Indiana Jones has been denied tenure at Marshall College.
You gotta publish or else.
it was a political rail-road. seems his work with the creation science "Discovery Institute" and publications in other "fundamentalist/conservative journals" was a bit too much for the board to take. also, he was characterized as a "religious nut"– always on about the ark of the covenant, the holy grail, and his recent obsession "st. peter's keys" which he claims "open the kingdom of God." Naturally, his research lead him to the brothels of Beirut where the Fulbright grant committee expressed alarm with his appropriation of funds. his constant run-ins with neo-nazis and hezbollah demonstrate that this week's announcement of "denial of tenure" are probably the least of Dr. Jone's concerns. He was shaken from a methadone-induced slumber in Trenton, NJ on Wednesday only to deny comment and mumble something about Karl Rove, Ted Haggart, and the IHOP grand slam breakfast menu. the announcement this week comes on the heels of terrible month of October when campus police were notified that Dr. Jones kept a loaded Luger in his briefcase – a blantant infraction of university policy concerning fire-arms. Dr. Jones was permitted to keep his 12 foot bull-whip, but was indeed denied tenure. He has been in contact with Bob Jones University in South Carolina. No further details available at this time.

SANS SOUCI OFFICER'S CLUB
HOTEL SANS SOUCI
SOUTHPORT, QLD
Sans Souci Officers' Club, Southport - the sign on ground at left says "Officer's Convalescent Area"
The American Red Cross Sans Souci Officer's Club was located in the Hotel Sans Souci at Main Beach Parade, Main Beach, Southport. Mrs. H. Swope was the director of the American Red Cross Sans Souci Officer's Club in 1945. Some references incorrectly show the name as "San Souci".
Officers of the Special Intelligence Service based in Brisbane enjoyed their visits to the Sans Souci Officer's Club.
The area is now called Main Beach and is part of the city of the Gold Coast. The Hotel Sans Souci opened as a private hotel in 1938. It's owner was Mr. L.P. Quinn.
During a cyclone in 1951 the beach was washed away to within 4 metres of the hotel.
John Vances was an owner of the Hotel Sans Souci after WW2. He remodelled the hotel in 1956. Tom Perrin was the manager of the hotel at that time. The hotel was later transformed into the Glen Pacific Private Hospital.
In about 1981/82 it was demolished and the "Golden Sands on the Beach" apartments at 3575 Main Beach Parade, Main Beach were built on the same spot.

Electrical Engineering Seminar: Energy Efficient Nanoscale CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converters
Time: Wed May 3, 2017, 1:00PM - 2:00PM
Location: 258 Fitzpatrick Hall
Trond Ytterdal
Norwegian University of Science
and Technology (NTNU)
Energy efficiency plays an important role in the design of high performance analog and mixed-signal CMOS circuits such as, for example, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In high accuracy ADCs, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain energy efficiency as CMOS technology is scaled to nanometer dimensions. In this talk important challenges often faced by analog designers working with nanoscale CMOS technologies are discussed and measures for mitigating some of the scaling effects are presented and verified in terms of measured performance of fabricated prototypes.
Trond Ytterdal received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1990 and 1995, respectively. He was employed as a research associate at the University of Virginia (1995-1996) and as a research scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York (1996-1997). From 1997 to 2001 he worked as an ASIC designer at Nordic Semiconductor in Trondheim, Norway. Since 2001 he has been on the faculty of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), where he is a Professor at the Department of Electronic Systems. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 papers and is a co-developer of the circuit simulator AIM-Spice. His current research interests include: Design of analog integrated circuits, behavioral modeling and simulation of mixed-signal systems, modeling of nanoscale transistors and novel device structures. Prof. Ytterdal is a member of The Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences and a Senior Member of IEEE.
This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Electrical Engineering at Notre Dame.

On Sept. 24–25, the Center for K–12 Assessment & Performance Management at ETS convened more than 250 science and assessment experts in Washington, D.C., to discuss the measurement challenges and opportunities posed by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and comparable, complex assessment expectations in science and engineering. NSTA Executive Director David Evans participated in the event and joined a panel discussion addressing implications of NGSS related to policy and practice.

On Sept. 19, Delaware became the seventh state to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards, and leading business executives from key firms such as Intel, Cisco, and ExxonMobil Foundation met to urge colleagues to "take up the fight to defend Common Core State Standards [CCSS]." They outlined plans to promote the CCSS through a number of strategies, which include national advertising and outreach campaigns to parents and company employees.

Many educators are familiar with the idea of backward design in curriculum planning. As educators begin thinking of how to implement the Next Generation Science Standards, the architecture of the standards leads to questions about how to start. With NGSS, what to focus on depends in part on whether you are planning assessment or instruction.
The performance expectations provide direction to assessment developers of what students should be able to do at the end of instruction. They are not designed to describe what students are doing during instruction. Furthermore, for students to be able to successfully achieve a particular performance expectation, they will need to engage in several different practices to develop their understanding of a disciplinary core idea.
While NGSS based assessments of students will check their ability to develop a model, instruction should not be so limited. For students to learn what they need to know about the seasons, they will need to engage in multiple practices, not just the practice of developing and using models. They will most likely need to ask questions, analyze data, construct explanation, etc.
That said, it is important that instruction subscribe to the vision behind the standard that students engage in scientific and engineering practices to develop and understanding of disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts.
NSTA is developing a portal for teachers to share resources and part of the site will be curated. In thinking through how this work will be done, we have been using the general rule that at a minimum, for a resource to be considered aligned to NGSS, it must address at least one disciplinary core idea AND one scientific and engineering practice. However, that practice does not need to be the practice that is used in the performance expectation.
If a resource can't be used to help students engage in a practice, it is hard for me to see how it could be considered aligned to NGSS. Keep in mind that the overall list of practices is fairly wide-ranging.
So when planning instruction around NGSS pay attention to the Practices, Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts in the Foundation box.

The California State Board of Education unanimously adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) this week, making it the sixth state to do so. The decision not only represents a move forward for evidence-based science instruction but also highlights the control and flexibility individual states have in terms of the NGSS.
The NGSS was developed by states and was designed for states. Despite erroneous claims that NGSS (and the Common Core) are unfair mandates from the federal government. California was one of twenty-six states that oversaw the development of NGSS and they made decisions about its structure.
These lead states collectively made decisions about the overall scope and structure of the standards. For example, they agreed that while the standards should specify what students must learn each year in the elementary grades, states should have flexibility in what topics are studied each year in middle school and high school.
Some educators believe that students are best served when they study some life science, some Earth science, and some physical science each year. Such an approach allows simpler ideas in each discipline to be studied in earlier grades and more complex ideas in each discipline to be studied in later grades. Topics can be sequenced to build upon and one another over several grades. In addition, this approach presents students with the full variety of science every year.
Others believe that students are best served when they focus on a particular topic every year. as this allows students to see the coherence of ideas within that discipline. In addition, since teachers often have expertise in one discipline but not others, this approach makes it more likely that students are taught by someone with a deep conceptual understanding of the topic.
My point here isn't about which of these approaches is best; both have their merits. Instead, I want to point out that the developers of NGSS recognized that these decisions are better left to the states. Appendix K of the standards provides model course maps for either of these configurations. More important, the appendix walks through the process of how the NGSS writers developed the model course maps so that states would have guidance about how to do the process themselves.
What does this have to do with California? The board deferred until November on deciding the sequencing of science topics in middle school. Currently in California, the sixth grade curriculum focuses on Earth science, the seventh grade curriculum focuses on life science, and eighth grade curriculum focuses on physical science. A panel of experts in the state recommended an integrated approach where students in each grade would study some of each discipline.
To reiterate the point: When a state chooses to adopt NGSS, THE STATE IS MAKING A CHOICE. NO ONE IS MAKING THE STATE DO ANYTHING.
Furthermore, when the state chooses to adopt NGSS, there are many other choices that must be made. One of these is to choose how courses will be structured in middle school. But there are other choices as well about assessments, professional development, and curriculum materials.
Choosing NGSS is just the first step in a process that can lead better instruction for all students.
So I congratulate California for choosing to adopt NGSS, and I am happy for the students in California because regardless of whether they are taught only one science discipline each year of middle school or a blend of several disciplines each year, they will now have the opportunity to study science more deeply with these standards.
I encourage other states to make the same choice for the benefit of their children.
Posted September 5, 2013 by Cindy Workosky & filed under Blog.
On September 4, California became the 6th state to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards after a unanimous vote by the State Board of Education. A timeline and plan for implementation will be decided in the coming months. The State Board did not make a decision about middle school standards and if they should be taught by discipline–earth science in 6th grade, life science in 7th grade, and physical science in 8th grade–or revamped into new integrated science courses.

Back again from its debut last year at Milan Design Week's Fuorisalone, Bvlgari takes over a 1000-square-metre space in the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens, displaying two installations that explore the connection between design, science and art.
With its display of interactive installation at the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens, Bvlgari partnered with visionary Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno. Known best for his large-scale, interactive installations and floating sculptures, the contemporary artist presents 'Weaving The Cosmos' at its first installation at the spectacular Ulrico Hoepli Municipal Planetarium.
In the installation, the small universes woven by different spider species are intertwined,suggesting the ability both humans and non-humans share to mould shapes and form universes. For Bvlgari, this sensitivity for composition and materials is an expression of intuition and creative genius.
The second, located in the gardens surrounding the Planetarium, immerses visitors in the evolution of B.zero. This iconic design of the Italian luxury brand is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year with its installation at Milan Design Week. Created by world renowned sculptor Anish Kapoor and architect Zaha Hadid, Bvlgari also unveiled its 20th anniversary edition of the rose gold jewellery piece now comes with an inner core of ceramic in either black or white, and can be worn as a ring or a pendant.
The installation showcase Bvlgari's enduring passion for reinvention with a set of images on the walls represents the ring and the many forms it evokes. At the heart of the journey through this section, a set of mirrors reflects infinite expressions of the ring's luminous elements, offering visitors an immersive experience.
Selected guests and international and local media attended the Vernissage, including artist Tomás Saraceno and Bvlgari's Creative Director Lucia Silvestri.
For all art and fashion lovers, Bvlgari will present a program of lectures and transversal conversations on science, art and design from Tuesday 9th to Sunday 14th April.The Auditorium within the Bvlgari installation is a living and socializing environment, where the dynamic spirit of Design Week converges through a series of events.
Among the most anticipated events, a jam session between Tomás Saraceno's spiders/webs and the music performer Silvia Bolognesi on April 9th will offer a completely new way to experience the Planetarium.

It was near this spot on a fire-break road at the former Fort McClellan that GP Express Flight 861 crashed on June 8, 1992.
Dennis Lachut, a survivor of the 1992 GP Express plane crash in Anniston says, 'I have a lot of issues, PTSD issues' related to the crash. (Special to The Star)
Phillip Tutor: A quest to tell Flight 861's story
By Phillip Tutor, Commentary Editor, ptutor@annistonstar.com
Phillip Tutor
I've searched for Dennis Lachut for several years. He became my journalistic obsession. I knew he was a soldier, he'd been stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., he was married and he'd survived a commuter plane crash in Anniston back in the summer of 1992.
THE SIX LIVES OF FLIGHT 861
PART 1: THE SURVIVORS
PART 2: THE DECEASED
PART 3: FIRST RESPONDERS
Needle, meet haystack.
I didn't know if he was still alive, or where he lived, or if he was still married, or if he was still in the service, or — here's the biggest unknown — if he'd talk to me if I found him. I was a sports writer at The Star when GP Express Flight 861 slammed into a fog-shrouded mountain on the southern tip of the former Fort McClellan 26 years ago, so I wasn't involved in the newspaper's coverage of that awful day. But I knew Lachut had a story. It needed to be told, if he'd agree, and I wanted to tell it. I just had to find him.
That's the genesis of "The Six Lives of Flight 861," whose first installment is in Wednesday's Star and on our website at www.annistonstar.com/Flight861. It's not a story about aviation. It's a story about families in states from Wisconsin to Florida who will forever be affected by a commuter flight crash in southern Calhoun County. How they've dealt with loss and reclaimed a sense of normality is at the heart of this project.
Everything hinged on finding Lachut. He was one of Flight 861's three survivors and, most important, he provided the story's central moment when he descended roughly two miles down the mountain and emerged in front of an off-duty paramedic's truck on Choccolocco Road, triggering the rescue effort up in the McClellan woods.
I searched for years, once or twice a month, whenever I had the time. No one in Calhoun County knew him, from what I could tell. I Googled his name. I scanned newspapers in Washington state for his name. I tried to mine rosters from Fort Lewis or Lachut's Army unit, though that was a colossal waste of time. I used Census records and genealogy websites, hoping to track his whereabouts and assuming a family member could tell me if he was alive or give me his phone number. Getting desperate, I even entered his name into findagrave.com. That search came back empty, too.
This January, two email addresses popped up in another internet search. They were linked to someone who shared Lachut's name and seemed to be in his age range. I sent the same email to both addresses, the journalistic equivalent to fishing without bait but hoping a fish bites nonetheless.
It worked. Dennis Lachut, now 55, was alive and lived in Virginia. And he agreed to an interview.
"The Six Lives of Flight 861" isn't Lachut's story alone, though. There were two additional survivors, the co-pilot and another passenger; the families of the three people who died in the crash; and the Calhoun County first-responders who scurried up the McClellan hillside in a driving rainstorm to reach the site. Lachut's response to an email kick-started a months-long quest to find more than 10 people in 12 states. Odds were that a few wouldn't want to discuss how June 8, 1992, affected them.
I was fortunate. Only a handful of people told me no.
Over the course of several weeks, I found contact info — home and work addresses, email addresses, phone numbers — for almost everyone on my list. I mailed more than 40 letters. One went to a deceased passenger's husband in Wisconsin. Others went to family members of a Flight 861 casualty who were scattered in several Deep South states. An email to Georgia found a survivor in Lawrenceville. A Facebook search turned up a brother of the deceased pilot. And here's the longest shot that worked, kind of: On www.newspapers.com, a fantastic website that archives newspaper pages, I noticed someone with a familiar name had clipped a 1992 story from The Star about the crash, so I messaged her. She politely answered. It turned out that she was the daughter of one of the dead.
Eventually, she declined to speak with me about her father.
Which is OK. That's her prerogative. It also speaks to the emotional toll of this series, which is how, and why, this project began with an email and a hope. Storytellers deeply understand that some of the people they seek won't, or simply can't, respond. In June 1992 at McClellan, a Florida child lost her father, a military family in Germany lost their mother and wife, a Southern family lost their brother, an Iowa family lost their son, an Iowa family living in Alabama lost their husband and dad. The survivors carried an entirely different collection of emotions, fear and recovery and biblical thanks. They are indelibly linked to Anniston, to a scarred McClellan hillside the earth has since reclaimed.

Genes Lecoanet Hemant Exhibits 'Another Look' Fashion and Art Installation
The house of Lecoanet Hemant was established in 1981, by Didier Lecoanet and Hemant Sagar. The label was an organic reflection of their design philosophy. It was the coming together of their heritage, lived experiences and a common vision for authenticity – an extension of their partnership that has only grown with time. Hemant and Didier's distinctly different backgrounds gave way to a unique voice in the hallowed lanes of haute couture. A refreshing perspective – where Eastern influences married traditional Western codes.
Art installation featuring the key pieces from the collection inspired by artists Yayoi Kusama and Jean Michael Basquiat along with a few paintings and photography by designer Didier Lecoant
While the designers moved from haute couture to ready-to-wear, the inspirations remained rooted in art and culture. Genes is a modern story of expression, evolved from that Parisian heritage and pillared by the codes of couture craftsmanship. It embodies the spirit of its people, of Lecoanet Hemant. For Fall 22, Genes envisaged a season of colour, vivacity and freedom. Taking cues from neo-expressionist and contemporary artists Yayoi Kusama and Jean Michel Basquiat, PARIS dot DELHI celebrates the essence of individuality and creative expression. The clothes are a nod to that unique graphic eccentricity that illustrates the brand's journey from Paris to Delhi. The collection is creatively helmed by Didier who has now taken on the role of artistic director. His own practice of art has influenced the course of this collection. So it only felt organic to celebrate PARIS dot DELHI with Didier's artworks.
Didier grew up in Chaumont in Eastern France. His family of interior decorators and engineering designers provided an environment that encouraged an artistic pursuit. He initially studied fine arts and was drawn to the classical style of paintings. Busts and renaissance-esque landscapes were recurring themes. Didier started his career in advertising but it did not take him long to realize that his heart lied in dressmaking, leading him to study the art of couture in Paris. While fashion remained a central force professionally, making art solely for the spirit had its phases. He would return to paintings at different junctions in his life, each time with its own distinct fervor.
The exhibit brings to light eight of Didier's most recent works. After a long hiatus, he created this series titled Another Look, a narrative of mix-media paintings to configure the present tense, the essence of time. To get a sharper grasp of origination, growth and existence – all viewed from a celestial lens. The works hold a very personal and sentimental value; they are an homage to Didier's beloved niece who passed away at a very young age.
The proceeds from the sale will go to Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya in Karnataka, India – an institution both Didier and Hemant have long been associated with. It is "a school with a difference" that empowers, supports, and encourages children from socially marginalized and economically disadvantaged backgrounds to realize their full potential and attain a better life. This is done through an intensive and comprehensive educational program and through the performing arts which are undertaken in a peaceful rural residential setting.
The exhibition was held at The Quorum, Mumbai. The city of dreams is also the city of diverse cultures and voices celebrating art. The Genes flagship store at Phoenix, Palladium, is a confluence of Parisian heritage and youthful spontaneity – a true representation of the Lecoanet Hemant universe, where clothes are a labor of love and people at the core of it all.

Petrogenesis and ^(230)Th-^(238)U disequilibrium at Mt. Shasta, California, and in the Cascades
Newman, Sally and Macdougall, J. Douglas and Finkel, Robert C. (1986) Petrogenesis and ^(230)Th-^(238)U disequilibrium at Mt. Shasta, California, and in the Cascades. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 93 (2). pp. 195-206. ISSN 0010-7999. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20181016-153902608
Petrogenesis at Mt. Shasta is dominated by mixing of magmas and/or assimilation of wall rock, as is shown by petrographic, major and trace element chemistry, and ^(238)U-^(230)Th disequilibrium data. At least three end- members are involved in these mixing processes. Lavas of very young Cascades lavas, from Mt. Garibaldi in the north to Lassen Peak in the south, are characterized by a large range of thorium isotopic ratios, although series of samples from single volcanoes are characterized by approximately constant (^(230)Th/^(232)Th). There is a monotonic decrease in this ratio from Crater Lake south through Lassen Peak, perhaps reflecting increasing thickness of the underlying crust. Th/U fractionation in Cascades lavas, as evidenced by (^(230)Th/^(238)U) ≥ 1, is in the opposite sense to that in most island arc lavas. This trend suggests that fluid transport, which is thought to produce uranium enrichment in island arc, is lacking or somehow modified in the petrogenesis of the Cascades lavas.

Q: Connection two-grid, multigrid and finite elements In some literature for the two grid method the finite element method is given as an introduction to the topic.
But why is it done that way and where is the connection between these methods?
The finite element method shows how to solve a PDE using a system of linear equations.
The two grid method is a method for solving a linear system.
Is it just that both methods together (first finite elements, then two grid) solve a PDE? Is there  a greater connection?

Music in the Air is Sugary Sweet!
The Encores! Music in the Air is sweet, but fortunately, thanks to very funny turns by Douglas Sills and Kristin Chenoweth I didn't sugar overdose. It's an old show - it first opened on November 8, 1932 and was briefly revived in 1950. This was the invited dress so there were a few industry people there as well as school groups, members and sponsors. We entered through the stage door, which was a little thrill for me. We didn't notice until intermission that we were sitting across the aisle from John Kander!
The first and last scenes were a bit excrusiatingly old fashioned and silly for me, but every moment that Sills and Chenoweth were on stage was a joy. It was true musical comedy. Music in the Air, by Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern, is considered operetta but came in an era of American theatrical evolution. I have never been much of the Chenoweth antics, but I very much enjoyed her here. She was off-book and her delivery and timing was on spot. Her performance seemed effortless and she was in great voice. She and Sills were also very funny together. He's a strapping, handsome baritone and paired with her miniscule stature, they could have just stood there and gotten the laugh. It was fun to see Marni Nixon back on stage and she sang a very sweet song. Sierra Boggus and Ryan Silverman were sweet as the young lovers, with voices perfect for this syrup. I loved seeing David Schramm too in the non-singing role of the music publisher.
As far as Encores! productions go, this is no No, No, Nanette or Follies, but it was a fun and warm way to pass the very cold evening in New York City. Music in the Air opens tonight and runs through February 8th.

The Council is expected to renew the mandate of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which is due to expire on 15 February.
China has hinted at some reluctance to support renewal, however, because of recent complications over Haiti's relations with Taiwan. But at press time, China and Haiti were informally discussing ways to defuse tensions.
Key Recent Developments
The Secretary-General issued his latest report on MINUSTAH on 19 December. The report noted that the completion of the electoral process was "largely successful", and that the overall security situation remained relatively stable, although still somewhat volatile. Indeed, on 22 December, when UN forces and the Haitian police launched a joint operation aimed at fighting gangs in Cité Soleil, a shantytown in Port-au-Prince, at least nine civilians were killed.
The Secretary-General's report also noted progress in the reform of rule of law structures. However, progress in disarmament remained limited.
The Secretary-General recommended a 12-month extension of the mission, maintaining the same level of troops and police units.
Council members received a briefing by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General Edmont Mulet on 29 January and during consultations it appeared that there was broad support for the Secretary-General's recommendations.
More detailed developments and background are contained in our January 2007 Forecast Report.
The Council has the following options:
Accommodate China's likely demand that renewal be for six rather than 12 months, or reach a compromise, such as a renewal of nine months and a reduction in troop levels.
If the situation between Haiti and China is not resolved, adopt a short-term technical rollover of the mission coupled with an informal request that the Secretary-General use his good offices to facilitate a solution.
Non-renewal is a remote possibility. The Group of Friends of Haiti (comprising Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Peru and the US) are extremely reluctant to envisage this alternative. They remain hopeful that a solution will be found and in that spirit have encouraged Peru to initiate discussion amongst Council experts on a draft resolution. This process commenced on 29 January.
The main issue is whether Haiti and China can reach an understanding that will facilitate the renewal of MINUSTAH.
In preparing a draft resolution, the Group of Friends is focussing on the following issues:
The duration of the mandate renewal. While the Group of Friends supports the recommendations of the Secretary-General for a 12-month renewal, it will have to take into account the Chinese position that a six-month renewal is preferable. (China's position seems to be driven by the perception that Haiti has given active support to Taiwan's endeavours to become a member of the UN.)
Troop levels. The issue is whether these should stay at present authorised levels, or whether they should be reduced, perhaps to the earlier pre-election levels. Although the election process has now been completed, it is argued that the presence of extra troops in Haiti acts as a preventive measure against further destabilisation of the country. A related issue is that, although the current maximum authorised strength is up to 7,500 military personnel and 1,897 police, this level has never been reached.
Increased efficiency may be seen as a reason to adjust some of MINUSTAH's activities. Although the mandate would remain the same, the Council may want to send a signal that additional efforts have to be made in some fields (such as disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration, justice sector reform, and the work of the Provisional Electoral Council).
Council Dynamics
China argues that a downsizing of MINUSTAH's troop level and adjustments of its composition are necessary. It also favours a six-month renewal. China would like to see MINUSTAH more involved in peacebuilding activities and is considering a request for Haiti to be added to the agenda of the Peacebuilding Commission.
China also seems to resent Haiti's recent public statements on Taiwan and has asked for a formal apology coupled with a lower profile on this issue as a condition for supporting MINUSTAH's mandate. While China has made its position clear, Haiti's response to China's request remains unclear at this time.
The Group of Friends strongly supports the recommendations of the Secretary-General. But it also seems ready to be flexible to accommodate China, as long as it does not affect the work of MINUSTAH too negatively. Some of its members, individually, appear willing to provide assistance in attempting to resolve the current tensions between China and Haiti.
A meeting of most members of the Core Group convened by US Under Secretary for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns is scheduled on 1 February in Washington as a follow-up of a similar meeting that took place on the margins of the General Assembly in September 2006. The aim will be to discuss the mandate renewal, the security situation and how to improve coordination between donors. The Core Group is composed of the leading countries, troop-contributing countries, donors and regional organisations.
Assuming that the issues raised by China can be resolved, the positions of the elected members of the Council are not expected to diverge from the Group of Friends.

A rare smartphone gamer doesn't get heavily excited hearing about the release of Game Insight's new production. However, only few people aware that a wide known company famous for its beautiful android games was established only six years ago.
Much has been done during this time. Apart from else, the success of company's promotion required high-quality advertising – a job, which was partly done by GBP agency's hands. The creation of My Country: 2020 trailer is a perfect example of such work.
The trailer was made as a joint product of GBP agency and InnoWate. The main task was to finish the project within the shortest possible time. As a result, the job was finished in ten days. During that time GBP agency's specialists were "drawing" the graphics as well as editing the final product. It is worth mentioning, that the game itself became a hit and was downloaded several million times.

The following op-ed appeared in the Burlington Free Press on Sunday, November 29, 2015.
The recent tragic attacks by terrorists in Paris and other places have created a sense of anxiety not only in Europe, which is dealing with tens of thousands of refugees from the Middle East, but among us Americans halfway around the world as well. This anxiety has unfortunately prompted a reaction by many prominent leaders and by a considerable segment of the public to demand that we close our doors to those refugees for fear that a terrorist will be among those we might admit.
I hope that cooler heads will prevail and that we will reject such xenophobic attitudes. Failure to do so will make the refugees fleeing from ISIS violence double victims of the terrorists. Our humanity calls on us to put ourselves in the shoes of families who want nothing more than to find safety and shelter for their children just as we ourselves would do if faced with the same situation. Turning our backs on them would make us complicit in their victimization. For this reason I applaud President Obama, Secretary Kerry, our Congressional delegation and Governor Shumlin for doing our part in offering sanctuary.
Of course U.S. authorities will have to carefully vet the candidates for asylum, and I am convinced that they will be able to do so. According to the U.S. State Department Reception and Placement overview (http://www.state.gov/j/prm/ra/receptionplacement/index.htm), the process involves the United Nations, the United States, and local agencies. For each refugee the UN review takes one to 18 months to complete, including registration, comparison of personal information to other ID information, prioritization based on special circumstances such as torture victims, and qualification and determination for country placement. If UNHCR thinks the US is good fit, they send all the paperwork to US officials.
Once the US receives the paperwork, it can take up to another two years to process. Homeland Security does security checks and interviews refugees overseas, health screenings are conducted, and additional high-level security checks are made against all US law-enforcement databases. If approved, the US passes the case along to a local non-governmental resettlement agency to facilitate entry.
In the Placement and Resettlement process 9 domestic resettlement agencies meet and review biographic information and other case records from overseas Resettlement Support Centers weekly. These agencies match local communities (about 109 across the country) with specific resources to the incoming refugees. Communities must have interpreters, available housing, English classes, employment services, medical care, and schools that can accommodate the refugees. Refugees are met at the airport, taken to the provided housing, receive employment authorization, and are in touch with the Department of State's Reception and Placement Program for 3 months after arrival.
The Vermont Refugee Resettlement office, which receives 300-350 refugees annually, has seen families come in from all over the world – Bosnia, the Congo, Malaysia, India, Iraq, Somalia, and Nepal. Out of the approximately 300 refugees Vermont accepts each year, on average 200 of them have been employable adults. This has been consistent for the last 5 years. The center has an 80% placement rate for employment and works with numerous businesses in Chittenden County to train and employ refugees. Out of the center's 13 full time equivalent employees, 11 are former refugees. Information about the center can be found on Facebook: Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program/USCRI.
So, as we count our blessings in Thanksgiving for this wonderful land we've been blessed to live in, let us remember that there, but for the grace of God and circumstance of birth, are we, and welcome into our community these refugees who want to begin a new life in freedom and safety.


This is the third in the series of films made in Vietnam about the lives of the Buddha and his disciples. One of the really good things about the film is the way stories from the lives of the disciples are interwoven, which sustains interest on the one hand, and brings to the fore little known stories from the commentaries on the other.
In this episode we get the stories of Pur?a, who vowed to go to the barbarian lands and teach them Dharma; the clever youth Katyayana; Maudgallayana's conversion of a mean market woman, and Maha Kasyapa's preference in going to the poor for alms, to give them a chance for making merit.
Also we see the passing away of the Buddha's Father, and the quest for women's ordination by Mahapajapati, and the Buddha's gracious acceptance; and a story about Ananda and the girl who falls in love with him. The final story is about Angulimala, who is converted from his murderous ways.


Planned inspection of Licence Condition 11 and the Level 1 emergency exercise at the GE Healthcare Ltd licenced site at the Grove Centre, Amersham. This intervention formed part of the 2015/16 ONR DFW intervention programme.
A planned inspection of LC11 and an update on the licensee proposals for on-going storage of an intermediate level waste.
The outcome was judged to be adequate.
The licensee performed a level 1 demonstration exercise. The scenario was challenging and required the deployment of multiple teams to the incident plant. Although there were some minor learning points it was our judgement that the demonstration was a successful and adequate test of GEHC's implementation of its emergency arrangements.
The licensee provided an update on their work to develop a strategy for the on-going safe storage of an ILW waste stream, identifying the development work and packaging trials that were being undertaken. The proposals to perform in-active handling trials to verify techniques before moving to active materials were explained and we considered this to be a sensible approach. The need for the licensee to continue to be in contact with national waste strategy developers was highlighted.
We concluded that on the basis of this intervention the licensee adequately demonstrate their capability to deal with a level 1 emergency and we were content with the proposed development of on-going ILW waste storage.

So around 2 months ago, I was playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive when my computer suddenly died followed by the smell of strange burning. At first I thought I had a power cut followed by the realisation that everything else was still on… I then realised my power supply had blown up and with the anxiety of the possibility of a fried motherboard, I turned everything off. I used my Macbook for the next few weeks and I was finally able to order a new power supply.
Taking out the old power supply was a bit of a pain. Loads of adaptors and re-routed cables for cable management. You can't see in these images but the cable management was pretty good. I had spent an entire day maticulously routing cables and strapping them down.
Out with the old, in with the new. You can also see how large my GPU is, it only just fits in this case and has to partially sit in the HDD bays, so my choice of which PCI slot it sits in, is rather limited.
Clean and new PSU fitted. Great to have it cleaned and up and working again! This is my machine for video editing, so it's good to have it back! I decided not to both with great cable management until I get a new case in the future…. maybe.

With an increasing demand for SiC and GaN high power devices and high temperature electronics operating in extreme environments, traditional solder materials are reaching their limitations in performance. Compatible, high temperature materials are required for attachment of semiconductor die and passives to the thick film metallized substrate pads. In addition, there is a strong desire to eliminate high lead containing solders in Si power device packaging for use over conventional temperature ranges. Low temperature Ag sintering technology is a promising method for high performance lead-free die attachment. Due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity and high melting point, sintered Ag die attach has received much attention for assembly of power modules and for high temperature (300oC)applications. Previous work with Ag sintering has required pressure during the sintering process or been limited to small area die. In chapter 3, the pressureless sintering of micro-scale silver paste is examined for larger (8mm x 8mm) area die. Experimental combinations included: Si die metallization (Ag and Au); thick film substrate metallization (Au, Ag and PdAg); and sintering temperature. For Au metallization (die and/or substrate), the initial shear strength results were good with 8mm x 8mm die sintered at lower temperatures (200 °C). The shear strength was beyond the limit of the shear test machine (100 kg), corresponding to >15.3 MPa. However, after aging for 24 hours at 300oC, the shear strength dropped significantly. An SEM was used to characterize cross sections of as-built and aged sample. The decrease in die shear strength with high temperature sintering (250oC and 300oC) or high temperature aging is attributed to surface diffusion of Ag along the Au surface resulting in a dense Ag layer adjacent to the Au surface and a depletion layer within the die attach adjacent to the dense Ag layer. Shear failures occurred through the depleted region. For Ag metallization (die and substrate), no decrease in shear strength was observed with 300oC aging. Shear strength of 8x8cm2 dies was >100 kg ( >15.3 MPa) as-built. The shear strength remained >15.3MPa after 8000 hours of 300oC aging. The pressureless sintering process for large die (8 mm x 8 mm) and suitable metallization were demonstrated to provide high reliability die attach by using micro-size Ag sintering. The resulting die attach layer had approximately 30% porosity. In chapter 4, passive component (chip resistors) attachment with pressureless Ag sintering was explored. Due to termination geometry differences between resistors and dies, different processing procedures and parameters were developed. For PtAu terminated resistors, the mean shear force of as-built samples on thick film Ag metallized substrates was 90 N, but dropped to 18.6 N after 1500 hours at 300oC. Formation of a dense Ag layer near the PtAu resistor termination and a void region near the thick film metallization was seen in cross-sections after 1000 hours at 300oC For PdAg terminated resistors with a plated Ni/Au finish, the initial shear force results were low due to Ag diffusion along Au metallization surface. For PdAg terminated resistors with Ag thick film substrates, the initial shear force was approximately 60 N and remained in the range of 50-70 N during aging at 300oC for 1500 hours. A new thick film metallization (Au+Ag) was developed to enable the use of thick film Au interconnect metallization. In chapter 5, a low temperature pressure-assisted rapid sintering process was developed, which include a 150°C, one-minute pre-dry and a 300°C one-minute sintering process. The reduction in the sintering time allowed the use of a flip chip thermo-compression bonder for automated die attach instead of hydraulic hot press. The porosity was decreased from 30% to 15% with application of a low pressure (7.6 MPa) during a one minute sintering process. The shear strength for a 3 mm x 3 mm die was 70 MPa and the 8 mm x 8 mm die could not be sheared off due to a 100 kg shear module force limit. Both the Ag and Au metallization (die and substrate) were studied. Furthermore, a new substrate metallization combination was found that allows the use of Au thick film metallized substrates. High temperature (300oC) storage tests for up to 2000 hours aging were conducted and results were presented.

California • 2019 • episode "3/5" • The Americas with Simon Reeve
Simon travels the length of California. He climbs to the top of one of the world's tallest trees, and meets the fire crews tasked with tackling the ever-present danger of wildfires, a growing threat given the state's changing climate and chronic shortage of water. He also meets street doctors providing much-needed medical support to people living in extreme poverty and visits a city on the desert for Americans who have dropped out of the rat race entirely.
The Americas with Simon Reeve • 2019 • 5 episodes •
From Alaska to Canada
Simon Reeve begins his most ambitious journey yet - travelling the entire length of the Americas. In this first leg, Simon travels from Alaska, down through Canada to Vancouver.
2019 • Travel
From Montana to Colorado
In the second leg of his journey, Simon Reeve travels down the Rocky Mountains. In Montana, Simon meets a former Silicon Valley executive who has envisaged a new future for the land.
From Texas to southern Mexico
Simon travels from Texas to southern Mexico, meeting a woman who risks her life to take supplies to migrants stranded on the Mexican side of the border in Reynosa, one of the country's most violent cities, which is dominated by a powerful criminal organisation. He also ventures into the rainforest to explore the Maya city of Yaxchilan, and meets the modern-day descendants of this civilisation, who are increasingly marginalised and treated as second-class citizens.
Simon travels across Central America, from the Caribbean to the Pacific. Along the way, he goes diving on a coral reef on the coast of Belize, and witnesses a gun battle between park rangers and intruders in Chiquibul National Park. He also discovers how climate change has left Guatemala devastated by famine and drought, reports on measures to curb gang violence in El Salvador, and learns how Costa Rica aims to become the world's first carbon neutral country by 2021.
In this first episode, Simon travels to Burma to find out the roots of this crisis - as well as heading to Bangladesh to witness the drama that is still unfolding. He begins his journey in the biggest city in the country, Yangon, and drives north into Burma's Buddhist heartlands and the stunning ancient capital of Bagan - a sight that rivals the great wonders of the world. He meets the monks who supported the people through the darkest days of dictatorship. And he is granted an audience with some of the most contentious figures in the country - ultranationalist monks preaching hate against the country's Muslim Rohingya. Stopped from visiting the scene of the military crackdown against the Rohingya, Simon travels to Bangladesh to meet the refugees traumatised by the violence

From "The Lord of the Rings" film director Peter Jackson to a revolutionary farmer who uses drones to herd sheep, Keoghan brings you captivating and humorous stories you just won't find in a travel guide.
Shrines of Gold
Throughout Burma, temples, stupas, and statues of gold pop out in the lush, green landscape. This golden architecture has become Burma's calling card, but how and why did that become the standard here? Join us as we travel across Myanmar, the jewel of Asia, and reveal the history and myths surrounding these shrines, each one created as an offering to the Buddha. We will visit such treasures as the golden pagoda of Mt. Kyaiktiyo, which rests perilously atop a huge boulder, the 344-foot Shwedagon Pagoda, and the revered Mahamuni Buddha Temple.

Sri Lanka to Bangladesh
The adventurer reaches Sri Lanka, whose strategic location and tropical spices made it a target for invaders and colonisers for centuries. In the north he visits the scenes of vicious battles between the Tamil minority and the Sri Lankan army, traumatic events from which the population is still recovering. On his way to Bangladesh, he hitches a ride on a trawler, highlighting one of the Indian Ocean's fastest-growing industries - providing prawns for the West. But as he reveals, it comes at a price for the environment.
5/6 • Indian Ocean • Travel
The clean minimalism of the Japanese home has been exported around the world, from modernist architecture to lifestyle stores like Muji. But the origins of this ubiquitous aesthetic evolved from a system of spiritual and philosophical values dating back centuries. James visits one of Japan's last surviving traditional wooden villages, and the 17th-century villa of Rinshunkaku, and reveals how the unique spirit of Japanese craftsmen turned joinery into an artform - creating houses without the need for nails, screws or glue. Exploring some of the traditional arts of the Japanese home, James also investigates attitudes to domestic culture in modern Japan, meeting photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki, chronicler of Japan's crowded cities and tiny apartments. Other highlights include a performance by calligrapher and artist Tomoko Kawao and a visit to the hometown of architect Terunobu Fujimori.

After-School Tuition, Chennai
The Wings of Hope has been instrumental in a project providing after-school tuition for children living in the most deprived areas of Chennai.
Along with SAVE trust, a local NGO, the Wings of Hope run after-school tuition help and support for children who live in the slums of Chennai, the most deprived areas of the city. Children of all ages come and expand their knowledge, or get help with homework in a friendly and safe environment. Many of their parents and siblings are illiterate, and state schools in the area have problems with teacher absenteeism so these children are not supported in their education. This work is crucial for helping children to continue in education, allowing them to work towards a better life, truly empowering through education. Spaces for these sessions are provided by the community, including rooms loaned by the police station, and roof terraces of local houses. The next stage in the development of this project is to have a purpose-built space to act as a main hub and centre for the project.
Donate today and help us achieve this goal
In 2016, the Swaminayaran school in North-West London also collaborated in this work, donating toys and cards to these children who were delighted to receive such exciting gifts from England! Previous WOHAA winners have also visited the project in action.
The group also run summer camps, where children play games and educational activities, and are encouraged to think big. This year, they held a science fair!

Do you read the letters to the editor? Many people, if they read newspapers, can't resist.
Surprisingly enough it is also extremely easy to get your own letter published. Here are some hints.
Write a short letter. Make your point, add two or three sentences of explanation, then stop.
You can submit your letter by US mail, and usually by email. Sometimes the paper wants to verify each letter before they print it, so include your contact information, especially your phone number.
Your local paper wants local letters. Stay with newspapers that might reasonably guess you are an actual subscriber.
Be creative, but not crazy. Don't rant.
Try not to be boring, either.
Here is a link to most Iowa newspapers. You can search by county, and it gives you almost all the email addresses.

Hypsophrys is a small genus of cichlid fishes from Central America.

Species
There have been two recognized species in this genus:
 Hypsophrys nematopus (Günther, 1867) (Poor man's tropheus)
 Hypsophrys nicaraguensis (Günther, 1864) (Moga)

The poor man's tropheus had previously been considered to be in the separate monotypic genus Neetroplus before it was brought into Hypsophrys in 2007. However, genetic analysis by Oldřich Říčan, et al. in 2016 demonstrated that the poor man's tropheus should be in a separate genus and resurrected Neetroplus, restating the old scientific name Neetroplus nematopus.
