Obama Considers Foreclosure Ban, by Carrie Bay, Dsnews.com
President Obama and his administration are floating an idea to prohibit lenders from foreclosing on a home unless the borrower has been considered for the government's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).
The proposal would require servicers to initiate contact with all borrowers who are 60 or more days behind on their mortgage payments and offer them access to the federal modification program. Only after the homeowner has been screened under the HAMP guidelines and it is determined that the loan cannot be saved, could foreclosure proceedings commence. The proposal would also halt any foreclosures already in process once a borrower has been accepted into the trial phase of the program.
The proposal was reviewed by lenders last week on a White House conference call and "prohibits referral to foreclosure until borrower is evaluated and found ineligible for HAMPor reasonable contact efforts have failed," Bloomberg Newsreported, citing a Treasury Department document outlining the plan.
Some lenders have been voluntarily suspending foreclosure proceedings while they evaluate a homeowner's eligibility for HAMP, but under the program's current guidelines there is no requirement to do so, and a number of homeowner advocacy groups have submitted complaints to the administration that even borrowers who are making their trial payments are being hit with foreclosure litigation.
A Treasury spokesperson confirmed that a foreclosure ban is under consideration, but stressed that it is one of many ideas on the table and has not been approved yet.
Laurie Goodman, a senior managing director at the Amherst Securities Group who has been highly critical of the government's modification program, told the New York Times that even if the proposal came to pass, it would.
not be "a major change. We think there is a large public relations element to this," she said.
As the Times noted, the government could use some favorable public relations for its modification program. Lawmakers have begun to openly express their disappointment with the program. On Thursday, members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said matter-of-factly in a report, that by every practical measure, "HAMP has failed."
Reps. Darrell Issa (R-California) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) called the program a misuse of taxpayer money, theWashington Post said. The program has been allocated $75 billion to pay incentives to servicers, investors, and borrowers for loan restructurings, but the paper says that so far only $15 million has been spent.
As of the end of January, 116,297 troubled mortgages had been permanently modified under HAMP. About 830,000 more were in the trial phase of the program. The administration's goal is to help three to four million borrowers save their homes through the program by the end of 2012.
News of a draft document by the Treasury outlining additional changes to HAMP also circulated this week. Besides the proposed ban on foreclosures until after aHAMP review, the administration is also considering implementing a mandatory 30-day appeal period for borrowers that are denied a federal modification. Servicers would not be allowed to proceed with a foreclosure sale during this time.
The proposal would also require servicers to prove that they have made multiple attempts to contact delinquent borrowers both by phone and via written notices, and would require them to consider HAMP applications from homeowners that have already filed for bankruptcy.
Lenders have expressed concern that the proposed requirements would prolong foreclosure delays beyond the current 12 month timeline that it typically takes to resolve the loans that don't qualify for a modification.
Earlier this month at the American Securitization Forum's annual meeting, Seth Wheeler, a senior advisor at the Treasury Department, told mortgage bond investors and lenders that the administration is also considering revising HAMP's net present value (NPV) model in order to incorporate more principal writedowns into the equation. The NPV test is applied to determine if the mortgage owner can recoup more money by restructuring the loan or by foreclosing.

Lack of BIA nominee puzzles Indian Country
It's a businessman from Oklahoma. It's someone without direct Indian affairs experience. It's a Neal McCaleb type. It's a Chippewa tribal member.
Eight months after Neal McCaleb stepped down as head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the White House has yet to name a replacement. The delay has fueled speculation and rumor about the identity of a potential nominee, but also has renewed concerns that Indian Country ranks low on the Bush administration's priority list.
As the BIA undergoes a reorganization and with more and more time and resources being dedicated to trust reform, tribal leaders and Indian advocates say the Department of Interior is at a critical juncture. That's why, to them, it's all the more curious that there hasn't been a new assistant secretary.
"I believe [the delay] does have a negative impact," said John Gonzales, governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo in northern New Mexico. "Going this long without having anyone nominated is puzzling and I have no idea why it has taken this long to announce a nominee."
Aurene Martin, an attorney and former GOP Senate aide, has been serving as acting assistant secretary since January. While there have not been significant complaints about her performance, there is no push to place her in permanent status either.
"I don't know far away the department is in picking the new assistant secretary [but] I just want to tell you doing a very fine job in fulfilling a difficult job," Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.), Martin's former boss, said at a Senate hearing last month.
Running the BIA is often regarded as one of the most challenging jobs in federal government. From trust to gaming to federal recognition, the agency has come under increasing scrutiny from the courts, Congress and the public.
That's why Tex Hall, president of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and chairman of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of North Dakota, believes the lack of a nominee is detrimental to Indian Country. "I think the ship needs a captain, a permanent captain," he said. "Otherwise we're going to get differing viewpoints, conflicting information, lack of communication and lack of consultation. That's kind of where we're at right now. It's not the best of times for the BIA and the Department of Interior in its relationship with tribes."
Even officials at other federal agencies that work with BIA are have given up, citing disarray as a result of the ongoing reorganization. "We can't find someone to work with at BIA," said one Bush political appointee.
Nedra Darling, a BIA spokesperson, insisted that the leadership void is not affecting business. "Our programs are running every day." she said . "We're getting ready to get kids back in school at the end of the month. Our acting assistant secretary has taken on the responsibility as the assistant secretary."
"We're full force ahead," she added. "We're still getting other things done."
McCaleb, an engineer by trade from Oklahoma, stepped down last December, citing pressure from the litigation over Indian trust funds. "That should not have happened," Don Gray, a trust lawyer in private practice, told a Senate committee last last week. "That moral cost is no joke -- it's high."
Although McCaleb was eventually cleared of contempt charges, they clearly took a toll on him that looms over a new nominee. Keith Harper, a Native American Rights Fund (NARF) attorney for the case, said a replacement is needed to settle the long-running feud over how much is owed to Indian account holders throughout the country.
"To the extent that an assistant secretary can aid in that process," he said, "we think it's important to get somebody in place."
There have been eight assistant secretaries since the position was first elevated to that level in the late 1970s. Besides McCaleb, only one has resigned prematurely.

AEM-Technology has started the manufacture of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) for MBIR – the multipurpose sodium-cooled fast neutron research reactor that is under construction at the site of the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) at Dmitrovgrad, which is in Russia's Ulyanovsk region. AEM-Technology is part of Atomenergomash, itself a subsidiary of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom.
AEM Technology said today that work on welding the upper part of the RPV had started at the production site of heavy machine-building company Atommash, which is another Rosatom subsidiary.
The completed RPV will weigh 83 tonnes, be more than 12 metres long and be 4 metres in diameter, according to the company statement. AEM-Technology will produce a total of 14 pieces of equipment and supporting structures for MBIR, weighing more than 360 tonnes, it added.
"MBIR will demonstrate our company's technological ability," Vitaly Shishov, head of production at AEM-Technology's Volgodonsk site, said in the same company statement. "MBIR is a fundamentally new project that presents us with serious work to do," he said, "both in terms of the quality of the equipment and in the organisation of our production operations."
AEM Technology has said previously that construction of the demonstration reactor should be completed by 2020.
Rosatom launched a tender for the design, manufacture and supply of the components in late December 2013. AEM-Technology was awarded the contract to supply the RPV and its cap, together with the core internals for the sodium-cooled MBIR. The vessel will be enclosed within a safety container in case of sodium loss.
The MBIR will replace the BOR-60 experimental fast reactor that has been in operation at NIIAR's site since 1969.

This article is about the Iris of Greek mythology. For other uses, see Iris (disambiguation).
In Greek mythology, Iris (/ˈaɪrᵻs/; Greek: Ἶρις) is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. She is also known as one of the goddesses of the sea and the sky. Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other, and into the depths of the sea and the underworld.
According to Hesiod's Theogony, Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and the cloud nymph Electra. Her sisters are Arke and the Harpies; Aello, Celaeno, and Ocypete.
During the Titanomachy, Iris, was the messenger of the Olympian Gods, while her twin sister Arke, betrayed the Olympians and became the messenger of the Titans.
Iris is frequently mentioned as a divine messenger in the Iliad which is attributed to Homer, but does not appear in his Odyssey, where Hermes fills that role. Like Hermes, Iris carries a caduceus or winged staff. By command of Zeus, the king of the gods, she carries an ewer of water from the River Styx, with which she puts to sleep all who perjure themselves. According to Apollonius Rhodius, Iris turned back the Argonauts Zetes and Calais who had pursued the Harpies to the Strophades ('Islands of Turning'). The brothers had driven off the monsters from their torment of the prophet Phineus, but did not kill them upon the request of Iris, who promised that Phineus would not be bothered by the Harpies again.
Iris is married to Zephyrus, who is the god of the west wind. Their son is Pothos (Nonnus, Dionysiaca). According to the Dionysiaca of Nonnos, Iris' brother is Hydaspes (book XXVI, lines 355-365).
In Euripides' play Heracles, Iris appears alongside Lyssa, cursing Heracles with the fit of madness in which he kills his three sons and his wife Megara. In some records she is a sororal twin to the Titaness Arke (arch), who flew out of the company of Olympian gods to join the Titans as their messenger goddess during the Titanomachy, making the two sisters enemy messenger goddesses. Iris was said to have golden wings, whereas Arke had iridescent ones. She is also said to travel on the rainbow while carrying messages from the gods to mortals. During the Titan War, Zeus tore Arke's iridescent wings from her and gave them as a gift to the Nereid Thetis at her wedding, who in turn gave them to her son, Achilles, who wore them on his feet. Achilles was sometimes known as podarkes (feet like [the wings of] Arke.) Podarces was also the original name of Priam, king of Troy.
Iris also appears several times in Virgil's Aeneid, usually as an agent of Juno. In Book 4, Juno dispatches her to pluck a lock of hair from the head of Queen Dido, that she may die and enter Hades. In book 5, Iris, having taken on the form of a Trojan woman, stirs up the other Trojan mothers to set fire to four of Aeneas' ships in order to prevent them from leaving Sicily.
Iris had numerous poetic titles and epithets, including Chrysopteron (Golden Winged), Podas ôkea (swift footed) or Podênemos ôkea (wind-swift footed), Roscida (dewy), and Thaumantias or Thaumantos (Daughter of Thaumas, Wondrous One). Under the epithet Aellopus (Ἀελλόπους) she was described as swift-footed like a storm-wind. She also watered the clouds with her pitcher, obtaining the water from the sea.
Iris is represented either as a rainbow, or as a beautiful young maiden with wings on her shoulders. As a goddess, Iris is associated with communication, messages, the rainbow and new endeavors.
The word iridescence is derived in part from the name of this goddess.
The adjective for a rainbow is iridal.
"Arco iris" and "arco-íris" are the words for "rainbow" in Spanish and Portuguese, respectively, where "Arco" means "bow" in English.
The iris of the eye is named after her, to reflect the many colours of the eye.
In 1946, Iris was depicted on a 50-franc airmail stamp in France. This was accompanied the same year by a 40-franc airmail stamp depicting a centaur shooting an arrow into the sky.
Iris appears as a character in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest (1611).
Iris appears in the Disney movie Fantasia at the end of the segment featuring the Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven.
Iris is a character used in the Percy Jackson and The Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan.
Iris appears in "Ransom" by Australian author David Malouf.
↑ R. S. P. Beekes has rejected previous Indo-European derivations and suggested a Pre-Greek one (Etymological Dictionary of Greek, Brill, 2009, p. 598).
↑ The Iliad, Book II, "And now Iris, fleet as the wind, was sent by Jove to tell the bad news among the Trojans."

Q: Servlet 3.x get POST body and use request.getParameter() at the same time in tomcat 7 In our case, we want to get raw POST body and use request.getParameter() at the same time. But if we call request.getParameter(), we would not able to read raw body.
I found a solution for servlet 2.x Http Servlet request lose params from POST body after read it once.
But for servlet 3.x, ServletInputStream API is changed. The ServletInputStream now has abstract isReady(), isFinished() and setReadListener() to deal with non-blocking IO which must be implemented. Any idea to do this in servlet 3.x?
And for tomcat 7, it seems it doesn't call getInputStream when parsing parameter.

A: The new Servlet 3.1 methods in ServletInputStream could be implemented as follows, extended the linked solution:
public class CachedServletInputStream extends ServletInputStream {
    private ByteArrayInputStream input;

    public CachedServletInputStream(byte[] cached) {
      /* create a new input stream from the cached request body */
      input = new ByteArrayInputStream(cached);
    }

    public int read() throws IOException {
        return input.read();
    }

    public boolean isFinished() {
        return input.available() == 0;
    }

    public boolean isReady() {
        return true;
    }

    public void setReadListener(ReadListener listener) {
        listener.onAllDataRead();
    }
}

Not sure if the ReadListener also needs a callback to onDataAvailable(). Alternatively you could also throw an UnsupportedOperationException from that method which maybe never is called in your application.

In the last two weeks I have recieved two phone calls from the boys school with Gabe on the other end saying in his very soft gentle voice, "Mom I am sick."
The first time I went to the school, no questions asked, picked him up and brought him home and was amazed at his instant and miraculous recovery (within seconds of walking in the door).
The second time I was a little more suspicious. When I got to the school to pick him up I asked his teacher quietly, "did something happen?" She assured me nothing had happened that she was aware of and he is doing great in school.
So when I got him in the truck and he again seemed to get better at an unheard of rate, I knew something was up.
I asked him what is wrong.
He said nothing was wrong.
I asked if he should go back to school?
He said no, his stomach hurt.
I was getting a bit annoyed now. He can't be missing school all the time pretending to be sick.
We were now driving into the city to pick up Seth and the entire drive I was trying to figure out what the problem with him might be.
When we got to Seth's school I was questioning Gabe more trying to get to the bottom of this.
I said, "Are you really sick?"
I asked why he wanted to come home, he just stared at me and shrugged his shoulders.
After the kids went to bed Drew and I talked about what to do for a little while. I told him maybe I should keep Gabe home tomorrow. Drew is never for the children missing school; he has only taken a handful of sick days our whole married life, and has a super human work ethic. I on the other hand believe there is a place for balance.
After our talk Drew packs up to head out of town for the week. He told me he is okay with whatever I decided to do, even though I was not yet 100% sure what to do.
It seems like a simple thing but there has to be more to this than him just wanting to not be at school. I know he loves school. Gabe is such a kind boy; he is pleasing to a fault, and is never selfish.
It was still kind of early and I decided to go to bed. When I got into bed I layed there for almost 2 hours tossing and turning thinking about Gabe. I have no idea why. So after not winning the sleep battle I sat up in bed and decided to do something I had not done in a while. I decided to pray for Gabe.
I figure, if Heavenly Father made him first, he probably knows him the best.
So I asked why Gabe is pretending to be sick, and could he explain to me how Gabe is feeling.
A simple prayer... but I have been/am not really great at it.
I layed back down for 30 more minutes (it's 1:20 am now) and then I for some reason started remembering a time when I was in elementary school. I hadn't been thinking about it previously, so it was interesting that it came to mind.
I was maybe in grade 3 or 4? I don't really remember that part but I was around Gabe's age.
I was outside at recess playing with friends. Something happened and I remember falling and then having one of my other friends fall on my head.
I do remember it really hurt. The teacher supervisor came over and then I remember somehow being in one of the classrooms inside the school.
I do know my head really hurt, but if I am being honest I know it did not warrant the ambulance ride on the spinal board and neck brace to our little town hospital that I wound up with.
By 4 am I had hardly slept but I think I understood what might be going on with Gabe a little better and I finally fell asleep. When the alarm when off at 6:30am I jumped out of bed; Gabe and I were going to have a special day together. When I finished getting ready and came downstairs to make lunches I told him he was going to miss school today and that I had a TON of baking to do that I needed his help with (Gabe LOVES to bake)... his face just lit up.
We spent the day talking, laughing, and cooking. We talked about how important it is to not miss school (on Drew's request) - I think it was a good day. After spending all day together it made me feel close to Gabe. We worked together and it was good for us both to laugh and to spend unrushed time together doing something we both enjoy.
It showed me that maybe when they are little and don't have the words to say "mom can we just hang out" they still might be saying it, just in a different way. It also showed me there is still value in my role, because sometimes I forget.
Here are the spoils of the day!
Gabe did the lattice all by himself! He made an apple and a pumpkin pie, and they were fantastic.
I am grateful for this gift of motherhood. And I am grateful the universe does not leave me without help when it comes to these little creatures.
I am grateful for English Sam who watched the kids so I could go to physio tonight because Drew is out of town.
I am grateful the physio student had a good sense of humor tonight after our prank on him last week.
I am grateful for PG who put me in a room when he played darts with IMS needles on my back. That was very nice to be able to scream in private. Thank you.


The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to be without Matthew Dellavedova for at least four weeks after it was confirmed today that the point guard has suffered a MCL sprain in his left knee.
Dellavedova's main assets come on the defensive side of the ball, offering crucial help off the bench in place of Kyrie Irving, and the Australian will be a miss over the coming weeks especially considering Cleveland's initial struggles on defense this season.
Missing a key role player is not the ideal situation for rookie NBA head coach David Blatt and with the best case scenario (four weeks out) suggesting that Dellavedova will miss at least 12 regular season games the Cavaliers roster will have to step up.
The Australian picked up the injury during the team's 101-82 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers and has missed the past two games for Cleveland. The Cavaliers have already iven up over 100 points in four of their first five contests and would have liked to be able to keep all their players healthy early on so as to give the roster a chance to get to grips with new schemes.
The bright note for Cavaliers fans is that at least their new 'big three' of Kyrie Irving, LeBron James and Kevin Love remain healthy.
But with 3 losses in their first five it is certainly not the start Cavaliers fans had hoped for following the return of their hero LeBron James this summer.
They will be hoping though that when Dellavedova comes back in December they will be in possession of a winning record.


Best known for her roles as Maude Findlay in Maude and as Dorothy Zbornak in The Golden Girls, Bea Arthur is a favorite actress of the 1970s and 1980s, known for her outspokenness. Being outspoken certainly didn't stop the tall, deep-voiced actress from winning critical and public acclaim. She was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series nine times.
The actress was born Bernice Frankel on May 13, 1922, in Brooklyn, New York, to Philip and Rebecca Frankel. In the years of the Great Depression, her family left New York and opened a clothing store in Cambridge, Maryland.
Bea Arthur was among the first women to become an active-duty United States Marine, although she never spoke about her time spent in the Marine Corps, presumably because she thought it was a personal matter.
For years she denied having any military experience but, one year after she passed away, the Smoking Gun uncovered some documents that showed the actress spent 30 months serving as a truck driver and typist.
The Marine Corps was almost exclusively male until World War II except for the 305 female Marines who enlisted back in 1918 and served during World War I. However, a year after the United States entered World War II, the Marine Corps opened its ranks to both genders, most likely due to personnel shortages.
Usually called Women Reservists, they served in non-combat positions but played an important role in the war effort. The Maude and Golden Girls star enlisted in 1943 at 21 years of age and, according to the website, was first assigned as a typist at Marine headquarters in Washington, D.C. During her military career, she also served at Marine Corps and Navy air stations in Virginia and North Carolina, reportedly advancing through the ranks, moving from private to corporal, to sergeant, to staff sergeant, before she received her honorable discharge in 1945.
About a year after Frankel joined the Marines, she married a fellow Marine named Robert Alan Aurthur and eventually changed her name in military records to Bernice Arthur. As soon as she started her acting career, Bernice would again change her name, adjusting it to Bea Arthur.
Arthur returned to New York to study acting at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School, joining the famed Actors Studio where she would meet her second husband, Gene Saks. The couple got married shortly after the actress divorced her first husband in 1950.
The following year, she appeared for the first time on television in a series titled Once Upon a Tune, but getting the role of Lucy Brown in the U.S. premiere of Threepenny Opera is what marked the early years of her acting career. In 1966, Bea Arthur won a Tony Award for her supporting role in Mame.
In 1971, Arthur took a guest role on CBS' All in the Family as Maude Findlay, Edith Bunker's cousin, and a year later, starred in had her own spin-off show, Maude. She became very popular and earned five Emmy nominations for her role in Maude, which ran for six years on CBS.
About 13 years after Maude began, The Golden Girls premiered on television and Bea Arthur once again found herself in the national spotlight, forever cementing her place in the history of Hollywood as one of the greatest comic actresses. But Bea Arthur is way more than just a Hollywood star, becoming a symbol for the independent woman and a strong advocate for LGBT rights.
What remains a mystery about Arthur's life is why she never chose to speak about her 30 months spent in the military. This part of her life remains an enigma.


Long-form video viewing on digital devices has achieved ubiquity, says Lauren Weinberg, VP Strategic Research & Insights at Yahoo, in this interview with Beet.TV. More than 90% of consumers in all age groups from 13 to 54 now watch long-form video on digital devices, according to a study of online consumers conducted in the fall by search giant Yahoo.
For many teens and millenials, watching TV and movies on digital screens is quickly replacing viewing them on the TV, the study found. The size of the screen plays a role, Weinberg tells us. Nearly half of consumers watch long-form content on their smartphones. As tablet size increases for phones, so does the viewing of video on those screens, she says. "We are seeing triple digit growth in terms of the time being spent when we compare typical smartphone devices to 'phablets' in categories such as sports, entertainment and news," she says.
The Yahoo study also found that long-form TV viewing is rising on connected TVs, with about 80% of consumers saying they now watch long-form video in such a fashion. In general, viewers prefer shorter ads on digital devices. Even so, brands have ample opportunity to experiment with new ad forms. "As more original content comes online, that offers brands unique opportunities for integration and to get creative in ways that might have been more limited when they were on TV," she says.

The text for L'Ombre de la Croix, written by the brothers Jerome and Jean Tharaud, was published by Editions Lapina, Paris, 1931, in two volumes, and was illustrated with 73 Brangwyn etchings. The book describes the lives of Jews in contemporary Europe and many of Brangwyn's illustrations appear to depict the town of Belz in Poland, which was a centre of pilgrimage. Brangwyn is not known to have visited Poland and current research suggests that a large proportion of the etchings were based on photographs.

\section*{Appendix: Details of calculations}

To clarify some of the physical content behind the condition for entanglement,
Eq. (\ref{3+1 condition}), we outline here the important steps in
its derivation.

As already noted, in the absence of a mass term, the Dirac equation
decouples into a pair of equations for quanta of a definite handedness.
However, it is only in the Weyl representation of the Gamma matrices
\begin{equation}
\gamma_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
\mathbf{0} & \mathbf{1}\\
\mathbf{1} & \mathbf{0}\end{array}\right),\qquad\gamma_{i}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
\mathbf{0} & \sigma_{i}\\
\sigma_{i} & \mathbf{0}\end{array}\right),\label{A1}\end{equation}
that these equations reduce from four component equations to two.
Taking the spinors to be normalised to unity we then have \begin{equation}
u_{r}\left(\vec{p}\right)=v_{r}\left(\vec{p}\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2p\left(p-p_{z}\right)}}\left(\begin{array}{c}
p_{x}-ip_{y}\\
p-p_{z}\end{array}\right),\qquad u_{l}\left(\vec{p}\right)=v_{l}\left(\vec{p}\right)=u_{r}\left(-\vec{p}\right).\label{A2}\end{equation}
Focusing on the right handed vacuum, in terms of the Fourier expansion
of the field the emission and exchange terms are given by \begin{equation}
\left\Vert E_{i}\right\Vert ^{2}=\int\frac{d^{3}pd^{3}q}{\left(2\pi\right)^{6}}v_{r}^{\dagger}\left(\vec{q}\right)u_{r}\left(\vec{p}\right)u_{r}^{\dagger}\left(\vec{p}\right)v_{r}\left(\vec{q}\right)\left|\tilde{\epsilon}_{i}\left(\Omega_{i}+p+q\right)\right|^{2},\label{A3}\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\left\langle 0\mid X_{AB}\right\rangle =-\int\frac{d^{3}pd^{3}q}{\left(2\pi\right)^{6}}v_{r}^{\dagger}\left(\vec{p}\right)u_{r}\left(\vec{q}\right)u_{r}^{\dagger}\left(\vec{q}\right)v_{r}\left(\vec{p}\right)e^{i\left(\vec{p}+\vec{q}\right)\cdot\left(\vec{x}_{A}-\vec{x}_{B}\right)}\tilde{\epsilon}_{A}\left(\Omega_{A}+p+q\right)\tilde{\epsilon}_{B}\left(\Omega_{B}-p-q\right),\label{A4}\end{equation}
where we have already carried out the temporal integration. Plugging
in the expressions for the spinors we get \begin{equation}
\left\Vert E_{i}\right\Vert ^{2}=\int\frac{d^{3}pd^{3}q}{\left(2\pi\right)^{6}}\frac{1}{2}\left(1+\frac{\vec{p}\cdot\vec{q}}{pq}\right)\left|\tilde{\epsilon}_{i}\left(\Omega_{i}+p+q\right)\right|^{2},\label{A5}\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\left\langle 0\mid X_{AB}\right\rangle =-\int\frac{d^{3}pd^{3}q}{\left(2\pi\right)^{6}}\frac{1}{2}\left(1+\frac{\vec{p}\cdot\vec{q}}{pq}\right)e^{i\left(\vec{p}+\vec{q}\right)\cdot\left(\vec{x}_{A}-\vec{x}_{B}\right)}\tilde{\epsilon}_{A}\left(\Omega_{A}+p+q\right)\tilde{\epsilon}_{B}\left(\Omega_{B}-p-q\right).\label{A6}\end{equation}
In spherical coordinates the integration over angles is straightforward.
\begin{equation}
\left\Vert E_{i}\right\Vert ^{2}=2\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{dpdq}{\left(2\pi\right)^{4}}p^{2}q^{2}\left|\tilde{\epsilon}_{i}\left(\Omega_{i}+p+q\right)\right|^{2},\label{A7}\end{equation}
\begin{eqnarray}
\left\langle 0\mid X_{AB}\right\rangle  & = & -2\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{dpdq}{\left(2\pi\right)^{4}}\frac{pq}{L^{2}}\left[Cos\left(\left(p+q\right)L\right)-\frac{p}{L}Cos\left(pL\right)Sin\left(qL\right)-\frac{q}{L}Sin\left(pL\right)Cos\left(qL\right)\right.\nonumber \\
 &  & \left.+\frac{pq}{L^{2}}Sin\left(pL\right)Sin\left(qL\right)\right]\tilde{\epsilon}_{B}\left(\Omega_{A}+p+q\right)\tilde{\epsilon}_{B}\left(\Omega_{B}-p-q\right),\label{A8}\end{eqnarray}
where $L:=\left|\vec{x}_{A}-\vec{x}_{B}\right|$. If we now switch
to the variables $\omega=p+q$ and $\upsilon=p-q$, then integrating
over $\upsilon$, Eq. (\ref{3+1 condition}) quickly follows.

We note that the $Cos\left(\omega L\right)$ term on the LHS of Eq.
(\ref{3+1 condition}) arises from the angular integration over both
the $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{\vec{p}\cdot\vec{q}}{2pq}$ terms resulting
from the spinor products. Were the $\frac{\vec{p}\cdot\vec{q}}{2pq}$
term absent, we would not be able to distill entanglement at any distance
$L$. It is interesting that this implies that we cannot realise our
distillation protocol in the real scalar vacuum via a square coupling.

Well, for the classical opera repertoire it would be a fairly weak claim. You don't rearrange say, Mozart, much, if at all. Most opera doesn't really have choreography. It could but basically, it has direction. Set design is most clearly covered by copyright, but it would be difficult to enforce outside of blatant rips of distinctive designs. Clothing and fashion generally can't be copyrighted.
In the past, only the work of playwrights, choreographers and set designers has been deemed protected by law, but for direction, and costume and lighting design, the situation is much more fuzzy, Shechtman says.
New York side of the dispute had the support of directors' union the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, which aimed to use the case to boost its longstanding argument for the establishment of a director's copyright on certain staging choices.
The Dramatists Guild of America, which has taken a stance against such a copyright to protect revenues for its member scribes, swiftly touted an excerpt from a Department of Justice intervention in Mullen v. SSDC, et. al, which states "the Register denies that stage direction, as presented to the Copyright Office for registration, is copyrightable subject matter."
It is dead wrong to suggest that the proper action in the case of uncertainty and unsettled law is to sit back, be careful and wait for the court to make an objective decision to determine the Platonic truth of the law. Copyright law is about actors with competing interest pressing their cases, and the accepted practice and facts on the ground do play an important role in deciding where the lines will be drawn, just like the directors and playwrights are jockeying for position above.
My wife is in arts management and for the small organizations she works with, the assertion of copyright alone would be enough to scare them off.
And, unfortunately you're correct that the intimidation factor fueled by an ignorance of copyright law is the primary enforcement tool of big entities like the Met.


Vigier, F.M., et al., The C solid DNP mechanisms with perchlorotriphenylmethyl radicals - the role of Cl. Phys Chem Chem Phys, 2014.
The microwave frequency swept DNP enhancement, referred to as the DNP spectrum, is strongly dependent on the EPR spectrum of the polarizing radical and it reveals the underlying DNP mechanisms. Here we focus on two chlorinated trityl radicals that feature axially symmetric powder patterns at 95 GHz, the width of which are narrower than those of TEMPOL or TOTAPOL but broader than that of the trityl derivative OX63. The static DNP lineshapes of these commonly used radicals in DNP, have been recently analyzed in terms of a superposition of basic Solid Effect (SE) and Cross Effect (CE)-DNP lineshapes, with their relative contributions as a fit parameter. To substantiate the generality of this approach and further investigate an earlier suggestion that a 35,37Cl-13C polarization transfer pathway, termed "hetero-nuclear assisted DNP", may be in effect in the chlorinated radicals (C. Gabellieri et al., Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2010, 49, 3360-3362), we measured the static 13C-glycerol DNP spectra of solutions of ca. approximately 10 mM of the two chlorinated trityl radicals as a function of temperature (10-50 K) and microwave power. Analysis of the DNP lineshapes was first done in terms of the SE/CE superposition model calculated assuming a direct e-13C polarization transfer. The CE was found to prevail at the high temperature range (40-50 K), whereas at the low temperature end (10-20 K) the SE dominates, as was observed earlier for 13C DNP with OX63 and 1H DNP with TEMPOL and TOTAPOL, thus indicating that this is rather general behavior. Furthermore, it was found that at low temperatures it is possible to suppress the SE, and increase the CE by merely lowering the microwave power. While this analysis gave a good agreement between experimental and calculated lineshapes when the CE dominates, some significant discrepancies were observed at low temperatures, where the SE dominates. We show that by explicitly taking into account the presence of 35/37Cl nuclei through a e-35,37Cl-13C polarization pathway in the SE-DNP lineshape calculations, as proposed earlier, we can improve the fit significantly, thus supporting the existence of the "hetero-nuclear assisted DNP" pathway.

Q: Prevent users from editing master branch in ADF I'm trying to prevent developers from directly editing and committing to the master branch in ADF.
There is a risk that users can accidently make changes in ADF by not creating a feature branch but instead working directly on master (I've done it myself!)
Is there a way to enforce this in ADF? I do have a branch policy on master that only allows merging via a pull request but don't think this stops developers from working directly on master:

A: Another way to achieve this is to require a reviewer.
Select "Branch policies":

Turn on the option "Require a minimum number of reviewers":

Set the number of reviewers to 1.
This example shows "Allow requestors to approve their own changes". This setting is optional. If you set it, the user is still prevented from committing to main/master, but can complete their own PRs.

A: You can deny the contribute permission for the user group in git repo. Check the following official documentation:

The two-time Defensive Player of the Year and NBA Champion has made his mark in Toronto over these past five games. Leading the team with 28 points per game throughout the opening week, some would say Kawhi still isn't 100 percent due to his recent right quadricep injury that occurred last season; an injury that kept Leonard out for a total nine months. But Kawhi has shown that there are no signs of "shaking off the rust." He has become more and more comfortable as the season has gone on, showing his confidence dribbling and shooting the ball beyond the arc at 47.4% thus far. Kawhi has also been known for his slashing and post scoring ability with his brute strength to back down opponents to get to the basket. Simply put - it has not been any easier for The Klaw.
Kawhi is also second on the team in rebounds and steals per game. His hustle and defensive IQ are off the charts, from grabbing rebounds and going coast to coast with ease, and even stealing passes without even looking. These efforts have caught the attention of Raptors fans each and every home game, awarding Leonard with "MVP" chants at the free throw line in all four of Toronto's home games thus far.
Although Kyle Lowry may be the sole reason for the Raptors' team success in this early part of the season, you can't leave out Danny Green who rounds it all out. Leonard, Lowry and Green are almost always on the court together with the trio averaging 30 minutes a game thus far. Lowry, and Green are exactly the kind of support Leonard needs. The par have been unstoppable beyond the arc to start this season. Not only is the shooting ability something that stands out, but the chemistry between these three men is outstanding on offense and defense. When Lowry, Green, and Leonard are all on the court together, they always seem to outscore their opponents, leading the team in point differential with Lowry at 13.8, Green at 14.8, and Leonard leading the way with 15.4. This is why the Toronto Raptors average beating opponents thus far this season by a 11.2-point margin or more.
Head Coach Nick Nurse is still sitting at a perfect record in his NBA coaching career and he's been doing a great job of it. Although it may be a bit early, it seems that Nurse has already set his eyes on his go-to starting 5: Lowry, Green, Leonard, Siakam, and Ibaka. Ibaka says playing at the 5 is better for him and the team giving them more opportunities to spread the floor and score more; and rightfully so. Ibaka is off to a great start this season averaging 15.3 points per game with 7.3 rebounds on 53% shooting. This is largely thanks to Nurse knowing when to play Ibaka, matching him up against other three-point shooting big men or up against big men who cannot guard his three-point shooting ability. Nurse has also done a great job of flowing the lineup together and giving everyone minutes.
If you preform, you get minutes, and that is exactly what Nurse is giving to Norman Powell who scored ten points against the Timberwolves in just 13 minutes of action. Nurse says he isn't finished with finding the right combinations to having the best defensive lineup on the floor at all times. There were some dominant stretches on both ends of the floor but also some errors and mistake the team needs to clean up on going forward.
Fred VanVleet did not play on Wednesday night due to a toe sprain in his right foot. But with Pascal Siakam enrolled in the starting lineup and Jakob Poeltl in San Antonio, the Bench Mob hasn't been the same this season. But one person holding it all together and who continues to get better is Fred VanVleet, the Floor General of the second unit. Playing 24 minutes a game this season and averaging 11.5 points per game, VanVleet has earned his time away from the second unit and playing more with the likes of Lowry and Leonard. Holding his own with the top unit, he also carries the weight of the second unit when scoring isn't on the rise. VanVleet has shown his growth with his superior ball handling and explosiveness to the rim with impressive court vision.
He simply continues to grow.
This Toronto Raptors team continues to grow, continues to get better and they've only played five games. But Raptors fans can't help but think about going all the way and this could be the year. It's still early, but things are looking great for the team and for the city of Toronto. Don't worry about what the future holds or what next season is going to look like. Enjoy what's happening now in what might be the best Raptors team in franchise history.


Team: Greg Allen, Steve Fulford, Gareth Jenkins, Dave Morby, Ray Scandrettt, Simon Bradbury, James Connor, Richard Gathercole, Ricky Marshall, Ant McManus, Dave Wilson. No Subs Available.
Injuries, suspensions and work commitments finally caught up with Coleshill as they struggled to field eleven fit players for the long trip to County Sports. However, those that were available played well against a poor Sports side who are desperate for points near the foot of the table. The first half was very even and a Ray Scandrett effort that hit the bar was the closest Coleshill came. However, defensive errors saw them go two goals behind before a switch in tactics pushed Dave Wilson into a more attacking position. The County defence could not cope with the youngsters pace and when he was felled in the box, captain Ant McManus converted from the spot for his eleventh goal of the season. Wilson continued to cause panic in the home penalty area but Sports held on to secure three valuable points.

Q: php can log but not echo inside foreach I have a foreach loop iterating over an array of objects. The goal is to output data to a table cell from each object in the array.   I go back and forth between HTML and PHP all the time, but this one won't output to the browser.   Inside the loop I can error_log the object, but I can follow directly with an echo statement OR closing PHP to write HTML, and neither of them gets printed.
The funny thing is that this is actually inside another foreach loop that is written exactly the same way and works fine!
Edit: OK, I've simplified the code as much as possible.  The error_log line writes "here" to the error log.   The next line does not echo "here" to the browser!

    <?php
        foreach($form->awards as $award) {
            error_log('here');
            echo 'here';
        }
    ?>

RESULT:  Only the wrapping

 is printed to
  browser.  Nothing inside, though the code is definitely iterating over
  2 objects and console-logging "here" two times.

Things I've tried:

*

*Getting rid of the wrapping

*Storing $form->awards in an array variable and iterating over that

*Erasing and retyping the entire

*Copying the foreach line from other code where it works fine.

*echo versus closing php ?> and using HTML.

*Removing the error_log line

*For the sake of this post I removed the line checking if $form->awards exists.  I know it does in this instance.

*Both echo('here') AND echo 'here';

A: I spend too many hours looking at code!
So I have 2 accordion tabs on the screen with a table inside of each.   I was looking inside the wrong accordion and therefore not seeing that the output WAS getting sent to the browser.
It's hard to believe I spent a couple hours on this, but I'm glad to know I'm not crazy and it was a simple answer.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help.
I will vote to delete this post.

A: In fact, echo is not function, so you need to replace your line:
        echo ('here');

with
        echo 'here';

yes, if you want to use function to print something then you can use print('Here')

DEPLETED URANIUM Outrage is Sweeping Hawai'i
Oct 22, 2007: 11:14 pm
Lindafaye Kroll
The inhabitants and the land of the Marshall Islands and the Bikini Islands were poisoned in the forties due to nuclear testing. Look at Kaho'olawe, still polluted despite over $400 million in cleanup efforts.
"The Strykers and the legacy they would leave are not welcome on Hawai'i."
Krisztine Samu is an outraged Hawai'i resident and tells the Army so during public testimony at the U.S. Army Stryker Brigade Public Hearings in Waimea, on September 26, 2007. She is outraged by the military's shameless and continued contamination of her home, Hawai'i Island…
Please help us Protect Hawai'i. Write the Army before October 30, 2007. Army at: PublicComments@aec.apgea.army.mil
No Stryker Brigade build-up in Hawai'i. Clean-up all live-fire artillery ranges. Cc comments to tenfingers10toes@protecthawaii.ws
This statement written by Krisztine Samu and is reprinted with permission and submitted by Lindafaye Kroll RN BSN as follows…
PLEASE accept my statement of OPPOSITION to the presence of the Stryker Brigade on the island of Hawai'i. Being familiar with the U.S. military's legacy in the Pacific Islands, there is no reason to expect anything different this time.
Look at the Vieques Puerto Rico where the bombing practice resulted in a bomb being dropped on a civilian by mistake; the Navy was eventually forced to leave due to public opposition.
DEPLETED URANIUM contamination is comfirmed at Schofield Barracks, Oahu and at Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawai'i Island.
The Army has admitted the presence of this toxin, and further training/detonations will simply stir more of this dust into the air, blow it downwind into Kona with serious health implications for residents and soldiers alike.
Kona already has higher than normal rates of cancer, diabetes and birth defects. We cannot allow the Strykers to aggravate the situation any further. We need cleanup, not buildup.
Private citizens on the island of Hawai'i are independently monitoring airborne radioactivity spikes and this will continue in an even greater capacity if the Strykers are stationed here.
If the radioactive spikes continue the citizens will surely not stand for it. We can guarantee a grave media backlash and local activism to stop the destruction.

I'm a geek who loves words, so what better way to contribute on Mandela Day than by contributing to Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is written almost entirely by volunteers from around the world. It is one of the most popular sites in South Africa – offered free and without advertising to anyone with an Internet connection. Whatever you think about the credibility of the resource, you have to appreciate that Wikipedia has taught us the value of people working together for no monetary gain to create something of major public value.
Wikipedia is mostly valuable when it's written by people like you and me. The Afrikaans Wikipedia has a dedicated community in South Africa working together to build a rich indigenous language resource. The isiZulu and isiXhosa Wikipedias are smaller but also slowly growing due to the contributions of volunteers. By contributing to these resources, we are able to write our own history, our own view of the world – what could be more valuable?
If you're interested in editing Wikipedia with others on Saturday from 11.30-12.37 in Jozi, please email me.
The future of "the media": What exactly are we trying to save here?
What's with all the crazy people?

Jad Fair
It's Spooky

Whoever thought of getting Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair together was a cold-hearted motherfucker. Johnston, a schizophrenic manic-depressive who believes he will be resurrected 100 years after his death to tour with the Beatles and the Butthole Surfers, and Fair, an eccentric, compulsive songwriter with bad taste in eyewear and a penchant for ranting senselessly, could not possibly be good for each other, or music in general. Maybe Jad just wanted to see if he could outcrazy Johnston. But such a thing is not possible, even for a guy that's made an album of monster songs for children and sports a frizzy homeless-guy hairdo.
Some might think this is a perfectly acceptable match of talents. After all, both musicians often sing about the simple pleasures in life, like falling in love, having fun, and witnessing the apocalypse; they often sing in extreme tenors that sound closer to 11-year-olds' than 40-year-olds'; and they're both sometimes brutally irritating. But after 31 tracks and 70 minutes, you'll realize that this is not natural. Still, It's Spooky stands as the definitive recording of both artists' solo output. Its eternal length is just a testament to the boundless insanity raging within Daniel Johnston's confused mind. This is, after all, primarily Johnston's album, since he wrote the majority of its songs.
You always hear stories about Johnston being "insane." For years, I disregarded them as legend or exaggeration. But any interview with the man will easily convince you otherwise as he discusses his many selves and his delusional battles with Lucifer with deadpan conviction. He never seems even remotely lucid, and has spent several years of his life institutionalized. What a lot of people don't realize is that most of the songs that sound to the casual listener like nauseatingly twee homages to cartoons are actually deeply personal insights into his hallucinatory existence.
"Frankenstein Vs. the World" is a tale of the end times, in which the resurrected Johnston will destroy the planet. "Hands of Love" reveals his fear that he's too deranged to ever find love. "Casper the Friendly Ghost," which is the name he's given to the Daniel Johnston that will exist after his body dies, pertains to how people who mistreat him in life will respect him when he's gone. The title track consists of every day musings like, "Sometimes when I'm watching television/ I think that most of the people in the movie are probably dead." It's obviously impossible for us to relate to his demented ruminations, but you've got to have sympathy for someone so absolutely mental.
Even Johnston's covers generally have deep meaning for him. 60's troubadour Phil Ochs' "Chords of Fame" warns about the dangers of success destroying talent, something Johnston fears could happen to him. "Kicking the Dog," originally by 80's indie rockers Glass Eye, relates to his affection for "Laurie," a girl he was once (and probably still is) obsessed with. Others are taken out of their natural context or twisted into dark views of humanity. Johnston alters the lyrics to Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now" to reflect the casual degeneration of society ("We've got enough pornography/ There is x-rated theaters everywhere/ Lord knows we've got enough crackhouses/ There are crackhouses on every block"). The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" is inverted from an ecstatic acid endorsement to panicked paranoia, ending with Johnston screaming: "No, no! Ladies and gentlemen! Do not surrender to the void! Darkness surrounds you! Don't relax! You'll never get out of that pit!"
Other tracks are considerably more balanced, often recalling actual events. "I Met Roky Erickson" is a play-by-play account about how his friendship with the similarly crackbrained recluse came to fruition (and about how Erickson's mother made them chicken). "McDonald's on the Brain" is a terrible a cappella recollection of his mid-80's fast food career. The plodding "I Did Acid with Caroline," which offers one rage-inducing chord strummed for almost the song's entire duration, is a harmless but creepy remembrance of a romantic drug experience. ("We were one!/ We were one!")
Johnston's irrelevant ramblings are often redeemed by his knack for writing great melodies, and the voyeuristic thrill of listening to a crazy man's musical therapy. And often, Jad Fair refines Johnston's melodies in their collaborations. "Tongues Wag in This Town," "Villian," and the saddening "Nothing Left" are great examples of the two working toward a common goal. But on later tracks, particularly the unlistenable megaphone madness of "Fan and Games," Fair tries too hard at avant-garde and winds up with something you wouldn't even wish upon Anthony Michael Hall.
It's Spooky was recorded in one week (including mixing) and it shows. Any of these tracks could have been infinitely better had they been fleshed out and perfected. Johnston's drumming is really quite awful, and in some instances, seems to be doing its own thing entirely. Fair had actually intended for the two to work more extensively on the project and smooth things out, but the notoriously non-team-playing Johnston insisted that the project be finished by the time he left town.
Beneath the din of disorganization, there are really some excellent songs. It's easy to let Johnston's delirious vocals and hapless meter get in the way-- in fact, they're totally unavoidable. But at their core, these tracks offer insight into a day in the life of a morbidly brainsick individual, and do so with infectious pop tunes you won't be able to shake for days. I can't say I'll listen to it much, but if ever there were evidence that mental illness is contagious, it's just been reissued.


I hope we get more shots of this model now that the cat's out of the bag.
Фишка в том, что на нижней картинке таки не Армата, а... незнамо что!
Note also the cannon... presumably 30mm mounted in the side of the turret that presumably can be used against a range of targets too.
An interesting aspect of the high elevation of the main gun would be that missiles should be able to be lofted to much greater distances making fire and forget diving top attack missiles much more useful and capable.
The sustantial elevation can be useful in indirect fire. The large caliber gun of the tank must be intended to be used as indirect artillery.Krasnapol type guded projectiles come also into mind.
The side gun is mentioned to be a 45 mm. Indeed, very useful against a whole range of armoured and unarmoured targets.
This gun is initially a 125mm high velocity smoothbore gun, and later to be a 152mm smoothbore high velocity gun.
The MBT version that this vehicle is will not be equipped to engage targets with its main gun indirectly.
The high elevation will be useful in hilly country on reverse slopes and aiming at targets well above or below your tank... including in urban areas. It will be point and shoot and visible targets... it wont be used against indirect targets.
The brigade will already have tube and rocket artillery for that sort of job and those assets will be equipped and trained to engage indirect targets very very effectively... in fact more effectively than any previous Russian unit.
It is an unusually short barrel for a 45mm weapon.
Look at the barrel length of the guns on the Kurgan and Boomerang vehicles. The long barrel with muzzle brakes will be either 45 or 57mm and that will be the turret fitted to all Russian IFVs, including armata, and the sensors and electronics will be the same as well.
If the extra gun on the Armata or tank vehicle is a 45mm then I suspect it is not related to the gun on the IFVs and is a lower velocity weapon, perhaps with a custom designed HE shell for dealing with infantry or obstacles with a small stub propellent charge like the 100mm gun of the BMP-3.
The secondary weapon system is either a short barreled 45mm cannon built to shoot HE, or a long barreled 40mm grenade launcher. There also may be a second cannon/grenade launcher in the same place on the other side of the turret but the camera angle is hiding it.
Where is Armata I dont see it , Gur Khan said there was no Armata there.
45mm is a strange calibre to use.
They were working on a 45mm calibre weapon as a main gun but that was a very high velocity weapon designed to penetrate IFVs from 2,000m and tanks from the sides and rear sort of weapon. It was competing with the 57mm weapon based on a modernised S-60 system.
I rather suspect that such a weapon would be an independently elevating 40mm grenade launcher like a Balkan with a longer barrel for increased muzzle velocity for longer range and higher flight speed so the round gets to targets faster. It would still be a relatively low velocity weapon rather than a cannon, but that is OK because low velocity ammo is smaller and you can carry more, and a low velocity round compliments the very high velocity main gun rounds.
Armata is a concept... just like the "replacement AK" is a concept, for which Izhmash is putting forward AK12s and KBP will likely put forward ADS and AEK will put forward an improved model of their weapon and Nikonov will likely put forward a modification of his An-94.
Also like the replacement AK we are talking about a family of rifles perhaps from SMG right up to belt fed light machine gun, and the armata is the same... it will perform every function within a heavy brigade from recon through to air defence and troop transport and gun platform fire support and everything in between. Even the engineer vehicles and recovery vehicles will be armata based.
The model in the photo in post 71 on this thread by Zivo shows a tracked chassis with a turret and a large calibre 125mm gun and tank level armour. In other photos there is a similar 125mm gun mount... though without the extra guns I assume... (unless they fully retract) on a kurganets-25 vehicle.
I rather suspect all sorts of extras on the tank turret that include Shtora 2 and Arena 2 and RWS and or course all sorts of sensors and optics that don't seem to be present on the model of the Kurganets-25 MBT model.
Think of these as base models.
One of the photos we talked about shows Boomerang-25 and Kurganets-25 with 120mm mortar turrets and 45/57mm guns, which we can assume are mortar carrier turret and IFV models, so there will be armata mortar carriers and armata IFVs as well.
As mentioned but not clearly visible in the photos down the far end of the picture were Bereg like 152mm guns mounted on trucks presumably for coastal defence, and the same turret mounted on a tank chassis. This latter is Koalition, which is an Armata based vehicle. Because of the size and weight of the turret, which is unmanned but includes a dual belt feed 152mm artillery gun will be too heavy for Kurganets-25 or Boomerang-25/-10, so I suspect only heavy brigades will have 152mm Koalition, and that the medium brigades might have a lightened shorter range 152mm gun, and light brigades might have rocket equipped vehicles perhaps for mobility and firepower.
Gur khan might be saying that this model does not represent the UVZ armata vehicle.
These vehicles are in model form and might be being used to give the visiting politicians an idea of the concept of what they makers are talking about.
I rather doubt the final IFV turrets will look like that either... there are no panoramic sights, no obvious ERA... no RWS... etc etc.
I wont make out much from the partially seen turret and chassis of the prospective tank and call it Armata or related to it , it could be easily be many of the concept tank that these design bureau work on and could have been demonstrated.
You have to keep in mind the standardisation... the electronics and systems and turret of the armata "tank" vehicle will be the same as the electronics and systems and turret of the Kurganets-25 and boomerang-25 and boomerang-10. There might be minor variations in armament like the tank vehicle for the armata might eventually have a 152mm smoothbore gun, whereas the boomerang-10 might be too light for such a powerful gun and might get the special 125mm gun from the Sprut and be a 6 wheel 16 ton vehicle with a big gun.
There is not likely to be too much variation for the armata design... after all it is a tank level armoured vehicle with an engine in the rear, an unmanned turret in the centre and three crew under very thick very heavily sloped armour at the front.
The simple low profile turret on the Kurganets-25 model makes a lot of sense as it is a very small target that would need little protection, but I rather suspect it is missing a lot of stuff including sights and sensors that they clearly want to keep secret for now.
Note the turrets for the IFVs don't have any obvious APS system, and nor do they have ATGM launchers which I would expect they would have at least Kornet-EM launchers fitted as standard and probably a 30 cal MG and perhaps grenade launcher like upgraded BMP-2s.
I would expect to be impressed when we see full sized products in metal... the T-90AM impressed me once I understood all the design decisions they made, and I expect at least the same for Armata et al.
Better photo of the model tank (Armata??) shown to D. Rogozin at the Motovilika plant in Perm a few days ago.
1)There are 2 weapons (guns/machine guns/grenade launchers on both sides of the turret.
2) there is some sort of flat area at the back of the turret.
3) there are at least 2 crewmembers sitting in the hull. The third member may be also in the hull or under the turret or in the turret.
What is written on the Russian Plaque ? Does it say Armata ?
I can barely read the last line which says: Chassis "Armata"
Some comments looking at the picture.
The Flat Area behind the Turret will likely have ammo with autoloader or just space for ammo.
The third crew is likely to be at the back of turret or inside the turret , I suspect they will completely isolate the crew turret.
For all we know this could be 2 man crew Tank.
Hmmm, the panel does say Armata, wtf? Gur Khan is a reliable source on this, wonder what he has to say.
Looks pretty good otherwise, most of the turret (aside from space for gun mechanism) looks very low and thick, question is is it completely unammed or as it like the rumors I have heard, unmanned but has space inside for people to operate in case of emergency.
Not sure how I feel about those secondary guns, wait and see what the final config is I guess.
That is one beautiful killing machine. I cannot wait to see the production model.
Supposedly a "storming tank", not MBT.
120mm rifled gun? Is this like Vena on an armata chassis?
I see this as a BMPT replacement, one that is rather closely unified to Armata MBT.
The tablet in front of it says "Combat Artillery Platform on the Armata Chassis".
Almost looks like the gun itself has armor around it.
Can't wait till next year when the metal rolls out!
Alexey Khlopotov thinks our mystery auxiliary weapon is a remote controlled 6 barreled machine gun. Looks like it is in the higher res photos.
A tank sized vehicle would be part of the Armata family... but this could be the Fire support vehicle that could be used in situations where a tank is not suitable, like convoy protection or tank protection in urban areas.
there are at least 2 crewmembers sitting in the hull. The third member may be also in the hull or under the turret or in the turret.
The Turret will contain ammo and will not have any crew in it.
Likely the three crew are seated beneath the turret overhang to protect them from top attack weapons.
There is no point in putting crew in the turret. I would expect the flat area behind the turret contains the autoloading mechanism and space for a few rounds of different types ready to be loaded rapidly into the gun. The majority of rounds will be stored inside the turret below the turret ring safe from direct fire threats.
I would also expect space below the turret ring will contain 30mm cannon shells and 40mm grenades for the 30mm gatling and long barrel 40mm grenade launcher.
I would think a twin barrel 30mm cannon would have been more use than a 6 barrel gatling.
APS will not involve the guns. It will likely consist of munitions that can be launched based on signals from the TI/Radar and other sensors.
Technically armata is a program name for a family of vehicles. This could be the armata BMPT, or it could be from a rival company to UVZ and is a tank armata vehicle.
This could be a break through... the 100mm gun of the BMP-3 is a rifled weapon with a small charge and a large payload but its max range is 7km.
The 120mm mortar/gun of the Vena has a max range of something like 13km and can fire both shells and mortar bombs and use bagged propellent charges so for close targets it can use one propellent bag so it doesn't go high up into the air and remain in the air for a long time before coming down on target... much like a mortar or howitzer. This makes the weapon much more effective and much more accurate and versatile.
Developing a new 120mm rifled gun/mortar would be ideal for a BMPT like vehicle as the high elevation and raw HE power means even tough hillside bunkers can be taken out with cheap ammo.
It would be able to use 120mm mortar shells and 120mm shells from NONA etc, and also 120mm laser guided missiles and it will probably have its own standard HE round for general targets that will be much more compact than high velocity rounds of smaller calibre.
It does, but I hope they see sense and change it for a GSh-30K as fitted to the Hind. A shorter barrel model is fitted to the Su-25. The GSh-30K has longer barrels for a higher muzzle velocity and it has a muzzle brake, and also fires at a slightly lower rate than the GSh-30 fitted to the Su-25.
The extra length and weight of the GSh-30K is not a problem on a ground vehicle, and it is much lighter. than the 6 barrel GSh-6-30.
Of course it could be a GSh-23-6.
The GSh-30 fires at 3,000 rpm and the gun weighs 105kgs. It is not a gatling so there is no wind up period to get to full rate of fire and is apparently very accurate. It has a muzzle velocity with standard ammo of 870m/s. It is used by the Su-25 and uses standard 30 x 165mm ammo.
The GSh-30K is used on the Mi-24P in a fixed position on the side of the helo and has longer barrels and a muzzle flash hider. It weighs 126kgs and is not a gatling so there is no wind up period to get to full rate of fire and is also apparently pretty accurate. The GSh-30K can fire at two rates, 2,000-2,600rpm in high rate, and 300-400rpm in low rate... the latter allowing single shots or short bursts. The muzzle velocity is 940m/s using standard 30 x 165mm ammo.
As you can see the GSh-30K is the heaviest, but the choice of rate of fire means it will be useful against both ground and air targets.
As a comparison the GSh-6-30 fires at 6,000rpm, and is a gas powered gatling so there is no electric motor and it winds up very rapidly. It would take a dozen or more dud rounds in a row to effect performance and single dud would be cycled by momentum even if they don't fire (such reliability is important in remote weapons as in aircraft or in armata as a crewman wont be able to reach back and recock and continue firing). The Russians do have a set of pyrotechnic charges that burns through the side of a 30mm shell case to ignite the powder charge directly to fire rounds with dud primers.
At 149kgs it is the heaviest gun option and the enormous rate of fire would be wasted on most ground targets... having said that a single gun would put out shells faster than Shilka or Tunguska and would be devastating.
The GSh-6-30 was carried by the Mig-27 and the Su-24.
The other option could be the GSh-6-23M, which fires at up to 10,000 rpm with a muzzle velocity of 715m/s with a 23 x 114mm cartridge... the weapon weighs an amazing 73kgs and would be devastating, though the rate of fire would be high the compact ammo could be carried in larger volumes than the much larger and heavier 30mm rounds.
The middle one (I marked it with the green arrow) is for the driver sitting in the center.
The sets of three (I circled them with red and yellow ovals) are for the gunner and commander.
The gunner and commander need a more peripheric vision. A forward only sight is sufficient for the driver.
With that configuartion, the 3 crewmembers are sitting almost right underneath the front part of the turret which is the most heavily armoured part.
Exit from the vehicle is done through the two hatches forward of the sights (not very visible on this enlarged photo, but quite visible on the regular size photo).
But the new design from Omsk which is a BMPT class will have similar unmanned turret.

Robots as a Service solutions bring instant payback.
Logistics companies of every size can enjoy the benefits of state-of-the-art autonomous mobile robot-based parcel sorting technology thanks to LiBiao's 'Robots as a Service' finance scheme, says Xia Huiling, LiBiao's founder and CEO.
'Pay-as-you-go' Robots as a Service (RaaS) finance solutions are increasingly seen as a highly cost-efficient means of introducing state-of-the-art robotic automation to parcel handling, e-commerce and traditional third party logistics operations.
RaaS allows companies to lease – rather than purchase – robotic automation to support key operational tasks. In many ways it is a similar concept to the established Software as a Service (SaaS) model that has proved so popular with companies operating in the logistics and supply chain space as a way of rolling out such essential IT tools as transport and warehouse management systems.
The RaaS approach is proving so attractive that, according to New York-based technology analysts, ABI Research, there will be 1.3 million RaaS installations across all industry sectors worldwide by 2026. Even markets that have been slow to embrace robotics are now accessing the benefits of the technology thanks to RaaS.
Because with RaaS schemes users lease their robotic devices, the implementation of robotics becomes an operational expense rather than a capital investment: upfront costs are minimised and maintenance charges can be incorporated in to the agreed fee – so users do not get a 'nasty surprise' in the from of an unexpected invoice if, for example, a service engineer has to be called out.
With LiBiao's 'Robots As A Service' finance scheme, our clients' monthly payment charges are calculated based on the number of parcels processed by our autonomous mobile robot (AMR) sortation systems.
And, because LiBiao's RaaS costs are related to levels of usage, users have the flexibility to scale up or down according to the demands of the economic climate. For example, during a downturn a parcel handling company may initially only require 100 LiBiao autonomous mobile sortation robots but faced with a spike in throughput, they may need an extra 50 units. RaaS allows the additional AMRs to be brought in as required with the minimum fuss at a pre-agreed rate.
This approach has allowed some of the biggest retailers and postal companies in the world – including Walmart in the USA and China Post in China – to realise almost instant payback when installing LiBiao technology.
The combination of reduced capital investment and greater agility makes RaaS the ideal way for third party logistics companies who, as we all know, compete in a sector where contracts are won, lost, extended or reduced on a regular basis, to access the most advanced technology and enjoy the benefits robotics with flexibility and minimal CapEx exposure.
More than 10,000 LiBiao autonomous mobile robots are in operation worldwide and it is estimated that some two billion parcels a year are processed using LiBiao AMRs and LiBiao Robot technology is now available in Europe.

Q: C swapping strings in 2d array (without pointers) I wrote a function that sorts an array of strings by their length
void lenSort(char sen[][NAME_LENGTH], int len)
{
    int i = 0, j = 0, k = 0;
    char tmp[NAME_LENGTH] = {0};
    for(i = 0; i < len - 1; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < len - i - 1; j++)
        {
            if(strlen(sen[j]) > strlen(sen[j+1]))
            {
                strncpy(tmp, sen[j], strlen(sen[j]));
                for(k = 0; k < strlen(sen[j]); k++)
                {
                    sen[j][k] = 0;
                }
                strncpy(sen[j], sen[j+1], strlen(sen[j+1]));
                strncpy(sen[j+1], tmp, strlen(tmp));
            }
        }
    }
}

The array I pass is: {"12345", "123", "123456", "12", "1234", "1234", "1234567", "123", "1", "12345"}
For some reason when I copy sen[j+1] into sen[j] I get excess characters, I thought that that's becuase sen[j] is longer, but I reset it before copying and it still happens and I don't have any clue why..

A: If you want to sort strings based on their length only then inner below for loop is not required though it may serving some other purpose
for(k = 0; k < strlen(sen[j]); k++)
                {
                    sen[j][k] = 0;
                }

here is the my solution. use strcpy() instead of strncpy() because strings copied using strncpy() are not null terminated. from the man page of strncpy
Warning: If there is no null byte among the first n  bytes
       of src, the string placed in dest will not be null-terminated.
void lenSort(char sen[][NAME_LENGTH], int len)
{
    int i = 0, j = 0, k = 0;
    char tmp[NAME_LENGTH] = {0};
    for(i = 0; i < len - 1; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < len - i - 1; j++)
        {
            if(strlen(sen[j]) > strlen(sen[j+1]))
            {
                strcpy(tmp, sen[j]);
                strcpy(sen[j], sen[j+1]);
                strcpy(sen[j+1], tmp);
            }
        }
    }
}

Once you have these dates saved, you will need to "Add holidays" and professional activity days (no-student days) that occur during the year. This will allow the app to skip these days on your schedule to keep your cycle on track!
If you add a day by accident, simply swipe it to the left to delete.
Once you have all your special days entered, you're ready to set up your day cycle, coming up next in this series! Look for the Bloglovin button or email subscription under the "Stay In Touch" header near the top of my page to follow my blog and be sure to receive the next posts in this series!
