Track cyclist Kluge takes Giro stage; Kruijswijk keeps lead
Associated PressMay 25, 2016, 2:04 PM EDT
CASSANO D'ADDA, Italy — German rider Roger Kluge used his track cycling experience to take the biggest victory of his road career, winning the 17th stage of the Giro d'Italia on Wednesday with a well-timed counterattack.
Steven Kruijswijk of the Netherlands had little trouble protecting his 3-minute lead over Esteban Chaves on the mostly flat 196-kilometer (122-mile) leg from Molveno to Cassano d'Adda.
Kluge responded to an attack from Filippo Pozzato in the final kilometer (mile) and easily overtook the Italian on the final straight to hold off the sprinting favorites.
Kluge had time to raise his right arm in celebration before he crossed the line in slightly more than 4 1/2 hours.
Giacomo Nizzolo of Trek-Segafredo finished second and Nikias Arndt of Team Giant-Alpecin crossed third, both with the same time as Kluge.
The 30-year-old Kluge won a silver medal in the points race at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He also took silver in the omnium at this year's track worlds and a gold in the omnium at the 2010 European Championships.
"I've been a pro for six years and this is the big victory I have been looking for," Kluge said. "It wasn't planned at all. I was working for Heinrich Haussler, closing the gap for him but I saw a possibility to get away. The finishing line was very near."
The victory comes after Kluge's IAM Cycling team announced it would fold after failing to find a second sponsor.
"It's a strange feeling," Kluge said. "Yesterday we were very disappointed to hear that our team is going to stop at the end of the year but we decided to stick together and it's wonderful to come up with a victory to make it up for our disappointment."
Stage 18 on Thursday is the race's longest, a 244-kilometer (152-mile) leg from Muggio to Pinerolo that starts out flat but concludes with some steep hills and a dangerous descent.
"I knew this was my last easy day before some hard stages coming up," Kruijswijk said. "(Tomorrow) is a stage with a hard and spectacular finale after a tricky downhill. I'm ready."
There are also two more serious mountain stages Friday and Saturday before the 99th edition of the race ends Sunday in Turin.
Australia's Jay Vine wins Tour Down Under
ADELAIDE, Australia — Australia's Jay Vine defended his overnight lead to win the Tour Down Under, the first event of the 2023 World Tour.
Simon Yates of Britain won the final stage and moved up from third to second place on overall standings. Vine came in second on the stage to secure the biggest win of his career in a stage race.
The UAE Team Emirates rider took the overall tour lead when he finished second in Stage 2 and third in Stage 3. He came into the final stage with a 15-second lead on general classification.
The 70-mile stage involved four laps of a 15.5 mile-circuit through the Adelaide Hills before finishing just beyond the summit of Mount Lofty.
Yates led the crucial attack on the ascent less than 1.2 miles from the finish, but Vine jumped onto his wheel and Australian Ben O'Connor also joined in.
O'Connor led out close to the finish line, Vine briefly passed him but Yates came over the top to claim the stage win. Vine retained his overall advantage and claimed the title in his debut appearance in the Tour Down Under.
The 27-year-old made his name in e-Sports before being signed by the UAE team after winning the academy program on the Zwift online platform. He won two stages of the Vuelta a Espana last year and the Australian Time Trial title.
"It's pretty incredible to be standing here and wearing this jersey," Vine said. "The way we drove that was first class. My guys were incredible."
The final stage featured a breakaway of 13 riders but Vine's UAE teammates led the chase by the peloton and put their rider in a position to contest the win.
Yates again rode an aggressive race but had to be happy with the stage win.
"We came Down Under with a lot of ambition. We put a lot into it and we didn't come away with the overall but we can walk away pretty happy," Yates said. "Obviously Jay Vine is a massive talent and the crowd will be happy with a local winner."
France's Coquard wins Tour Down Under Stage 4; Vine leads
ADELAIDE, Australia — French cyclist Bryan Coquard won Stage 4 of the Tour Down Under for his first-ever World Tour win, while Australia's Jay Vine retained the overall tour lead by 15 seconds with one stage remaining.
Coquard is a lightweight sprinter who has had 49 wins in a decade-long career but had never won on the World Tour until he cleared out near the finish to claim the 82-mile stage by a margin of about just over 100 feet.
Vine was among the leading group that shared Coquard's winning time and who retained his lead on general classification over Britain's Simon Yates and Germany's Phil Bauhaus. The race concludes with Stage 5, which ends atop 2,329-foot Mount Lofty.
"It's a long time that I've waited for this win, 10 years," said Coquard, who rides for the French Cofidis team. "I never really expected and I'm very happy and relieved with this win."
While the stage was flat and suited sprinters, it had its challenges. Cross-winds and occasional gradients made the stage difficult and confounded some riders.
After an early breakaway by Jonas Rutsch and former tour winner Daryl Impey of South Africa, the peloton broke into two groups with Vine and other tour leaders among the leading group.
The leading group stayed together around the last, sharp bend towards the finish and Coquard bided his time until his late sprint left other riders flat-footed.
"It was pretty stressful," Vine said. "There was one point there, I thought we were going to have an easy day and I was happy, smiling, waving to families on the side of the road.
"Then, 45 kilometers in it was on and it was on until the end so it was a very hard day. There was a lot more calorie expenditure than I was planning."


ICTO ACTS had conducted a survey to assess the usage of ICTO Computer Room by students and academic staff. Survey was conducted from 23 March until 15 April, 2016. Two sets of questionnaire in Chinese and English were prepared for students and academic staff respectively. Data collected from survey provided valuable information and it will serve as good reference for our continuous improvements efforts.
Two thousands email invitations were sent to students and 86 to academic staff. 766 complete replies from students and 48 from academic staff were received. Response rate was 38.2% and 55.8% respectively. Most of the respondents were satisfied with ICTO Computer Room service and support. The average satisfaction level was 3.56 from students and 4.02 from academic staff (highest is 5).
One open-ended question was included to collect further comments from respondents on ICTO Computer Room service. 108 feedbacks were received with 12 compliments. Here are the list of some of the comments collected from the survey and our plan of improvement actions.
It would be much easier if you allow faculty computer rooms to share software licenses.
Please increase the number of computers in a single computer room, for example 60.

Q: Using Spring Websocket without STOMP client I am working on a brownfield project.
It is a websocket server that allows clients to subscribe to desired topics. When an event happens related to a topic, our server will send notification message to all subscribed clients of the topic.
It seems that STOMP is very appliable to our case. So Spring Websocket is already used.
But there was a problem that our client isn't STOMP. So we extend TextWebSocketHandler and in it's afterConnectionEstablished method, create a new WebSocketStompClient and bind it to the websocket session, for each clients. Then we convert any received messages from STOMP session and send it to the corresponding websocket session. They are implemented in handleTextMessage method. Indeed, we are connecting a STOMP connection to ourself in the server-side to simulate STOMP client. We have to do so just because our client isn't STOMP.
Our code is like this:
@Component
class MyWebSocketHandler : TextWebSocketHandler() {
    private val sessions = mutableMapOf<String, WebSocketSession>()

    override fun afterConnectionEstablished(session: WebSocketSession) {
        val webSocketStompClient = createWebSocketStompClient()

        val stompSession =
            webSocketStompClient.connect(
                "ws://$host:$port/stomp",
                /* some headers and a StompSessionHandler */
            ).get()

        sessions[session.principal] =
            ConcurrentWebSocketSessionDecorator(session, 20_000, 10_000_000).also {
                it.attributes["STOMP_SESSION"] = stompSession
            }
    }

    override fun handleTextMessage(session0: WebSocketSession, message: TextMessage) {
        if (isSubscribeMessage(message.payload)) {
            val stompSession = findStompSessionByWebSocketSessionId(session.id)
            val topicId = extractTopicIdSubscribeMessage(message.payload)
            val subscription = stompSession.subscribe(
                "/topic/${topicId}",
                object : StompFrameHandler {
                    override fun getPayloadType(headers: StompHeaders): Type = String::class.java

                    override fun handleFrame(headers: StompHeaders, payload: Any?) =
                        session.sendMessage(TextMessage(payload as String))
                }
            )
        }
    }
}

Then we simply use SimpMessagingTemplate.convertAndSend to send notifications in our event handler.
class MyEventHandler(
    private val topic: String,
    private val simpMessagingTemplate: SimpMessagingTemplate
) {

   fun handle(event: Event) {
        simpMessagingTemplate.convertAndSend("/topic/${event.topic}", "Some notification message")
    }
}

Now I have the following questions:

*

*First of all, I think that our approach is not good. Am I right? Is there any better way to benefit Spring Websocket without STOMP client?

*Another problem is we use default spring in-memory broker rather than RabbitMQ or ActiveMQ. What are it's pros and cons? In my opinion, using in-memory broker is better in context of performance because there is no network call. But the huge number of concurrent clients may cuase some resource issues.

*I am asked to make the application reactive and adapt with Spring Webflux. How should I do so such that still benefit STOMP? I am new to reactive programming and AFAIK there is no support for STOMP. I think that there is an architectural gap between reactive programming and STOMP protocol that I cannot understand.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Syria's future potential lies within its fountain of youth; realising the power and promise of its young population is integral to positively shaping Syria's prospects as a nation. At the heart of the Trust's approach is a belief that providing young people with a capacity for self-directed learning is the best investment any country can make in building a sustainable future. The Trust is actively involved in both the formal and non-formal learning sectors to support young people acquire market relevant knowledge, critical life skills and attitudes, as well as, better schooling experiences. Ultimately, it is about laying the foundations for young people in Syria, to not just explore and fulfil their own potential, but also to care about the wellbeing of others, and see themselves as responsible citizens in a connected world.
The Trust has taken the lead in creating practical, market orientated learning programmes that will equip young Syrians with the skills and real life knowledge needed, to rebuild Syria and reshape its future for the common good. Our commitment is about delivering an extensive range of academic and professional subjects at undergraduate, masters and doctorate levels, many of them completely new to Syria's higher education. Programmes have been purposely designed to expose students to the realities and challenges they will encounter in Syria and the wider world. We offer scholarships to those from underprivileged backgrounds to ensure that learning remains inclusive of the brightest regardless of circumstance.
Programmes help children, teenagers and undergraduates learn about themselves and their world, and inspire them to think critically and make a difference. These qualities will help to give them the best start in life and to create a culture of active citizenship and contribution, providing the solid foundation on which Syria can build its future. Integral to our learning activities are people with disabilities and special needs; specialised programmes help them to have a fair chance to learn and contribute. Throughout, the emphasis is on growing the individual, not in isolation and purely for the sake of self, but with the purpose of active contribution as part of a community, a nation and humanity as a whole.
The Trust supports learning inside the classroom by running homework cafes and remedial classes in its network of community centres. Programmes are designed to be flexible and accommodating to the needs of children and parents who need an extra hand with homework; and more structured for those who have been out of school and need to catch up with their peers. Interventions are also made to provide teacher training, and building renovations that create more inspiring learning environments.

"Regrowth" features works by Amber Boardman. It is the first strictly painting exhibition from Boardman in Atlanta in over a decade. Boardman's works on canvas and paper contain the frightening and hilarious beauty secrets no women's magazine will share—the un-sellable secrets: mistakes. Her painting style, inspired in part by the figurative works of Philip Guston, allows her subject matter to be humorous rather than tragic.

First European spacecraft to land on Mars
An artist's impression of the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which carried the Schiaparelli probe. Credit: PA
A small robot could make history by becoming the first European spacecraft to survive a landing on Mars later.
Scientists will be hoping the Schiaparelli probe successfully flies itself through the Martian atmosphere and lands on Meridiani Planum - an area near the planet's equator rich in haematite.
On Earth, the mineral almost always forms in a watery environment.
The mission, conducted by the European Space Agency (Esa), will test out a landing system for future missions to the Red Planet - including the ExoMars Rover mission in 2020.
The ExoMars Rover will drill into the soil of Mars and look for definitive signs of past or present life.
It is expected the Schiaparelli probe will land at 3.48pm UK time.
10 key moments in the effort to understand Mars
Chief scientist Professor Colin Pillinger reacts after losing Beagle 2 in 2003. Credit: PA
The only previous Esa spacecraft to attempt a landing on the planet was British-build Beagle 2 on Christmas Day 2003.
After separating from the Mars Express orbiter that carried it, Beagle 2 was never heard from again.
However in 2015 scientists discovered the Beagle had landed, but its solar panels had failed to deploy.
Mission controllers hope Schiaparelli - part of an ambitious joint European and Russian space effort - will fare better and take photographs of the approaching terrain.
It's certainly a tense time. I'm looking forward to an interesting night's sleep, or lack of it. The classic problem with Mars is its thin atmosphere. If you have a thick atmosphere, it naturally slows you down, and if there's no atmosphere, it's easy. But Mars has a very thin atmosphere that slows you down a bit, but can still cause a lot of problems. It varies a lot; you get waves and ripples which are unpredictable.
Dust impacting on the heat shield can also be a hazard, but I'm told that's one that can be compensated for.
– Dr Manish Patel, Open University
Schiaparelli was taken to Mars on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft, and has crossed a distance of 500 million km on a seven-month journey from Earth.

Watch out when leaving your belingings unattended - they might get inhabited!
The problem with blogging about gardening and plants for me is that during the gardening season, there is not much time to write, and when there is time to write, there is not much going on gardening-wise. Do you find this, too? Let me share with you some of the photos I shot over this season.
...or to think of the potential their places hold, unfulfilled.
Last week I picked the first tomato that ripened on my window sill.
But... compare that to my mother's produce from her garden in the country!
growing right under my balcony.
It has been raining for three days now. The moisture was badly needed, and so was the time spent doing things that have been waiting for some time to be done. A long time ago I was asked by a male friend of mine to sew him a cooking apron. For some reason, he doesn't feel too comfortable looking like a cook in a regular apron, and so he asked for something resourceful instead.
Well, today was the day to get creative. I pulled out and old men's shirt from my collection of clothes that no one wants to wear anymore, to bring it back to life.
I hope my friend likes his new apron.
And I think ladies could wear it, too.
Yesterday was cold and raining, and I was able to finish sewing this dress. It is a variation on the Bloom Dress free pattern by Tina Givens. I love the Lagenlook style. The dress is a present for my Aunt.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Nazem Kadri scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:18 left in the third period and had two assists to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night.
Dillon Dube and Elias Lindholm also scored for Calgary, which has won five of its last six games at home. Jonathan Huberdeau added two assists. Dan Vladar, starting for the fifth time in the last seven games, made 18 saves.
"It's huge," Lindholm said. "To take the next step and climb into a playoff spot, we've got to put a couple (wins) together, we can't just be around .500 all the time and lose one, win one, lose one, and go that way."
Calgary led 2-0 in the first period before Arizona tied it early in the third. Kadri regained the lead for the Flames on a power play as he got his team-leading ninth of the season off a pass from Tyler Toffoli to end an eight-game goal-scoring drought.
"I've had a lot of great opportunities over the last handful of games so it's nice to finally see it hit the back of the net," Kadri said.
The 32-year-old center had a strong start to the campaign, recording eight goals and 13 points through the first 16 games after signing with Calgary following a Stanley Cup championship run with the Colorado Avalanche.
"There was a little frustration starting to seep in," Kadri said. "It's funny how this game works, sometimes you feel like you're playing great, but no results to show for it and sometimes it can be flipped."
Shayne Gostisbehere and Jakob Chychrun each had a goal and an assist for Arizona, which has lost nine of its last 10 (1-6-3). Karel Vejmelka had 24 saves.
Down 2-1 to start the third period, Arizona tied it at 5:50 when Chychrun snapped a shot over Vladar's shoulder. It was Chychrun's third goal in seven games since the defenseman returned from a wrist injury that sidelined him the first six weeks of the season.
However, nine minutes later, Chychrun took a tripping penalty that put Calgary on the power play for the go-ahead goal.
"We battled back and got ourselves to tie the game up. That penalty's just … I don't know. I have no intention of tripping that guy obviously," Chychrun said. "I'm playing a 1-on-1 and breaking the play up and try to go up the ice and beat him up the ice and he just falls. I think it's just terrible but it's unfortunate. It cost us a point at least."
The Flames finished the night a perfect 2 for 3 on the power play, after having been in a 2-for-21 slump over the previous seven games. Arizona went 0 for 2 on the man advantage.
Dube opened the scoring as he deflected Chris Tanev's point shot with 5:47 left in the first for his fifth goal of the season and fourth in his last eight games.
Lindholm converted on Calgary's first power play of the game, scoring his ninth of the season with 2:59 left in the first to make it 2-0.
Gostisbehere pulled the Coyotes within one with 6:07 left in the second for his fifth.
HOMECOMING WEEK
Coyotes defenseman Juuso Valimaki, selected 16th overall in the 2017 draft, is the fourth Flames first-round pick to play against Calgary during its homestand. He follows Matthew Tkachuk (2016) and Sam Bennett (2014) with Florida on Tuesday and Sean Monahan (2013) with the Canadiens on Thursday.
ROOKIE RISING
Matias Maccelli's assist extends the 22-year-old's point streak to four games (one goal, five assists). It's also his 15th helper on the season, which leads all rookies. Maccelli is second in rookie scoring behind Seattle's Matty Beniers.
Coyotes: At Edmonton on Wednesday night to wrap up a season-high 14-game road trip.
Flames: Host Minnesota on Wednesday night in the finale of a five-game homestand.

Jessica Andrade Is Coming For Redemption
After Being Sidelined Nine Months Due To Injury, Jessica Andrade Faces Lauren Murphy At UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill In Brazil
By Kevin Schuster, on Twitter @KevinESchuster • Jan. 6, 2023
The last time fans saw Jessica Andrade inside the Octagon was April 2022, when she delivered one of her biggest highlights of her career – submitting No. 3 strawweight Amanda Lemos in the first round via standing arm triangle.
It was her second consecutive first-round finish since her title fight loss to flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, making her a strong contender to be next in line for a title shot against either the 115-pound or 125-pound champion.
Watch Jessica's Return At UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill
The win came at a cost, though. Leaving the Octagon that night, Andrade suffered a herniated disk, forcing her to take considerable time off to undergo physical therapy. Leading into her scheduled bout with French phenom Manon Fiorot at UFC Paris back in September, the pain was too much to bear, and Andrade withdrew from the bout to pursue more care.

"I stayed at home resting, doing physical therapy, and before the surgery, I spent three months on the shelf, not training, not being able to move properly, just doing the PT to see if it would help," Andrade said. "I had no choice other than to go on with the surgery. I had it and now I'm super recovered, going back to training, strong and ready for this fight that is coming up."
Throughout her career, Andrade suffered lower body pain during training camps but endured as long as she could to continue to fight as frequently as she desired. With her recent surgery, not only has her back pain significantly reduced, but so has the on and off, nagging injuries that persisted over years.
RELATED: Top Strawweight Submissions Of 2022
"With the professionals here [at the UFC Performance Institute], with Heather (Linden), with the nutritionists, my life really turned from water to wine," Andrade said. "Today I train, and I feel stronger, I have more energy, I have more in the gas tank. People say that I already had a good gas tank before, so now it's even better. I believe that I am really back now. A new Jessica, ready for whatever comes. And [I'm] really, really strong. Really strong. Even stronger. I'm going to kick people out of the Octagon."
Andrade's new and improved power will be on full display when she returns to the flyweight division at UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill against former title challenger Lauren Murphy. Falling short against Shevchenko, Murphy bounced back with a unanimous decision victory over former champion Miesha Tate in July.
Bonus Résumé | Jessica Andrade
"This fight with Lauren Murphy is exciting because she is not an easy opponent and the UFC would never give me an easy opponent, but she is coming from a title fight, so she has fought for five rounds and knows how hard that is," Andrade said. "Even though we're fighting for three rounds, she has this experience in the Octagon and that makes a difference. So, I'm very excited and can't wait to see what she has to show, if she's going to try to strike with me, if she's going to use her jiu-jitsu and her grappling. I know I have weapons for all the areas of the fight, and I become more well-rounded everyday as a UFC fighter, as an MMA athlete.
"I hope I knock her out or submit her early. I don't want to take too long on this fight because I want to be in one piece to go to my mom's house and see my family. This was a decision made by my Master and my manager, Ali, since I'm coming from an injury it was the most likely fight to happen. And if I didn't accept this fight, I wouldn't have the chance to fight so early. Also, because most of the girls at strawweight already have fights booked and the flyweights don't want to fight me. So, this opportunity came around and we grabbed it with all we could."
Born in Paraná, Brazil, Andrade will be fighting in her home country at UFC 283, when the UFC returns to a full capacity Jeunesse Arena on January 21, an arena Andrade knows all too well.

Flashback to May 11, 2019, Andrade had her second crack at UFC strawweight gold in UFC 237's headliner against then-champion Rose Namajunas. In front of her hometown fans, Andrade slammed her way to a knockout victory over "Thug Rose," adding to one of her many highlights on a historic night in Rio de Janeiro.
During her time recovering from surgery, these moments replayed in her mind over and over again. Now given the opportunity to perform in the same arena where she became the UFC strawweight champion, Andrade hopes to replicate that dominance at flyweight against Murphy.

"When I was a kid, I used to dream about this. I wanted to be a soccer player and I would imagine the crowd chanting, 'that's the champion,' and on that night, to hear everybody yelling that made me think of my childhood, of when I was a kid and dreamed of being champion," Andrade said. "To bring this win to my people was so good. This is something that will be in my head forever.

"The feeling of getting back in the Octagon and fighting at home is so good, especially coming from an injury, an injury I thought would stop me from doing what I like to do, which is going for takedowns, taking people off the ground. So having this energy at home, fighting again at a UFC in Rio, it's going to be wonderful."
RELATED: Andrade's Top Finishes | Order UFC 283
If Andrade can get past Murphy at UFC 283, her motives are very clear: get back to the title and dethrone whoever's in her way. While she hasn't decided on a permanent home at either strawweight or flyweight, a move back down to 115 pounds is inevitable.
"A win against Lauren Murphy can put me really close, if not immediately, really close to a title fight, both in strawweight and flyweight," Andrade said. "But what I really aim for in my career is to go back to 115 pounds and have the chance to do a rematch against (Zhang) Weili. In China, I had no opportunity to show what I can do inside the Octagon. It was a very quick fight, so I really want that opportunity."

Being an iced-over, snow-heaped, bear-packed island at the edge of the world has its advantages: For one, you're at least unusual enough to warrant talking about. And Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago situated so far north it redefines the term "off the grid," certainly warrants talking about. Thousands of tourists each year, in fact, think it warrants flying halfway around the globe for a Svalbard sailing voyage. To get your own account of what makes this Arctic archipelago so singularly special, here are 10 facts that just might prompt you to consider your own Svalbard cruise.
Being an iced-over, snow-heaped, bear-packed island at the edge of the world has its advantages: For one, you're at least unusual enough to warrant talking about. And Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago situated so far north it redefines the term "off the grid," certainly warrants talking about.
Thousands of tourists each year, in fact, think it warrants flying halfway around the globe for a Svalbard sailing voyage. To get your own account of what makes this Arctic archipelago so singularly special, here are 10 facts that just might prompt you to consider your own Svalbard cruise.
This fact may go far in explaining some of the others on this list. The most recent count, conducted by the Norwegian Polar Institute in 2004, estimated polar numbers in Svalbard at about 2,650 and possibly as high as 3,600. At the time of the count, there were around 2,000 residents living in the archipelago's capital, Longyearbyen, and some 2,600 living in Svalbard as a whole. Another count done in 2015 revealed that polar bears have increased by 42% since 2004.
The law, published in 2012 by the governor of Svalbard, requires anyone traveling outside the archipelago's settlements to equip themselves with the means necessary to scare off a polar bear. Firearms are of course highly recommended for this purpose.
Though in other respects Svalbard gun laws are not unlike those of most European communities – firearms are prohibited in public buildings, cannot be discharged in town, so forth – it is the unusual wildlife of these scattered Arctic islands that renders additional protection not only necessary, but enforced.
It only fits that the place with the largest bear-to-human ratio and a mandatory rifle rule also houses one of the world's top ghost towns (according to National Geographic). Purchased from Sweden by the USSR in 1927, the town of Pyramiden was used for years as a mining community, and once housed over a thousand inhabitants. At the time, it wasn't that bad of a place: It had its own indoor swimming pool as well as a theater, music room, and library. Unfortunately, these are the sole surviving residents of this hollowed-out haunt, which was deserted during the 1998 Russian currency crisis.
There are an estimated 10,000 reindeer living in Svalbard, all comprising their own distinct subspecies. These are the aptly named Svalbard reindeer – also called Spitsbergen reindeer, after the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago. Svalbard reindeer are the smallest reindeer in existence. They have lighter fur color, more rounded heads, and shorter legs than other reindeer, and they have populated Svalbard for around 5,000 years. Even so, they were nearly hunted out of existence in the early 1900s until dedicated recovery programs came to their aid.
For the polar-savvy among us, this is perhaps the least surprising Svalbard fact. After all, Antarctica and parts of Greenland receive such little rainfall that they too qualify as deserts. Svalbard is no different: Its total precipitation averages about 200 mm (7.8 inches) per year, with the northeastern island of Nordaustlandet claiming most of the "Arctic desert" characteristics. The west side of Svalbard is, by contrast, quite lush in places.
The degree of cultural diversity in Svalbard would be impressive for a centrally located town, much less a scatter of Arctic islands halfway between Norway and the North Pole. The Svalbard capital of Longyearbyen ceased to be simply a mining community in the early 1990s, filling up due to rising research, tourism, and educational interests. The people who relocated there were from all different parts of the globe, proving you don't have to go to a big city (or town, or village) to enjoy the benefits of a multinational society.
The Northern Lights are best seen when the sky is darkest, but the hour doesn't have to be late for the sky to be dark. Because of Svalbard's far northern location, the archipelago gives Northern Lights enthusiasts a rare opportunity to witness the magical lightshow in the day. From October through February, during the long polar nights, you can eat your lunch below the dance of these famed auroras.
Though it seems logical to group this fact with polar bears and Pyramiden to achieve maximum fright factor, our intent is not to scare you off Svalbard. In 2008 researchers uncovered the 150-million-year-old Jurassic fossil of one of Earth's largest marine reptiles, a pliosaur that has since been named Predator X. Pieces of the skull, back, neck, teeth, and forelimb – Predator X's was almost 10 feet in length (3 meters) – were found, remnants of an earlier world.
Svalbard can actually claim many of the world's northernmost locations: kindergarten, university, church, post office, museum, commercial airport, and gourmet restaurant. But it's music festival is one of the coolest (forgive the pun). The music festival, known as Dark Season Blues, takes place in late October, marking the start of the long Arctic nights. Indeed, the dark blue of the sky seems a perfect canopy under which to play such classic numbers. Concerts are held at numerous Longyearbyen venues, including pubs, restaurants, the church, even the local kindergarten. This alone is a reason for an Arctic trip, one that would make B.B. King proud.
If you think it sounds made up, you're not alone. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is the end-all, be-all, hold-all repository of the world's crops. Locked deep in a mountain shot through with permafrost, the Vault protects these crops in seed form in the event of global catastrophe. Gene banks from all over the world have contributed, filling the Svalbard Global Seed Vault to an astounding 930,000 crop varieties. Even so, this is only a fraction of what the Vault will hold: 4.5 million crop types, with an average of 500 seeds each, yields a total Vault capacity of 2.5 billion seeds. Not long ago the location made global headlines when melting permafrost threatened the seeds, but the Norwegian government has since made improvements to prevent a reoccurrence. Though the Vault is a precaution we hope we'll never need, we need it to fail even less.

Is a Project Plan Always Needed?
When I do home projects, I sometimes make a plan. Other times (that would be most of the time), I just get into the project and figure it out as I go along. I wish my preference was the former, but in practice my plan is typically a work in progress.
Editor's note: Last week, Jan Blittersdorf was recognized by the White House as a Champion of Change for her work advancing new ideas that are leading the way to a clean energy future and an economy that's built to last.
And so it is for every functional area within a business. When times are good, it's easy to maintain existing relationships. When times are tough, it's easy for a business to neglect existing relationships and chase after new ones.

What is a topc file and how do I open a topc file?
A TopicCrunch project file is generally classified as a data file but can also be categorized as a text file because of the content stored in these TopicCrunch project files. Keywords and search engine configurations are among the details stored in these TopicCrunch project files. Domain names and URLs can also be entered into these TopicCrunch project files through the TopicCrunch application. The TopicCrunch software was developed with a set of integrated features that can aid webmasters in monitoring and tracking the search engine optimization practices implemented into the pages of their websites. These TopicCrunch project files enable these TopicCrunch webmaster users to generate checklists that can be formulated into search engine optimization campaigns which they can implement for possibly improving the search engine rankings of their websites for their target keywords. The content of a TopicCrunch project file is integrated with text formatting standards used for files stored in the TOPC file format. Files appended with the .topc extension are TopicCrunch project files, and, aside from using TopicCrunch to use and view the content of these TOPC files, supported text editors developed for some operating systems can be used to open and view the content of these TopicCrunch project files. The data stored in these .topc files is used by TopicCrunch as reference content when a user requests for a set of functionalities integrated into the software that corresponds to the pieces of data saved in the associated TopicCrunch project file.
Edit with a text editor.

Abhishek Jain – Amdavadi film-maker who is giving Gujarati Cinema an urban twist
Shruti Chaturvedi
Read more from Shruti
Remember Kevi Rite Jaish? The peppy, unconventional urban – Gujarati movie that became a topic of discussion and a must-see for practically everyone who understood Gujarati? We meet the soul behind the movie – Abhishek Jain. Here's the story of the storyteller who made urban Gujarati movies, a thing.
Abhishek was born and brought up in Ahmedabad, with his roots in Jodhpur.ˀ
"I enrolled at Whistling Woods and that was it. It opened the doors for me in the bling-y industry of cinema. When I began, I didn't even know who Yash Raj, Yash Chopra or Subhash Ghai were. I was made fun of for my ignorance to the industry I was so passionate about."
For Abhishek, films were always about actors and never the directors or the producers.
"They were never on stage! For 7-8 months, I refused to interact with people at college since I felt inferior and illiterate in the glamorous world of cinema. I spent a lot of time in library, watching lot of films and reading as much as I could on the same"
After completing his film-making studies, Abhishek assisted big shots like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Subhash Ghai in Saawariya and Yuvraj. In a pursuit to fill the void, Abhishek decided to take a leap of some years and shifted back to Ahmedabad.
"CineMan, my film-making venture, came into the picture in February 2010. We began with the idea of venturing into the advertising field in order to gather enough funds to make a feature film. So we began with approaching NGOs and requested them to let us make a video. We wanted to prove ourselves in the market and also understand how well we as a team are. We made three advertisements at peanut price and it went well."
And then onwards, there was no looking back. The team proceeded further with the aim to provide an exposure to the brands established in the town for which every time they needed to rush to Mumbai.
"We were determined to deliver things of good quality at an affordable price"
Abhishek constantly focused on building a robust team that would stick through all odds.
"We are all young, passionate and have a go-getter attitude. Being young comes with a limitation of lack of commitment. However, it is a long way for us and we are learning how to handle things with maturity"
CineMan has already brought out two feature films, the last hit film – 'Bey Yaar' which successfully ran in the theatres for 53 weeks and 'Kevi Rite Jaish' which took Gujarati cinema scenes by a storm. It was also screened in several countries overseas. Interestingly with 'Bey Yaar' Abhishek Jain brought the concept of in-film branding in Gujarati cinema.
"Initially, the brands were bit apprehensive about the idea. It was not that they were not convinced about the fact that whether we will do justice to their brand or not but they were apprehensive of the fact that whether the amount they are paying will be worth it or not."
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RaXm6YL188]
Seven years down the lane, CineMan contributed two major hits to the Gujarat film industry. Abhishek Jain talks about CineMan's future plans.
"We had a five year plan when we began and we achieved it. Ad films and television commercials are the core areas that we will keep concentrating on. I want to break a perception that everything cool thing related to entertainment industry can only be done in Mumbai"
Talking about his challenges, Abhishek says,
"I think the most difficult part is to have a fair balance of creativity and a business-mind to survive in entertainment business."
The 28 year old director is already a role model for a number of young film makers; he highlights the fact that if there's a will, there's a way.
"I think the only way one can succeed in this super-competitive industry is by making films and evolving out of it", he concludes.

Have you ever been overwhelmed with so many things to do that you immediately become tired? If you have the willpower to only sleep 20-40 minutes, it can be a very helpful way to refresh your brain. Of course, the hard part is laying down and forcing yourself to do your work after that amount of time rather than continuing to sleep.
The Singing Machine company certainly lives up to its namesake, having rolled out different kinds of karaoke machines in the past, with the Singing Machine iSM990BT being one of the more recent releases. Having said that, here we are with their latest model that is called the Singing Machine SML385 which ought to be able to spruce up just about any party and make it a whole lot more fun. After all, when you have some drunk guests take over the microphone, that is when they bare (and sing) their heart out – and you will be able to see the "real" them without any pretenses.
Samsung has already seen some smartwatches released in the past, but those have not really set the world alight, turning them into "must have" devices. However, this does not mean that one ought to simply give up just like that, and for a company of Samsung's size, surely they have more than a one track mind where their products are concerned. This time around, we have seen LG reveal their upcoming LG G Watch R that will be officially announced at IFA 2014 in Berlin, and being LG's bitter rivals on the consumer electronics front, here would be the Samsung Gear S that sports an elegant and aesthetically pleasing design.
The smartwatch industry certainly looks as though it is about to take off in a huge way, especially when you take into consideration how all the major players in the mobile device market are starting to look into the possibility of churning out a range of such devices. South Korean company LG has just revealed their latest masterpiece, which is known as the LG G Watch R, and this bad boy looks all set to make an appearance at IFA 2014 that is happening in Berlin, Germany, early next month. What has LG done to make the LG G Watch R more unique than anything else in the market would be the fact that this is the first watch-style wearable device in the world that sports a circular Plastic OLED (P-OLED) display, which means it will make full use of its watch face. Now that is something that the rest of the smartwatches in the market are unable to lay claim to.
The whole idea of pico projectors never really took off, simply because there really wasn't any real market niche for it to fill up. Apart from that, battery life proved to be an issue, and so were brightness levels which were not up to par for a boardroom sized presentation. Having said that, there are still pico projectors in the marketplace, with new models being released from time to time, although those happen to be rather rare and few in between. Heck, even a company like Samsung has come up with a smartphone that has a built-in projector before, and so did India's Spice with their Popcorn Projector M-9000 Phone. Having said that, how about a projection clock instead? This is where the Kickstarter project known as Clockety comes in, where it touts being the first smartphone projection clock in the whole world.
I am quite sure that we have read enough stories about crime around the neighborhood in the local paper each day, not to mention we probably know someone, or happen to have been a victim before, of such a burglary in the past. Having said that, a fair number of homes still rely on the old school lock and key system, and while it might have worked a couple of hundred years ago, it is not going to be all that effective in this day and age where a little bit of technical skill would allow someone to waltz into your home given enough time, to take all of your treasured possessions in the blink of an eye. Well, Yale, a trusted name in home security for years, intends to slow down and deter thieves from entering your abode with their new range of keyless smart locks that cannot be picked.
