Due to the sensitive information the staff interacts with, there needed to be multiple levels of privacy in the workstations. Our solution provided them with multiple hot desking spaces on the showroom floor, enclosed shared offices for their administrative staff, and private offices. By transitioning to a workstation with a smaller footprint and moving away from designated desks, the King team was able to expand the showroom area!


We still believe that is the case.
In the days following the referendum many voluntary and community organisations voiced their genuine concerns about what lies ahead. We knew that leaving the European Union would be a leap into the unknown but the fact that people who promoted the Leave campaigning appear to have no plans for what happens next is far from reassuring.
As a sector we must turn our attention to dealing with the reality of the decision to Leave.
As the UK begins to develop its negotiating position the Northern Ireland Executive has to make its voice heard in that process. The Executive also has to negotiate with the Treasury on the financial losses of EU Structural Funds and the promises on public expenditure made by the Leave campaign.
In NICVA we have begun formulating our sector's contribution to that plan. We have complied a list of the main issues we need to ensure are on the agenda in any upcoming negotiations and will be prioritising current EU funding streams – ESF, PEACE IV, ERDF and the Rural Development Programme. You can read a statement from SEPUB about their funding here. We have begun to explore how EU guidance on procurement and social clauses will be effected. Important EU directives on sustainability and environmental protection will also need attention as will programmes associated with the free movement of people like ERASMUS. Many of you will be members of pan-European networks and concerned about your future participation. We know this is just the tip of the iceberg and would welcome hearing directly from any NICVA member about your own concerns.
We must also work hard together to eliminate any idea that the referendum results empower or justify racism and hate crimes. As organisations and as people who work and volunteer in our sector we must hold ourselves to the very highest levels of accountability on this issue. It is incumbent on us to challenge hate and promote the positive contribution of people who have chosen to make a home for themselves and their families in Northern Ireland.
Our commitment to ensuring our sector's concerns are heard is already underway. This morning (Friday, 1 July 2016) NICVA, Business organisations and Trade Unions met with the Finance Minister. We stressed the need for engagement with civic society in any upcoming negotiations and received his assurances that VCSE sector will be included. It is planned that this group will meet monthly with the Minister. NICVA is meeting with other key Executive Ministers in the coming days including the Minister for Communities and we have requested a meeting with the First and deputy First Ministers.
Negotiating the best possible deal for NI will be a huge test for our new Executive.
As a sector we will not be found wanting when it comes to playing our part.

Malta ha participat en el Festival de la Cançó d'Eurovisió des de 1971. En els primers anys, el país no va obtenir bons resultats i es va retirar després de l'edició de 1975. No obstant això, des que hi van tornar en 1991 han obtingut millors resultats. Malgrat no haver guanyat, Malta ha estat prop de fer-ho en diverses ocasions. Juntament amb Regne Unit, Espanya, França i Suècia, Malta és un dels pocs països que no ha faltat a cap edició des de 1993, quan els països amb les puntuacions més baixes no podien participar en la següent edició.

Generalment, Malta usa l'anglès per interpretar les seves cançons. Només les dues primeres, en 1971 i 1972, van ser presentades en maltès. Ambdues cançons van quedar en últim lloc, en part atribuït a la barrera del llenguatge. Després d'un millor resultat en 1975, Malta s'hi va retirar. Durant la dècada dels vuitanta, Malta va tornar a mostrar interès a reintegrar-s'hi, però no ho va poder fer a causa que hi havia un nombre màxim de 22 participants cada any que li impedia fer-ho. Quan els Països Baixos es van retirar en 1991, Malta va entrar en el seu lloc. A l'any següent, el límit de participants va ser eliminat, fet que li va permetre participar cada any. Malgrat els seus bons resultats, Malta ha vist canviar la seva sort: en 2006 va quedar en últim lloc en la final i en 2007 no va passar de la semifinal.

A pesar de ser una illa de la Mediterrània, Malta s'ha vist beneficiat pel vot regional, ja que ha obtingut altes puntuacions per part de Turquia, Itàlia i dels altres dos països angloparlants: Irlanda i el Regne Unit; encara que, sorprenentment, també de Romania, Rússia, Ucraïna, Azerbaidjan i Croàcia. La persona que més vegades ha participat en el festival com a representant del país ha estat Chiara, en tres ocasions: 1998, 2005 i 2009. A més, ha estat una de les persones que millors resultats els ha donat (3a en 1998 i 2a en 2005), si bé en la seva tercera participació, en 2009, va quedar en 22a posició en la final amb la cançó "What if we".

Tampoc van classificar-se en 2010 amb Thea Garrett ni en 2011 amb Glen Vella, encara que van acabar molt a prop en els llocs 12è i 11è, respectivament.

Així i tot, sí que es van classificar en 2012 amb la 7a posició en la semifinal i 21a en la final amb 41 punts. En 2013, va quedar quarta en la semifinal i 8a en la final amb Gianluca.

En 2014, va quedar 9a en la semifinal i 23a en la gran final de Copenhaguen amb "Firelight". En 2015, Amber acabaria 11a en la semifinal amb 43 punts, per darrere d'Azerbaidjan, de manera que no aconseguí la classificació amb "Warrior".

Per a 2016, sortiria seleccionada l'experimentada Ira Losco, que hi tornava després del segon lloc obtingut en 2002. Després de guanyar la final nacional amb «Chameleon», un tema que va generar controvèrsia sobre el seu potencial competitiu en un festival com Eurovisió, aquest va ser finalment canviat per «Walk On Water», que va fer pujar Malta en les apostes ràpidament. Com a resultat, Malta aconseguiria entrar a la final, on quedaria en un bon 12è lloc amb un increïble suport del jurat que la va situar quarta, mentre que el televot la va deixar en la vint-i-unena posició.

Per a 2017, la cantant seleccionada seria Claudia Faniello, qui després de participar 10 vegades en la preselecció nacional Maltesa, aniria a Kíev amb el tema «Breathlessly» que finalment no aconseguiria passar a la final en acabar en el lloc 16è en la segona semifinal amb 55 punts, ja que va tenir bon suport del jurat però el televot la situà última.

En 2018, Christabelle Borg seria seleccionada per representar a Malta després de guanyar el MESC amb «Taboo», després d'intentar-ho 3 vegades prèviament. Al festival, la cantant no passaria a la final després d'acabar al 13è lloc en la segona semifinal amb 101 punts, ja que va ser última en el televot, però 5a per al jurat.

En 2019, Michela Pace va guanyar The X Factor. Això li va donar el dret de representar el seu país al festival, cosa que va fer amb la cançó «Chamaleon» (no té res a veure amb el tema que va interpretar Ira Losco a la preselecció de 2016). Aquesta va acabar 14a amb 107 punts en la final.

En un total de 13 vegades, Malta ha quedat dins del TOP-10 en una gran final.

Stable release
5.1 / December 8, 1995; 24 years ago (1995-12-08)[1]
MoOLIT (Motif OPEN LOOK Intrinsics Toolkit) is a graphical user interface library and application programming interface (API) created by Unix System Laboratories in an attempt to create a bridge between the two competing look-and-feels for Unix workstations at the time: OPEN LOOK and OSF Motif.[2]
The library provided common GUI features such as boxes, menus, lists, and buttons, but allowed users to choose which look and feel they wanted at runtime. It was a short-lived project, as the industry was moving towards Motif as the de facto GUI standard, a trend culminating in the COSE initiative in 1993.
MJM Software (a subsidiary of Melillo Consulting, Inc.) licensed the MoOLIT source in 1992 and ported it to Sun, HP, IBM, and DEC platforms.[3][4] Their MoOLIT 5.1 product included full Motif support for the traditional OLIT widgets not implemented in the USL version. This version of MoOLIT was used to add the Motif look and feel to legacy OPEN LOOK applications.

Q: How do I get the value of 0b011 from the primary oscillator with PLL in a DSPIC33FJ128GP710A http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/70593d.pdf, here is the link for the data sheet it explains in section 9 as to configure COSC<2:0> of OSCCON register to one of the following. I am using primary oscillator with PLL it is represented as 011 as shown below. But when in code it is written as OSCCONbits.COSC!=0b011. I want know in value 0b011, I think that 011 represents the primary oscillator with PLL, but what is 0b which is attached as prefix to the value.
bit 14-12 COSC<2:0>: Current Oscillator Selection bits (read-only)
                111 = Fast RC oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-N
                110 = Fast RC oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-16
                101 = Low-Power RC oscillator (LPRC)
                100 = Secondary oscillator (Sosc)
                011 = Primary oscillator (XT, HS, EC) with PLL
                010 = Primary oscillator (XT, HS, EC)
               001 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-N and PLL (FRCDIVN +PLL)
                000 = Fast RC oscillator (FRC)

A: The value 0b011 represents the binary value 011, which equates to decimal 3.
The 0b signifies that the following digits are in base 2, or binary.
This notation was popular in a number of compilers, like GCC, and has since been adopted as part of the new C++14 standard.
It follows the same kind of syntax as using 0x... for hexadecimal.

What Are the Benefits of Owning a Slingshot?
A slingshot is not just a toy; it is a completely effective hand-powered projectile weapon used by humans for centuries for self-defense and hunting. This Y-shaped weapon should be held in the non-dominant hand, and the rubber stripes are stretched and shot by the dominant hand.
Some other names that are commonly used for a slingshot are, Catapult, Kettie, Gulel, Ging, Pachoonga, and Shanghai
A Brief History of Slingshot
Earlier, slingshots were usually made of forked branches, and rubber stripes took out of other things such as inner tubes. The early slingshots were usually used as a hunting arm, and people would especially learn to use these slingshots. Hunters used buckshot, lead musket balls, air gun pellets, steel ball bearings, or nails for hunting down squirrels, rabbits, doves, quails, and pheasants.
Slingshots have been around way before they were manufactured commercially in 1918. The first model was named Zip-Zip, which was made out of cast iron. During World War 2, slingshots became quite popular; however, they were still a do-it-yourself thing.
During the 1940s, the company named Wham-O named their first product as Wham-O Slingshot, which was made out of ash wood and flat rubber bands. It was in the 40s when the National Slingshot Association was created.
Slingshots other than being a weapon are also sometimes used for angling, i.e., to disperse bait in water in a wide range. This way, more fishes are attracted toward the fishing rod.
Why Should You Own a Slingshot?
Slingshots are a great deal when it comes to survival, self-defense, and home security. Today several companies are manufacturing different types of slingshots, some with wrist braces, while others without it. In short, there is a wide range to choose from.
Benefits of Using a Slingshot
Some people often ask, why would someone use a slingshot when guns and other self-defense weapons are easily accessible? Well, there are several benefits that come along with a slingshot, such as:
1. Slingshots are Lightweight
Firstly, slingshots do not weigh much and are portable in nature. Having a slingshot in your backpack, pocket, or purse wouldn't make you feel like you are carrying a load of weight. The lightweight and compact design of a slingshot make it easier for anyone to keep it with them at all times. Moreover, the ammunition of slingshots is all based on kinetic energy, making it really inexpensive.
2. Slingshots are Affordable
Slingshots are quite affordable compared to other weapons like guns and rifles. If you want to stay safe but don't want to spend too much money, slingshots will definitely work for you.
3. Slingshots are Silent Weapons
Have you ever heard a gunshot? It's loud, and it can scare people within a large distance. Either you are using a slingshot for hunting or for self-defense, you wouldn't have to worry about the noise coming out of it when you shoot it.
4. Instant Availability to Shoot
Slingshots do not need a bullet refill; you can simply put a right-sized stone, steel ball-bearing, or even glass marbles to shoot your target. Not having to refill and load a slingshot saves you a lot of time.
5. A Wide Range to Choose From
There are various types of slingshots available on the market today, which gives you the freedom to get the one that suits your needs best. Either it is a wrist rocket, slingshot bow, or pocket slingshot, you can choose whatever seems best to you. Moreover, it also allows you to choose from different types of ammunition as well.
6. Easy to Use
A slingshot is one of those weapons that can be used even if someone doesn't have proper practice. So if you have a slingshot, you will probably be able to use it perfectly after shooting a few times.
Can You Save Your House with the Help of a Slingshot?
There are two main types of slingshots; the first is the simple one consisting of a Y-shaped handle and a rubber suspended with its ends. This first kind of slingshot is terrible to be used in survival situations. However, the second type is the modern version of the slingshot, which consists of wrist support. These slingshots with wrist support can produce sufficient velocity that can easily kill small animals and cause serious injuries to humans.
Moreover, the projectiles available today hit harder than a stone. Among all the different projectiles available, the steel ball bearings are the best for self-defense and hunting.
A little practice can make you save your house from intruders or small animals at any time. Spend some hours on practice, aim for things and see how much do you improve. If your aiming game is perfect, you are good to use a slingshot to save your house.
Some might think that a gun or any other firearms could also be used to keep your house safe; however, a slingshot is actually a better option in several situations.
Firearms may be great for hunting, but you might not have access to them all the time. Moreover, not everyone can use firearms properly; for example, a kid or someone who has never used a firearm before will only find himself in trouble when there is no other weapon to save his/herself. Slingshots are considered better for home safety as using them wouldn't lead you into a big issue, like illegal shooting. Imagine an intruder with a knife in his hand ambushed by a group of people with slingshots aimed towards him? Sounds fun, right?
If you are living off the grid, you might also be aware of the dangers that do not come from street thugs but from the woods, i.e., a pack of dogs. A person who doesn't have a slingshot on him is most likely to be attacked by such animals; however, you can fight for your safety if you have a slingshot and some projectiles with you.
You may remember slingshots as a toy, but the actual professional level slingshots are no toy. As we mentioned earlier, a good shot with a slingshot can actually cause a serious injury to a human, which is why it is a great thing to have at your house for safety purposes. Slingshots may not be as dangerous as firearms, but you still need to be careful about who has access to them. Ensure that kids cannot easily access slingshots, as they can injure each other while playing with them.

Broncos smother Titans in shutout win
Field Level Media | Posted: Oct. 13, 2019, 11:39 a.m. | Updated: Oct. 13, 2019, 10:51 p.m. | 2 Min Read
EditorsNote: Small changes in 8th, 9th and 11th grafs
Phillip Lindsay rushed for 70 yards and a score, the Denver defense had seven sacks and three interceptions, and the Broncos beat the visiting Tennessee Titans 16-0 on Sunday.
Joe Flacco was 18 of 28 for 177 yards and an interception, and Courtland Sutton had four catches for 76 yards for Denver, which has won two in a row.
The Broncos (2-4) lost second-leading receiver Emmanuel Sanders to a knee injury in the first half.
Denver held Titans running back Derrick Henry to 28 yards and intercepted Marcus Mariota twice before he was pulled from the game after going just 7 of 18 for 63 yards. Ryan Tannehill took over with 4:56 left in the third quarter and completed 13 of 16 passes for 144 yards and an interception.
Neither team could generate much offense in the first half, combining for 219 yards and just 10 first downs, but Denver did enough to take a 6-0 lead into the locker room.
Tennessee (2-4) went three-and-out on its first two possessions and didn't cross into Denver territory until late in the first quarter, managing to reach the Broncos 49.
Denver had more success moving the ball, getting to the Titans 13 on its first possession before settling for a 31-yard field goal from Brandon McManus.
It stayed 3-0 until late in the second quarter. Flacco opened the drive with a 41-yard pass to Sutton to the Tennessee 44. The drive stalled at the 35 before McManus hit a 53-yard field goal with 4:40 left in the half.
Denver increased the lead to 13-0 late in the third quarter on Lindsay's 2-yard touchdown run, which was set up by Mariota's second pick.
Tannehill drove the Titans to the Denver 11 early in the fourth quarter, but the Broncos took over after a sack on fourth-and-4 from the 13.
Denver moved to the Tennessee 20 but had to settle for a McManus 48-yard field goal with 4:56 left.
Tennessee then drove to the Broncos' 5, but two penalties and another sack pushed the Titans back to the 30. Kareem Jackson's interception at the goal line sealed it.

Lucky 8 started raving in Seattle during the boom of electronic music in 1999. When paper flyers were your only source for direction, vinyl was "the only way" to deejay and 6am was still legal. In 2002 she moved to Los Angeles and was given belt driven turntables for her birthday by her best friend whom knew she was fascinated, by the thought, of making people dance. By 2005 she was put on stages by Fusion Brothers and quickly became known in the Los Angeles underground scene. In 2008 she made the switch from vinyl to digital and was able to start editing all the music she would find to make them more her style, create mash ups and loops when necessary. She is a very technical deejay in her timing and can drop tracks in a blink of an eye. She likes to think of herself as the destroyer.

2 Veteran DJ's of Psy Trance and the SF Rave Scene, Sausee & Michael Liu had their first tag set together in Dec 2008. Even though they only met that year, the dynamic duo clicked right away. With the same person inspiring them early on as DJ's, their styles were very similar. Making it easy to feel where the other is taking the journey. Each set is freestyled and switched one and one, to keep the vibe and flow fresh. Heavy pounding bass, melodies and techno rhythms are mixed in long layers to keep the dancers energized as they trip the light fantastic.

INSOMNIAC - STAND
www.facebook.com/fester.flores.9
Fester started getting into the DJ culture in the early 80's. Not having enough money to buy turntables and a mixer, he improvised by using a boombox instead (ask any OG DJ from back in the day as to how this worked). From there, he fell in love with the BBOY culture (breakbeats, graffiti, battling, turntablists) and began to follow all things BBOY. He was still turntable-less, but, at the same time, was gaining knowledge by watching his neighborhood DJ crew do their thing. Soon after that, he progressed into a variety of music genres ( new wave, disco, funk) basically anything that sounded good. He paid his dues by working as a mobile DJ (weddings, house parties, etc.). Fast forward to the early 90's, Fester found the techno sound and underground culture thanks to Eric Davenport (aka E Zone). And so began the incredible musical journey filled with massive crowds, traveling to out-of-town gigs, live PA's (Axis Worklabs), and a short stint with an independent record label (Turnstyle Records). Fester is proud and humbled to be a part of the Insomniac movement that has grown from hundreds of people to millions all over the world."

While a lot of teaching positions are filled locally through face-to-face interviews, there are many countries that prefer to recruit new teachers in advance before they leave home. The application process usually takes place online via email and interviews are held via phone or Skype. A lot of teachers prefer this method as it offers a bit more security than simply heading abroad to find a job.
When getting hired for teaching English abroad in advance, you typically receive assistance with the necessary documents and visa from your employer. Many employers also provide free airfare, health insurance and accommodation that is move-in-ready when you arrive. These benefits are especially helpful for new teachers and those without experience of living or traveling abroad. However, the time needed for the recruitment process is often longer, especially the visa process, so be sure to start your TEFL adventure as early as possible.
Asia is the largest market for teaching English as a foreign language and many countries in the region hire teachers from within their home countries. China currently offers the most opportunities for teachers and recruitment often takes place in advance. Employers in China usually pay for airfares and provide housing for the length of your contract. South Korea, another popular teaching destination in Asia, offers similar benefits and also recruits teachers in advance. Japan and Taiwan are also very popular locations with a healthy job market for teachers. Both countries hire in advance but benefits might not be as attractive as in China and South Korea. Other countries including Indonesia, Malaysia and Hong Kong are always looking for qualified teachers and like to hire through online interviews. While Thailand and Vietnam usually hire through face-to-face interviews, you can still find some schools that hire teachers in advance via Skype or phone.
The Middle East is known to offer some of the best salaries and extra benefits to teachers and most positions are arranged in advance. However, competition in this region is very high and only teachers with advanced qualifications and experience tend to get hired. Saudi Arabia is one of the largest markets and it offers tax-free salaries, paid airfare, health insurance and free housing. Another popular country in the region is the United Arab Emirates which offers similar pay and benefits to Saudi Arabia. If you are looking for something a bit different, try Oman, Kuwait, Qatar or Bahrain. Here, teachers are usually hired in advance but positions aren't as plentiful as in the big two.
Most countries in Europe hire teachers locally via face-to-face interviews, so being ready for interviews with your TEFL certificate and resume in hand is usually the best approach. However, Russia and Turkey are the main exceptions to this as many employers in both countries hire teachers in advance. On top of that, applications for government-run programs in France (TAPIF Program) and Spain (Cultural Ambassadors Program) are filled out online in March for start dates in September. The Czech Republic is among the hottest destinations for teachers in Europe and some schools in the country also hire teachers while still in their home country.
Latin America is among the toughest regions to get hired in advance as local culture almost exclusively results in teachers getting hired locally. However, Chile, for example, has a lot of employers looking for teachers from outside the country. This is especially true for the government-run scheme (English Opens Doors Program) that places teachers into public schools on a volunteer basis. Brazil is another country worth checking out due to its rapid economic growth.
Are you ready to live and teach English abroad?
Without a doubt, there are plenty of options when it comes to finding a job teaching English abroad. Whether you would prefer to head overseas and find a job locally, or secure a position before leaving home, you are sure to have the time of your life teaching English abroad.


I'm sure I'm not the only pipe smoker to take a few leftovers of tobacco and combine them into a mixture and then proceed to finish off the blends. It's not unusual for me to have 10-12 tins and jars opened at the same time and often I'll have a couple containers with a pinch or two of tobacco remaining. Sometimes I'll combine the two and smoke the results. Sometimes this wasn't the best idea but I have been pleasantly surprised by some of the results. It has happened that during this past week I had a number of different blends in containers that only had maybe a couple of pinches or maybe a bowlful or two left. Not knowing how it would turn out I decided to combine then all. I can't give the exact proportion but I'd say the average would be maybe a fairly good size billiard bowl plus a pinch or two of each blend would be in the ballpark. The blends used are, Half and Half, Sir Walter Raleigh, Heine's Mixture, Hal O' The Wind, McC 5100, Three Friars, Temple Bar, and Ozark Wizard's Pebble Castle. All of these blends went into a ten ounce jar and to the chagrin of James Bone not only was the mixtures stirred but it was also shaken. I allowed the jar to remain tightly closed for three days and then opened it and gave it a whiff. Wow! This smells really good. So I grabbed my Design Berlin Junior Billiard and filled the bowl. I packed the blend as I would any ribbon cut tobacco and gave it a light. Again I was surprised. There was a full tobacco taste that was rich, with a bit of stewed fruit sweetness, some spice, tanginess, and a fair amount of nicotine. I could definitely taste the Burley's as their nutty goodness was a major player. I tried to make it bite by pushing it until the bowl began to get hot. Not even a hint of tongue bite came through. I set the pipe aside and let it go out so the pipe could cool down. After about an hour I relight the pipe and the DGT was as good as any I've ever smoked. The last half of the bowl was a pleasant smoke that had a richness not usually found in each of the blends when smoked by themselves. I tried to identify each blend but my unsophisticated taste is not up to the task. However every so often it seemed like I could taste the sweetness of the Pebble Castle. It might have just been my imagination but something sweet would shine through making me wish this mixture had more of that component. It burned at a normal rate and never went out requiring any relights. When I reached the bottom of the bowl there was nothing but gray ash. No moisture and no dottle was left behind. Since the first bowl I've smoked probably 5-6 bowls and each one is like the first. I wish I had been more careful when mixing by recording the exact weight of each blend used so I could recreate this mixture and keep some on hand. Finding blends that have a natural sweetness with sufficient strength and without any harshness can be a difficult and expensive task. I made one out of scrap tobacco that scratched about every itch I have. This mixture is a Frankenstein because it was created from leftover parts (tobacco) and it's monstrously good but its also well behaved. Maybe Frankenstein is a misnomer here. Probably not much chance of me repeating this creation again but I suspect I'll give it a try. BTW I'd love hear about your creations and the results using this method good or bad.
A cornucopia of delights it sounds like!
AJ, that's a very comprehensive review if I ever saw one. You clearly have it well in hand. Thanks for the intel!
Enjoy your creation. The fact that it can't be reproduced is not what's important. What matters is you have more bowls to look forward to so simply enjoy 'til it's gone. Remember there is no Holy Grail or desert island blend because the tastiest smoke is the one you are enjoying at the moment.
Big congrats for your successful creation!
Right on the money, right there!
Maybe it's more like a multitude of minor miracles. Sometimes it's truly amazing how well these mixtures turn out.
Very well stated. It's always a treat to see wisdom written so everyone may benefit.
I've never really considered doing this AJ but after reading your post in off to find a spare kilner jar. I just hope I get the same results as you.

Northrop Grumman Invents a Laser Tank
By Rich Smith – Dec 5, 2015 at 12:13PM
NYSE: NOC
(-4.28%) -$19.82
Theoretically, and eventually -- but the capability is there.
Look out, Boeing (BA 0.02%). There's a new laser tank in town.
Northrop's new Hellhound LRV packs a 30 mm cannon today -- and maybe a 30 kW laser cannon tomorrow. Image source: Northrop Grumman YouTube still.
For more than six years now -- some might argue for more than a decade -- U.S. defense contractors including Boeing and Raytheon (RTN), Lockheed Martin (LMT 1.24%), and Kratos Defense (KTOS 0.92%) have been hard at work designing working laser weapons for the U.S. military.
In 2009, Boeing announced its entry into the competition, a "Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck" capable of mounting a 10-kilowatt laser.
Raytheon has an even more powerful laser, the 25-kilowatt Ground Based Air Defense Directed Energy On-the-Move Future Naval Capabilities, which it totes around in the back of a Humvee.
Kratos built a 33-kilowatt Laser Weapon System for the Navy -- but it's so big it requires a warship to carry it.
And Lockheed Martin is working on a 60-kilowatt High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator for the Army. While not all the way up to 60 yet, it can already push out 30 kW... and to devastating effect:
LOCKHEED'S LASER GUN: 1; TRUCK: 0. IMAGE SOURCE: LOCKHEED MARTIN.
*Batteries not included
And yet, there's one tiny detail that may get in the way of any of these laser weapons performing as promised: They all need a lot of power to operate.
As website BreakingDefense explains, translating electric output into laser output is not a very efficient process. It takes about three units of power generated to produce each incremental kilowatt of laser emitted. As a result, the 10 kilowatts of "exportable" electricity generated by an Oshkosh JLTV probably won't be enough to power an effective laser weapon system on its own. For that matter, a 30-ton Bradley APC only puts out 20 kilowatts of exportable electric power -- which, again, isn't enough to power the kinds of laser weapons the military wants.
Fact is, you need about 90 kW of electric generation to power even a 30-kilowatt laser -- and that's if the vehicle is sitting still. Run the A/C or leave the radio on (or maneuver your vehicle in the middle of a firefight), and you need a whole lot more juice to power your laser.
This is where Northrop Grumman (NOC -4.28%) comes in.
Last month, Northrop introduced a new prototype light reconnaissance vehicle that it calls the Hellhound. Small enough to fit in the cargo hold of a CH-47 Chinook, Hellhound nonetheless packs a powerful 120 kW Jenoptik integrated starter generator, capable of "exporting" 100 kilowatts of electricity over and above what's needed to power the vehicle itself. That's enough juice to power a small field hospital or a military command center -- or, should one be so inclined, a 30-kilowatt laser cannon.
What it means to investors
Although Northrop Grumman has a pretty wide-ranging laser research and development department of its own, to date the company has played primarily a supporting role in developing other companies' marquee laser weapons projects. Northrop's development of the Hellhound promises to continue that trend.
By offering a vehicle capable of mounting other companies' various laser weapons and -- crucially -- generating the power those weapons will need to operate, Northrop appears to be positioning itself to partner with any number of its defense contracting "rivals" as they win contracts to produce actual laser weapons. Granted, it's not as "sexy" a business as building actual laser cannons -- but it may be a smart business strategy nonetheless.

The expansion of Qatar's LNG facilities is the world's largest and one of the energy sector's most lucrative projects.
Qatar plans to boost LNG production to 126 mln T by 2027
2 min read . Updated: 25 Nov 2019, 06:48 PM IST Dahlia Nehme , Reuters
New expansion plans come after drilling, appraisal work
Qatar's LNG production now is 77 million tons per year
DOHA : Qatar said on Monday it aimed to lift production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by 64% to 126 million tonnes per year by 2027, putting oil majors racing to secure a stake in the Gulf country's expansion plans under pressure to make the best offer.
The world's top oil and gas majors have showered state energy giant Qatar Petroleum with some of their most prized ventures for a role in QP's new LNG project.
The estimated increase in Qatar's LNG production comes after new drilling and appraisal work in the expanded North Field mega project showed that confirmed gas reserves of the field exceeded 1,760 trillion cubic feet, chief executive of Qatar Petroleum Saad al-Kaabi told reporters in Doha.
"I am pleased to announce that our appraisal efforts have borne fruit, and that we have confirmation that the productive layers of the North Field extend well into Qatari land in Ras Laffan," Kaabi told a news conference.
"Studies and well tests have also confirmed the ability to produce large quantities of gas from this new sector of the North Field."
Kaabi said the latest appraisal well, NF-12, was drilled onshore in the Ras Laffan Industrial City about 12 km from the shore.
"These results will ... enable us to immediately commence the necessary engineering work for two additional LNG mega trains with a combined annual capacity of 16 million tons per annum (mtpa)," Kaabi said.
"This will raise Qatar's LNG production from currently 77 million tons to 126 million tons per annum by 2027, representing an increase of about 64%."
That would also boost Qatar's total output to 6.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) from around 4.8 million boed in the next eight years, Kaabi said.
RIVALS CLOSE BEHIND
Qatar's plans come as LNG prices languish at multi-year lows due a surge in production of the super-chilled gas in the United States, Russia and Australia. Australia may oust Qatar from its long-held position of the world's top LNG producer this year.
"If you look at where the big growth markets are, the bulk of demand growth is forecast in South and Southeast Asia and Qatar is well placed to target those markets," Giles Farrer, research director global LNG at Wood Mackenzie, said.
But the addition of 16 mtpa on top of Qatar's already planned increase of 33 mtpa will add to the anticipated oversupply in global markets post 2025, Farrer added.
Having dwarfed other countries in LNG production thanks to the North Field, the world's biggest natural gas field it shares with Iran, Qatar faces growing rivals.
The United States, in particular, has gone from being an LNG importer five years ago to becoming the world's fourth largest last year and by 2025 it will be closing in on Qatar with production of 106 mtpa.
QP had said before it was lifting its LNG production to around 110 million tonnes per annum by 2024, and that it would build four new production facilities, known as LNG trains.
Kaabi told Reuters in September that QP has short-listed international oil firms for a stake in its expanded North Field mega project, but may still choose to go it alone unless oil majors offer it significant value.

opencart: should we use it ?
What is Joomla and Why to choose a Joomla website?
CEO's don't dress like they're homeless and wine tasting events are generally never held in the back of a liquor store. There's a good reason behind this. People generally do not follow the "don't judge a book by it's cover" motto, so the very first thing they do is, you guessed it, judge your book by it's cover. The same is true for website designs -people visit your site and immediately make a decision on if it's a place they're going to spend time (and money) at, or if they're going to lump you in with the millions of other sites that look just like yours and move on to something else.


Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained give early warning of a fire so you can get out quickly.
Did you know? Illinois law requires that single family residences have smoke alarms installed on every level of the home, including the basement. There must be at least one smoke alarm within 15 feet of every room used for sleeping purposes. Even better is to have one smoke detector in every bedroom and to have all smoke alarms be interconnected.
Smoke alarms should be tested per the manufacturer's instructions (usually at least once a month) by pressing the test button.
Smoke alarms should be replaced every 8-10 years, per the manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure everyone in the home knows that the sound of the smoke alarm means to get out quickly!
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, coal, natural gas, propane, and methane) burn incompletely. CO alarms are your best protection because they provide warning when carbon monoxide reaches dangerous levels, allowing people time to escape.
Sources of CO include fuel-powered vehicles and equipment, gas and charcoal grills, and gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Water heaters, furnaces and kitchen ranges that are improperly installed or malfunctioning can also give off carbon monoxide.
CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by law. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home.
Test and replace CO alarms according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries. If the alarm still sounds after replacing batteries, make sure everyone exits the home and then call 911. The fire department will measure CO levels, help to identify the source, and let you know when it is safe to return.
CO poisoning can result in illness or death. Symptoms of CO poisoning include shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, light-headedness and headaches.
Don't warm your vehicle in the garage, even if garage doors are open.
Keep dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace vents clear of snow.
Have fuel-burning equipment and chimneys inspected annually by a professional.
When using a fireplace, always ensure the flue is open.
Never use gas or charcoal grills in the home or garage - only use outside.
We use electricity every day to make our lives easier. Follow these tips to utilize electricity safely.
Have all electrical work done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local requirements.
Be sure that electrical cords do not run under carpet or get caught under furniture legs. Check cords for signs of wear, frayed edges, or exposed wires. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Major appliances like refrigerators and clothes dryers should be plugged directly into a wall receptacle outlet and not plugged into extension cords or power strips.
Only plug one heat-producing appliance into an outlet at a time.
Have a qualified electrician add new outlets in areas where you need them rather than relying on extension cords. Extension cords are intended for temporary use only.
Buy electrical products with labels showing that have been tested by independent laboratories like Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Factory Mutual.
Signs of electrical problems include: frequent tripping of circuit breakers, discolored or warm electrical outlets, flickering or dimming lights, a tingling feeling when you touch an electrical appliance, and sparks from an outlet. Have a qualified electrician inspect your electrical system.
Keep anything that can burn, like oven mitts, towels, curtains and food packaging, away from the stove.
Stay by the stove when frying, grilling or broiling food. If you must step away, turn off the stove.
Check on items in the oven often. Set a timer as a reminder.
Wear short sleeves or roll up long sleeves when using the stove.
Never put water on a grease fire.
Keep a lid nearby while cooking on the stovetop. If you have a pan fire, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner.
If there is a fire in the oven, turn off the heat and keep the oven door closed.
Keep a 3-foot "kid-free zone" around the stove and hot food items.
Keep pot handles turned back, away from the stove edge, and use the back burners when possible.
Take care when removing lids from hot foods. Be careful when removing hot foods or liquids from the microwave.
Place hot items in the center of the dinner table. Keep hot liquids such as coffee away from children's reach.


Doesn't this yarn look fabulous? It ranked high among the crafty eye candy for sale at Renegade this past weekend. It was fun to chat briefly with Liz Maly, the talented maker of this lovely hand-dyed yarn and other fabulous Felt Cafe goods.
Check out the super cute, felted baby booties. This photo kind of makes me wish my feet were a lot smaller. I'm amazed by the vibrant colors Liz achieves with natural dyes. So lovely. The only yarn dyeing I've attempted has involved Kool-Aid. I wrote some basic Kool-Aid dyeing instructions for my newspaper craft column a while back. Download the project pdf if you're feeling inspired to work with dyes you can drink.
Howdy! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask. Does building a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work? I'm completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary daily. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
I and also my pals were found to be looking through the great things on your website then suddenly I got a horrible suspicion I had not thanked the blog owner for those tips. The boys are actually as a consequence thrilled to learn all of them and have now in truth been taking advantage of these things. I appreciate you for truly being indeed accommodating and then for figuring out this sort of outstanding resources most people are really eager to discover. Our honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to you sooner.

Q: Не могу найти ошибку, подскажите Достаю из файла XML некоторые параметры.
В файле есть 2 одинаковых блока но с разными значениями. Мне нужен тот блок где параметр тага "environment" равен "DEV".
Вот мой код:
private static String getFullNameOfOperation() {
    DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document document = builder.parse(new File(file));
    document.getDocumentElement().normalize();

    NodeList nList = document.getElementsByTagName("Environment");
    for (int i = 0; i < nList.getLength(); i++) {
        Node nNode = nList.item(i);

        System.out.println("\nCurrent Element :" + nNode.getNodeName());

        if (nNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

        Element eElement = (Element)
        if(eElement.getElementsByTagName("environment").item(0).getTextContent() == "DEV") {
                System.out.println("environment : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("environment").item(0).getTextContent());
                System.out.println("version : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("version").item(0).getTextContent());
                System.out.println("updateTimestamp : "+ eElement.getElementsByTagName("updateTimestamp").item(0).getTextContent());
                System.out.println("userId : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("userId").item(0).getTextContent());
                System.out.println("userName : " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("userName").item(0).getTextContent());
            } else {

            }
        }
    }
    return rootName.substring(0, startStr);
}

Mendon Township Planning Commission in late November 2018 tabled a decision about whether to amend a local ordinance regarding solar energy systems.
Mendon Township is south of Kalamazoo. The proposed White Pine Solar project is proposed for a 20-acre area on the north side of Prairie Corners Road, on both sides of Bucknell Road. Geronimo hopes to develop a 20-megawatt project that its officials said will generate more than $6 million in local tax revenue over a 25-year period.
Following feedback from 35 people at the meeting, the commission agreed to weigh all comments and regroup in December for a potential vote. Overall, the number of opponents of the plan proposed by Minnesota-based Geronimo Energy far outnumbered proponents, based on those who used their allotted two minutes to address the board.
It would be great to see pro-solar people at this meeting. Can you come?

Q: Terraform separate input variables via IF statement according to values of another input variable I have two elasticsearch services managed with terraform. But one version is 6.8 while the other is 7.10 . The problem is that I had to describe the ebs_option input variable because of the instance size that I am using. However, when I run the terraform plan command after describing this, I get the following output:
Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution
plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  ~ update in-place

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # module.aws-opensearch.aws_elasticsearch_domain.elastic-domains[1] will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "aws_elasticsearch_domain" "elastic-domains" {
        id                    = "arn:aws:es:eu-central-1:xxx:domain/new-elastic"
        tags                  = {
            "Environment" = "test"
            "Name"        = "new-elastic"
            "Namespace"   = "test"
        }
        # (9 unchanged attributes hidden)

      ~ ebs_options {
          - iops        = 3000 -> null
            # (4 unchanged attributes hidden)
        }

        # (13 unchanged blocks hidden)
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

Even though I apply it, I get the same output every time I run the terraform apply command.
When I researched this a bit, when elasticsearch is version 7.10, it uses gp3 storage. But in version 6.8 it uses gp2. There are some differences between the two that come by default. iops is one of them.
How can I overcome this problem? Since I defined it under a single module, I cannot give it separately.
I have terraform configuration below:
main.tf
resource "aws_elasticsearch_domain" "elastic-domains" {

  count = length(var.domain_names)

  domain_name           = var.domain_names[count.index].domain_name
  elasticsearch_version = var.domain_names[count.index].elasticsearch_version

  ...

  ebs_options {
    ebs_enabled = true
    volume_size = 50
  }
}

variables.tf
variable domain_names {
    type=list(object({
        domain_name           = string
        elasticsearch_version = number
    }))
}

terraform.tfvars
domain_names = [
    {
        domain_name           = "elastic"
        elasticsearch_version = "6.8"
    },
    {
        domain_name           = "new-elastic"
        elasticsearch_version = "7.10"
    }
]

A: You conditionally set the iops to null depending on the version. E.g.
ebs_options {
    ebs_enabled = true
    volume_size = 50
    iops = startswith(var.domain_names[count.index].elasticsearch_version, "7") ? 3000 : null
}


Well, the big news 'round these parts is that my great friend, musical partner, and roommate-of-late Mason Brown fell 12 feet from some scaffolding on the construction site where he works when he's not onstage somewhere, and broke his leg! This happened on Wednesday, March 8, and I'm happy to report that he's doing just fine (considering the broken left femur!) and is out of the hospital and recuperating with his lovely girlfriend. Thank goodness he didn't die or permanantly cripple himself... nobody actually saw the accident but his upper body landed on a pile of sawdust and dirt, so not only is he NOT dead, but he didn't break anything other than that leg. No heads, arms, or fingers, so he's still jammin' on the banjo, guitar, and viola da gamba! His lower body landed on a 6" slab of concrete, however, and that's what broke his leg.
In fact, he's doing so well that just a day or two ago I strolled into my studio, Casa Bruja, and found him splayed on a couch with microphones all around him as he was recording a backing guitar part for his upcoming CD release, When Humans Walked The Earth. And he was burning it up!
Sheesh! It's good to hear Mason is alright. Rob and I are muddling along. I'm let down to see that Norman isn't on your list of dates but April looks to a hellacious month for us so it may be for the best. Nice to see your blog, I plan to be a regular reader from here on out, I even got a Blogger account so I can comment occassionally.

While working on a recent project, I was faced with the task of preventing users from going click-crazy on the page while they waited for an AJAX call to be completed. I didn't have time to manually disable all the page's actionable elements and needed something I could reuse across all the pages on the site to maintain a nice and uniform user experience. Enter the JS Overlay.
As I mentioned on Twitter a short while ago, I'm starting to put up several pieces of code on Github to share with the world. These are usually going to be helper functions that I find myself reusing across projects and I'll document them as best I can (suggestions are always appreciated). This is my way of showing you my love. I hope you find this token of affection more acceptable than my girlfriend does.
Extract the files into a subfolder in your web project.
Reference overlay.js and overlay.css in your page's header.
Activate the overlay by calling the showOverlay() function within your script.
Remove the overlay by calling the hideOverlay() function once your process is complete.
Boom! That's it. The result is a nice grayed out overlay that shows a spinning cog in the middle of the screen.
They see me spinnin'. They hatin'.
The actual overlay does spin. I didn't have an animated GIF budget for this article so just pretend it's spinning for now.
Keep in mind that for this to work correctly you must also have a jQuery and a Font-Awesome reference in your page's header. If you don't know how to do any of this or want more details, keep reading.
The first part of the showOverlay() function creates the fullscreen overlay and places it over the page's body. No need to make any changes there.
The second part throws in the spinner and this is why Font-Awesome needs to be loaded. You can use any other icon available in their collection by replacing fa-cog.
Finally, as is hopefully very evident, the hideOverlay() function removes both dynamically created divs from the page.
The first selector applies to the fullscreen overlay and makes it fill the entire viewport while giving it a black background with 60% opacity. I'll leave you to tweak that as you see fit.
The second one applies to the spinner and places it roughly centered on the screen. You can mess around with the values a bit so that it makes sense with your page's layout and color scheme.
The position is set to fixed so that both elements remain covering the screen even while you scroll around to your heart's content.
The above code is a template of an AJAX call using jQuery. Place the showOverlay() and hideOverlay() functions within the options of the AJAX call to keep things self-contained and executing properly. You can't really put the show and hide functions outside of the call because of their asynchronous nature (it's the first A in AJAX if you didn't know). That means that the code doesn't pause on the AJAX call while it executes. If you place the calls outside, the script will just run through and the overlay will appear and disappear so fast you won't even notice.
You can get the most up-to-date version of this code on the Github page. Please feel free to contribute to the code there if you think it can be improved.
If you have any questions let me know in the comments and I'll be happy to help out. I'd like to give a special shout out to Todor Iliev who created the original script that this is based on.

In order to provide more adequate food security services to Asian Pacific Islander families, AYC partnered with the Asian Pacific Community Fund (APCF) to procure, process, and distribute foods that are culturally familiar to Asian and Pacific Islander families. Support from APCF was utilized to establish partnerships with various Asian food manufacturers, distributors, and retail vendors to increase donations of typical Asian foods and to work in partnership with local businesses to conduct food drives. In addition, AYC recruits and train volunteers to carry out the collection, packing, and distribution process.
In 2019, AYC renewed its partnership with the LA Regional Food Bank. We are excited to offer a more robust food inventory for families in need.

MTT is developing recuperated micro turbines up to 30 kW electrical power for CHP and other applications. The primary objective is to reduce production costs towards competitive levels. This can only be realized using off-the-shelf technologies for large volume production. Automotive turbocharger performance and efficiency have increased significantly during recent years, even for very small sizes. This has created an opportunity to develop low-cost micro turbines that can be produced in large volumes at low prices. Coupled with a generator electric power can be produced. By adding a recuperator, a large portion of the exhaust gas heat is recovered and electrical efficiency can be substantially increased.With low cost configurations, 16% electrical efficiency can be realized offering an excellent solution for a micro CHP application. With more advanced versions, levels up to 25% can be realized opening a wide variety of additional applications.
MTT's micro turbines surpass competitors in output efficiency, costs and environmental performance.
While natural gas is the initial fuel of choice for the domestic micro CHP application, liquid fuels such as heating oil or diesel are required at locations without access to a natural gas distribution grid. A separate development program has been started for development of a clean combustor for liquid fuels that will comply with future emission requirements. The liquid fuel option also opens many other application areas for MTT micro turbines.
Future development work will involve cost reduction programs that will be conducted to further reduce unit costs of the current micro CHP system design while maintaining performance and efficiency.
In addition, advanced designs will be developed including micro turbines with improved efficiencies of compressor, turbine and recuperator and also higher cycle pressure ratio, resulting in significantly higher electric efficiency levels. This work is performed in collaboration with MTT's technology partners TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, TNO and National Aerospace Laboratory NLR.


Ways to cut costs and manage your expenses when studying abroad.
Studying abroad needs planning; beyond your tuition costs you have to think about your daily living expenses. While you may have planned for this, living expenses as a student in a new country can throw some surprises your way. In order to stay prepared for the unexpected, and within budget, here are few ways you can cuts costs and manage your expenses.
There are many scholarships awarded specifically to International students. These include general assistance, as well as targeted awards for people applying to certain programs, awards for diversity, first-generation students, and merit awards. Fulbright scholarships (offered by the US) and Chevening Scholarships (by the UK) are popular scholarship programs among international students. Find out more about scholarships offered in the US and Canada from our blogs.
Travelling to the country you will be studying in will be a major upfront expense. Thankfully, there are many airlines which specialise in low cost airfare; Airlines such as Southwest, Ryanair, and EasyJet offer travel to many countries around the world at a fraction of the cost. A few airlines may offer additional baggage allowances to students.Search for the best deals on airline tickets before you book. Also understand that you may not have the funds to fly home to see your family during your Study abroad program.
One of the biggest expenses you will incur while studying abroad is housing. Although this may not be an option during your first year of study, you can reduce your housing expenses by choosing to participate in a homestay. A homestay is where you will live with a host family in your new country during the duration of your program. A homestay can include meals and laundry, in addition to a room. This is also a great way to immerse yourself in the culture, meet new people, and pick up the local language very quickly.
Using the same bank card (you used back home) to make purchases or withdraw money from an ATM could result in large fees. Each time you withdraw money from your bank, these expenses will add up. Consider opening an account at a bank in the country you will be studying abroad in. Alternatively, find an international bank with branches in both your home country and the country you will be staying in. Or, find a bank with free ATM withdrawals and no foreign transaction fees. This will all help eliminate these often unplanned and unforeseen costs.
Eating can be a major expense while studying abroad. You can reduce this cost by choosing to cook your own meals rather than purchasing a meal plan through your university. Dining hall plans can be expensive. Going to the grocery store, buying food and cooking it yourself will help you save money, introduce you to local foods and be a fun social experience. Of course you will want to go out to eat at times; in these cases, ordering daily specials, appetizers, and using carry-out containers will help you save money.
Your student ID is the magic ticket to getting you discounts to all of your favorite things. College students can get discounts on travel, concerts, restaurants, movies, school supplies, and more. For example, Eurorail offers a 35% discount for people 25 and under on their rail passes. The university you are studying at should also be able to tell you what businesses will give you a discount when you use your student ID card.
