models below come in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king sizes.
Please note, the writer has not tested these products. All information is research-based.
Molecule 1 Mattress
The Molecule 1 Mattress aims to aid recovery while keeping people cool during the night. This mattress has four different layers:
an Advanced Cover, which features heat and moisture-wicking technologies
a 2-inch (5-centimeter), open-cell memory foam comfort layer that provides pressure relief and extra airflow
a 3-inch (7.7-cm), three-zone dynamic response layer that targets and self-adjusts support for different parts of the body
7-inch (18-cm), firm support foundation to promote healthy spinal alignment and extra airflow and heat transfer
The materials that the company use are CertiPUR-US certified, which means they do not contain any ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, heavy metals, or formaldehyde and contain low levels of volatile organic compounds.
Reviewers state that this mattress is suitable for people who sleep in a mix of sleeping positions.
The Molecule 1 Mattress is available to buy online.
Molecule 2 Airtec Mattress with Microban
The Molecule 2 Airtec Mattress with Mircoban focuses on recovery and inhibiting the growth of microbes, leading to a more restful, healthful sleep.
This mattress contains five layers:
an antimicrobial advanced cooling cover that maximizes airflow and prevents the growth of odor- and stain-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew
1-inch (3-cm) recovery layer they claim promotes a person's proper cell function, increases oxygen consumption, and improves circulation
2-inch (5-cm) Airtec Advanced Core, which has open cells to maximize airflow
3-inch (8-cm) five-zone dynamic response layer that provides targeted and self-adjusting support for different parts of the body
6-inch (15-cm) Contourflo, a firm base support that promotes healthy spinal alignment and extra airflow and heat transfer
Molecule uses CertiPUR-US certified foam in the construction of their mattresses. This means that they do not contain any ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, heavy metals, and formaldehyde and only contain low levels of volatile organic compounds, helping maintain air quality.
Reviewers state that this mattress is suitable for partners weighing up to 400 pounds (181 kg) together and that the mattress provides support for back and stomach sleepers.
Other reviewers state that the mattress is quite firm, and some people may choose to purchase a mattress topper.
The Molecule 2 Airtec Mattress with Microban is available to buy online.
There are multiple mattresses that also offer cooling materials.
TEMPUR-Breeze Mattress by Tempur-Pedic
The makers of this mattress say it can keep people feeling up to 8° cooler during the night. It comes in soft and firm versions, and the company offer a 90-night trial, white glove delivery, and a 10-year warranty.
The TEMPUR-Breeze Mattress by Tempur-Pedic is available for purchase online.
Casper Wave
This mattress has three layers of perforated foam with cooling gel that helps prevent overheating, and each mattress is made from up to 121 recycled bottles.
The company offers free shipping, a 100-night trial, and a 10-year limited warranty.
The Caspar Wave Mattress is available for purchase online.
Layla Memory Foam Mattress
This mattress contains copper foam that may conduct heat away from the body faster than some other memory foam mattresses on the market. The company offers free shipping, a 120-night trial, and a lifetime warranty.
The Layla Memory Foam Mattress is available for purchase online.
The Pod Mattress by Eight Sleep
This mattress combines technology and traditional mattress manufacturing processes, allowing people to set the bed's temperature with an app to prevent overheating. A person can also use the app to track their sleep and biometrics.
The company offers free shipping and a 100-night trial.
The Pod Mattress by Eight Sleep is available for purchase online.
Health and mattress choice
It is vital that a person chooses the right mattress for their needs.
A mattress that causes back pain, overheating, or other aspects of a poor night's sleep, may result in an inadequate amount of quality sleep. This can then lead to adverse health effects over the short and long term.
Short-term health effects of inadequate sleep include being drowsy, irritable, and difficulty paying attention. Some people may also experience poor motor skills. These side effects should go away once people get adequate sleep.
Long-term health effects of inadequate sleep include an increased risk of:
cardiovascular issues, including heart disease and stroke
developing or worsening symptoms of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety
feeling more pain associated with certain health conditions, such as arthritis
Using a mattress that suits their needs may help prevent these short- and long-term health effects.
A 2015 systematic review suggested that most people benefited from a medium-firm mattress as this helps promote healthy spinal alignment, reduces back pain, and improves the overall quality of sleep.
Another 2015 study in older adults also found that medium-firm mattresses reduced musculoskeletal pain.
However, a 2014 guidance article from the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health suggests that people experiencing low back pain use an all-foam bed or a waterbed. The organization claimed these options were better at reducing the pain than other mattresses.
Molecule is a mattress-in-a-box company that specializes in cooling, restorative mattresses. Both of their mattresses are on the firmer side, which may be beneficial for stomach and back sleepers but may not be best for everyone.
Ideally, an individual should use a mattress that meets their needs. Using the wrong type of mattress can lead to inadequate sleep, which can have adverse short- and long-term side effects.

What is a conductor used for?
A conductor allows current to flow easily through it. Insulators don't allow current to flow through it. Electric charges are absent in insulator. Conductors are used in making electrical equipment.
What is a conductor in science simple?
Conductors are materials that permit electrons to flow freely from particle to particle. An object made of a conducting material will permit charge to be transferred across the entire surface of the object.
What is a conductor in science for kids?
Conductors are substances that an electric charge can pass through without difficulty. An electric charge cannot pass through an insulator easily. Different types of atoms make a substance a conductor or an insulator. All substances are made of atoms.
What is a conductor in natural science?
A conductor is a material that allows electric charge to move through it as an electric current.
What is a conductor used for? – Related Questions
What is conductor give example?
Conductors are those substances through which electricity can flow are called conductors. Insulators are those substances through which electricity cannot flow are called insulators. Some common conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver. Some common insulators are glass, plastic, rubber, and wood.
Which one is a conductor?
Copper is considered to be a conductor because it "conducts" the electron current or flow of electrons fairly easily. Most metals are considered to be good conductors of electrical current.
What is conductor and insulator in science?
In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.
What is a insulators in science?
insulator. / (ˈɪnsjʊˌleɪtə) / noun. any material or device that insulates, esp a material with a very low electrical conductivity or thermal conductivity or something made of such a material.
What are 10 examples of conductors?

Steel.
Iron.
Seawater.
What is a conductor vs insulator?
Materials that allow electrons to travel through, like copper wires, are called conductors, whereas materials that inhibit electron flow, like rubber, are called insulators.
How is a conductor charged?
The charging by conduction process involves touching of a charged particle to a conductive material. This way, the charges are transferred from the charged material to the conductor. This method is useful for charging conductors.
Is glass a conductor?
Glass, for instance, is a very good insulator at room temperature, but becomes a conductor when heated to a very high temperature.
What makes a conductor?
A conductor conducts electricity since it offers little or no resistance to the flow of electrons, thus leading to a flow of electrical current. Typically, metals, metal alloys, electrolytes and even some nonmetals, like graphite and liquids, including water, are good electrical conductors.
Why is conductor important?
It keeps an orchestra or a choir in time and together. But that's just the starting point. Most importantly a conductor serves as a messenger for the composer. It is their responsibility to understand the music and convey it through gesture so transparently that the musicians in the orchestra understand it perfectly.
How do we conduct electricity?
Why do we conduct electricity?
Our cells are specialized to conduct electrical currents. Electricity is required for the nervous system to send signals throughout the body and to the brain, making it possible for us to move, think and feel.
Is a water a conductor?
Water and electricity don't mix, right? Well actually, pure water is an excellent insulator and does not conduct electricity.
Is a human body a conductor?
The body is merely one large machine full of circuitry and electricity. Since practically 70% of the body is made up of water, it is considered to be a good conductor of electricity on average.
Why do I get electric shock when I touch someone?
The imbalance that is created at that time is static electricity. Those shocks when touching someone are nothing more than a current of electrons passing to an object with a positive charge to re-establish the electrical balance.
Why am I so static all of a sudden?
It is directly affected by humidity. Static increases when the air gets cold and humidity drops. To stay warm in your home, you turn up the heat, further adding to a decrease in humidity and increasing static. While static can be annoying and sometimes painful, there are some simple things you can do to reduce it.
Why do I keep shocking myself?
Static shocks are more common when it's cold and dry as it is harder for the charge to run into the air without moisture. Instead it builds up on our bodies. So, when you touch something like a metal doorknob or car door, those extra electrons will rapidly leave your body and give you the shock.

Trump moves toward repealing Obama EPA water rule
President Trump will order the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday
to formally review former President Barack Obama's Clean
Water Rule, kicking off the process of eliminating or significantly changing the
rule.
The executive order is the first step toward fulfilling one of Trump's key campaign
promises, repealing a regulation that's been a top target for Republicans and numerous
business interests.
It is also the first regulatory action he has taken specific to the EPA, with more
actions likely to come to roll back Obama's aggressive environmental agenda.
GOP Obamacare Plan Suffers Blow With Rejection by Key Republican
The leader of the largest group of House conservatives said Monday he couldn't support
the party's existing Obamacare replacement strategy.
Representative Mark Walker, who chairs the 170-member Republican Study Committee,
also said he won't recommend his colleagues do so, either.
"There are serious problems with what appears to be our current path to repeal and
replace Obamacare," Walker said in a statement, warning that the emerging GOP plan
would appear to create a new, expensive entitlement program.
Walker's announcement came a day before Donald Trump addresses a joint session of
Congress, and on the same day that the president promised to offer "something special"
on his health-care overhaul efforts.
In the House, Leaders of Russia Inquiry are Split on Whether It's Needed
The top Republican and Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee gave sharply
conflicting views on Monday of their panel's bipartisan investigation into Russian
efforts to influence the presidential election, raising questions about whether
they will be able to work together on the inquiry.
The committee's chairman, Representative Devin Nunes, Republican of California,
said that he had been briefed on the intelligence community's assessment of the
Russians and contended that there was no evidence anyone from the Trump campaign
had communicated with the government in Moscow.
"We can't have McCarthyism back in this place," Mr. Nunes said at a news conference
on Capitol Hill, referring to the congressional investigations in the 1950s into
whether Americans were Communist spies. "We can't have the government, the U.S.
government or the Congress, legislative branch of government, chasing down American
citizens, hauling them before the Congress as if there's some secret Russian agent."

Let's wish all the Top10 good luck and new achievements on their track full of challenge and tough competition.
And now let's see in further detail the best brokers' performance in November.
The November topper is easyMarkets. This is an online forex and CFDs broker that provides access to 300+ global markets and works with clients worldwide, from over 160 countries.

ITFA fintech chair André Casterman on the metaverse, distributed ledger technology, and NFTs
The digitisation of the trade finance industry has brought considerable change to the market in recent years.
By Annie Kovacevic
Published On Tuesday September 6, 2022
Last modified Tuesday January 17, 2023
The digitisation of trade finance has brought considerable change to the market in recent years.
The shift toward tech has had many positive impacts; increasing operational efficiency, reducing paper-based processes, and minimising costs. Moreover, digital innovation is showing no signs of slowing down, opening the trade ecosystem to endless possibilities.
To learn more about this ever-changing sector, Trade Finance Global's (TFG's) Annie Kovacevic sat down with André Casterman (AC), founder and managing director of Casterman Advisory and fintech chair of the fintech committee at ITFA.
TFG are proud media partners of ITFA's Annual Trade Conference, which will cover the latest advances in the Fintech for trade finance space. Find out more here.
ITFA Porto The 48th Annual International Trade And Forfaiting Conference
Can you tell us a little bit more about the fintech committee at ITFA?
AC: The fintech committee has set up a fintech community in trade financing, producing tradetech innovations, which will be showcased this week at Porto.
Given that innovations emerge from collaborative work amongst fintech members, this community is really an example of 'collaboration at its best.'
How does your role as ITFA head of fintech activities fit into this ecosystem?
AC: My current priority is to scale the adoption of innovations, primarily focusing on strategic market ambitions such as the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) and automated distribution strategies; this encompasses digital negotiable instruments (DNI) and trade finance distribution (TFD) initiatives.
Early adopters of such initiatives will showcase their testimonials throughout the Porto conference. These include; Lloyds Bank, Accelerated Payments, XDCTEQ, Mitigram, Traxpay, Tradeteq, Enigio, Mitigram, and more.
The metaverse is a broad and multi-faceted place, can you give us a brief breakdown of its most important aspects?
AC: The metaverse is a natural evolution of our digital practices. I see the current use of Microsoft Teams and Zoom as an analogue practice––the experience is limited and not user-friendly.
In contrast, the metaverse will be much more immersive, completely digital, and engaging. In Porto, we will debate the metaverse's potential to support development of business objectives for financial institutions (FIs) and fintechs.
What are the largest changes that have come about in this space over the last few years?
AC: Back in the early days (2018) of the fintech committee, my objective was to clarify the overall position of the fintech space for the core ITFA membership, i.e., emphasise a goal of collaboration as opposed to competition.
It's a very different dynamic compared to payments, where most of the new entrants are fighting banks. Trade financing is a more complex business which is why, in general, fintechs do not want to enter the regulated FI space.
Banks recognise they will not be able to close the trade finance gap on their own, as they need more automation to both run their business more efficiently (e.g., making greater use of DNI as per the DNI initiatives) and expand it successfully (e.g., automated distribution to institutional investors as per TFD initiatives).
However, it is much more preferable to address specific pain points and work with banks to succeed together. The approach works perfectly for those who dare to specialise and invest in creating technological leadership positions.
The ecosystem and categories of solution providers. Read more in Casterman's recent article here.
How has DLT developed over the last few years?
AC: DLT created somewhat of a 'hype' between 2016-19, causing industry expectations to rise without generating many tangible results. But things are now improving, with DLT positioned to support specific functions as opposed to solely acting as a core technology.
This year's Porto conference will demonstrate how distributed ledger technology (DLT) brings value to trade financing and how we can put transaction data to work for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) measures.
Both the DNI initiative and TFD initiative have production use of DLT, permitting the tracking of the lifecycle of a negotiable instrument (e.g., Lloyds Bank using Enigio for digital promissory note) or for bringing retail liquidity into the trade investment class (e.g., XDCTEQ by Tradeteq using XinFin's XDC Network).
NFT has become a popular buzzword of late. What do you think is the driving force behind this?
AC: When tracking a trade transaction (e.g., bill of exchanges) on the DLT, a non-fungable token (NFT) is created. This is due to the fact that each transaction is unique, and thus traceable.
Public blockchain platforms such as XinFin's XDC Network expand on this ability, allowing industry members to gain access to transaction statuses.
Over time, advanced smart contract capabilities will additionally be applied through FI automatic settlement. However, tracking unique transactions is one of the most straightforward things to do at this stage.
Mitigating other concerns surrounding the AI space such as fraud are an additional priority at this time, with a view to improvement down the line. There have been tentative steps made in the NFT sector to advance fraud protection, including double financing. Despite this development, we still need time and involvement from regulators to confidently expand that field.
The world of fintech has seemed to gain a reputation for disruption. How do you think that AIs have revolutionised the supply chain, especially in light of this post-COVID world?
AC: I see no disruption, only continuous improvement. The fintechs that succeed, recognise the need to integrate with existing technologies.
Most notably, there has been a mindset shift concerning the value of trusted transaction data. Transaction details feed risk models and decision-making processes, giving those who can access authenticated data a competitive advantage.
Overall, however, the market is welcoming new technologies, new types of originators, new business models, and new bridges across spaces (e.g., capital markets); all these developments offer ways to achieve more, as opposed to disrupt.
Do you think that AI developments will help with assessing credit-worthiness of SMEs? Will this help the trade finance gap or add more obstacles?
AC: Yes, artificial intelligence (AI) developments are critical to enhancing visibility on transactions and their context. Predicting credit events requires contextual analysis around a transaction, and this is what rich transaction data and AI can achieve together.
Using these dependable new technological initiatives will therefore be helpful for businesses that might have otherwise been overlooked, bolstering commerce and hopefully closing the trade finance gap in the process.
However, it is important not to forget the value of AI as a mitigator of fraud as well, as this is probably the top concern for lenders.
What new things are on the horizon for the metaverse and trade finance that we should look out for?
AC: The key takeaway from the ITFA Porto metaverse panel will be the exciting opportunities of the developing digital world; not least, the financing opportunities and rapidly expanding economic activity in the metaverse.
Not unlike other digital innovations which have surfaced within the market over recent years, the key focus for companies in the space should be the business case.
This new room for opportunity will require payment and lending services too, which traditional banks will be happy to get involved in, given the upward trajectory of the market.
The metaverse seems to be a promising new frontier for economic growth, one whose opportunities and challenges will be thoroughly discussed this week at ITFA, Porto.

Tradetech predictions for 2023


Use this option with caution. These errors are intrinsic to the design and physics of the GPS system. After restarting ntpd, a line similar to the one below should appear in the output of the command "ntpq -p" after allowing a couple of minutes: If you have a hard problem or a tight deadline or both, request an engagement via the dev list or IRC. The command 'i1' causes it to send the same sequence of subtype probes that gpsd would. Before the client has issued a command that requests a channel assignment, a short timeout 60 seconds applies.
A URI with the prefix "tcp: How can I improve fix accuracy from my GPS? Splitting these notifications allows ntpd to use its normal heuristics to weight them.
This will be useful mainly when isolating test instances of gpsd from production ones. Note, however, that as your velocity goes up it becomes easier for the convergence filters in your GPS to spot and discard delayed signal, so multipath effects are proportionally less important in fast-moving vehicles.
Unit 0 is used for message-decoded time and unit 1 for the more accurate, when available time derived from the PPS synchronization pulse.
Corrections from the caster will be send to each attached GPS with the capability to accept them. On USB and Bluetooth GPSes it is also possible for serial mode setting to fail either because the serial adaptor chip does not support non-8N1 modes or because the device firmware does not properly synchronize the serial adaptor chip with the UART on the GPS chipset when the speed changes. If you are non-technical and confused, the GPSD users' list will be more hpsd.
It is a bad idea for applications to speak the protocol directly: Most devices have a fixed cycle time of 1 second, so this command may fail with a message. Whenever the daemon recognizes a packet from any attached device, it writes the accumulated state from that device to a shared memory segment.
You can verify correct operation by first starting gpsd and then xgps, the X windows test client. If this assumption is false, gpsd may not be able to open GPS devices in order to read them such failures will be logged.
Vendor spec sheets fib by quoting this time only, leaving out the cold-start lag to fetch almanac. If your problem is wildly fluctuating speed reports on a SiRF, switch on static forcd mode using the Gpzd command in gpsmon. If your GPS uses a SiRF chipset at firmware levelreported UTC time may be off by the difference between gpse default leap-second offset has been compiled in and whatever leap-second correction is currently applicable, from startup until complete subframe information is received.
We don't mind getting reports that say "I saw version foo had the following bug, but you've fixed it. A systematic way to do this is to gpss the log in half at the middle and test each half.
If yours reports no data at all, you probably have some low-level system problem with serial or USB that you'll need to fix before gpsd will operate.
On Linux systems, there's a trick you can gosd to simulate fixing the baud rate.
AIDVM decoding of types, and is unverified. Will show an error if the device doesn't have such modes. This means that gpsd cannot configure the receiver gpsdd optimal performance, but it also means that gpsd cannot break the receiver.
One of the things this should tell you, if the chip reports it at all, is the firmware version.
The -n fodce forces gpsmon to request NMEA packets instead of the raw datastream from gpsd. If you don't find anything nearby, you get to give up and start searching the whole Doppler range.
For example, suppose you know that your GPS is on serial port 0 and operates tpsd a fixed bps of You will almost always want to use the high-level interface and go through the daemon; among other things, this means more than one application will be able to query the GPS without causing confusion.
Pgsd you can send a test log that crashes gpsdecode, you can expect the bug to be fixed very quickly. You can tell you have this problem if your sentence timestamps look wrong at startup. GPSes are supposed to retain the leap-second correction along with the last fix in NVRAM when they power down, but we've observed that many seem prone to occasionally drop this information. A problem can arise if you have other devices connected to your system through one of these specific adaptor chips.
The tool will identify the GPS type itself. At one point in the development of gpsd we got a report of the daemon ceasing to respond to queries when run for more than a day or so; the user, quite reasonably, suspected some sort of resource leak in the daemon.
If you set the system clock to some date in the current year before launching gpsd you will see correct time reports.

'Our Democracy Would Enter a Death Spiral': McConnell Rebukes Electoral Challenge Minutes Before Protesters Storm Capitol
The warning came a bit too late.
Billy Binion | 1.6.2021 4:36 PM
(Kevin Dietsch / Pool via CNP / SplashNews/Newscom)
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R–Ky.) on Wednesday sought to forcefully reject attempts to stymie certifying the 2020 election results, as some Republicans expressed that they would vote against making President-elect Joe Biden's electoral college victory official.
"The voters, the courts, and the states have all spoken. They've all spoken," McConnell said, referencing unfounded claims of voter fraud and election irregularities put forth by President Donald Trump and some of his supporters on Capitol Hill. "If we overrule them, it would damage our Republic forever."
McConnell went on to detail Democratic efforts to cast doubt on past elections, including 2004 and 2016, arguing that such efforts to overturn the will of the voters makes them no better than the Democrats they've criticized over the last several years.
Contrast that with Sen. Ted Cruz (R–Texas), who used his time on the floor to argue for a commission that evaluates alleged voter fraud. The country needs an "independent" body to study the claims, he said, omitting that court after court has rejected Trump's lawsuits, with his own judicial nominees issuing scathing rebukes. The common thread: There is no evidence behind any Republican objection.
Several Republicans joined (or planned to join) Cruz, including Rep. Paul Gosar (R–Ariz.), Rep. Jim Jordan (R–Ohio), and Sen. Josh Hawley (R–Mo.).
"Do Cruz et al. have any specific reason to believe the audits and recounts that states have conducted since the election, all of which validated Biden's victory, were deficient?" asks Reason's Jacob Sullum. "They don't say. Yet they imply that the certification of electoral votes in 'disputed states' cannot be trusted, based on allegations by the same man Cruz has said lies almost every time he opens his mouth."
Some in the GOP didn't have a chance to make their election skepticism official—including Hawley, the Trumpian populist who was the first to publicly announce he would make such claims—because pro-Trump protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol, smashing the windows and pushing past police to overtake the Senate chamber. One woman has been shot.
That occupation came after Trump asked that his supporters move to the Capitol to "show strength" and "fight" during a speech earlier Wednesday.
It should go without saying that Trump has emboldened the chaos in Washington, D.C., today. He did so directly and unapologetically. But so, too, have so many GOP leaders—those who recklessly lied to the American people about widespread election fraud, and those who made excuses for Trump's brazen immorality over these last four years.
"If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral," said McConnell today. That seems slightly prophetic at this point. If only he had found such courage before this moment—in other words, before he no longer had anything to lose.

Sailing Holidays in Albenga
Albenga is located in the west Riviera. It has a homonymous plain at the mouth of the river Centa, which over the centuries has been the architect of the Albenga's plain, remodeling the ground several times and forcing the Albenganesi to adopt embankments and bridges since its foundation. Until the 17th century, it based its economy on maritime trade, as the city was built on the delta of the Centa and was surrounded by walls and bridges. With the closure of other roads estuary delta, which occurred first at the hands of the Genoese and later as the work of nature, now the river runs along the center flowing to the estuary. Even the memory of the old bridges was deleting itself. It is the main center of the district Albenganese, which extends from Finale to Andora and its hinterland. It includes the nature reserve of island Gallinara, where apparently lived St. Martin of Tours. Just dedicated to this saint was a monastery on the island. After 1064 it became the possession of the abbey of Abbadia Alpina.

Yvonne Feyerick Nèvejean (1900 - 1987) was one of the leaders of an organisation that helped hide Jewish children in Nazi-occupied Belgium during World War II.  She was instrumental in hiding about 4000 children, many with Catholic families and institutions.  After the war she was honoured inside and outside Belgium. In 1965, she was designated as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, and in 1996 a stamp was issued in Belgium bearing her image.

Born on November 15, 1900, in Gentbrugge, Nèvejean studied at the University of Ghent (Gand) and then in the USA where she was awarded a Master of Arts in Social and Political sciences at New York State University . After her return to Belgium in 1928, she started to work at the  National Agency for Children (Oeuvre Nationale de l'Enfance; ONE), an organization that operated a network of children's homes throughout Belgium. She subsequently rose to head this organisation.

The Nazis began to deport Belgian Jews in the summer of 1942. At that time Nèvejean was approached by the Comité de Défence des Juifs en Belgique, Belgium's main Jewish underground organization (founded in 1942 by :fr:Hertz Jospa), and asked to rescue Jewish children separated from their parents. Acting essentially on her own, Nèvejean agreed to have ONE place children with families and in institutions in order to protect them. Ultimately, she saved the lives of some 4,000 Jewish children.

The Jewish underground financed Nèvejean's extensive rescue operation, but when their funds were not sufficient, Nèvejean found funding from banks and from the London-based Belgian government in exile and the Joint (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee). The Gestapo tried to stop Nevejean's operations, and arrested some rescuers and rescuees, but they were generally unsuccessful due to the brave stand made by
Nèvejean and other Belgians, such as the Queen Mother Elizabeth and Leon Platteau of the Belgian Ministry of Justice, also designated "Righteous Among The Nations" by Yad Vashem.

A Belgian priest, Father Joseph André, of Namur was also prominent in this movement.
