She said her company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the government of Sierra Leone, under the one belt one road policy put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping to invest in several projects, including navigation satellite, mining gold and diamonds, housing project, economic free zone, timber factories, gold refineries, among others.
"For the first phase of the investment, which will start in October this year, we will start to invest in navigation satellite, infrastructure which includes housing, and economic free zone. In this economic free zone, we will be able to open the global door to Sierra Leone, and that will subsequently attract more investment that will better the lives of all Sierra Leoneans," she said.
Ms. Stark said they first have to check the availability of airspace in Sierra Leone and afterwards set up a navigation satellite which will not only cover the entire country but seven other neighboring countries.
In a related development, Hon. Hassan A. Sesay, All People's Congress (APC) parliamentary representative of constituency 50 in Tonkolili district, said they were in China to further cement a relationship that was established by the former head of chancery (HOC) in the United Nations Mission in New York, involving some Chinese investors.
"This former HOC then came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Freetown to further strengthen the relationship with the Chinese investors. He took them to Sierra Leone Import and Export Promotion Agency (SLIEPA) and Parliament. Parliament, through the Leader of Government Business, Hon. [Sidi] Tunis, including APC [Parliamentary] Leader, Hon. Chernor Maju Bah, set up a team to work with these investors," he explained.
The opposition lawmaker revealed that they were also in China to meet with potential investors that have resources to invest in various sectors in Sierra Leone, adding that the sectors include but not limited to communication, fisheries, economic free zone, housing and infrastructure.
"In our various meetings with potential investors, we have been emphasizing on value addition in our natural resources in Sierra Leone. We don't only need them to extract and export them but we want to see them setting up refinery factories in the country and that will also create massive employment," he said.
Hon. Sesay said that in the area of furniture, they have agreed with potential investors to set up factories that would process timber into finished products for export and local consumption.
"By doing so, it will bring foreign exchange to our country, which will subsequently enhance the value of Sierra Leone's currency, the Leones. We don't want to always get an issue of fluctuating currency. Our aim is to get a stronger currency, which will eventually lead to economic growth. This project has a component of training people to become specialized in certain modern development techniques. Our efforts will virtually create millions of jobs, and it will lead to better infrastructure," he said.
Meanwhile, Sierra Leone's Ambassador to China and eleven other countries, H.E. Ernest Ndomahina, said that President Bio's envisions transforming Sierra Leone into a modern state with the requisite infrastructure, technology, industrialization, education, innovation, among others.
He noted that any investment that has potential to enhance all of the above would be highly welcome in the country.
"I'm here to tap into any opportunity that has the potential of realizing President Bio's vision for our beloved country. The United Nations Commutech Group is one among many other investments that are aligned to start operation in Sierra Leone. The 'New Direction' is serious about investment and we will stop at nothing that will undermine this drive," he said.
An entrepreneur-cum-diplomat, Ambassador Ndomahina, had worked tirelessly to attract potential investors to Sierra Leone.
Described by many Sierra Leoneans in Beijing as a go-getter, he told this medium that he was not an arm-chair ambassador, noting that since his appointment as ambassador to China, he immediately started to work on any opportunity that would be beneficial to the country.


William Hamblin & Daniel Peterson: What is India's very ancient 'Rigveda'?
Sept. 7, 2018 12:26 p.m.
Sept. 3, 2018 2:14 p.m.
If we take "ancient" to be evidence of "true", the Bible and BoM don't hold up well at all.
Sept. 1, 2018 12:10 p.m.
RE: the Bible faces serious competition in this regard from India's "Rigveda.?
The NT in comparison with any other ancient literature, the NT is without a peer—both in terms of the chronological proximity and the surviving number. Several ancient authorities are preserved in only a handful of manuscripts. Not so with the NT. There are approximately 5,500 Greek witnesses, ranging in date from the second century AD into the middle ages.
E.g.., Acts 17:22 23 Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. "For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.

Q: A simple binomial identity Is there a simple way of showing that a prime $p$ must divide the binomial coefficient $p^n\choose{k}$ for all $n\geq 1$ and $1\leq k\leq p^n-1$?

A: In this answer is is shown that the number of factors of $p$ that divide $\binom{n}{k}$ is
$$
\frac{\sigma_p(k)+\sigma_p(n-k)-\sigma_p(n)}{p-1}\tag{1}
$$
where $\sigma_p(n)$ is the sum of the digits in the base-$p$ representation of $n$.
Since $\sigma_p\!\left(p^n\right)=1$ and $k,p^n-k\ne0$, we have that $\sigma_p(k),\sigma_p\!\left(p^n-k\right)\ge1$. Thus,
$$
\frac{\sigma(k)+\sigma\!\left(p^n-k\right)-\sigma\!\left(p^n\right)}{p-1}\gt0\tag{2}
$$
Therefore, the number of factors of $p$ that divide $\binom{p^n}{k}$ is greater than $0$.

A: Just a quick remark after the fact: If you accept that  $$ (a +b )^{p} \equiv a^p +b^p\pmod p ,$$ for $a$ and $b$ indeterminants,
then
$$(a+b)^{p^n} = \left(\  (a + b )^p\ \right)^{p^{n-1}}\equiv \left(\  a^p + b^p\  \right)^{p^{n-1}}\equiv a^{p^n}+ b^{p^n}\pmod p,$$
which also gives the result.

A: $$\begin{align*}\binom{p^n}{k} = \frac{(p^n)!}{k! (n-k)!} &= \frac{(p^n)(p^n-1)(p^n-2)(p^n-3)\cdots (p^n-(k-1))}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3 \cdots (k-1)k} \\
&= \frac{p^n}{k}\cdot \frac{p^n-1}{1} \cdot \frac{p^n-2}{2}\cdots \frac{p^n-(k-1)}{k-1} \\
&= \frac{p^n}{k} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{k-1} \frac{p^n-i}{i}.\end{align*}$$
(Note that these smaller fractions are not necessarily integers.)
We are trying to show that after all cancellations of prime factors, there remains at least one factor of $p$ in the numerator of this large fraction.
Consider the fractions of the form $\frac{p^n-i}{i}$.
Now $p^n-i$ is divisible by $p^j$ if and only if $i$ is divisible by $p^j$, for all $1\leq j\leq n$.  So in each fraction $\frac{p^n-i}{i}$, all the $p$'s in the numerator and denominator cancel perfectly.
So in the entire fraction, the only remaining $p$'s in the numerator are those in $p^n$, and the only remaining $p$'s in the denominator (if any) are factors of $k$.  But $k<p^n$, so $k$ can have at most $n-1$ factors of $p$, leaving at least one left over in the numerator.

A: $$\binom{p^n}{k} = \frac{p^n (p^n -1) ... (p^n -k+1)}{k!}= \frac{p^n}{k} \cdot \frac{ (p^n -1) ... (p^n -k+1) }{(k-1)!} = \frac{p^n}{k} \cdot \underbrace{\binom{p^n -1}{k-1}}_{\in \mathbb{Z}} $$
$p \Big| p^n$ and because $k<p^n$ we get that $$p \Big| \binom{p^n}{k}$$

Another great blog John! I wondered how Henning and Reynolds were able to get their hands on that photo album. Those personal photos of Houdini and Bess blew me away when I received this book for Christmas way back then. I look forward to seeing that Henning-Kavanaugh artifact.
I think Doug was--meditating--when he hit on the idea of Walking Through a Brick Wall.
The Henning Houdini book? Yes, it's amazing.
Nice article, John. Cool stuff.
I've mentioned it over at my place. Hope you don't mind!
Houdini & Henning in the same blog article, it doesn't get much better than that! Awesome!
Have you read the biography, Dean? It's sensational. I just finished it today, in fact.

This season, there has been more talk of high profile racism than has been in a few years past. Did it ever go away? Or did we pay less attention to it than we are doing now?
I have been off for some time for various reasons and I believe this is a good time to return with my thoughts.

Australian Navy Ship Designs Stolen in Cyber Attack
You are here: Home / Security News / Australian Navy Ship Designs Stolen in Cyber Attack
Western Australian company Austal is considered one of around three hundred critical defence contractors in Australia. That is why, when the organisation was hacked in October this year, the Federal Police and the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) stepped in to investigate.
Photo credit: Austal
Austal announced that its data management system had been breached by an unknown offender, accessing staff emails and phone numbers as well as crucial ship designs and drawings. Some of the information was later found for sale on the Dark Web. Austal is a major defence contractor, building and designing ships for the Australian Navy and Border patrol for over a decade. They also supply more than 300 commercial and defence vessels to 54 countries worldwide including the US and in the Middle East.
Interestingly, in a statement on 1 November, Austal held that "there is no evidence to date to suggest that information affecting national security nor the commercial operations of the company have been stolen: ship design drawings which may be distributed to customers and fabrication sub-contractors or suppliers are neither sensitive nor classified". Despite these reassurances, the hack is a major concern, especially for other defence contractors. There are fears that if a company with major resources like Austal can be hacked, then others will be even more vulnerable. In their statement, the Federal Government highlighted that the incident "reinforces the serious nature of the cyber security threat faced by the defence industry, and the need for industry partners to put in place, and maintain, strong cyber defences".
Less than two weeks after it was announced, the ACSC has held an Iranian criminal group responsible for the attack. While it remains unclear whether this group has ties to the Iranian Government, many have been quick to point out the interesting timing. The hack comes just days after Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that Australia would be reviewing its support for the 2015 Iranian Nuclear deal, something the Iranian Government, and others for that matter, would be very displeased about. Nevertheless, the Iranian Government was quick to deny any involvement through the Embassy in Canberra.
However Fergus Hanson, a cybersecurity expert with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), noted that Iran is hugely active, with its sophisticated cyber capabilities putting it up there with China, Russia and North Korea in terms of its cyber warfare capabilities. Others have also noted that Austral is a major ship supplier to Middle Eastern counties such as Iman, Kuwait and Yemen, perhaps indicating that the hackers may have been trying to gain information regarding the capabilities of their neighbours. At first glance, it seems all the hackers were after was money through extortion, but in today's political climate other, more sinister motives cannot be ruled out.
This event joins a long list of high-profile, extremely costly cyber-attacks that have targeted large companies, governments, individuals, third-party contractors and more. They highlight the need to invest strongly in cyber security and reinforce the serious nature of the threats being faced by modern businesses today.

Which is amongst the ideal we have actually played with, comfortably matching up with the vibrancy and sharpness discovered on the Galaxy Watch and also Apple Watch Series 4. Also with continuous heart rate monitoring turned on, we've only had to charge the Watch GT once during our three weeks of use.There's currently brand-new Huawei Watch GT Active and Sophisticated editions that offers a much less stylish appearance yet comes with all of the same functions adding a brand-new Triathlon tracking mode.
Having a small computer strapped around your wrist is no more a pipe desire. The Apple Watch and also various other alternatives from preferred manufacturers, like Fitbit, Samsung, LG, and Fossil, have been gunning to craft the very best smartwatch. Now a couple of years elder, the smartwatch market uses more than ever before, whether you desire a certain design, iOS as well as Android phone compatibility, or simply a bunch of features.Smartwatches remain in impolite
wellness yet when it comes to the very best smartwatch in 2019, it's unquestionably the Apple Watch Series 4. It comes at a rate, as well as there are so lots of leading smartwatches at more affordable costs and also with just as great fitness features.Whether you're looking for a terrific smartwatch for physical fitness monitoring, running or a just taking calls and also notifications-- there are plenty of great alternatives for every budget. What's more, smartwatches are obtaining more trendy too.Today's finest smartwatch offers f you have actually obtained an Android phone, the Apple Watch will not operate at all, as well as
the best alternative right here is Samsung
's Galaxy Watch. The Galaxy Watch does function with both iPhones and Android gadgets, yet it's ideal with an Android phone, as well as specifically, one made by Samsung.The Galaxy Watch has most all of the functions you 'd expect on a modern-day smartwatch: GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, touchscreen, multi-day battery life, voice control, mobile payments, as well as heart rate monitoring. It has a round face that's easy to check out indoors and also out, and has a very valuable always-on setting that makes it easy to see the time at a glance.We're about 4 years into the Great Modern Smartwatch Experiment, which indicates we've discovered what smartwatches can be helpful for
(health and fitness tracking, alerts )and what they are absolutely bad for(replacing your smart device completely). If you're in the marketplace for a smartwatch, whether that's since you've never owned one previously and wonder about them or you're seeking to upgrade your older-generation design, you can anticipate today's smartwatches to last a bit longer in between costs, be a little faster to accomplish points, as well as maybe do a couple of brand-new tricks you weren't expecting.But the very best smartwatch is still significantly a servant to a smartphone, as well as even if you spend for an LTE-connected design and also pay a service plan fee for it, it's not going
to free you totally. Because of that, we don't believe LTE smartwatches are a good buy for most individuals-- it's much simpler and also cheaper to just maintain your phone with you and use your watch as a type of remote control for the phone in your pocket or bag.Which smartwatch you choose is mosting likely to be based completely on what phone you own, so our picks are damaged down into the ideal alternative for iPhone customers and also the very best one for Android owners.The Apple Watch Series 4 is as near smartwatch excellence as we've seen to date-- it's a flexible and also powerful wearable that can supply a big series of functions. While those trying to find a simple smartwatch may find the Collection 4's huge range of health and fitness, health and connected features to be excessive, it's able to change between physical fitness tracker, sporting activities watch and significant health and wellness device at will, making it a severe crowd pleaser.Apple's most current Watch addition offers us the most remarkable design adjustment given that the initial, bringing brand-new 40mm as well as 44mm dimensions (in comparison to 38mm and also 42mm). That suggests more space to display all the most recent software program features introduced in watchOS 5. It has all the exact same core fitness and sporting activities tracking as the Series 3, consisting of built-in GPS
for tracking of exterior exercises as well as a swimproof style. Physical fitness monitoring analysis may delay Fitbit, however Apple's special objectives-- represented by the closing of Relocate, Stand as well as Calorie rings-- is still a powerful motivator. There's still no indigenous sleep monitoring
below, however this can be done via a third party app.The headline features are the brand-new ECG display that opens the ability for serious heart health tracking. It's been FDA cleared, so the feature can be used to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. It's now readily available beyond the United States with Apple adding 19 more countries that can sign in on their heart wellness from the brand-new Watch. You additionally do not need to do that by hand, as well as the Apple Watch continuously monitors for reduced
and also elevated heart prices, along with AFib. There's likewise a new loss discovery setting that can allow individuals gain access to Siri to get in touch with emergency services or an emergency contact.If you are looking for a fantastic smartwatch that does not set you back a great deal of money, the S928 Sports Watch could be a great choice. It is just one of the most inexpensive smartwatch on my list, as well as while I am usually adamant when it concerns examining such items, it interested me to the core.The watch is made instead merely, and also instead of having an elegant display screen or high resolution, it makes use of a simple, single display. Truthfully, I do not mind that in any way, smartwatches are all regarding being simplistic in my opinion, as well as the S928 Sports Watch does a great work at that.Where it does not have a display screen, the S928 Sports Watch comprises by supplying some of the very best functions that you can want in a smartwatch. In order to make things simpler for the visitor, I am listing down the features below.Heart Rate Monitor: The watch features a heart price display that has the ability to give actual time heart rate updates.GPS: The S928 Sports Watch additionally come with a constructed in 3D accelerometer +gyroscope3D, enabling the individuals to be able to track every action they make throughout their exercise regime.Outdoor Information: The watch is likewise efficient in keeping a record of the outdoor information, suggesting that you obtain real time updates on exactly how the weather is outside. Enabling you to be able to prepare your workout carefully.These are several of the basic or innovative functions that remain in the watch. While they might not look sufficient, it is essential to recognize that these functions work throughout the entire community of the
watch, allowing these sensors to take complete control of the situation.The smartwatch can be regulated via an application that is offered on both iphone and Android. Truthfully, the app is as fundamental as it can obtain, and can utilize a little bit
a lot more gloss. There are a few more points that I did not understand regarding the watch; you can not transform the time format to 12 hours if you want to.In enhancement to that, the watch itself just sustains English as a language, while the app itself has 12 languages in total. This variance can be an issue for individuals that do not have English as their key language, and also despite the fact that 12 languages behave to have, they are just enough.The advantage here is that the application is being regularly upgraded by the programmer, so I can think that extra
languages will be included at some time in the future. Same goes for the watch as the firmware can be upgraded when released.All in all, the S928 is a decent smartwatch for Android, it is low-cost, functions as it is expected to, as well as does not come with unnecessary functions that can drain pipes the battery. I would certainly say that this smartwatch includes the bare fundamentals, and also definitely has a market amongst the giants.Sure, the lack of sophisticated features, and languages is startling, yet you likewise need to take rate into consideration when you are examining a product.Although smartwatches have actually existed for a long, very long time, their foray right into the mainstream is just current. With firms like Samsung, Apple, Asus, Huawei, as well as several others are burning the midnight oil to improve the watches, and also truly make the experience a whole lot better.Amidst all this, there lies the consumer frame of mind that still believes that the traditional, analog watches are way, method much better as they are crafted with wonderful accuracy, as well as perfection. This has actually brought about many discussions just how smartwatches should not exist, or are thought about bane of the wrist watch concept.Still, for individuals who really favor their watches display all the required information that comes
to their phone, all connected right into one ecosystem actually take into consideration smartwatches to be very helpful, as well as complying with that right into the marketplace, the smartwatch market at this factor is developing a different entity for itself.The Collection 4 comes packing LTE once more so you can take it out sans iPhone and still make/receive calls, obtain messages and all other notices you would certainly on your phone. A brand-new audio speaker likewise makes Siri chats and also call audio louder and clearer.Battery life is
the major complaint still, and also for all the renovations, Apple can still just offer 24-48 hours-- which for lots of merely isn't great enough.The Fitbit Versa is the firm's second smartwatch and, in addition to an adjustment in design instructions, it's most importantly available at a much more inexpensive price than the Apple Watch-- it can usually be gotten for around$179.99. And also do not neglect-Fitbit has actually revealed the Versa Lite Version(a lot more on that particular below)which clocks in at $159. The Fitbit Versa is available in a host of various coatings and with a big collection of bands to blend the appearance. And also thanks to the runaway success of the smartwatch, there's a busy market of straps to choose from.The Versa provides all of the very same physical fitness and also sporting activities tracking includes you would certainly anticipate from the Fitbit community, though the big noninclusion right here is the lack of GPS. If you wish to track flights and runs, you'll need to take your smart device with you, and the watch can piggyback your phone's information.
For several this will not be a large concern, but as major joggers it's a degree of difficulty we such as to avoid.Fitbit OS 2.0 brings a new-look UI that provides much more insights into your day-to-day data as well as quick reply support for Android phone users(iOS support coming at a later day). You can still download and install apps and also a lot of watch encounters, pay from your wrist making use of Fitbit Pay, and also use Fitbit Train. On the other hand the brand-new females's health monitoring has actually additionally been introduced for the very first time, which is additionally offered for the
Ionic, too.But it's battery life that actually has the power to urge customers, in addition to the attractive rate. You can get 5 days on a single charge, which suggests much less headache on weekend breaks away, as well as less complex sleep tracking.Fitbit had such wonderful success with the initial
Versa that it determined to make a more affordable variation that removes out a few of the smartwatch features.The Lite is nearly identical to the first Versa in appearances, conserve for now simply a solitary physical switch on guard body, which suggests you'll be relying extra on the touchscreen display screen to navigate the Versa Lite. In our experience, we didn't miss the 2nd switch too much.In terms of the function that are lost, you don't get a built-in songs player or swim monitoring (it's still water-proof though). You do obtain an optical heart rate display as well as all the basic physical fitness monitoring and sports tracking functions in addition to app-based features like ladies's health and wellness tracking. There's additionally no more Wi-Fi, with Fitbit presenting a brand-new as well as simpler way to upgrade your smartwatch with incremental background downloads.Sports and also health and fitness monitoring efficiency is not that various from what we discovered on the very first Versa.
Sleep monitoring is still a standout feature, while the heart price screen still tends to fail for high strength exercises. As a core smartwatch experience it's decent, but it still lacks in contrast to its closest rivals.
Particularly in the application department. If you like watch deals with however, you're well served here.Thankfully you still obtain the very same four-day plus battery life, which can absolutely extend to five days depending upon usage. That's still better than what Apple and also Google's Wear OS watches can muster up appropriate now.If you liked the Versa, yet like to spend a little much less, the Versa Lite Edition is fitting choice. The swim tracking is a disappointing noninclusion much more so than the songs player, yet if you can live without monitoring your pool sessions it's still a wonderful smartwatch to take into consideration at an excellent price.The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the successor to the Gear S3 and is still one of the very best watches around. Suitable with Android as well as iphone, it currently is available in both 42mm as well as 46mm models.Samsung treads between smartwatch and fitness tracker, likewise packing in a heart rate sensing unit together with the GPS as well as its much-improved Samsung Health and wellness software program. There's additionally the alternative of LTE, if you yearn for an untethered link, with a standalone speaker for taking get in touch with the watch. It's currently water-proof as well, adding swim monitoring abilities that are on the same level with the Watch Collection 4. The Galaxy Watch runs on Samsung's Tizen OS 4.0 and seems like a better alternative to Google's Put on OS today. You still get that turning bezel and one of the very best displays you can find on a smartwatch. Nevertheless, the app choice
still lags way behind the Apple Watch and Use OS tools. That said, the Spotify application is great and provides offline playback.Battery life, we need to claim, is likewise strong, getting you 2-3 days on the 42mm version and even more on the 46mm version.
If you're not a fan of Wear OS as well as do not want an Apple Watch, this is the leading option to take into consideration instead.Garmin has actually been placing out best smartwatches for sporting activities enthusiasts for some time now. Operating, cycling, swimming, golf-- Garmin has had us well and also absolutely covered. Despite the Leader name, the 645 Music is a lot more in the mould of the Vivoactive 3 Songs. It's obtained a comparable look as well as additionally brings the songs this moment. This helps make the Garmin even more of a smartwatch competitor to the Apple Watch, Samsung Gear or Fitbit Ionic than before.Not just are you obtaining enough storage for 500 tracks, however you're obtaining the offline playlist assistance for Spotify, Deezer as well as iHeartRadio. For moving your own tracks, start up Garmin Express on your computer, choose the Songs tab and also pick from your own music to port over.That same eye-catching stainless steel layout is below. The 240 x 240 pixel display screen at the heart of the body is by no indicates the brightest or most lively you'll find, yet most importantly provides strong visibility in a lot of workout conditions, whether you're sweating it out indoors or outside. Nevertheless, there is no touchscreen or touchpad here, so you'll have to consider pressing some buttons.As far as the variety of sports offered to track: while it's more of the same, there are some remarkable exclusions-- like golf tracking and also open water swimming( swimming pool swimming is there though). Heart price tracking is suitable if not class-leading, and it will not keep you lingering for a GPS signal. There's also all the anxiety tracking rewards from Garmin's fitness trackers. As multi-sport smartwatches go, this is the ideal in our eyes, and builds on all the great Garmin did with its previous iterations.For iPhone owners, Apple's Series 4 Watch is much and also away the ideal alternative available. The Apple Watch has a huge, brilliant screen; streamlined, comfortable equipment; quickly efficiency; very trusted battery life; and a whole host of health and fitness tracking and also health-related features. The Apple Watch also has the strongest third-party Fitbit Model Number Locationenvironment-- there are numerous straps, accessories, battery chargers, docks, apps, and watchface difficulties you can use with the Apple Watch.The Apple Watch succeeds at offering fast access to any notifications that can be found in to your phone, as well as it lets you reply to messages right from your wrist swiftly and also quickly. You can use it as a speaker phone whenever you really feel like mimicing Prick Tracy, as well as it's fantastic for regulating Fitbit Model Number Location
music having fun on your phone. It likewise has Apple Spend for acquiring things without a purse or your heart, general practitioner and phone rate monitoring for workouts, and also also the capacity to advise you if it finds specific heart problems.THE APPLE ENJOY COLLECTION 4 HAS ALL OF THE ATTRIBUTES EXPECTED IN A SMARTWATCH Battery life can vary depending on just how much you use the Watch to track tasks and the number of alerts you obtain, but in our screening, the Collection 4 Watch never stopped working to last a minimum of a whole day in between costs, as well as often it could opt for two days. It's still something you require to bill rather consistently, but you don't have to bother with it dying on your wrist halfway through the day if you've begun with a complete tank.Unlike essentially every other smartwatch on the market, the Apple Watch still doesn't provide an always-on display, however, so it doesn't actually tell you the moment until you touch the display or raise your wrist. It's still incredibly paradoxical that things the Apple Watch is the most awful at is being an Fitbit Model Number Location
real time-keeping device.But other than that, there's really little to whine concerning with the Apple Watch Series 4, as well as it's quickly the ideal option for apple iphone users.Of program, we're providing the Leader right here as a smartwatch, as well as Garmin has actually included suitable smarts. Physical fitness tracking is superb as well as Garmin Connect is a good community for wellness data from steps as well as sleep The Galaxy Watch does function with both iPhones and also Android gadgets, however it's ideal with an Android phone, and also particularly, one made by Samsung.The Galaxy Watch has most all of the features you would certainly expect on a modern smartwatch: GPS, touchscreen, multi-day battery life, voice control, mobile settlements, and heart price tracking. For that reason, we do not think LTE smartwatches are a good buy for the majority of people-- it's far easier as well as more affordable to simply keep your phone with you as well as utilize your watch as a kind of remote control for the phone in your pocket or bag.Which smartwatch you select is going to be based totally on what phone you possess, so our picks are broken down into the ideal option for iPhone users and also the best one for Android owners.The Apple Watch Series 4 is as close to smartwatch perfection as we've seen to day-- it's a versatile and also effective wearable that can supply a substantial variety of functions. While those looking for a simple smartwatch could discover the Series 4's huge range of fitness, wellness and connected attributes to be excessive, it's able to morph in between physical fitness tracker, sports see and also serious health and wellness device at will, making it a significant crowd pleaser.Apple's latest Enjoy enhancement gives us the most dramatic layout change considering that the initial, bringing brand-new 40mm and also 44mm dimensions (in comparison to 38mm and 42mm). Honestly, I do not mind that at all, smartwatches are all about being simple in my point of view, and the S928 Sports Watch does an excellent job at that.Where it does not have a display screen, the S928 Sports Watch makes up by giving some of the finest attributes that you can want in a smartwatch. In order to make things simpler for the viewers, I am detailing down the functions below.Heart Rate Screen: The watch comes with a heart price screen that is able to offer actual time heart rate updates.GPS: The S928 Sports Watch additionally come with a developed in 3D accelerometer +gyroscope3D, allowing the customers to be able to track every step they make throughout their exercise regime.Outdoor Information: The watch is also capable of maintaining a record of the outside information, indicating that you obtain genuine time updates on how the weather condition is outside.

Today's my sister's birthday, so go on over to her blog to wish her a good one!
I'm serving up some virtual dessert today... to all of you!
A while back, I finally got to go to a vegan restaurant that also serves raw food called Au Lac. All the food was super yummy, but this dessert that we ended up getting really "took the cake."
This is called the Chocolate X-Tasy, and ecstasy it was. It was cold, rich, chocolate-y, and had a nice minty flavor inside. It did not feel like an "empty" dessert or waste of calories AT ALL.
After I sadly had to depart from that restaurant, I found THIS recipe and decided to give it a (literal) whirl.
Avocados + pecans = expensive recipe, but totally worth it!!
I didn't document the processing part very well, but basically, you grind up the crust ingredients (pecans, mostly), and press them into a pan. I used a silicon one, which was helpful later.
Super tasty, and great as a frozen treat (it's still sitting in "The Ukrainian"'s fridge for an occasional chocolate bomb. Did you notice there was no oven involved? Perfect for hot-weather prep! I guess I don't need to go back to that restaurant for some chocolate-y goodness.
(though you know I will be!).
Hmmm, I might have to slide this recipe over to my wife, and see if I can convince her to make it for me. Looks delicious!

Wetland soil characteristics form when soil is continuously saturated for periods of one or two weeks or more during the growing season. The parent material influences how the soil retains water, and the hydric (wet) soil characteristics that form. The biology of the soil also influences hydric soil characteristics. Under saturated conditions, soil micro-organisms can rapidly use up the oxygen in the soil, which can change its color and appearance.
If the soil is continually saturated throughout the growing season, the lack of oxygen may severely slow the rate of decay of plant matter and result in the accumulation of a thick layer of peat or muck. Such soils are known as organic soils. All organic soils in Vermont are considered to be hydric, or wetland soils. Muck is an organic soil in which most of the plant material is heavily decomposed and there are still a few recognizable plant fragments. Peat is an organic soil in which most of the plant material is still identifiable. Mucks are usually black, while peats may range in color from brown or reddish brown to black. Many organic soils emit an odor of rotten eggs, resulting from the partial decomposition of plants under waterlogged conditions.
Soils composed predominantly of mineral matter, such as sand, silt, clay, or loam, are known as mineral soils. If the saturation is of a shorter duration and/or if there is more flow of water through the wetland, there may be little or no accumulation of organic matter. Prolonged saturation leads to the development of gleyed, depleted, or mottled soils. Depleted soils are grey to nearly white in color. Gleyed soil horizons are greenish or bluish gray in color. Soils that are gleyed up to within 18 inches of the surface are hydric soils. Mottled soil horizons form in locations where the water table fluctuates over the course of the year. Soils which contain brown or yellow mottles (spots or specks) within a grayish matrix are hydric soils when the mottling occurs within 18 inches of the surface.

How accurately can we measure rainfall in urban areas?
What spatial and temporal resolutions are necessary to adequately capture and predict rainfall patterns responsible for urban flooding?
How accurately can we predict the location and timing of heavy rainfall based on state-of-the art numerical weather prediction and radar nowcasting techniques?
How can we integrate rainfall information into the decision making process for city managers and emergency management services – before, during and after the flood?
Rotterdam is Netherlands' second largest city and most important link to the North sea. It is situated in an area of peatland along the river Maas and largely lies below sea level. The city is characterized by an extensive network of drainage canals and man-made ponds. In most places, groundwater is found at around 70 cm below the surface. Because the weak peat soil compresses easily, the surface level of the city sinks by about 1 to 2 cm every year. Water supply and drainage for the city consists of surface waters, a sewerage system, pumping stations, pressure pipelines, overflows and several sewage treatment plants. Most of the rainfall drains through the sewer along with domestic wastewater to the sewage treatment plants. From there, pumps send the treated water into the river Maas. If the sewer capacity is exceeded during heavy rain, the untreated sewage enters the surface waters through a series of overflow outfalls and from there, flows into the river Maas. Because Rotterdam has little surface water, options for storing excess stormwater are limited. The city depends on the regional water authorities of Schieland, Delfland and Hollandse Delta for protection against floods. During prolonged dry periods, the city also depends on fresh water sources from outside. Like many other cities in the Netherlands, Rotterdam must adapt its water management in the face of new hydro-climatic risks. Sea levels are rising and more water flows through the river than before. Summer rain bursts are becoming shorter and more intense, increasing the risks of urban flooding. The annual precipitation over Rotterdam is about 36 million m3 of water, increasing by about 1% per year. In the long term, the city wants to expand its excess water storage facilities by using new surface waters, underground storage facilities, green roofs and water plazas.
Accurate rainfall observations in cities are of critical importance for reliable prediction of water levels and flows, overflow from sewers and predicting urban flood events. In recent years, a high resolution X-band rainfall radar has been installed in the centre of Rotterdam, as part of the RainGain project (www.raingain.eu). The radar has dual-polarimetry and Doppler capability and can measure just above the urban canopy, at approximately 150 m altitude with a resolution of 100 meters and 1 minute and a range of about 30-40 km. The radar offers unique opportunities to study the structure and dynamics of rainfall in an urban setting, to analyse micro-climate effects and turbulence induced by the urban fabric. In addition, the radar provides unique insight into the link between small-scale rainfall variability and urban hydrological response. Table 1 summarizes the different instruments and sensors available in the area. In addition to the radar, there is also additional independent meteorological information provided by a dense network of 10 professional weather stations on the ground, several disdrometers, citizen rain gauge networks, GNSS water vapour retrievals and vertical profiling radar. Hydrological data will be available at 40 flow sensors and about 60 water level sensors at pumping stations and in sewers throughout the city.
During the experimental campaigns numerical simulations of atmospheric variables including precipitation, air temperature, mixing ratio and wind speed and direction from the WRF-ARW (Weather Research and Forecasting – Advanced Research WRF) mesoscale meteorological model will be evaluated. WRF-ARW is a non-hydrostatic mesoscale numerical weather prediction model developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. WRF-ARW offers the choice between a large number of microphysics and land surface parameterization schemes. Every microphysics scheme uses a unique method of parameterizing the atmospheric heat and moisture tendencies and microphysical rates, while each land surface scheme parameterizes land surface characteristics such as snow, soil, and vegetation. The WRF simulations of precipitation will be validated against rainfall observations from the Rotterdam X-band radar, micro-rain radar and measurements from in-situ meteorological sensors. One of the objectives is to assess the sensitivity of simulated rainfall to different microphysics and land surface parameterization schemes. In parallel, other objectives include an evaluation of the impact of data assimilation from the X-band radar, and the potential use of WRF model ensemble runs for probabilistic rainfall forecasting.
High resolution rainfall maps and space-time variability of rainfall in an urban environment.
Information about urban modification of rainfall patterns and differences between rainfall above the urban canopy and at ground level.
Short-term ensemble rainfall forecasts for lead times up to a couple of hours based on state-of-the-art combination of stochastic radar nowcasting techniques and high-resolution numerical weather prediction models.
Variability in hydrological response patterns based on flows and water level observations (runoff ratios, peak flows, response times).
Hydrological/hydrodynamic response modelling: validation of forecasted water levels and flows, accuracy and precision of hydrological response characteristics, contributions of error sources to overall uncertainty.
Post-processing and flood assessment: tailored information for improved visualization, awareness and communication depending on the requirement of different end-users.


Hathian Observer reporter Joanne Steel was critically injured outside Lou's Bar on Main Street late on Wednesday Night. Steel apparently was leaving the bar and had a brief conversation with a member of the Orcus Samedi Motorcycle Club, as she turned to leave she was hit in the back by a sledge hammer swung by the unidentified man knocking Steel to the ground. Then a man later identified as Ash "Sinner" Brinner, the president of the aforementioned Orcus Samedi hit Miss Steel over the back of the head with a baseball bat while she lay on the street.
A source close to the hospital said that Miss Steel was in a vegetative state, though few could tell the difference, and it is unknown what sort of long term damage she may suffer or if she may make a recovery from her injuries. Hathian Police Department are believed to be looking for a one armed man by the name of Kimble in connection to this incident.

advice & information for patients & their families
emergency medical advice for patients
information for healthcare professionals caring for people with Addison's
lobbying the NHS, HSE, policy-makers and influencers to consider the needs of people with Addison's

With just over 20 species in the genus, Phragmipedium Orchids are a Slipper Orchid and are widely grown and hybridised. Although they are from South America they do grow at elevations so are easy to grow.
It is mainly the hybrids that are seen for sale although the species themselves are sought after by collectors.
They come in a range of colours and do require slightly different temperatures. They will grow in a range of potting mediums however need to flushed out with clean water on a regular basis.
Watering regime is important, always use water that is at room temperature rather then straight from a tap. This allows the water to rid itself of some of the chlorine. Rain water is best and deep watering is most successful.
In general more frequent water will be required in summer, usually daily. It is also important not to water the foliage as this can cause damage. Different species require slightly drier conditions such as caudatum, besseae and wallisii.
Filtered light is essential, around 50 % to 75% shade cloth depending on climate is an indication. Light should always be filtered, with to little light they tend not to flower.
Good air flow is essential, however not cold wind. Humidity should be at around 60% and a saucer full of pebbles with water that the pot can sit on can help achieve this. Misters and foggers can also be used in summer if required.
Use a pellet form organic fertiliser such as Strike Back when repotting. A diluted liquid fertiliser can be used every second week when in active growth. Make sure that a good watering between fertiliser application is carried to to flush away residual salts..
Ensure that you do not over pot, and repot every 2 years at least to avoid the potting medium breaking down. Try to use a deep pot as these orchids like to send their roots downward.


The Bramwell system of grading is a numerical system that has been accepted by dealers, collectors and investors of banknotes throughout the world, in ever growing numbers.
The system is simplicity itself, taking away a lot of the guess work of grading banknotes.
The major advantage of the Bramwell system is it provides a continuous and convenient scale of grading ranging from the very best to the very worst graded banknotes, with the gaps in the standard method of grading.
In the Bramwell system the perfect uncirculated banknote is graded at 100.
For imperfect banknotes the degree of damage is assessed numerically as we have described below, with the result of any damage subtracted from the perfect banknote score of 100.
For assessment of the system, banknote damage is considered under five very distinct headings: these being.
Our table defines three levels of damage under each of the five headings listed above, then gives for each level a "damage number". Intermediate levels and their damage numbers can be accurately estimated from the listed banknote table.
To grade a banknote, the damage number under each of the five headings is estimated and the five damage numbers added together. This gives the "total damage number" which is the number subtracted from 100 to give an accurate individual banknote grade.
Starting at 100 for a perfectly preserved banknote, the grader then uses our numeric system of grading banknotes, to arrive at an accurate system of grading all banknotes.
The Bramwell System follows the standard grading system commencing with An uncirculated banknote will have rating of: 100.
An almost uncirculated banknote will have a rating of: 90.
An extra fine banknote has a rating of: 50.
A very fine banknote has a rating of: 30.
A fine banknote has a rating of: 10.
A good banknote has a rating of: 5.
We highly recommend the Bramwell system of grading banknotes, it takes much of the guess work, and differing opinions away from the grading of banknotes.
