The ICE has this month published its annual report and looking through our achievements across 2016 makes me immensely proud to be President of an organisation with such a vibrant membership.
We are perhaps unique in providing our members with a range of services to support them throughout their careers.
As engineers progress, we offer access to the ICE's unrivalled technical knowledge, helping them to be the best at what they do. Our extensive events programme provides more knowledge and access to networking opportunities. Our thought leadership work gives members a chance to engage with the big issues shaping our profession and the society we serve.
And thanks to our close relationship with government and industry leaders, we use this knowledge and thought leadership to shape the infrastructure agenda, helping decision makers reach informed judgements.
We can do this thanks to you, our members, whose industry insight, knowledge and passion affords us an unrivalled pool of expertise.
Last year was tremendously successful for the ICE. We launched our flagship National Needs Assessment, a rigorous 30 year analysis of the UK's changing demands for infrastructure. We also delivered our widely acclaimed Shaping Hong Kong report to the Hong Kong Government and produced Manifestos for Infrastructure ahead of elections for the devolved administrations.
Our Bridge Engineering exhibition, featuring a world record breaking Lego bridge, attracted over 13,000 visitors, helping to inspire the next generation into the profession.
We launched our Associate Member grade for allied professionals working in civil engineering, that I believe will bring in a vast amount of knowledge and insight into the ICE.
We agreed four new corporate partnerships, meaning that all civil engineering graduates from Aecom, Amey, Bam Nuttall and Skanska will follow the ICE Training Agreement route to professional qualification.
Aspiring young civil engineers were also on our horizon as we signed academic partnerships with four universities, and we participated in the Big Bang Fair and Tomorrow's Engineers week, inspiring young people to take up science, technology, engineering and maths.
We also engaged with the Trailblazer apprenticeship programme in England, and the development of apprenticeships in Northern Ireland. In Scotland we are helping the Apprenticeship Advisory Board to develop new standards.
We delivered over 800 knowledge events across the UK, online and in person, and almost three recorded lectures every week, many of them free of charge.
We would not be able to deliver these achievements without your support.
Society still faces a raft of challenges from climate change to population growth, and as civil engineers, we will be at the forefront of tackling these issues. As the ICE celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2018, it is more vital than ever that we receive the funding we need to help us continue this work.
This year, as we do every three years, we will ballot members on subscription rates. The ballot takes place in June and your Council is seeking a small 3% rise to the annual subscription rate. I hope that you will join me in voting "yes" and in doing so, help drive forward this vital work.

'Dangerous Liaisons' Lands Safely at ACT
The story—which follows the manipulations and maneuverings of members of pre-revolutionary France's 18th century royal court—is a familiar one, yet still timely
How did Dangerous Liaisons, a 31-year-old play based on the French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, first published in 1782, get placed in A Contemporary Theater's season? Artistic director John Langs must have anticipated this question since he addressed it at an ACT event earlier this year, noting the play's witty, dangerous wordplay and its strong roles for women. The ACT staff was attracted to its central theme of "women and power" which has a clear connection to this year's Presidential election.
The story—which follows the manipulations and maneuverings of Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont, members of pre-revolutionary France's 18th century royal court—is a familiar one to many thanks to Stephen Frears' 1988 movie version of Liasions starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer. And even though the book caused a scandal among the French nobility when it was first published in 1782, it's been a best seller ever since; even Marie Antoinette was said to have kept a copy in her library in an unmarked wrapper.
So how does this story hold up with 21st century audiences?
ACT's production delivers biting and satirical wordplay, strong roles for women in power and ultimately demonstrates why this play remains as relevant as ever—whether during an election season or any time.
Langs has wisely put the roles of Merteuil and the Valmont in the hands of James DeVita and Kirsten Potter. No fun watching a couple spar unless the opponents are equally matched. And Potter and DeVita land verbal blows on one another like Ali vs Frazier in their prime. Potter is the highly-skilled and brilliant strategist Ali, but Devita's strong and solid Frazier is her equal.
The wordplay includes some delicious one liners, most of them given to Merteuil, which Potter delivers with aplomb:
"Like most intellectuals, he's completely stupid."
"I've always known that I was born to dominate your sex and avenge my own." (The night I attended, a woman in the audience shouted, "Hear, hear!" to that line.)
The plot is a game of chess where Merteuil is the master, playing everyone she comes in contact with, even Valmont. Not only does she know how to fling Hampton's one-liners, Potter gives just the right amount of emotional weight to Merteuil's insightful and searing monologue about playing the hand she was given.
Then, there's Madame Tourvel, played by Jen Taylor. She unexpectedly turns into Valmont's love interest—probably the first time he has felt anything for anyone. That Tourvel slowly changes his character for the good makes her more powerful than Merteuil. Any actress tackling this role has to take on Tourvel's emotional journey, which ranges from defiant piousness, full on passion, rage at being rejected and then, heartache—Taylor doesn't miss a beat.
But what makes this play still relevant is that it demonstrates that our attraction to distraction is universal and timeless.
Lacos' novel was unconventional in its time in that it was a series of letters where the exploits of French nobility, once hidden, were now available for public consumption. It was a welcome distraction from the growing hatred toward the upper classes and revolution that was brewing.
The missives the nobles exchange in this story parallel the texts, emails and social channels we rely on today. As in the Liaisons letters, many of our relationships today aren't grounded in reality: we text our feelings, engage in arguments on our Facebook pages, find love through online dating sites where we chat and breakup before we've even actually met the other person. Much easier to stay in our heads and engage in cyber fantasies then to enter the real world, and let our hearts get involved—the same can be said for the characters in this play.
As Valmont actually opens up, falls in love with Tourvel and goes deeper into tangible matters of the heart, the mercurial game he's been playing with Merteuil is completely disrupted.
DeVita skillfully shows Valmont's transformation from passionate Don Juan to tragic lover. You never know what his next move will be as he seduces one partner after the other. He never telegraphs what he's doing by winking at the audience (a trap that other actors have fallen into when they take on this role). Sometimes Valmont's so good, you can see that he's even fooling himself.
That's what's at the heart of this piece (pun intended). True love conquers lies and deceit, along with the best laid plans of two conniving nobles with too much time and money on their hands.
Other members of the ensemble Langs casts have the depth to handle constant shifts from comedy to tragedy and back again: Jasmine Jean Sim and Lorenzo Roberts personify the hope of new love as Cecile and her music teacher, Le Chevalier, before they're eventually corrupted.
Keiko Green as Emile, brings mischievous life to her role as a woman of the world to whom sex is has become a business transaction.
As Madame de Rosemonde, Wendy Robie is seemingly unaware of what's going on under her nose but skillfully delivers a heartfelt monologue on how men and women love differently.
Eleanor Moseley as Madame de Volanges deftly portrays a woman trapped by the mores and roles of the day but unlike, Merteuil, she rarely questions or challenges it.
Even Jason Marr as Azolan provides well-needed comedic relief but shows he can be bought.
Langs has also assembled an impressive crew to help bring Liaisons to life. Brian Sidney Bembridge's stage is shaped like a boxing ring with a mirror above the stage (the boxing metaphor again) as different bouts are fought in front of us. Matt Starrit's sound design is minimal and effective with music that effectively shifts us from scene to scene without distracting from the action. As the world falls apart around our central characters, the rich chamber music gives way to disjointed and dissonant noise.
And Catherine Hunt's stunning costumes help reveal what's going on beneath the surface with each character. For instance, in Act One she puts Potter in red and DeVita in cool colors. But in Act Two she dresses Potter in cooler colors, and DeVita's in red velvet as Valmont falls in love with Tourvel.
Not only does Dangerous Liaisons hold up, fans coming to enjoy the word play may find themselves in Valmont's shoes and emotionally moved, whether they want to be or not.
Dangerous Liaisons, at A Contemporary Theatre, runs through 11/20.

This is an All Addictions Big Book Step Study workshop, so anyone from any twelve step fellowship is welcome. There is no attendance or sobriety/abstinence requirement. I will be suggest that all participants to attend at least one Big Book step study meeting a week and do a quiet time each day. I will give a weekly writing assignment that will deepen their understanding of the pages I went over in that weeks workshop. I will also give participants words from the Big Book reading to look up in a dictionary. These assignment are completely voluntary. I suggest that you get someone from the workshop with whom you can share your writing and definitions with. We call these people "buddies".
I suggest starting with a prayer of your choice. Then read a piece of recovery or spiritual literature. Write on what you've read, and then meditate for at least five minutes on a word, phrase, or concept that came from the reading, work up to sitting quietly listening to your Higher Power for 15-20 minutes.
You need a Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous (any edition for the first 164 pages are all the same), a three ring binder (notebook), loose leaf paper, pen, and WILLINGNESS.
No, we are not affiliated with any twelve step fellowship. This is an independent act of service on my part (Stephanie-see bio). We are a group of twelve step people, who come together to study the steps as they are laid out in the Big Book of AA, and to develop and/or deepen our relationship with our Higher Power. This group has one facilitator for the entire twelve step process, which differs how an official twelve step group works. To be an official twelve step group, there must be a singleness of purpose, not all addictions together, and there must be a rotation of service positions. This is why I ask you not to mention this group or our website at your specific fellowship meetings, IT BREAKS TRADITIONS, and puts us into controversy. Please use word of mouth, or after the meeting is over ask for permission to announce this workshop. I call it a workshop so no one will in anyway get us confused with a official twelve step meeting.
It takes about a year and a half to go through steps one, two, and three. We then take approximately 28 weeks to write our fourth step. Then the next eight steps will take another year and a half. It will take approximately three years to complete all twelve steps. This is an unusual workshop because I go line by line, paragraph by paragraph. I dissect each line, and then give my experience, strength and hope on the principal or concept being written about. This workshop has depth and weight, and is not for anyone who wants to skim over the material and start writing their fourth step in a few weeks. I understand that want/need and encourage you to find a Big Book step study sponsor and read through steps 1, 2, 3 in a few weeks and start writing on your fourth step. Many people have successfully done the steps that way, and I see value to it. I have chosen to do a workshop on the way I was taken through the steps. My sponsor went over each page in detail and answered my many questions, so I am going to give you a similar experience that I had. We also read the AA 12/12 steps and tradition in tandem with the Big Book.
You have the option of listening to the workshops on the website. If you have missed a few workshops, I do advise you to listen to as many of the past workshops as you can.
This prayer is to help us who have been in the halls of recovery for some time, and who have done the steps in other ways, stay humble, and teachable. This prayer is to help us realize that we need to be always working on our relationship with our Higher Power through working the twelve steps as they are laid out in the Big Book.
8. How do I listen to this weeks workshop?
You can listen on the call back phone number: 641-715-3900; Pin:95666# or on this web site.
9. When I leave a comment on this website, what does it mean, "waiting on moderation?" And do we need to log in?
Your comment will be entered into a que so that the content can be reviewed before it shows on the website. This will ensure that all comments posted will be relevant to the topic of the All Addictions Big Book Step Study. Sharing comments about your experience with doing this workshop is encouraged and appreciated.
10. Who do I share my writing assignment with?
Your writing assignment is to be shared with your "buddy" from the workshop or a "buddy" group, and/or your specific fellowship sponsor. Additionally, when it is time for your fifth step you will share it with your "buddy" or specific fellowship sponsor or another appropriate person. Stephanie is your step study sponsor (unless you have someone else you are working with) however you will work on your writing assignments with your "buddy"/"buddy" group or step one fellowship sponsor. Stephanie is available via e-mail that you can get when you listen to the recordings, or you can leave a message on this web site and she will answer you back with her e-mail address.

Large-Scale World War 1
Conflicts , Military , World War 1
World War I started in 1914 and kept going until 1918, The Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire) battled against the Allied Powers (Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States). Therefore, because of new military advancements and the detestations of channel fighting, World War I saw uncommon dimensions of the massacre. When the war was finished and the Allied Powers guaranteed victory, in excess of 16 million individuals—military and civilian people alike—were dead.
Germany started battling World War I on two fronts, attacking France through unbiased Belgium in the west and standing up to Russia in the east. On August 4, 1914, German troops crossed the outskirt into Belgium. In the main clash of World War, the Germans ambushed the vigorously braced city of Liege, utilizing the most dominant weapons in their munitions stockpile—huge attack guns—to catch the city by August 15. Leaving passing and annihilation afterwards, including the shooting of regular citizens and the execution of a Belgian cleric, whom they blamed for actuating civilian personnel obstruction, the Germans progressed through Belgium towards France.

In the First Battle of the Marne, battled from September 6-9, 1914, French and British powers went up against the attacking Germany armed force, which had by then entered profoundly into northeastern France, inside 30 miles of Paris. The Allied troops checked the German development and mounted an effective counterattack, driving the Germans back to north of the Aisne River. The thrashing implied the finish of German gets ready for a brisk victory in France. The two sides delved into channels, and the Western Front was the setting for a frightful war of wearing down that would last over three years. Especially long and expensive fights in this crusade were battled at Verdun (February-December 1916) and the Battle of the Somme (July-November 1916). German and French troops endured near a million losses in the Battle of Verdun alone. The slaughter on the war zones of the Western Front caused troubles for the warriors and had been hard for quite a long time after the battling had finished.
War antagonistically influenced warriors and civilians alike, both physically and psychologically (Remarque). Demise, damage, sexual savagery, ailing health, disease, and disability are the absolute most compromising physical outcomes of war, while post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), despondency, and nervousness are a portion of the passionate impacts. The dread and horror spread by the savagery of war disturbs lives and disjoins connections and families, leaving people and networks emotionally upset.
At first, war is celebrated as honourable and energetic, yet as the war advances it turns out to be certain that war is horrendous, awful, and ruinous (Remarque). The irrationality of the war was woven. The troopers don't appear to recognize what they were battling for, having no elevated objectives and communicating no assumption with respect to why they were there (Owen). Legislative issues are regularly the reason for war, yet the men have nothing to do with governmental issues who are enrolled to battle it (Owen, Dulce et Decorum Est). Troopers who had lost their limbs and been casualties of toxic substance gas; young fellows grieving their dead friends; horrendous combat zone dreamscapes; an uproar of sounds alarming in their constant dullness; and Nature's anger. the war influences the young fellows who battle both physically and mentally. The men who endure wind up inured to fierceness. There is next to zero brilliance and chivalry, simply frightened or desensitized young fellows battling for a reason they don't exactly get it. (Owen, Disabled)
Soldiers endeavoured to comprehend their curious and horrendous circumstance on the front and back at home (Owen, Disabled). WW1 had a major effect on the families. As most troopers had gone to battle in the war, ladies needed to replace men in the workforce. A significant number of men who returned from the War were experiencing genuine wounds, the impacts of Mustard Gas and additionally shell shock. The shelling is more grounded than everything. It clears out the sensibilities (Remarque). They were too tormented to discuss their encounters and frequently it would require them a long investment recoup from the injury of the War. This implied a few ladies had been turned out to be mindful of supporting the whole family. The kids were frightened about their Dads' doing battle since they probably won't see them once more. Be that as it may, few kids moved toward becoming were befuddled when their dads returned on the grounds that they didn't comprehend the impacts of injury on their dads and didn't realize how to speak with them.
Most of the men tumbled to pieces as a result of the torment they experienced and required mental help to recoup from their encounters of war. Life was never the equivalent for most of the men as they had steady 'flashbacks' and bad dreams about the war. Others had long-lasting wounds from having their appendages brush off and different genuine wounds. Men could be in shock or experiencing the gases that they were presented to. Regularly these implied officers were not able to do the business and attain the way of life they had before leaving for the War, adding discouragement and financial troubles to the family circumstance. It was the first run through ladies were acknowledged in numerous zones of work that had recently been the preserve of men. From various perspectives, the commitment of ladies to the war exertion was critical in propelling the instance of ladies' suffrage. Also, the nurses worked long hours to aid the victims and injured soldiers and civilians. The nurses had to work day and night. (Brittain)
Life was extremely hard for the fighters and their families in light of the torment they experienced on the fierce combat zones of WWI. None of the troopers was set up for the torment, nor were their families really ready to comprehend the full impacts of the War upon their friends and family. WWI eventually finished in 1918 yet not before the lives of a large number of individuals had been changed forever. Everybody needs to be the legend. As a general rule, the man holds his head down is he who endures the longest (Owen, Dulce et Decorum Est). The shrewdest were only poor people and straightforward individuals. They realized the war to be a setback, while individuals who were in an ideal situation were adjacent to themselves with satisfaction, however, they ought to have been greatly improved ready to pass judgment on what the outcomes would be. (Remarque)
People were thinking of the World War I as the war to end all the wars. No one was capable of thinking that another horrifying war was waiting just around the that proved to be even more destructive (Yeats). The unsteadiness made in Europe by the First World War (1914-18) set the phase for another worldwide conflict– World War II– which broke out two decades later and would demonstrate significantly more destructive and devastating.

Gaula or Gowla (pronounced gauḷa) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a janya rāgam (derived scale) from the 15th melakarta scale Mayamalavagowla. It is a janya scale, as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes) in the ascending and descending scale.

Gaula is an ancient rāgam mentioned in Sangita Ratnakara, Sangita Makarandha and Sangita samayasara. It is an auspicious rāgam, which is mostly sung in the early part of the concert. It is a popular rāgam and also a ghana rāgam.

Structure and Lakshana
Gaula is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain dhaivatam in the scale and does not contain gandharam in the ascending scale. It is an audava-vakra-shadava rāgam (or owdava, meaning pentatonic ascending scale). Vakra-shadava means that the descending scale has 6 notes with inclusion of zig-zag movements (vakra).

De Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is opensourceprogramma dat het bandbreedtegebruik van netwerkverbindingen in kaart brengt. De hoeveelheid netwerkverkeer wordt daarbij gevisualiseerd over een bepaalde periode.

Het programma werd oorspronkelijk ontwikkeld door Tobias Oetiker en Dave Rand om routerverkeer op te volgen, maar is uitgegroeid tot een hulpmiddel dat voor bijna alles grafieken en statistieken kan genereren.

MRTG is geschreven in Perl en is beschikbaar op Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X en NetWare.

Werking

SNMP
MRTG maakt gebruik van het Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) om commando's te sturen met twee object identifiers (OID's) naar een toestel in het netwerk. Dat toestel moet een management information base (MIB) bevatten waarin de gevraagde OID's kunnen opgezocht worden. De SNMP-agent die op het toestel draait, verzamelt de gevraagde gegevens en stuurt die terug via een of meerdere SNMP-pakketten. MRTG bewaart deze gegevens, tezamen met eerdere gegevens die van het toestel ontvangen werden. Op basis van deze gegevens genereert MRTG een HTML-pagina met gedetailleerde grafieken met het bandbreedtegebruik van het toestel.

Scripting
Naast het gebruik van SNMP kan MRTG ook commando's of scripts starten om gegevens te verzamelen. De MRTG-website bevat een collectie scripts die het mogelijk maken om gegevens en statistieken te verzamelen van SQL-databases, firewalls, CPU-belasting, temperatuursensoren en dergelijke.

Research Interests: digital technologies and democratic processes; social movements and alternative media; identity and collective representations; digital networks and new forms of politics; Web 2.0 platforms and social networking sites; Web 3.0 or the Semantic Internet; anthropology of media and representation; media rituals; ethnography of media.
About my current position: I have recently obtained my PhD in Media and Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London. My doctoral research was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and was made possible through collaboration between the Media and Communications and the Anthropology Departments. Committed to ethnographic methodologies, my research explores how digital technologies have transformed the relationship between alternative media production and collective action. At present, I am a postdoctoral research assistant at the Institute of Contemporary European Studies (iCES), Regent's College London. My current research at iCES has been awarded the small research grant by the British academy and explores the impact of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 developments on the imaginaries and values of political activists in Italy and Spain. I am committed to ethnographic methodologies, and in contrast to techno-deterministic assumptions on the empowering effects of new media, her goal is to highlight the human understandings, beliefs and anxieties involved in the everyday mediation of collective action. This approach, I believe is fundamental, in order to shed some light on the human complexities involved in the techno historical developments of recent years.

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Steinmeier meets new EU Special Representative Valentin Inzko
18.03.2009 - Press release
At his first meeting with the new High Representative and EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dr Valentin Inzko, Frank-Walter Steinmeier backed the unity of the country. "There is no way round Dayton", Steinmeier said referring to the treaty that ended the war in Bosnia in 1995.
Federal Foreign Minister Dr Frank-Walter Steinmeier today had a first meeting with the new High Representative and EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dr Valentin Inzko. Their main topic of discussion was the current domestic situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They also talked about the international community's intended closure of the Office of the High Representative and the resulting move to an EU Special Representative with an extended mandate.
Federal Foreign Minister Steinmeier issued the following statement after the meeting today (18 March):
"In Ambassador Inzko a person with an excellent knowledge of the region is taking over as High Representative and EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He takes over the job at a critical time; developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent months have not been pleasing. It is important now that all in positions of responsibility commit themselves to continuing the reforms and to sticking to the Dayton Agreement.
Like my colleagues in the EU, I am very concerned about the flamboyant rhetoric, particularly that coming from the Republika Srpska. Everyone involved must be quite clear about one thing: there is no way round Dayton, the country's unity is not at issue, and there will be no EU perspective for individual part-republics.
On Monday the EU Foreign Ministers once again reiterated their full support to the European perspective of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole. We intend to work with the new EU Special Representative to actively support the country as it moves closer towards the EU."

World Rugby to support Pacific Islands Super Rugby ambitions
A potential historic transformation of Pacific Islands rugby has been advanced with World Rugby confirming a package of financial and administrative support to help facilitate two teams joining Super Rugby from 2022.
World Rugby to provide financial, high performance and administrative support for two potential Pacific Island Super Rugby franchises
Programme objective is to boost the performances of the Pacific Islands on the world stage and provide a genuine pathway for the best talent
Players will have the opportunity to stay local, play professionally and optimise their preparation for playing international rugby
Subject to New Zealand Rugby (NZR) Board approval and key conditions being met, the international federation's Executive Committee has approved a £1.2m annual funding package for an initial three-year period to support the two franchises, Fijian Drua and Moana Pasifika. Both franchises will also be supported by their respective unions and private equity funding.
The decision was made following a detailed financial, performance and commercial feasibility study in partnership with New Zealand Rugby and the respective unions. The funding is conditional on these franchises satisfying the necessary financial criteria for entry.
The decision is aligned to core objectives of World Rugby's strategic plan to increase the competitiveness of the global game and ultimately the men's and women's Rugby World Cups. It supports the ambition to develop locally-based players into test players for the three nations, giving each union the best opportunity to perform to their full potential on the world stage.
The announcement completes a journey that began when the international federation's Rugby Committee met in Suva in 2016 to consider opportunities to further support Pacific Islands rugby on and off the field. If accepted into Super Rugby, the teams would complete World Rugby supported high performance journey from the Pacific Challenge competition and resulting annual Pacific Combine to the test arena. World Rugby in partnership with Fiji Rugby and the Fijian Government has underwritten the Fijian Drua's participation in Australia's National Rugby Championship, which it won at the second attempt in 2018 (pictured).
Since its inception in 2018, 75 players have graduated from the Pacific Combine and 17 have gone on to represent the Pacific Islands on the world stage, including seven at Rugby World Cup 2019 and 12 in Fiji's squad for the Autumn Nations Cup in 2020.
World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: "The game-changing potential of the Executive Committee's decision to support Pacific Island Super Rugby franchises should not be underestimated. From a strategic perspective, it provides the best-possible platform and pathway for the Islands to reach their potential.
"On a human level, this is absolutely the right thing to do. It is great for the players, allowing them to make the choice for the first time to be part of a local professional team at the top level of elite club rugby.
"While recognising that there are still steps to complete, I would like to thank everyone involved, including the unions as well as New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia, for their full commitment to this project which is great for rugby."
World Rugby Vice-Chairman Bernard Laporte commented: "I fully support this ambitious project of integrating the Pacific Islands into Super Rugby. This can only be beneficial to rugby's global development."
World Rugby General Manager, High Performance Peter Horne added: "We are committed to increasing sustainable global competitiveness in both the men's and women's game. By supporting these Super Rugby franchises, we are completing a meaningful competition pathway from local to national team level for Pacific Island players. This is entirely in line with the approach we have been taking in other strategically important markets such as North and South America, Japan and Europe."
Fiji Rugby Union Chief Executive John O'Connor believes the development is one of the most important in the history of Fiji rugby: "We are excited about the possibility of the Fijian Drua joining the Super Rugby competition in 2022. It will be a dream come true for not only Fiji rugby but for Pacific Island rugby. We have been urging for such an opportunity and it is almost in our grip.
"This is the missing piece to our rugby puzzle in the Pacific Islands and more importantly to Fiji rugby. Being included in Super Rugby completes our elite pathway and will allow our best players to have the opportunity to play professional rugby right here at home.
"We are not over the line yet. However, we are working very hard to meet all the requirements set by NZR, including strict financial diligence requirements by the end of March to satisfy the NZR Board that we will be able to field a strong team on the field and a sustainable and profitable franchise."
Lakapi Samoa Chief Executive Vincent Fepuleai added: "This is a huge step forward for Lakapi Samoa and for Pacific Islands rugby. We have been reliant on our overseas-based players representing Manu Samoa, but the Moana Pasifika provides the missing link and pathway for our players to stay in the southern hemisphere. We are very grateful to World Rugby for this opportunity."
Tonga Rugby Union Chief Executive Peter Harding added: "The renewed HP investment from World Rugby is welcome news for Tonga rugby. The investment is key to nourishing the pathways to the 'Ikale Tahi. The combination of this investment and the commitment of World Rugby to assist the player development pathways for the new Moana Pasifika franchise shows that the partnership between the three organisations will make a healthy contribution toward ensuring that rugby in the Pacific is strong and stable into the future."
Super Rugby inclusion would be a significant boost for players who wish to stay close to home and represent a truly historic venture, and it is a move that has had player representation at the heart of the decision-making process.
Pacific Rugby Players Chairman Hale T Pole said: "Our work behind the scenes over many years in partnership with Fiji, Tonga and Samoa and World Rugby has led to this pivotal moment. We are close now to achieving a step that I wasn't sure would be possible, and this funding opportunity for both teams is a big boost to help get a truly historic project across the line."
Pacific Rugby Players CEO Aayden Clarke added: "The birth of these two professional teams is a huge step forward for the players of the Pacific and rugby in general. The global game needs the Pacific to be strong. There is nothing more important than for both the Drua and Moana Pasifika to be strongly connected to the Pacific unions, the communities in the islands and the World Rugby high performance programme and this funding will ensure that."

Цукор виробляють із цукрового буряка і цукрової тростини (довжиною 4 м та діаметром 5 см, Бразилія, Індія, Куба, Мексика, Австралія). Цукрова тростина має вміст цукру 12-15 %, але більшу врожайність, ніж цукрового буряку, тому з 1 га одержується в 2 рази більше цукру. Цукровий буряк містить цукру від 15 до 22 %. Вихід цукру 15 кг на 100 кг буряків.

Хімічний склад цукрових буряків залежить від ґрунтово-кліматичних умов, агротехніки, насіння та інших факторів. Вміст окремих речовин суттєво впливає на вихід і якість цукру. Основною складовою частиною цукрових буряків є сахароза (14-18 %), а інші частини називають нецукрами. Наявність інвертного цукру в буряках і продуктах його переробки погіршує якість цукру, оскільки сприяє утворенню барвників, ускладнює роботу випарної станції, збільшує втрати сахарози. Недостиглі буряки містять більше інвертного цукру, ніж стиглі.
Серед пектинових речовин особливо небажаною є галактуронова кислота, яка в лужному середовищі утворює колоїдні драглеподібні осади, що погіршують фільтрацію соків.

Перехід сапоніну в соки сприяє інтенсивному піноутворенню і сповільнює фільтрування внаслідок утворення з кальцієм колоїдного осаду.
Ферменти проявляють активність в умовах низьких температур одержання соку і призводять до потемніння в результаті окислення пірокатехіну і тирозину ферментами з групи пероксидаз.

Технологічна схема одержання цукру-піску включає такі основні операції:
 очищення буряків від домішок,
 одержання бурякової стружки,
 одержання дифузійного соку,
 очищення дифузійного соку (дефекація, сатурація, сульфітація, фільтрація),
 випарювання соку,
 очищення і уварювання сиропу,
 одержання утфелю (кристалізація),
 центрифугування і пробілювання,
 сушіння цукру-піску.

Приймання буряків на цукрових заводах здійснюється в бурячній. Із бурячної буряк на виробництво подається водою гідравлічним транспортером, який являє собою, бетонний жолоб з нахилом у бік заводу. У жолобі буряки змиваються струменем води під тиском. В гідравлічному транспортері виділяються гичка, пісок, каміння.

Гідравлічним транспортером буряк надходить у мийне відділення заводу, де миється на бурякомийних машинах кулачкового типу, які мають піско- та камневловлювачі. Процес миття повинен проводитися дуже ретельно, тому що домішки погіршують роботу бурякорізок і забруднюють дифузійний сік.

Після миття буряк на контрольному транспортері очищується від металевих домішок і зважується на автоматичних ковшових вагах з перекидним дном. За показниками вагів ведеться хіміко-технологічний облік на заводі. Далі буряк подрібнюють в дрібну стружку жолобчатої або пластичної форми, товщиною 0,5-1 мм, шириною жолобчата 4-6 мм, пластинчата 2,5-3 мм.

Якість бурякової стружки оцінюється числом Сіліна — це довжина 100 г стружки, яка повинна становити 9-15 м, або шведським фактором. Цей фактор повинен бути не менше 10. Більш тонка стружка швидко забиває сита, а з крупної добувається менше соку, що призводить до зменшення виходу соку. Буряк подрібнюється на відцентрових бурякорізках з 12-16 ножовими рамами. Бурякова стружка далі по стрічковому конвеєру надходить в дифузійне відділення. Процес вилучення цукру базується на дифузії клітинного соку водою із порушених клітин.

Дифузією (екстрагуванням) називають вилучення із складної речовини одного або декількох компонентів за допомогою розчинника (екстрагента), який має вибіркову здатність розчиняти тільки речовини, що піддаються екстрагуванню. Рушійною силою дифузії є різниця концентрацій речовин у розчинах, що стикаються, яка переносить розчинену речовину в бік меншої концентрації.

Існують:
 Вільна дифузія — коли два розчина безпосередньо стикаються один з одним і вільно проникають один водного;
 Осмос — це мембранна дифузія, коли розчини розділені напівпроникною мембраною, яка пропускає тільки чистий розчинник;
 Діаліз — теж мембранна дифузія, але мембрана крім розчинника пропускає ще і частини розчиненої речовини, але до певного розміру, а більш крупні — затримує.

У цукровому виробництві відбуваються всі три види дифузії: вільна дифузія, (коли переходить в розчин цукор із зруйнованих клітин) потім осмос — проникнення води в клітинний сік, а після нагрівання стружки і денатурації протоплазми починається основний видобуток цукру — діаліз. Вилучення соку здійснюється в дифузорах, де з одного боку подається стружка, а назустріч — вода. Для цього використовують безперервно діючі дифузійні установки великої потужності: вертикальні колонні з ошпарювачем (КДА) і похилі двошнекові типу ДДС і А1-ПДС.

Стружку спочатку ошпарюють водою з температурою 72-75 °C, це температура денатурації протоплазми бурякових клітин, яка є напівпроникною мембраною.
Триває процес дифузії 60-90 хв., її продуктами є дифузійний сік з вмістом цукру 15 % по відношенню до маси буряка і жом, який містить клітковину, геміцелюлозу і пектинові речовини. Для живлення дифузійного апарату використовують барометричну, жомопресову і свіжу воду.

Мікробіологічні процеси в дифузійному апараті.

Дифузійний сік є сприятливим середовищем для розвитку бактерій, грибків і інших мікроорганізмів. Частина мікроорганізмів руйнують сахарозу, збільшують вміст у соку моносахаридів і продуктів їхнього розпаду, переважно кислот, що дають із кальцієм розчинні солі. Деякі мікроорганізми, навпаки, синтезують із сахарози полімери глюкози й фруктози — декстран і левулан.

Джерелом інфікування дифузійного апарата є насамперед буряк. В 1 см³ води на поверхні добре вимитого буряка міститься близько 1 млн різних мікроорганізмів, а на погано відмитому — 10-20 млн. Для зменшення інфікування буряк промивають на водовідокремлювачах, застосовують для миття чисту, а якщо можна, і хлоровану воду.

Другим джерелом інфікування є вода, що надходить у дифузійний апарат. Вода з відкритих водойм, особливо при повторному її використанні, дуже інфікована мікробами. Температура її дорівнює 45-50 °C, тобто недостатня для її стерилізації. У процесі водопідготовки воду обробляють сірчистим газом, який має сильну бактерицидну дію, до рН 6,2-6,5. (оскільки барометрична вода перед подачею в дифузійний апарат також сульфітується для зниження рН до 6,2-6,5, тому вона вважається стерильною).

Третє джерело інфікування — жомопресова вода. Вводять її в дифузійний апарат тільки після пастеризації (нагрівання до 90 °C і витримування у відстійнику). Після такої обробки у воді не можуть бути присутнім життєдіяльні форми мікробів, а лише спороносні.

Для припинення розвитку життєдіяльності мікроорганізмів у дифузійному апараті необхідно підтримувати температуру не нижче 70 °C. Про розвиток мікроорганізмів можна судити по зниженню рН соку нижче 6,2-6,5 тому що продуктами їхньої життєдіяльності є головним чином кислоти. Якщо при правильному веденні технологічного і теплового режимів бажаний результат не отриманий, в апарат уводять дезінфікуючі речовини. Найчастіше для цього застосовується формалін. В останній час запропоновано вводити аноліт.

Максимальний розвиток мікроорганізмів звичайно спостерігається на відстані 1/3 довжини дифузійного апарата від хвостової. Формалін вводять один раз у годину повною дозою (5 л на 1000 ц переробки), щоб уникнути звикання мікроорганізмів.

Дифузійний сік, крім цукру, містить білки, амінокислоти, органічні кислоти, мінеральні солі, пектинові речовини. Має темний колір, кислу реакцію, містить шматочки мезги. Тому його необхідно очищати.

Спочатку відокремлюють мезгу на мезговловлювачах безперервної дії, бо мезга містить протопектин, який в лужному середовищі переходить в розчин і на стадії очищення вапном може утворити желеподібний осад, що ускладнює фільтрацію. Потім здійснюють очищення, яке включає три операції:
 перша дефекація,
 перша сатурація,
 друга дефекація,
 друга сатурація і
 сульфітація (обробка SO3).
Перша дефекація — це обробка 0,25-0,3 % вапном до маси буряка. Її мета:
 нейтралізувати вільні кислоти дифузійного соку,
 осадити значну кількість колоїдних речовин і
 осадити нецукри.
Перша дефекація здійснюється в переддефекаторах. Триває 3-5 хвилин, рН середовища 11,0-11,5. Під час дефекації аніони кислот, що утворять із кальцієм нерозчинні солі, випадають в осад, меншою мірою осаджуються аніони інших дикарбонових кислот.

Білки буряка складаються головним чином з кислих амінокислот і точка їхньої еквівалентності перебуває в лужному середовищі (при рH 11). При подальшій дії вапна відбувається лужний гідроліз білка і осад частково розчиняється.

Пектинові речовини в лужному середовищі розкладаються на речовини їм супутні — арабан, галактан, арабінозу і галактозу. Естерифікована полігалактуронова кислота (пектинова) утворює солі пектинової кислоти — пектинати, які нерозчинні у воді і випадають в осад. При подальшій дії вапна відбувається деестерифікація пектинової кислоти і утворюються осади пектата кальцію які важко відфільтровуються. Темнозабарвлені
меланіни також переходять в осад, і сік стає світло-жовтого кольору.

Як видно з викладеного вище, на першій дефекації утворюються значна кількість нерозчинних сполук у вигляді колоїдних і кристалічних осадів.
Перша сатурація здійснюється з метою додаткового очищення соку шляхом адсорбції на свіжеутворених кристалах СаСО3 зважених часток і розкладання сахаратів кальцію. Сік разом з осадом надходить у сатуратор, де через нього продувають СО2. Цей газ одержують на цукрових заводах шляхом спалювання вапняку в печах при високій температурі. 10 % вапна в соку знаходиться в розчині, а 90 % у вигляді осаду. При продуванні СО2 все надлишкове вапно випадає в осад у вигляді СаСО3. Перша сатурація здійснюється у протиточному решітчастому сатураторі. Дефекований сік надходить зверху, а газ — знизу, крізь решітки. Відбувається при температурі 80-85 °C 10 хв.

Друга дефекація. Перше завдання другої дефекації — додавання до соку великої кількості вапна (2,0-2,5 % СаО до маси буряка у вигляді молочка) для одержання так званого фізично активного вапна, необхідного для проведення процесів адсорбції на II сатурації, створення гарних умов фільтрації соку і більш повного освітлення дифузійного соку.

Друге завдання основної дефекації — розкладання речовин, нестійких у лужному середовищі.

Моносахариди розкладаються з утворенням органічних кислот, що дають із кальцієм розчинні солі: мурашина, левулинова, цукрова, молочна і т.і. Цей процес закінчується утворенням гумінових кислот. Жири омиляються при дефекації з утворенням нерозчинних у воді кальцієвих солей жирних кислот, а сполуки типу лецитинів утворять ще й осад фосфорнокислого кальцію. Солі жирних кислот утворять осади, які дуже погано відфільтровуються, але, оскільки їхня кількість незначна, істотного впливу на процеси виробництва вони не роблять. Гліцерин залишається в соках.

Аміди кислот розкладаються з виділенням аміаку з утворенням кальцієвих солей відповідних кислот.

Білкові речовини під дією надлишку вапна розкладаються з утворенням альбумоз, пептонів, амінокислот, амідів кислот і їхніх кальцієвих солей. Альбумози і пептони не повністю осаджуються вапном і також утворять осади, які погано фільтруються.

Пектинові речовини. В умовах дефекації відбувається деестерифікація пектинової кислоти, яка при взаємодії з вапном утворює кальцієві солі — пектати. При подальшій дії лугу пектинова кислота розпадається, з утворенням кальцієві солі галактуронової кислоти. Ці осади також дуже важко фільтруються.

Процес дефекації проводять у дефекаційних котлах — вертикальні циліндричні ємності з конічним днищем з мішалкою. Сік подають у нижню частину котла й відбирають у верхній частині через переливну коробку. Осади, які утворилися в нижній частині, періодично спускають через вентиль Ногачевського. Вентиль відрізняється від звичайних тем, що клапан його при відкритті піднімається нагору й піднімає шар осаду, який на ньому лежить. Час перебування соку в котлі — 8-10 хвилин.

Друга сатурація. Мета: зменшити вміст вапна і солей Са в соку до мінімальної межі. Триває 8-10 хв. Вміст солей Са в соку не повинен перевищувати 0,002 % СаО. Друга сатурація відбувається при температурі 101-102 °C.

Фільтрування. Мета — видалення зважених частинок, що не випали у осад. Здійснюється під тиском 0,3-0,4 мПа і температурі 80-90 °C.
Кількість осаду в соку ІІ сатурації в 9-10 разів менше, ніж у соку I сатурації; крім того, осад має значно кращі фільтрувальні властивості. Фільтрацію соків ІІ сатурації здійснювати на фільтр-пресах або дискових фільтрах зі швидкістю фільтрації 8 л/м 2·хв. Фільтри не промивають, а осад повертають на першу дефекацію і потім виводять із виробництва разом з осадом І сатурації. Якість фільтрації соку ІІ сатурації має велике значення. Попадання навіть незначної муті карбонату кальцію на сульфітацію приводить до утворення сульфіту кальцію, розчинність якого вище вуглекислого. У результаті збільшується вміст кальцію в соку, який йде на випарювання, і на випарній станції утвориться накип, який важко видаляється. Тому сік ІІ сатурації піддають контрольної фільтрації (додатковій очисній фільтрації).

Контрольну фільтрацію проводять на мішечному фільтрі, що складається із прямокутного корпуса з похилим дном. Фільтрувальні мішки (серветки) виготовлені з фільтр-діагоналі. Тривалість контрольного фільтрування 2-3 години. Мішки з контрольних фільтрів (також як і фільтраційні полотна з усією іншої фільтраційної апаратури) піддають мийці в спеціальній серветкомийці і використовують повторно.

Сатураційний осад змішується з жомовою водою і відкачується насосами на поля фільтрації (гідравлічне видалення), або використовується для вапнування кислих ґрунтів (сухе видалення пневмотранспортом). Очищений сік направляється на сульфітацію.

Сульфітація — остання стадія очищення соку — обробка SO2. Мета — знебарвлення соку, зменшення його в'язкості, а також його знезаражування. SO2 на цукрових заводах одержують шляхом спалювання сірки в спеціальних печах. В одержаному сульфітаційному газі (сірчистий газ) містить 10-15 % SO2. При пропусканні SO2 крізь сік утворюється сірчиста кислота, яка частково перетворюється у сірчану кислоту. В результаті цього відбувається знебарвлювання соку, а також знижується його лужність. Це значно зменшує в'язкість сиропів і покращує фільтрування. Сірчиста кислота і її солі блокують карбонільні групи глюкози, фруктози, мальтози, чим запобігають утворенню забарвлених речовин в соку. Сульфітація здійснюється в зрошувальних або рідинноструменевих сульфітаторах. Триває 5 хв. Витрати сірки 15 кг на 100 т буряка.

Випарювання соку. Очищений сік містить 14-15 % сухих речовин, у результаті випарювання вміст сухих речовин у сиропі підвищується приблизно до 65 %. У сучасних випарних установках число корпусів, з'єднаних послідовно, коливається від чотирьох до шести. Кожний випарний апарат складається з корпуса, розташованої в ньому поверхнею нагрівання, відвід конденсатів і газів, що не конденсуються (аміачне відтягнення). Інший простір корпуса розділяється на сокову, яка заповнена киплячою рідиною, і надсокову, у якому перебуває сокова пара.

Температурний режим випарної станції наступний: у першому корпусі температура не повинна перевищувати 126 °C, щоб уникнути карамелізації цукру; температура кипіння сиропу в концентраторі становить 63,6 °С. Корисна різниця температур менше повної на величину температурних втрат і становить 51,6 °С. Принцип дії випарної установки наступний. Очищений сік направляється в перший корпус і послідовно переходить із корпуса в корпус. З концентратора 5 видаляється згущений сироп. Свіжа пара надходить тільки в І корпус. ІІ корпус (обігрівається соковою парою I корпуса, ІІІ — соковою парою ІІ корпуса і т. д. З концентратора сокова пара приділяється на конденсатор. Концентратор призначений для одержання сиропу із заданим вмістом СР.

Для багаторазового використання тепла граючої пари, яка надходить в І корпус, у наступних корпусах температура знижується завдяки поступовому зниженню залишковому тиску в надсокових просторах апаратів. В останньому корпусі за рахунок конденсатора воно підтримується на рівні 14,6-21,2 кПа.

Сік, що надходить на випарювання, є насиченим розчином важко розчинних солей кальцію. У міру згущення ці солі випадають із розчину в осад. На початку випарювання бікарбонати інтенсивно розкладаються (якщо вони присутні) і утвориться вуглекислий кальцій. У процесі випарювання концентрація карбонат-іона збільшується, що також приводить до утворення осаду карбонату кальцію. У результаті розкладання оксамитової кислоти утворюється нерозчинний оксалат кальцію.

Розчинність багатьох солей (гіпсу, оксалату кальцію й ін.) з підвищенням концентрації сахарози зменшується, і вони випадають в осад. Нерозчинні солі кальцію частково випадають у процесі випарювання на поверхні нагрівання, внаслідок чого погіршується теплопередача й знижується продуктивність випарної установки. Звичайно на початку випарювання випадає головним чином карбонат кальцію, а потім солі органічних кислот і наприкінці — гіпс.

У цілому в процесі випарювання спостерігається:
 підвищення забарвлення соку внаслідок перетворень вуглеводів;
 зниження лужності внаслідок утворення кислот при розкладанні цукрів і дезамінування амідів і підвищення лужності внаслідок розкладання бікарбонатів;
 утворення накипу в результаті випадання на поверхні нагрівання важко розчинних солей.
Очистка сиропу здійснюється змішуванням з клеровкою (розчином) жовтих цукрів, додаванням кізельгуру (0,1-0,15 %), сульфітацією до рН = 7,5 і фільтруванням підігрітого соку.

Уварювання сиропу здійснюють у вакуум-апаратах періодичної дії при температурі 75-80 °С до концентрації сухих речовин 92,5-93,5 % в 4 стадії:
 згущення сиропу до перенасичення розчину;
 заводка пудри цукру для утворення центрів кристалізації сахарози;
 нарощування кристалів цукру;
 остаточне згущення і спуск утфеля.

У цукровий розчин додають тонкоподрібнену цукрову пудру, яка стає затравкою для виникнення в розчині центрів кристалізації. Потім в апарат додають підігрітий на 2-3 °С вище температури маси в апараті сироп. При попаданні сиропу в апарат з пониженим тиском він бурхливо закипає і тим самим перемішує масу і вирівнює концентрацію. Призначення додавання сиропу — розведення маси і надання розчину метастабільного стану, при якому відбувалося б нарощування кристалів і не було б утворення нових центрів кристалізації.

Продукт, після уварювання сиропу, називають утфелем. Одержаний утфель розділяють у швидкісних центрифугах на товарний цукор-пісок і міжкристалевий розчин (відтік), який знецукрюють на наступних етапах кристалізації. На кристалах залишається тонка плівка, яка надає цукру жовтуватого кольору. Тому цукор промивають (пробілюють) нагрітою до 90-100 °С невеликою кількістю води, внаслідок чого утворюється другий відтік. З автоматизованих центрифуг одержують цукор-пісок вологістю близько 0,8-1,2 %, який грудкується, а під час транспортування легко пошкоджується. Тому його сушать до вологості 0,14 %, охолоджують, звільняють від феромагнітних домішок, у сортувальній машині відділяють грудки і розсіюють на фракції.

Note: PowerShell commands also have the ability to be run in a script with the .ps1 extension but running scripts are disabled by default for security purposes. Firstly, you will need to set the Execution Policy. The cmdlet Get-ExecutionPolicy will show you that the initial policy is set to 'Restricted'. This will prevent scripts from running. You can change it with the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet. There are four options Restricted, Remote-signed, Signed and Unrestricted. We recommend Remote-Signed as it will allow you to run the scripts that you have created locally and still keep your machine secure.
This will need to be saved in a file called something like HelloWorld.ps1.
The reason you need the .\ is because a PowerShell security feature ensures that you are targeting a specific script in a specific location,. And that's all there is to it.
This is how you would display "Hello World" in Perl. It's quite similar to Bash, but note the differences carefully!

McConnell lost on corporate COVID-19 liability, so he found another way to punish workers
The CARES Act passed in March required employers to provide two weeks of paid sick leave to workers who were infected with the coronavirus. McConnell blocked lawmakers from extending that requirement in this package. Those two weeks of paid leave were required for sick employees, for employees who needed to care for a quarantining relative, and there was an additional 10-week paid leave requirement for workers with children whose schools or day cares closed for pandemic-related reason. It's gone now with McConnell's assistance, Republican and Democratic congressional aides confirmed to BuzzFeed News. But what did get extended was a tax credit to business, fully subsidizing the cost of paying out sick leave through next March. So businesses, if they feel like it, can extend the leave and be reimbursed. What this means is that people who are sick are going to keep going to work because they have to. They are going to infect their coworkers and their customers, because it's that or have no income.
The original provision wasn't perfect, exempting big businesses with more than 500 employees straight out and allowing small business with fewer than 50 employees to apply for exemptions. And two weeks of paid leave in a pandemic is wildly inadequate, far less than any other advanced nation has done—most of the others mandate paid sick leave all the time. Nevertheless, a study by Health Affairs found it worked to slow the spread of COVID-19. It also cost far less than projected, with just $1.3 billion claimed in tax credits compared to the projections that it would cost $105 billion. So doing the right thing by workers was actually helping and businesses weren't overburdened. There was absolutely no reason for McConnell to do this other than sheer cruelty to working people.

Cypress Hill's self-titled debut album came out in 1991 and sold over 2 million copies. They followed that with the release of the triple-platinum album Black Sunday, which saw the group crossing-over to mainstream with their mega-hit "Insane in the Brain." Being the first Latino-American hip-hop group to have RIAA certified platinum and multi-platinum albums, Cypress Hill is widely respected as one of the most important groups in hip-hop history. The GRAMMY® nominated, record-setting group has sold over 18 million albums worldwide and is considered to be amongst the main progenitors of West Coast rap and hip-hop in the early 1990s. With their debut album still at the top of the charts, they became the first rap group to have 2 albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 at the same time when their second album, Black Sunday, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in 1993. Black Sunday also broke records as the highest SoundScan recording for a rap group up until that time.
