Alfred de Pischof est un ingénieur, pionnier de l'aviation à la triple nationalité.

Biographie
Il est né à Vienne dans une famille française originaire de Russie.
En 1901, il suit les enseignements du lycée Chaptal et de l'ESTP.
Il participe à la réalisation du percement du tunnel des Karawanken, ligne de chemin-de-fer Assling à Villach (1901-1905).

Il crée en 1906 son propre planeur, qu'il essaie sur les hauteurs de Palaiseau, puis, en 1907 son propre aéronef, le Pischnof , surnommé : « Le vol au vent ». Il côtoie les Blériot, Farman, et autre Voisin.

C'est avec Paul Koechlin (1881-1916), qu'en 1908-1909, ils réalisent ensemble un monoplan à trois paires d'ailes en tandem, la dernière étant  la queue stabilisatrice, équipé d'un moteur Duteil & Chalmers à deux cylindres horizontaux opposés d'une puissance de ,qu'ils feront voler sur  et  à Villacoublay, le 29 octobre 1908.

En 1909, il est de retour à Vienne pour la société Wemer & Pfleider où il construisit un avion qui allait le rendre célèbre l'« Autoplan » car considéré le plus sûr et le plus innovant de l'époque. Pischof passa le brevet de pilote le 24 avril 1910 afin de pouvoir piloter lui-même sa machine. Il est le premier à survoler le Mont-Saint-Michel lors d'un vol d'entraînement en vue de la traversée de la Manche. Mais Blériot le devance le 25 juillet 1909.

En 1910, il ouvre deux écoles de pilotage à Issy-les-Moulineaux et à Juvisy, puis vend les plans et la licence de son : « Autoplan ».

Il se pose en  sur le campus de l'École Spéciale des Travaux Publics à Cachan pour saluer plusieurs centaines d'élèves que dirige monsieur Léon Eyrolles, puis redécolle pour se rendre à Port-Aviation, son terrain à Viry-Châtillon, avec son « Autoplan » de bois et de toile d'une envergure de .

Il retourne en Autriche en 1909, puis en Russie en . Il prend la direction des usines d'avions Terestcenko à Kiev et un peu plus tard, il devient sous-directeur de l'usine Anatra à Odessa, et travailla ensuite chez l'avionneur Mathias à Berdiansk. Engagé volontaire dans les troupes impériales russe aux côtés du général Anton Dénikine à la fin de 1917.
C'est à la fin de l'année 1920 qu'il rentre en France.
En 1922, il construit un très petit avion équipé d'un moteur de 10 ch, dans le but de mettre l'aviation à la portée de tous. Son avion est l'ancêtre de l'ULM, qu'il fait construire aux établissements Chauvière à Ivry-sur-Seine. Dans la cabine, une selle de vélo sert de siège, deux pédales. Cet engin est baptisé la bicyclette, et monte à  d'altitude. Elle prendra également le nom  d'avionnette

Le 13 août 1922, en revenant de Villacoublay, en direction d'Orly, avec sa bicyclette volante où il venait de faire un vol de certification, il est projeté par une violente rafale de vent hors de son appareil dont il n'avait pas bouclé la ceinture et se tue en tombant d'une hauteur de , au-dessus de Châtenay-Malabry, dans les Hauts-de-Seine.

Décorations
 Chevalier des Palmes académiques pour ses travaux d'ingénieur.

Hommages
 La ville de Joigny (Yonne) a donné son nom à une rue de la commune.
 Un timbre illustrant le premier vol à Villacoublay représentant l'avion de Pischof est sorti le .

Institutionalizing Ethics
June 8, 2012 Sree Rama Rao Human Resource Management
Business ethics are increasingly addressed in seminars and at conferences. Managers, especially top managers do have a responsibility to create an organizational environment that fosters ethical decision making by institutionalizing ethics. This means applying and integrating ethical concepts with daily actions. This can be accomplished in three ways:
by establishing an appropriate company policy or a code of ethics,
by using a formally appointed ethics committee, and
by teaching ethics in management development programmes;
The most common way to institutionalize ethics is to establish a code of ethics, much less common is the use of ethics board committees. Management development programmes dealing with ethical issues are very seldom used, although companies such as Allied Chemical, International Business machines, and General Electric have instituted such programmes.
The publication of a code of ethics is not enough. Some companies require employees to sign the code and include ethics criteria in the performance appraisal. Moreover, certain firms connect compensation, and rewards to ethical behaviour. Managers should also take any opportunity to encourage ethical behaviour and publicize it. On the other hand, employees should be encouraged to report unethical practices. Most important, managers must be a good example through ethical behaviour and practices.
A code is a statement of policies, principles, or rules that guide behaviour. Certainly, codes of ethics do not apply only to business enterprises; they should guide the behaviour of persons in all organizations and in everyday life.
Simply stating a code of ethics is not enough, and the appointment of an ethics committee, consisting of internal and external directors, is considered essential for institutionalizing ethical behaviour. The functions of such committees may include:
holding regular meetings to discuss ethical issues.
dealing with grey areas.
communicating the code to all members of the organization
checking for possible violations of the code
enforcing the code
rewarding compliance and punishing violations,
reviewing and updating the code, and
reporting activities of the committee to the board of directors.
Factors that raise Ethical standards:
The two factors that raise ethical standards the most according to the respondents in one study are 1) public disclosure and publicity and 2) the increased concern of a well-informed public. These factors are followed by government regulations and by education to increase the professionalism of business managers.
For ethical codes to be effective, provisions must be made for their enforcement. Unethical managers should be held responsible for their actions. This means that privileges and benefits should be withdrawn and sanctions should be applied. Although the enforcement of ethical codes may not be easy, the mere existence of such codes can increase ethical behaviour by clarifying expectations. On the other hand one should not expect ethical codes to solve all the problems. In fact, they can create a false sense of security. Effective code enforcement requires a consistent ethical behaviour and support from top management.
Another factor that could raise ethical standards is the teaching of ethics and values in business and other schools and universities.
Another way of encouraging ethical corporate behaviour is through whistle blowing that is making known to outside agencies what are considered unethical company practices.
There is even a whistle blower website that discusses whistle blowing issues including legal issues and protection. The Whistle blowing centre is a non-profit organization that helps enforce environmental laws and works for accountability of business and government organizations. The primary objective is to protect and defend persons that disclose actions harmful to the environmental and public health.
The contractor for the rocket in the Challenger Space Shuttle pointed out the problems with the O-rings that became ineffective at low temperatures. His fears and concerns were largely ignored by the management and eventually led to the Challenger disaster. A nuclear power whistle blower who sued the Westinghouse Hanford Company. He was fired from his job, but later was rewarded by a federal judge an entitlement for a lifetime front pay. In America, legislation now gives greater protection to government whistle blowers. There is now some evidence that after the September 11, 2001 World Trade Centre bombing more employees have come forward to disclose security issues.
Different Ethical standards of various Societies:
Any person in business government a university or some other organization is aware that ethical as well as legal, standards do differ particularly among nations and societies. For example, certain nations with privately owned companies permit corporations to make contributions to political parties, campaigns and candidates.
In some countries, payments to government officials and other persons with political influence to ensure the favourable handling of a business transaction are regarded not as unethical bribes but as proper payments for services rendered. In many cases payments made to ensure the landing of a contract are even looked upon as a normal and acceptable way of doing business.

Q: FirebaseFirestore.getInstance() and app has stoped I run my Android app (based on Java), and it works.
Next, I add to my app code:
FirebaseFirestore fdb = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
This code I got from the official Android site
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/quickstart
App runs, but next the running device shows the message "app has stopped".
I use a device simulator available in Android Studio.
It is my first Android app, and I can't understand what is going.

A: At the end of your log, just before the initial crash. there is a warning:

Default FirebaseApp failed to initialize because no default options
were found.  This usually means that com.google.gms:google-services
was not applied to your gradle project.

simply adding com.google.gms:google-services should fix any issues you have, if you have issues, ensure your Gradle cache is cleared or run without the build cache
--no-build-cache

- Some photographs were created by the photographers of the American Colony Photo Department, located in Jerusalem. Founded in the late 1890s by Elijah Meyers, the photo agency was headed during its heyday (ca. 1903-1933) by Lewis Larsson, whose staff photographers included Erik Lind, Lars Lind, Furman Baldwin, and G. Eric Matson. It transitioned into the Matson Photo Service around 1940, with photography by Matson, Hanna Safieh, Joseph H. Giries, and others. John D. Whiting, contributed periodically to the work of both agencies. For more information see: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/pp.matpc and http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/coll/629_whiting.html

TrekNews.net was recently provided two unedited clips from COPD: Highly Illogical–A Special Tribute to Leonard Nimoy — featuring an interview with Doctor Belperio, who treated Nimoy during the last four months of his life at UCLA Medical Center. During the interview, Belperio discusses Leonard's initial exam with him, the symptoms he presented and his final wish of educating and creating awareness for COPD. You can watch both of those below.
Crowdfunding for the documentary film project is nearing completion. The campaign, which kicked off last summer and has raised just under $25,000 of its $150,000 goal, culminates on Sunday (March 13).
The film is being directed Adam Nimoy, and is being produced by Julie Nimoy and David Knight through their company Health Point Productions LLC.
Rewards for IndiGoGo contributors include: three-day passes to attend Star Trek: Mission New York in September, a set visit, dinner with Julie Nimoy, David Knight and the film's crew, and more. For a full list and to contribute to the film, visit IndiGoGo.
"The documentary film COPD: Highly Illogical–A Special Tribute to Leonard Nimoy is an effort by me and my husband, David Knight, to continue my father's last wish and to advocate for COPD awareness." she said.


I went 2-2 last weekend, getting the west games right (Edmonton, Calgary) and the east games wrong (Toronto, Buffalo). Since Tyler only went 1-3, we're now tied at 39-16, one game better than the top IL Indoor prognosticator, Bob Chavez.
EDM @ ROC Toughest test yet for the Rush. Of course, I thought the Bandits would be a tough test for the Rush and they handled them like they were the 2013 Bandits. Looking forward to this one.
MIN @ CAL Last week's Swarm victory over the Bandits (and their OT loss to the Rock the week before) gave the Swarm some confidence but it'll take more than confidence to get past Mike Poulin and keep from getting swamped by the Calgary powerhouse offense. Imagine how good they'd be with Scott Ranger in the lineup every day.
PHI @ COL Adam Jones returns alongside Casey Powell, John Grant, and Drew Westervelt. Oh and Sean Pollock, Athan Iannucci, and Joel Dalgarno. Obviously Jones' injury hurt and Powell and Iannucci have only played 5 games each, but this team should really be in the top few in goals scored per game rather than 8th. Still, they have the firepower to get by Philly as long as Mr. Crowley doesn't have another one of those outbursts like last weekend.
BUF @ VAN Buffalo's street cred took a bit of a beating last weekend, getting blown out by the best team in the league and then losing to the worst team in the league. But I think they're still a good enough team to beat the floundering Stealth.
EDM @ TOR I'm bringing my dad to this game so hopefully the Rock puts on a good show. If the Rock from the early part of the season – who lost to the Rush by 1, beat the Roughnecks handily, and demolished the Wings – shows up we're in good shape. At least they'll put up a good fight. If the more recent Rock, losers of four of the last five, show up, we're in trouble. Either way, I think the Rush take this one.
There I am, just sitting at my computer watching the Swarm play the Bandits… when it happens. I'm not shocked, but a little startled. A week later, the Rock are playing the Swarm and it happens again, more than once. Again, not shocking but my anxiety level starts to rise. Then it happens again this past weekend (I was so distraught I don't even remember which game it was), and I lose it. I snap. I resolve right then and there to write yet another name pronunciation guide (here's last year's and the original from 2011) in the hopes that the NLL announcers will read it and start pronouncing the players' names right, even if only for a change of pace. I may have to start doing one of these every year to cover the rookies.
A couple of times recently I've even heard announcers getting names entirely wrong. If you see "Aaron Wilson" and decide "Aaron" is pronounced "COLL-in", well I can't help you. I'm doing my best by writing this article but I'm no miracle worker.
Note that not all NLL announcers are in need of this list. Guys like Dave Walls and Jake Elliott know the league and the players and while they might get a rookie's name wrong in his first game, they're not going to mess up Kelusky or Steenhuis. But not all of the announcers are as familiar with the players, so this article is for them.
I've organized the names alphabetically within their teams starting with the East division.
Logan Schuss – SHUSS (rhymes with BUS). Confirmed by Logan himself.
Billy Hostrawser – HO-straw-zer. I got this wrong last year.
Geoff Snider – SNY-der. One of my pet peeves is when he's called SHNY-der.
Riley Loewen – LOW-en where LOW does not rhyme with COW.
Kyle Rubisch – ROO-bish. My Scottish relatives might say it like "rubbish" but he's not.
Nick Weiss – WEES. I know, right? Looks like WYSS! But it's not! The hell, man?
Steve Bermel – BERM-ull. Rhymes with "thermal". IL Indoor Bandits writer.
Jamie Dawick – DOW-ick. DOW rhymes with, you guessed it, COW. Owner of the Rock.
Tyler Fitch – TY-ler FITCH. My other co-host on Addicted to Lacrosse. Easy name to pronounce but I didn't want to leave him out.
Marisa Ingemi – muh-RISS-a in-JEMM-ee. In Lacrosse We Trust writer.
Darris Kilgour – DARE-iss KILL-gore. Former Bandits coach/GM.
Curt Malawsky – muh-LOW-skee. Had to get another COW rhyme in there. Roughnecks head coach.
In case you think I forgot to post this article before this week's games started, you're absolutely wrong. I forgot to write this article before this week's games started. Luckily I announced my picks, as I always do, on the Addicted to Lacrosse show on Monday, so there's no question of my making my picks after one game is over (Edmonton beat Buffalo earlier tonight) and the other is half finished (Calgary is up 8-2 on Vancouver at the half as I type this).
I went 5-0 last weekend and I'm now 11-1 in the last three weeks. Actually 12-1 since the Rush have already won this weekend.
CAL @ VAN This pick was somewhat of a no-brainer for me, though both Tyler and Melissa picked Vancouver. Perhaps I've lost all confidence in the Stealth or have too much confidence in the Roughnecks, but I spent very little time thinking about this one.
TOR @ PHI This one I thought more about. The last two Rock games have featured great first halves and lousy second halves. But they've done a bit of a rebuild mid-way through the season, bringing in Brandon Miller, Kevin Ross, Jimmy Purves and out of retirement, Cam Woods. Meanwhile, the Wings have lost six straight.
BUF @ MIN Top team in the east vs. bottom team in the league – another no-brainer. Could the Swarm pull off the upset? Sure, but I'm not betting on it.
If anyone knows what John Lovell said to the Toronto Rock at halftime of Saturday night's game, please don't tell me. If I hear it, I might just lay down and have a nap, ignoring whatever task I'm in the middle of.
The Rock started strong, scoring six goals on their first seven shots and chasing Matt Vinc from the Knighthawks net early in the second quarter. I know, right? They chased Matt Vinc! Doyle had a hat-trick, Billings and Hellyer had a couple each, and Leblanc had one – and this is only 4½ minutes into the second quarter. Rochester had their chances as well, but Nick Rose was solid in the first half – better than solid, actually, he was really good. The Knighthawks scattered five goals throughout the first half, while the Rock scored eight on Vinc, though they only scored one after backup Angus Goodleaf was brought in. Toronto was definitely in control at the half, leading 9-5.
And then came The Speech. Maybe it was something like "Well, this game's over boys, we don't need to try so hard in the second half" and everybody on the Rock's veteran-laden team bought that. Maybe it was something like "I feel sorry for those poor Knighthawks. Maybe we should let them back in the game to make them feel better!" Or perhaps it was an early April Fool's joke and the two teams switched uniforms.
Whatever happened, it was bad. The second half of this game might have been the worst half of lacrosse the team has played all season. Rochester had scored the last goal of the second quarter and then scored the next seven goals to turn a 9-4 Rock lead into a 12-9 Knighthawks lead. Finally Garrett Billings scored, 16 minutes after the Rock's last goal, to break the streak but the Hawks just started a new one, scoring the next five and putting the game out of reach. In the end, Rochester outscored the Rock 12-3 in the second half. The Nick Rose from the first half was nowhere to be seen, which led to a couple of goalie changes, with Steve Fryer making his Rock debut. Rose was brought back in later, but then was pulled a second time. The offense couldn't get anything going, and they seemed to go from "Hey, we should really start scoring a few here or we'll run out of time for the comeback" to full-on panic "Shoot as soon as you get the ball and maybe we'll get lucky and it'll go in!" mode in no time flat. The second half collapse wasn't entirely the fault of goaltending though, there were a number of defensive breakdowns that resulted in some Knighthawk player by himself with the ball on the edge of the crease and a few seconds to decide where to put it. Regardless of who the goalie is or how he's playing, the majority of those are going in.
Just two days after the @NLLFactOfTheDay was about Angus Goodleaf, he came in and played an outstanding game. When he came out to start the third and fourth quarters, I was a little surprised that they didn't go back to Vinc, but the way Goodleaf was playing there was really no point in putting Vinc back in. When you can keep the Rock offense to four goals in forty minutes, I don't care how many Goalie of the Year awards the other guy has, you are staying in the net. FYI Goodleaf is no longer the league's GAA leader – that would be Brodie MacDonald with 5.37, while Goodleaf has 5.41. Goodleaf is still the league's save % leader at 87.2%. He's also played over 55 minutes this season, over ten times what he played last year.
Jesse Gamble and Scott Self were in a "fight" in the first quarter. I put "fight" in quotes because it took them long enough to get each other's helmets off so that they could fight, it looked like they were too tired to continue. I'm not sure Self actually threw any punches, and Gamble might have thrown a couple.
Just look at this Colin Doyle spin-o-rama goal. Just look at it. This is the last goal that Vinc allowed.
Cody Jamieson gets credit for this goal but just watch the play that birthday boy Johnny Powless makes to set it up. Powless has played 2½ seasons and has won two Championships and he just turned 21.
Near the end of the game, some clearly drunk Rock fan (in a Chicago Shamrox jersey) started chirping to the Knighthawks players in the penalty box and then started making rude gestures to them, even grabbing the plexiglass between him and them and almost pulling it down. He was thrown out but as he left, he started waving to the fans and they cheered him. Why? Why does this idiot deserve cheering? Why aren't we embarrassed?
No announcement was made at the game, but Dan Dawson netted his 1000th career point in this game. Congrats to one of the best scorers in league history and a slam-dunk Hall of Famer once he retires. He's still playing at an awfully high level though, so retirement could still be (and hopefully will be) many years away.
I was 3-1 last week, only missing the Calgary-Colorado game. Some tough ones this week, and I picked a few based solely on my gut and not on anything I can explain.
EDM @ CAL If anybody can beat the Rush, it's Calgary. But I have to play the odds and go with Edmonton.
ROC @ TOR Once again, I find it hard to pick against Matt Vinc, even when it's the Rock facing him. Despite going 0-2 the other weekend, the Rock didn't play all that bad other than the first quarter of the Calgary game. I imagine the week off will help get everyone healthy again, but I'm still going with the Hawks.
COL @ BUF Colorado played really well against the Roughnecks last weekend, but I still think the Bandits are the best team in the East, and best in the league outside of Edmonton.
ROC @ PHI Rochester had a little bit of trouble with the Wings last weekend, other than the fourth quarter when they pulled away. Don't see it going any differently this week.
TOR @ MIN Minnesota's confidence is rising, even if they haven't beaten anyone but the Wings. They played strong against the Bandits last week, but I'm still picking the Rock in this one.
The good news: 3-0 last week! The bad news: The Rock 0-2 weekend that I predicted came true. Was kinda hoping I'd be wrong on one of those.
All three members of the Addicted to Lacrosse team made the same picks for this weekend.
MIN @ BUF Buffalo hasn't played in a couple of weeks, but their confidence is still running high, though Minnesota's is probably not bad either after beating the Wings and a close loss to Toronto. Still gotta go with the Bandits.
PHI @ ROC Philly's lost four in a row, and they're facing Matt Vinc. I don't see the upset here.
CAL @ COL Calgary's offense was clicking big-time last weekend, and against the Colorado defense (and three rookie coaches), they might just have another field day.

7 Things We Can't Wait to See at the 2016 Emmy Awards
By Janelle Grodsky
Updated: Sep 16, 2016 @ 1:22 pm
Jennifer Lourie/WireImage
This Sunday is TV's biggest night: the Primetime Emmy Awards! The show will air live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and that means the stars will be out in full force. Aside from the stellar fashion we know will grace the red carpet, we can't wait to see which of our favorite series will win big. The telecast airs this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Before tuning in, check out all of the things we can't wait to see before, during, and after the 68th annual ceremony.
1. Funnyman host, Jimmy Kimmel
This year marks the second time Jimmy Kimmel will host the Emmy ceremony and if his first go-around is any indication, he will definitely bring lots of laughs. Plus, his ABC late-night show is also nominated for Outstanding Variety Talk Series, so we might be seeing a lot of him onstage.
2. The surprise guest stars
Kimmel is known for having famous BFFs so we're hoping he will invite a few to join him onstage. Could you imagine if Matt Damon or John Krasinski did one of their famous pranks on him during the telecast? Crossing our fingers.
3. The red carpet fashion
TV staples like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kerry Washington, and Claire Danes always have major fashion moments on the Emmys red carpet and we can't wait to see what they choose to rock this year. We're also looking forward to seeing Taraji P. Henson, Emilia Clarke, Amy Schumer, and Viola Davis. You know they're going to be show-stoppers.
4. The Game of Thrones cast reunited
HBO's Game of Thrones has earned 23 nominations this year—the most out of any program! You know what that means? Our favorite Westeros locals will be reunited at the Microsoft Theater and we can't wait to see them all together again. We're pulling for you, GoT.
5. The fate of People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
Will this anthology series win big at the Emmy Awards? The show was an instant fan favorite when it aired earlier this year and only time will tell if it's equally well-received by Emmy voters. With 22 nominations, we have a feeling it'll do just fine.
6. All of the first-time nominees
We're hoping all of the first-time nominees dominate the ceremony this year. From Rami Malek's amazing portrayal in Mr. Robot to Aziz Ansari's hilarious breakout role in Master of None, these first-timers deserve to win. They're both up for Lead Actor—Malek for a Drama Series and Ansari for a Comedy Series. We're also rooting for Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and Tracee Ellis Ross (black-ish) for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
7. The parties
After the telecast ends, the night just begins for some of the stars, kicking off with the Governors Ball. All winners make their way to this annual celebration to engrave their new trophies and nosh on delicious food by the Patina Restaurant Group. After, networks like HBO, Amazon, Netflix, Fox, and AMC host fetes to celebrate their own series.

Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater shots and many other scenes. The full realization of the Art concept, the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is the perfect flagship. Hold it in your own hands and appreciate it with your own eyes.
A large-aperture lens with minimal axial chromatic aberration and superb peripheral resolution.
Several types of optical aberration can affect the image quality of a lens. Chromatic aberration is among the most important, and minimizing it is essential. There are two types of chromatic aberration: transverse, which can be corrected for with digital processing; and axial, which is difficult to minimize after a shot is taken. In the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM, FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass, which is equivalent to fluorite in its characteristics, and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass help optimize the power distribution of the lens. This optimization minimizes axial chromatic aberration by causing the different wavelengths of light to strike the same focus position while also minimizing transverse chromatic aberration. In addition, aspheric lenses help minimize astigmatism and field curvature. Thanks to these features, resolution is extremely high from the center to the edges of the photograph.
Axial chromatic aberration becomes a bigger issue with large-aperture lenses. As compared to conventional 35mm F1.4 lenses, this new lens is designed to produce images with extremely low chromatic aberration. As a result, it is possible to achieve a bokeh effect that is cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than ever before.
Putting a large-aperture aspheric lens first in the series of lenses makes possible a slim barrel. A single FLD glass lens, which boasts the same performance as a fluorite lens, is combined with four SLD glass lenses to minimize chromatic aberration. And optimized power distribution helps correct various types of optical aberration. These features give this F1.4 large-aperture lens truly optimal image quality.
Minimal distortion combined with beautiful bokeh effects at large-aperture settings.
The aspheric lens at the front of the lens series helps minimize both distortion and vignetting. The rounded diaphragm produces an attractive round bokeh effect at large-aperture settings. Optimized power distribution minimizes sagittal coma flare. Coma of point light sources near the edge of the image and axial chromatic aberration are both minimized, making the lens an excellent choice for photographing nighttime landscapes and heavenly bodies.
All lenses in SIGMA's new Art line come with a hood with a high-quality rubberized connector and feature a newly designed lens cap and AF/MF switch, and are designed for intuitive use and superior functionality. Inside, HSM (hypersonic motor) delivers high AF speed and extremely quiet performance. An enhanced algorithm offers even smoother automatic focusing. Full-time manual focus override is another key feature that leaves the artistic touches in the photographer's hands. The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens. In both the external and internal parts, the optimized use of TSC(Thermally Stable Composite), an excellent match for metal parts, further contributes to the high-precision construction of the lens.
This system adjusts the distance between lens groups during focusing, thereby reducing the amount of lens movement required. The result is less aberration at different shooting distances. Benefits are particularly great in macro lenses because they cover a wide range of shooting distances, and in wide-angle lenses, which employ asymmetric configurations of lens elements.

As I've mentioned in a previous post, Sarah Bingaman's Heart Living content has been incredibly impactful to me these last 12 months. One of my big take aways is her content on the Journey out of Religiosity. I wouldn't have considered myself a destructively religious person, but as I continued to relate with the Lord through the last 12 months I realized that in many areas I was hanging on to self constructed scaffolding instead of responding to the movement of his Spirit.
The idea that I was actually created to hear and respond to the whispers of his spirit so challenges my desire for consistency and control. I began to take inventory of all of the places that structure and scaffolding was actually perpetuating my regular connection with God and then the realization… there's another way.
A mold is put in place in order to set that which is inside. The mold is not the final experience. The intention from the beginning [like Adam + Eve beginning] was that we would commune with God in a fluid natural experience of relational response.
I found it to be a helpful process to begin to ask the questions: In what areas am I simply leaning on my scaffolding? Is this scaffolding still necessary for the season that I'm in? Does God want to relate to me more naturally? God… do you want to relate to me differently… if so… how?

Центральний повстанський комітет — підпільний військово-політичний центр з керівництва українським антиденикінським рухом опору на території Таганрозької округи в лютому–березні 1919 року.

Після піднятого повстання в станиці Федорівці 14 лютого там був створений повстанський штаб, який розробив подальший план дій і виділив керівника повстання в окрузі. 20 лютого 1919 повстанський штаб Федорівки скликав з'їзд уповноважених революційних комітетів повсталих сіл в слободі Ханженкове. На з'їзді було обрано Центральний повстанський комітет в який увійшли:
 Корольов А.
 Горланов Д. Х.
 Мірошниченко Р. П.
 Форостянко

ЦПШ шукав зброю для чого зв'язався з Таганрогом. При штабі був створений штаб формування, який займався записом і формуванням повстанських загонів.

27 лютого центральний повстанський комітет з частиною повстанських загонів відступив до Маріуполя.

Papers of John Adams, volume 1
To Samuel Quincy
To Jonathan Sewall
From Jonathan Sewall, 29 September 1759 Sewall, Jonathan JA From Jonathan Sewall, 29 September 1759 Sewall, Jonathan Adams, John
From Jonathan Sewall
Dear Sir Charlestown 29th. Sepr. 1759
My1 Absence from home for this Week past has occasioned my delaying an Answer to your very agreable Favor of the 14th. Instant.2
It gives me the most sensible Pleasure to find in my Friend so becoming a Resolution to persevere in the sublime Study of the Law, maugre all the Difficultys and perplexing Intricacies with which it seems embarrassed. I call it a sublime Study; and what more sublime! what more worthy the indefatigable Labours and Pursuit of a reasonable Man! than that Science by which Mankind raise themselves from the forlorn helpless State in which Nature leave's them, to the full Enjoyment of all the inestimable Blessings of Social Union, and by which, they (if you will allow the Expression) triumph over the Frailty and Imperfections of Humanity?
Tho' in my last3 I mentioned the Greatness of the Task we have voluntarily set ourselves; and the Shortness of the Time to which by the present Constitution of Things we are confined, as an Apology for my attempting to assist you in your Progress; and to justify you in making Use of Means so vastly disproportionate to the End; I say, tho' I hinted these Things to these Purposes; yet I would not have you conclude from hence; that I am discouraged from the Pursuit. No my Friend, I thank God, I am at present far from a State of Despondency. The Difficultys, 'tis true, are great, but the Motives to Resolution and Diligence are superiour. The Obstacles are surmounted by the Industrious; are insurmountable only to the perversely indolent and effeminately irresolute. For my own part, I am determined, as I have (to return you a Scripture-metaphorical-Phrase) put my Hand 29to the Plough, not to look back, and it is not the smallest Encouragement, that I have found in you a fellow-Traveller who, if at any Time thro' Inattention, Inability or Ignorance I should stop short or deviate, can, and I doubt not will, kindly lend an helping Hand and set me right.
Your Account of Mr. Blackstone's Lectures4 is entirely new to me, but I am greatly pleased with it. The Embellishments of historical and critical Learning, as well as the alluring Ornaments of Language, (too much neglected by Law-writers) would undoubtedly render much more agreable the Study of the Laws of England, in their present System, too abstracted and dry. I could wish Mr. Blackstone, or some other Friend to this invaluable Branch of Knowledge, would undertake to abridge the Reports, that we might not be forced to throw away so much of our Time upon needless Repetitions.
You refer me to Hawkins5 for an Answer to my Question touching Survivorship where a power to sell is devised. I had before consulted Co. Lit., Hawk.6 and Wood,7 who all agree the Law to be the same, but I am not satisfyed. At common Law, it seems, if one Executor refused to sell, the others could not, but this appearing too rigorous and militating with an established Rule, (viz) that in the Construction of Wills the Testator's Intent is to be followed; the Statute of 21. H.8, ch. 4. was made, by which it is enacted, that where one or more refuseth yet the Residue may sell; but no Provision is made by it where one Executor dies, tho it seems to me there is the same Reason for abating the Rigour of the common Law in this Case as in the former; and ubi eadem ratio, ibi idem jus, is a favourite Maxim which I am always pleased to find true in Practice as it undoubtedly is in Theory; and whenever the Law appears to rest on any other Foundation than that of Reason, I find it difficult to retain that Veneration which I am always desirous to preserve in my Mind for the former.
And by the way, I would ask, whether this must not sometimes, if not often, be the Case, while the latest Resolution is Law? But not to ramble, Hawkins in his Abridgment (page 170.) tells us that by a favourable Construction of the (above-mentioned) Statute, where Land is devised to Executors to be sold, and some refuse, yet the others may sell, tho' this is not within the Letter of the Statute, which provides only in Cases where a bare power to sell is devised; but the reason is the same. Whether it would be a Construction of the Statute, too liberal, to extend it to the enabling the Survivors to sell where one Executor dies, I will not take upon me to say; but it seems to me this Construction would not be more forced than Hawkins's; (for the 30Statute provides only in Cases where a bare Trust is devised, and he extends it to the Case where a Trust coupled with an Interest is devised; which two Cases are, I think, as different as these two, where an Executor refuseth to sell, and where an Executor dies and therefore can't sell). If you see any essential Difference you will communicate it. Perhaps you may meet with some Statute in Point which may easily have escaped my Notice. I mentioned the Case one Day to several of my Superiours in the Law, who all seemd to think there was some such Statute, but could not recollect it.
To your Question, what Rule the Superiour Court go by in computing the Degrees of Kindred among Collaterals? I am at a Loss what to answer. The Case you put when I saw you last (which, if my Memory serve's me, was, where a Child died intestate leaving a Father and Brother, the Court adjudged his Estate to the Father) seems primâ Facie, not properly determinable by any Rules for computing the Degrees of Kindred among Collaterals, the Father being in the right Line ascending from the Son, and not in the Collateral Line. But this is a sudden Thought and it is quite supposeable I may be wrong. However, Wood in his Inst. Co. Law.8 (page 354.) says, if a Child dies intestate and unmarried, the Father surviving has the Childs whole Estate at this Day: and cites 1. Williams 48.9 I have not Williams by me; but this Resolution seems to be upon a Clause in the Statute of 1. Ja.2. ch. 17. so that the Superiour Court, I imagine, have determined agreable to the Practice of the Courts in England. Perhaps I have misapprehended your Difficulty; if I have, pray state the Case more fully in your next.
If you should think me deficient in the Number of my Letters I believe you will readily allow that I make ample amends in the Size, and I shall own your Patience is great if it will hold, while, to the Exorbitancy of this in particular I add that, I am your sincere Friend,

Cramped study spaces drive students from regular haunts
by Noah Nash
Photo by Noah Nash
For the next couple years, campus may feel unfamiliar for Kenyon students. It will be the first time since the Gordon Keith Chalmers Library was completed in 1962 that the College will not have a main library building.
With demolition of the Olin and Chalmers Memorial Library expected to begin in October to create space for the Kenyon Commons Library project, the College installed four new modular unit late in the 2018 spring semester in order to replace Olin and Chalmers. Three of them, Library Buildings A, B and C, were placed on Ransom Lawn. The fourth modular unit was installed between Norton Residence Hall and Watson Residence Hall.
While the modular units will fulfill some of the functions of Olin and Chalmers, they will not fully replicate the role that the library filled as a study space. According to Ronald Griggs, the vice president for library and information services, the College will have the same number of 'study seats' that it had prior to the closure of Olin and Chalmers once the construction of the study spaces in the village are complete before the spring semester. Currently, the College is about 100 seats short of matching that total. According to Griggs, study spaces usually do not crowd up until late in the semester, so the current shortage likely will not matter.
According to the description of the Kenyon Commons Library Project on the Kenyon website, nearly 1,700 people would go into Olin and Chalmers on an average day during the 2016 fall semester. In order to create additional study space, the College moved extra chairs and tables into Ascension Hall.
Sixty-eight new seats were put into Philomathesian and 37 into Nu Pi Kappa, the central rooms in Ascension. Thirty-five were added into Gund Commons, and the Gund Residence Hall Lounge was transformed into a study space with 36 new seats available to anyone.
Grant Carr '19 believes that the modular units are too small to fill the role of the library in providing study spaces. "I think we'll see a rush to get seats in Peirce and Ascension, as well as Wiggins [Wiggin Street Coffee]," Carr said. After frequently using the library as a study space in his previous years on campus, Carr finds that the modular units are not nearly as desirable of a location to get work done.
Carr, a math major, also believes that some majors will be impacted more by the lack of a library than others. According to Carr, math majors have spaces in the Science Quad reserved only for them. Not every major comes with these private spaces.
Director of Student Accessibility and Support Services Erin Salva believes that the next two years will be a great chance for students to find new, previously unused study spaces.
"The Cottages are a great place for students to study," Salva said. "Sam Mather also has great breakout rooms, rooms that are like study carrels for two people. There are plenty of study spaces all over campus that people might not be familiar with."
Study spaces with limited hours in the past will now be more flexible with time. Thomas Hall will now stay open past 9 p.m. to accommodate students who study there after the dining hall closes according to Griggs. Additionally, the modular unit north of Norton Hall will open at 6 a.m. in order to provide a study space for early risers.
Salva also thinks shuttling into Mount Vernon to study at the Wright Center or the Mount Vernon library would make sense for students.
"Utilizing downtown Mount Vernon could be helpful — there are a lot of really cool places there. I think the area is incredible and it isn't that hard to get to," Salva said.
Preview: In "Gotta Get Down to It," the message rings loud

Home News Nordic struggle brings NetEnt declining revenues
Nordic struggle brings NetEnt declining revenues
Casino content developer NetEnt has aligned a 2.8 per cent drop in first quarter revenues due to the Nordic markets, and Sweden in particular, which "accounted for almost the entire slowdown".
The company, which also secured significant US moves after obtaining the green light to deliver games in Pennsylvania, securing a permanent New Jersey licence and signing a customer agreement with Parx Casino in the former, saw its Q1 revenues come in at SEK 418m (£344.1m), contrasted to SEK 430m (£354m) the previous year.
Stressing that investments in new games, live casino and new functionality for customers and players places the company in a "good position to defend and, longer-term, increase our market shares," EBITDA for the January to March period reached SEK 196m (£161.3m) from SEK 182m (£149.8m).
Signing eight new customer agreements during the quarter, as compared to six, operating profit also saw a 5.9 per cent dip to SEK 126m (£103.7m) compared to SEK 134m (£110.3m) compared to 2018.
Commenting on the performance, Therese Hillman, group CEO of NetEnt, commented on the organisations Nordic performance, as well as taking a closer look at Sweden: "In the first quarter, NetEnt's total revenues decreased by 2.8 percent (-7 per cent in euro) compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
"The Nordic countries accounted for almost the entire slowdown, mainly due to lower volumes in Sweden as the new regulation was introduced at the start of the year. The new rules have impacted our customers and players to an extent that we had not foreseen, and the combined effect of fewer players and lower average revenue per user has led to a weak start on the new regulated market.
"As expected, the new gaming tax lowered our revenues by about 2 per cent in the period. Around 50 percent of total revenues came from locally regulated markets, and excluding Sweden, our revenues in these markets grew by about five percent in the quarter.
"This occurred despite a backdrop of some market weakness in Italy, caused by changes in regulation regarding marketing and gaming taxes. In the second quarter, we are set to launch our games with the Finnish state-controlled operator Veikkaus, and to distribute more games to Norsk Tipping in Norway."
Before giving a brief US insight: "In the US, we see continuing strong growth in New Jersey, a market that still has much lower online penetration than the Nordic markets and hence the potential to grow for many years to come. For Pennsylvania, the latest estimate is that the market will open in July."
Furthermore, NetEnt has also vowed to stick to its previous plan of new game releases during 2019, as it was revealed that Scudamore's Super Stakes, which debuted in March, has been one of its most successful new titles released in the UK: "The new organisation is in place since the start of the year, and we keep working to improve the efficiency and speed of our product development.
"The plan to release 30 – 35 new games this year remains and we continue to develop our new initiatives within affiliate marketing and social casino, which supports our strategy to move closer to the players and should generate new revenues over time."

First hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on Irish roads by 2023
By Padraic Deane On October 4, 2019
According to a new report, hydrogen cars, buses and trucks can become a reality by 2023. It declares that this would have the potential for over 35,000 hydrogen vehicles on our roads within a decade. It calculates that this would remove approximately 300,000 tonnes of CO2 from our atmosphere every year.
These are among the findings of the first ever published research into the potential for hydrogen to help solve Ireland's green house gas emissions from transport. The authors claim that this report provides the Irish Government with a potential roadmap to assist the decarbonisation of Irish transport.
Transport accounts for approximately 20 per cent of Ireland's total greenhouse gasses and is by far the largest source of energy-related CO2 emissions in Ireland. In 2017 it was responsible for 39 per cent, and it is also the sector where CO2 emissions are growing the fastest.
Hydrogen is a very low carbon fuel and will be produced locally in Ireland. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles consume hydrogen as a fuel to produce electrical power for the vehicle, with water vapour the only by-product.
They can complement battery electric vehicles as they offer greater range and faster refuelling, can be used at short notice, and are particularly suitable for heavy passenger and goods vehicles.
A group called Hydrogen Mobility Ireland (HMI) has formed to address bringing hydrogen transport to Ireland, which consists of leading transport and energy companies along with policy stakeholders and representatives of other hydrogen initiatives.
They have set forward the business case and rationale for both the private sector and Government to support the provision of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
The report found that Ireland should follow the lead of countries like China, US and Japan who have committed to each having in the region of one million hydrogen fuel cell vehicles by 2030.
HMI says that among the findings was agreement that the Government should apply similar incentives to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as they do to battery electric vehicles currently.
Hydrogen vehicles will be cost-competitive with conventional fuel vehicles by mid next decade. Buses, vans and taxis could be deployed as the catalyst for market establishment.
The report also recommended building clusters of refuelling stations to give early adopters confidence
It suggests that a first deployment project involving two hydrogen production sources and three refuelling stations are presented. This can be done at a cost of €34 million, and will require €14m of funding from Government.
By 2030, a network of 76 stations would ensure that 50 per cent of the population of the island would live in a town with a hydrogen refuelling station as well as providing adequate coverage of major roads, while a network of 27 electrolysers collocated with renewable generators (mostly wind farms) would supply the hydrogen fuel
In a positive adoption scenario this will lead to a national fuel call fleet of 2,000 HGVs, 880 bus/coaches, 6,800 vans and 29,000 cars by 2030.
Hydrogen could abate 300,000 tonnes CO2 annually (2% of transport emissions) with the potential for this to significantly increase in the 2030s. The cost of this abatement would be between €75-100/tonne.
