The voordalak–creature of legend, the tales of which have terrified Russian children for generations. But for Captain Aleksei Ivanovich Danilov–a child of more enlightened times–it is a legend that has long been forgotten. Besides, in the autumn of 1812, he faces a more tangible enemy: the Grande Armee of Napoleon Bonaparte.
City after city has fallen to the advancing French, and it now seems that only a miracle will keep them from Moscow itself. In desperation, Aleksei and his comrades enlist the help of the Oprichniki–a group of twelve mercenaries from the furthest reaches of Christian Europe, who claim that they can turn the tide of the war. It seems an idle boast, but the Russians soon discover that the Oprichniki are indeed quite capable of fulfilling their promise … and much more.
Unnerved by the fact that so few can accomplish so much, Aleksei remembers those childhood stories of the voordalak. And as he comes to understand the true, horrific nature of these twelve strangers, he wonders at the nightmare they've unleashed in their midst….
Full of historical detail, thrilling action, and heart-stopping supernatural moments, Twelve is storytelling at its most original and exciting.
Twelve was a review copy sent to me by the kind people at Pyr. I must apologize for taking SO LONG to get this review written and posted. Between cancer, pregnancy, my back and baby issues, my reviewing has been much slower than it normally would be. Thankfully, change is in the air.
I have wanted to read Twelve for quite a while. There are a few reasons why this book appealed to me. First, awesome cover art. Second, I'm obsessed with learning about other cultures. I know next to nothing about Russia, and the fact this book takes place there appealed to me. Third, I was very interested to see how Kent would work vampires into his book without making them seem campy or out of place.
While vampire stories are becoming more and more popular these days, they are also becoming more and more tired. It seems like the shelves are filled with the same-old-same-old and very little fresh air is breathed into these creatures. That's where Kent's Twelve really makes an impact. Using the Napoleonic wars as a backdrop, Kent inserts vampires into Russian folklore and historical events seamlessly without letting the vampires smother the plot and setting. The unique setting (Really, how many of us know much about Russia?), and three-dimensional characterization mixed with the air of mystery that never quite abates, works wonders for these very tired-and-done creatures of the night.
Characterization was also topnotch. The main protagonist, Aleksei Ivanonvich Danilov, tells his story in the first person. While many readers don't generally enjoy books written in first person form, it works here. In fact, I can't honestly see how the book would have survived if written any other way. Aleksei is an easy to understand character who leaves nothing to the imagination. He takes the reader on a journey through his likes, dislikes, passions and friendships. Not only that, but Aleksei divulges his conflicted feelings for his wife and family as well as the prostitute Domnikiia. By the time the book is over and done, the reader will most likely feel as though they have lived Aleksei's life. The no-secrets attitude Kent has toward his protagonist is quite amazing. It's rare that a reader has the opportunity to experience the life of a character who is so open and unencumbered by secrets and mystery. The result is an incredible three-dimensionality that really compliments the almost flawless world building, creating a well rounded, and surprisingly well fleshed out and human world that readers will automatically become attracted to.
However, despite the world building and characterization, if Kent hadn't done his research the book would have ultimately failed. This is a historical novel, set in the Napoleonic Wars, at a time when France was invading Russia. Kent needed to write these events in such a way that history buffs, and those ignorant of these events (like myself) would both be duly impressed, and he did. It's obvious that he did an incredible amount of research for Twelve, and it was that sense of, "hey, he really did his homework," that I was specifically looking for when reading this book. The addition of vampires and hints of the fantastic is just a wonderful frosting on a delicious cake, but not the point on which the plot hinges.
Now, any review would incomplete without some discussion of the plot. Twelve starts out somewhat slow and slightly tedious while Kent focuses on world building and setting the stage for future events. It doesn't take long for the ball to get rolling, however, and readers will quickly feel sucked into the plot. However, that's not to say that there aren't some flaws to this work. At times the detailed happenings of Aleksei's daily events became a little too tedious. This created some points where I didn't feel as though plot progression and Aleksei's personal events and thoughts were fully balanced.
All in all, Twelve was a book I enjoyed, while learning quite a bit from. Kent's flawless world building blended with his three-dimensional characterization and fantastic prose really made Twelve shine. If the book does start out somewhat slow, the plot quickly picks up. Kent's incredible Russia mixed with Aleksei's relatable voice works well to insure that most readers will quickly find themselves absorbed in this work. If the plot doesn't seem quite balanced, and, at times, does border on tedious, it's incredibly easy to overlook. Twelve is a book that will sink its teeth into you and won't let go until the last delectable page.
Twelve is the first book in The Danilov Quintet.
This sounds fantastic. I would love to read something so entrenched in Russian history. Gotta love something entertaining AND educational, right?
I loved Twelve. I like my vampire stories to be scary and suspensful, none of this YA romantic crap. and as far as Scary and Suspenful, Twelve delivered!

We need to set rules and limits around face data
By Josipa Majic 2019-11-27T11:00:46Z
Is Amazon's facial recognition and emotion analytics solution ethical?
(Image credit: Image Credit: Zapp2Photo / Shutterstock)
This week, the ACLU sued the Justice Department, the DEA, and the FBI to gain access to information on these agencies' facial recognition practices amid fears they are secretly tracking US citizens across the country. It's the latest in a string of concerns that powerful organisations are using facial recognition and emotion analytics in unethical ways.
In August, for example, we heard that the King's Cross area in London had rolled out facial recognition, attracting Black Mirror-eque comparisons.
And Amazon is arguably first in the firing line after news broke this summer that its Rekognition technology, part of the company's Web Services division, is harvesting facial data from unwitting participants with little transparency over what it's being used for. Amazon is reportedly working with several US public institutions to run data collection projects at scale in order to improve public safety and security. Collection points include public spaces such as airports and border control.
The problem with Amazon's practice is it recognises, classifies, and tracks facial data on a continuous basis without consent or a defined number of subjects in each study/data collection project. It is harvesting data from participants that were neither recruited nor compensated, which is both unfair and unethical.
Amazon's facial-data projects are concerning not just because of the questionable ethics. These projects will result in a massive data set that will give the company a monopoly in the AI emotional technology race. As with all AI and ML technologies, whoever has the largest data set wins. Through Amazon's rumoured deal with police, the company will get unparalleled access to data sets that no one else in the US market can compete with. Hikvision already has a similar position in the Chinese market and has been heavily judged for that reason. Giving Amazon such a deal, paired with its current market power and access to cheap capital, will ensure a monopolistic position. Without access to the vast data sets needed to improve this technology, other companies will simply not be competing on a level playing field.
Amazon proposes regulatory guidelines for facial recognition
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos admits facial recognition regulation "makes a lot of sense" as there is "potential for abuses of that kind of technology." But Amazon's solution -- for its public policy team to draft up its own laws for legislators and regulators to adopt -- leaves a lot to be desired. To ensure responsible use of the technologies, regulation should instead be based on the following three principles:
1. When dealing with third-party partners - companies that would like access to the raw datasets, but were not originally involved - it is imperative to ensure the same ethical approvals as the original research from local authorities, universities and internal ethics committees of clients, in order to ensure all legislation and data protection rights are followed. Without this, third party companies could harvest the data and use it to improve their algorithms, as happened with prof. Kogan, who received approvals for his academic research, but later gave Cambridge Analytica access to the acquired datasets, leading to a big data privacy scandal.
2. Facial data studies must be controlled experiments where participants are (a) formally recruited, (b) fully informed of the research objectives and the data being collected, and (c) financially compensated for their data.
3. The antitrust authorities should understand the danger of data monopolies in this field, where big tech players dominate due to their data sets and no other company or institution can realistically compete in building emotional AI algorithms.
Microsoft urges better regulation of facial recognition technology
So why not just ban it?
Given the potential for abuse, it's tempted to think of just banning facial recognition and emotion analytics technologies altogether. But they do have their purpose.
From a commercial perspective, facial data can help get past inherent biases and reveal how people really feel, helping businesses better cater to their customers. This is especially important in use cases where customers in different demographics are not in a position to express themselves; for example, senior citizens trying to explain when and why tech products are difficult to understand or use. And the use of biomarkers can have a profound impact on society, for example in healthcare data analytics and research, where having access to high frequency data can help enable timely public health responses.
The technology is still young and we are just scratching the surface of its potential, but we must ensure it is protected from abuse -- with no exceptions; not even Amazon.

What happens when sport and art intersect? For Victory Journal's 10th issue we sought to answer this very question. From "The Loser," Gay Talese's studied portrait of a boxer in decline, to the fascinating story of Bonnie Erickson, the former Henson Studios designer who became the cornerstone of the mascot industry—we looked at the people, places and things that offered an offbeat angle to the art of athleticism. It manifests in every page: whether it's street photographer Cheryl Dunn's photos of the decadent, rowdy Triple Crown crowds juxtaposed against the larger-than-life baseball art of Raymond Pettibon, or Bronx-based sculptor John Ahearn's surreal "lifecasts," Victory Journal 10 turns the concept of sport on its head, presenting a familiar world in unexpected ways.


Every non-medical science student wants to become an engineer. Engineers have made this world a worthwhile place to live and have made our lives very simple with the technology.

Worthington Sales Up 16% in Q1
By Metal Center News Staff on Oct 9, 2018
Worthington Industries Inc. reported net earnings of $54.9 million in the first quarter of the company's 2019 fiscal year, compared with net earnings of $45.5 million in first-quarter 2018.
First-quarter net sales at Worthington totaled $988.1 million, a 16 percent increase over year-ago sales of $848.2 million.
The company said sales increases were driven by several factors, including higher average selling prices, higher direct volume in steel processing, and higher volume and an improved product mix in pressure cylinders.
"I am pleased we continued to produce year-over-year improvement," said Worthington Chairman and CEO John McConnell. "While our steel processing business benefited from higher steel prices, we also saw stronger volumes in steel and in our pressure cylinders business."
Worthington saw double-digit sales increases in two of its three major business segments.
Net sales in the steel processing segment increased 22 percent year over year to $660.5 million, while net sales in the pressure cylinders segment increased 11 percent to $300.4 million. The engineered cabs segment reported a 14 percent decrease in total sales compared with the year-ago period due to lower volumes.
During the quarter, the company also announced the retirements of Mark Russell, president and chief operating officer, and John Lamprinakos, president of steel processing. Andy Rose was named president and chief financial officer, while Geoff Gilmore was named executive vice president and COO. Gilmore will also oversee Worthington's steel processing segment and continue to lead the pressure cylinders business.
"We announced several leadership changes recently," McConnell said. "I am confident and excited that we have an excellent team to lead the company to new heights. We have a solid leadership group in place across our businesses and I look forward to continuing our momentum."


BARBARA FORREST knew the odds were stacked against her. "They had 50 or 60 people in the room," she says. Her opponents included lobbyists, church leaders and a crowd of home-schooled children. "They were wearing stickers, clapping, cheering and standing in the aisles." Those on Forrest's side numbered less than a dozen, including two professors from Louisiana State University, representatives from the Louisiana Association of Educators and campaigners for the continued separation of church and state.


In order to receive a license from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, casinos are required to meed certain criteria. This online legislation model as a whole has come as a result of the Government's efforts to make the environment favorable for Kahnawake Internet gambling. This is exactly the reason why the legislation model that provides certain provinces with the right to monitor, control and regulate the gambling industry within their borders is believed to be suitable for Canada.
With the latest HTML5 software, players can access games directly from the browser without having to download any applications. It is unnecessary and unsafe to download any software unless you completely trust the brand.

Keep in mind that the best online casinos in Canada will not ask you to download any software to enjoy the best casino games. The site will be able to support a huge number of players playing simultaneously.
One of its major advantages is the fact that customers do not have to reveal any personal or bank account information. Depending on customers' location, PaySafeCard can also be found as an electronic voucher, which is also fast and easy to work with. No bank account number is required to be filled in when making payments or online casino deposits with the system.
Classics like blackjack and roulette seem timeless as players embrace the ageless games just as they always have in brick-and-mortar establishments. Games like baccarat have also found love among online players throughout the last couple decades but it is online slots that have taken the iGaming world by storm. Making up a majority of all the games produced online, slot game are definitely the cream of every crop. Interactive games hosted by a live, professional dealer are also on the rise in terms of popularity in 2018. Most of the top online sites offer some form of a live product featuring live-dealer games.

Customization options. We always pick the Canada accepted online casinos that will suit any taste but if you are choosing the Canada best online casino by yourself, make sure you can set it according to your own preferences. First of all, choose the interface language. The top 10 online casinos in Canada are available in English, French, Swedish, German and so on. Even though online gambling games in the internet casinos in Canada do not require a lot of reading, it's always nice to play the games in your own language.

So rest assured we know how to provide this as it's our core goal in service.
The majority of casinos that operate online do so in countries that are friendly to operators. Generally, these are offshore operating in Malta, Costa Rica and other countries. The fact they are identified as "offshore" is a bit confusing as a large number of offshore casinos are situated within the Canadian borders; technically falling under their own jurisdiction as they are hosted on Native reserves.
It should be clear by now that River Belle is the obvious choice for anyone interested in playing online casino games in Canada. Whether you look at our software, our games, our rewards, our customer service or our banking options, our level of excellence is very high.The concern for many prospective players, for any online casino, is how the high standards that they see are maintained.

The convenience of being able to play wherever you are in the world makes you feel right at home. Their loyalty program and great bonuses which are constantly updated make you feel right at home and wanting to play and win big!
Customer support is of the utmost concern at Jackpot Paradise. Email and live chat support are made available to assist customers. The casino is independently audited to ensure fair gaming. They also are licensed locally by gaming commissions as required. 128 bit SSL encryption means your personal information is kept that way, and you won't have to worry about it going anywhere it shouldn't.
Before you sit down to play at just any one of the hundreds of gambling sites on the net catering to Canadians, think about this. Would you eat at any restaurant, just because they welcome Canadians? Would you choose just any bar just because Canucks are welcome? Would you shop at any clothing store, just because they have a maple leaf in the window? Of course you wouldn't. You want the best there is.
When it comes to Online Gambling in Canada we would suggest that when looking around for a gambling site at which to sign up to and play at you at the very least make sure that site offers you all of the following different features. By doing so you will have an enjoyable gambling experience and will have one that you wish to return to time and time again.
Most top casinos online run a loyalty club where members collect points each time they play games. These points can later be exchanged for rewards to use at the casino itself. Some sites automatically enrol their members; others require you to opt in. So before you start playing make sure you're eligible for the loyalty scheme so you don't lost player points.
E-wallet sites are also popular for online gambling in Canada. Sites like InstaDebit allow you to manage all of your Canadian gambling funds from a single account, simplifying the process of moving money from one online gambling site to another. Finally, prepaid options like PaySafeCard can often be used if you prefer to avoid sharing financial details online.

FUPC Supports Canopy
Canopy NWA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to welcoming refugees to Northwest Arkansas. Since 2016, Canopy has welcomed people from around the world, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Syria, and Ukraine. Now with a staff of 32, the group is united in the desire to provide refugees with a good, safe home here in Northwest Arkansas and the understanding that NWA will be a stronger, more diverse community thanks to these new neighbors.
Canopy provides services and support for individuals and families, helping them find housing, connect with local resources, and begin their new lives in our community. Part of the process is connecting the new households with a Cosponsor team — a group of six to eight local people who are the first friends the new residents make here in Northwest Arkansas.
Several members of FUPC attended a cosponsorship training with Canopy last week: participants were Ron Woodruff, Dennis and Elizabeth Nelson, Rebecca Haden, and Leigh Woodruff. We have signed up to form a cosponsor team. Canopy will assign a new household to us. We hope to bring the congregation together to welcome our new Northwest Arkansas neighbors.
Who are refugees?
Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their original home countries because they face persecution on the basis of their membership in a particular nationality, religion, race, or social group. It is a legal designation. People must apply for refugee status and the process of gaining this status and permission to come to the United States can take years.
Everyone helped by Canopy has already been recognized as a refugee.
What services does Canopy provide?
Through the Reception and Placement program, Canopy provides all newly arriving refugee families with intensive case management and financial support for their first 90 days in the United States. Many households are also eligible for the Matching Grant Program, which extends these services up to 180 days.
Specifically, Canopy helps with the following needs:
Securing permanent safe and affordable housing
Applying for social security and public benefits
Enrolling family members in school
Accessing healthcare for all members of the family
Job training and securing employment
Cultural orientation classes
Navigating Northwest Arkansas
At the end of this resettlement period, the goal is that all families will be financially self-sufficient.
Each Cosponsor team helps to furnish an apartment for a family. You may have new or gently used items to donate to the family we're assigned to help.
Once the family arrives, we will get to know them and help them get to know their new home and community. You may choose to help with transportation, to visit the family or to invite them to visit you, or to give them an opportunity to practice their English.
Please contact Rob Button or Dennis Nelson if you'd like to join the effort!

U Penn Takes Communications to the Cloud
Utah State Overhauls Wireless Infrastructure
Utah State University has gradually upgraded its wireless infrastructure and stuck with the same vendor it chose back in 2007 for a campus-wide wireless deployment. The 400-acre campus now has about a thousand Meru Networks AP320i access points to support its 27,000 students and staff members at six campuses. The network supports as many as 7,000 unique devices in a day and up to 4,000 simultaneous users at a given moment. In other Meru news, the company has announced several new products in its networking line.
"I fully expect our wireless network to carry the majority of traffic across our campuses within the next five years," said Eric Hawley, vice president of IT. "It is essential for us to deliver seamless mobility today and set in place future capacity to accommodate our rapidly growing student population and the vast number of different devices they'll use to access our network."
Hawley said that a broad evaluation of vendor options concluded that Meru's approach for virtualizing wireless network access addressed the university's current and future needs, "while helping us meet the demand cost effectively." He added that the company's hardware has enabled the institution to expand wireless coverage "by an order of magnitude and reduced our network management overhead."
This week Meru introduced new access points, controllers, an upgrade of its wireless operating system, and a new guest access technology based on a recently acquired product line.
The AP433i and AP433e access points have three radios with capacity for a fourth one, and an internal and external antenna, respectively. The AP 433is has dual three-stream 11n radios and one dedicated radio frequency sensor for spectrum analysis to detect, report, and react to WiFi and non-WiFi interference. The sensor is an option on the other access points. The AP400 line was first announced in the spring.
The new controllers--the MC3200 and MC4200--improve on the scale and capacity of existing Meru controllers. The MC4200 offers dual 10 gigabits per second interfaces or four 1 Gbps interfaces. This 2U device supports up to 500 access points. The MC3200, a 1U device, has four 1 Gbps interfaces and supports up to 200 access points.
Both new controllers run the latest version of Meru's operating system, System Director. Version 5 of the operating system was redesigned to address the particular needs of dense environments with a multitude of different kinds of devices.
"Increasing demands on the WLAN, particularly in the form of users bringing their own (and often multiple) devices for use in the enterprise point to the need for the architectural and management innovations--like System Director 5--that have been the hallmark of Meru's products from the start," said Craig Mathias, a principal with wireless and mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group.
Meru also introduced Meru Smart Connect, based on guest management technology acquired when the company bought Identity Networks in September. The product, available in a virtual edition or an appliance, manages guest IT policies and lets non-IT staff set up guest access to the wired and wireless network. It also provides audit and reporting capabilities to address potential compliance requirements.


After much consideration and discussion with my Nabtron team i finally decided to moved the blog part of Nabtron to the main domain too while conserving the official Nabtron homepage too.
Now when you open up Nabtron.com you will see the homepage to be explaining about our services of webdevelopment, seo and graphics design and the menu links related to services, about us, portfolio and contact us page. However the right side bar on homepage is different from blog side bar abit as it only contains links to 2 recent articles and 2 recent comments on the blog. This way is also keeps the blog part of the domain active.
Some more modifications including the website layout are expected soon.
I m following ur blog for a long time, congratulations for a new n crispier interface.
Thanks for appreciation . . . you will be seeing few more modifications in near future inshaAllah.


The "Left" is all who work in the direction of Communism, either by revolution or by democracy (Socialism). This applies in any country. This applies even if they do not envision or advocate the end goal of Communism. They are still working in the direction of Communism.
The Left always advocates bigger government, higher taxes, more money given to poor people, and more government ownership and control of business and education and everything else.
The "Right" is all who oppose the Left.
The Communist Manifesto is a clarion call for wholesale murder and larceny.
Communism is a clarion call for confiscation of all businesses by the government.
These false, destructive, and evil doctrines have the total support of the three great power centers in the world – Russia, China, and most importantly, the Great Conspiracy of the Super Rich.
Therefore, the entire world has been heavily polarized into those who are buying into these false doctrines, and those who are retaining their good sense and resisting them.
The "Left" is those who are buying into these false doctrines, at least in part.
The "Right" is those who value their freedom and are resisting these false doctrines.
The simplest way to control a politician is to give him money. If you are Super Rich, then you have plenty of money.
It is said that prostitution is the oldest profession. Almost as old is the routine, ordinary, and usual practice of blackmailing politicians. Just file away all the dirt you can find on every politician in sight. The more dirt you have, the more they will cooperate. If you want more dirt, send in some beautiful women.
Someone who gets seriously out of line, or threatens to, can simply be killed.
We're talking about conquering the world, and starting wars which kill millions or tens of millions. We certainly won't have a problem with blackmail, extortion, and murder. All very routine. All part of a day's work.
Much better is we just get our own people elected. Or appointed. They've been working for us all along. They just do what we tell them. We're all just one big happy family. We live well, because there is plenty of money to go around, from banks, from giant corporations, and from the government.
We handle elections by controlling all the political parties, and in particular the Democrats and the Republicans. All the candidates are working for us. We can't lose!
PREMISE: THE LEFT WORKS TO INCREASE THE SIZE AND POWER AND INCOME OF GOVERNMENT.
That's what they believe in as Socialists.
That's what Marx calls for in the Communist Manifesto – either by Revolution or by Democracy and Socialism.
That's their cure for the problems caused by rich people. Give all power and wealth to the government. The government will protect us from rich people. The government can be trusted.
PREMISE: THE SUPER RICH CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT.
Leftists go on and on about how evil corporations control the government.
The Left believes that the warmongering of the government is to make money for the oil companies and for other giant corporations. That is their explanation for why America goes out and makes war in so many different places.
CONCLUSION: THE LEFT WORKS TO INCREASE THE SIZE AND POWER AND INCOME OF THE SUPER RICH.
But rich people are the enemy. Capitalists are the enemy. So why does the Left work so hard to make the Super Rich even richer and more powerful?
This is a huge monster trick. A mammoth betrayal.
The entire world has been taught to hate rich people. The world has also been taught that the solution to rich people is that the government should own everything. As a result, the Left, which has immense power all over the world, works constantly to increase the size and power and income of government. That's just what the Super Rich people want.
The Left works to destroy rich people, but only succeeds in destroying moderately or slightly rich people. The Super Rich people are untouched. That's just what the Super Rich people want. The Super Rich don't want any competition. They want all power, all control, and all wealth, for themselves only.
The Left around the world longs for and works for World War III to destroy America. That's just what the Super Rich people want. They have been building up the power of nations that hate America ever since World War II.
The Left believes that they can trust the government. This is not true.
The government is controlled by the Great Conspiracy of the Super Rich.
The solution is not to give all wealth and power to the government. That is what the Left wants. That is what the Conspiracy wants.
The solution is not to make war against America. That is what the Left wants. That is what the Conspiracy wants.
The solution is to expose and to uproot the Conspiracy. The solution is to discover and to remove from government all agents of the Conspiracy and all servants of the Conspiracy. The solution is to completely destroy the Conspiracy.
This is the correct solution. This is the only solution.

ALL ABOUT HAZARD
Posted on April 25, 2013 February 2, 2017 by isport
Signed from the French club Lille in the summer for around £32 million, Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard has managed to establish himself as one of the important members of the squad over the last few months.
Even though Hazard had an impressive start to the Premier league career, he was somewhat overshadowed by the problems surrounding the striker Fernando Torres. During the first half of the season, Hazard primarily contributed to the team in the way of assists. However, the last few months have been excellent for the 22-year-old in terms of goals as well.
He is now being taken more seriously, and there have been comparisons with Hazard becoming the next Ronaldo of the Premier league. The player has said that his game has changed since signing for Chelsea in the summer. He has said that he has managed to become more consistent than in the past in such a way that there have not been a criticism that he has had a bad game. The midfielder has said that he expected the Premier league to be a much bigger physical challenge, but he has said that it is only on par with the French league.
Hazard has eight league goals to his name, while also contributing numerous assists as well.
"What has improved the most since I've been at Chelsea? My steadiness. I've failed in a few matches but I've never heard 'Hazard has been hopeless.' I've had a lot of good matches this term. I thought it would be tougher physically but in Ligue 1 it is tough too. I've taken fewer blows in Premier League. Maybe they are more violent, so I try to avoid challenges! Anyway I am happy," said Hazard. The trio of Eden Hazard, Oscar, and Juan Mata are expected to be the best in the Premier league in the next few years.
TORRES NOT AT HIS BEST
Competition good for Fernando Torres

Iowa (1-0, 0-0 Big Ten)
Kinnick Stadium, 3:30 p.m. ET
→ Ball State started the post-Keith Wenning era with a 30-10 win at home over Colgate. The Cardinals scored 10 points in each of the first three quarters while holding the Raiders to one TD during that span and a field goal in the final stanza.
The Cardinals' strong suit was running the football as they totaled 311 yards on the ground. Senior Horatio Banks (5-8, 200) averaged 10.3 ypc with 134 yards on 13 carries. Classmate Jahwan Edwards (5-10, 219) added 109 yards and one touchdown on 22 rushes.

Junior quarterback Ozzie Mann completed 20 of 32 for 203 yards and two TDs with one interception as BSU gained 203 yards through the air.
Ball State racked up 514 yards of total offense and recorded 29 first downs to just nine first downs and 227 total yards for the Raiders.
→ Iowa was pressed in a 31-23 win over Northern Iowa last week. It was a 24-23 contest with the Hawkeyes holding a slim lead in the fourth quarter. Jake Rudock found Damond Powell on a 12-yard TD toss with 6:50 remaining to make it an eight-point Iowa win.
Rudock, a 6-3, 208-pound junior who started all 13 games in 2013, completed 31 of 41 for 250 yards and two TDs with no interceptions for the Hawkeyes. Thirteen Hawkeyes had at least one catch in the opener. Keyonte Martin-Manley (8) and TE Jake Duzey (7) accounted for nearly half of the team's 31 receptions.
Iowa's run game accounted for 151 of the Hawkeyes 401 yards. The 36 carries were spread out over seven players, with Mark Weisman leading in rushes with 10 (34 yards).
Thanks to some big plays (e.g. David Johnson's 70-yard TD reception), Northern Iowa actually had more total yardage (405-401). However, Iowa doubled UNI in first downs, 26-13.
→ This is the third meeting between the two teams in football. Iowa leads the series, 2-0. The last meeting was a 45-0 Iowa victory on Sept. 23, 2010.
→ Ben Ingle, who led BSU with 116 tackles in 2013 got off to another good start with a team-high 11 tackles vs. Colegate.

Borealises came about because of the amount of light pollution we have in my hometown of Anchorage. During the winter, an unending wealth of it obscures the northern lights. It has become rare to actually see the aurora from the city limits. The original idea was to make all of the circumpolar north's space weather systems visible through a handheld computer or smart phone, that could by-pass all of the light pollution and noise from the cities. One of those old digitally remixed get-back-to-nature-through-handhelds chestnuts (sometimes it is pretty hard for me to refer to space weather and plasma as 'natural'). I like to think of the Borealises as the totally heavy metal weather graphics of some arcane level in a video game nobody plays anymore but still remembers the code how to get there.

Most athletes are susceptible to some injury during the game. Injuries vary from minor strains and sprains to more serious ligament or muscle tears. For soccer players, knee injuries in soccer game can be a nightmare.
A knee injury can take up to one year to heal which will force the player to be on the sideline for the entire time. It's for this reason that players, coaches, club physicians and managers would do anything to prevent such a catastrophe. There are three major knee injuries that soccer players fall victim.
Medial Collateral Ligament Injury: this injury happens when a player is hit from the outer side causing the knee joint to continue rotating while the leg cannot extend for a long distance inwards. MCL injuries mostly need a leg brace and a lot of rest for recovering. Surgery may only be required where the MCL has been detached.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: This injury happens when a player is hit at the front part of the knee while it's bent. It's considered a minor injury and will often heal on its own.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: This is a severe knee injury that happens when a player lands clumsily when he is changing direction. This injury is so severe that the player may take up to 12 months to recuperate. If the players ACL is torn or ruptured, they will require a reconstruction surgery.
While most professional soccer players understand that daily life harmless activities can greatly impact the health of their knee, armature players don't take proactive steps to protect themselves.
The most effective way to prevent a serious knee injury is to empower your knees. When you have strong leg muscles and can maintain adequate neuromuscular control, you will withstand the thrust and cut of a competitive soccer game and your knee will escape twists or stretches that can lead to a career or fun-threatening injury.
As a soccer player, warming up is a part of getting ready for the game. However, before you begin any rigorous warm-up activities as is the tradition with any match or training it's important to take time to stretch the tendons and muscles attached to your knees. Begin by jogging gently before doing start-stop sprinting. You can also follow queue from your coach and other players and do safe stretching exercise for the hamstrings, inner thigh, hip flexor and the calf. All these muscles work in unity to promote the integrity and health of your knees.
You should include some controlled exercise as part of your routine for strengthening your knees. Exercise like scissor jumps, lateral hops, hopping over training cones, and walking lunges can all help in making your knees stronger. You can build the strength further by carrying out shuttle runs using slalom poles, hurdles, and agility ladders. The most important thing while doing knee conditioning exercise is to listen to your body. Don't perform strenuous activities and avoid running on pavements and roads where possible.
Maintaining flexibility and strength on the lower part of your body is important when you want to curb your knees from potentially serious injury. Of even greater importance, however, is care about your overall health. Eat healthy, drink a lot of water and avoid carrying overload objects.
There is a high tendency for ignoring minor knee injuries among soccer players. Most players will continue playing albeit with fast aid until the season is over before undertaking a full recovery. If you can take some time off the field, it's advised that you do so because the excellent health of your knee supports a good performance in the field. The following tips can help you maximize your recovery time.
There are non-steroidal over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin that are both painkillers and anti-inflammatory. Consult your pharmacist or doctor and follow their instruction on taking these drugs. The dosage for many of these is usually less than 10 days.
Many tie a knee injury will be accompanied by inflammation in the connective tissues around the knee joints or in the muscles. Cold-compress therapy includes the use of cold wraps around your knee, hip or ankle. The wraps compress the area that has been injured and the cold water helps reduce inflammation. This is way better than using ice packs alone for 20 minutes or taking an ice bath.
You obviously can't rest enough during the season so take advantage of the offseason to give your damaged tissue sufficient healing time. There are some players who feel that their body is crumbling if they don't perform a mild exercise of some sort even for a few days. In this case resort to low-impact exercise that doesn't strain your injured muscles and joints.
Minor soccer knee injuries will eventually heal without any assistance. For more serious injuries it helps to get the assistance of a physical therapist who can monitor the healing process. A professional physical therapist will show you useful stretching and be strengthening exercises that will not only quicken your knee healing but will also curb you from experiencing similar injuries in the future.
A dedicated soccer player should never stop training unless they are confirmed to a wheelchair, and even then you can do mild training. Training helps keep your fitness level in check, so if your injury is minor you can continue doing low-impact sports like cycling and swimming. These will help with your cardiovascular fitness which will help you transition easily to more active soccer activities lie pivoting, jumping and running when you get back on the season.
There are all types of braces for soccer players today. Some of the braces will protect you from server knee injuries while others are helpful in keeping your knee stable to quicken the healing process.

You don't have to dig deep to see that Gainesville's soil is ripe with growth.
The show attracted more than 200 people and raised $1,060 to go toward opening a community-owned grocery store in Gainesville, said Robert Matrone, cinema manager at the Hippodrome State Theatre.
« Food, Inc. » is a 30-minute documentary that details the negative health effects of hormone-injected meats, pesticide-sprayed fruits and vegetables, the increasing number of food-related E.Coli and obesity cases and the detrimental effect that our industrial food market has on smaller farms and communities.
The Co-op also held a food expo in connection with « Food, Inc. » More than 10 vendors sold their home-grown products from Gainesville, Micanopy, Melrose, Ocala and other surrounding areas. There was a showcase of plants and herbs, including included shiitake mushrooms, ginger roots, peppermint, unpasteurized milk, sweet habanero peppers, rosemary and soap made from goat milk.
James Steele, owner of The Herb Garden Nursery in Melrose, has been growing fruits and herbs for culinary and medicinal purposes for more than 40 years. He used his knowledge and resources to create www.gainesvillefarmfresh.com, a networking site for those interested in growing, producing or purchasing locally home-grown products.
Five members are needed to commit to a location and building for the community grocery market, which would distribute fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, eggs, meat, seafood and herbs on a weekly basis. There were more than 400 members at the event.
Membership is $100 and gives partial ownership to the store, meaning that you get a say with the board of directors, what items are to be placed on shelves, and at the end of the year, all the profits get redistributed back to the owners. If 500 members join, the Co-op will open the community-owned grocery store in the fall of 2010.

More Coronavirus Relief On The Way
Covid-19 Relief | Dec 30, 2020
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Act) was signed into law on December 27, 2020. In addition to funding the federal government, the Act introduced several different COVID-19 relief measures.
Here are some key highlights:
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
The Act provided additional funding to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and opened the program back up for new loans. In addition, borrowers who meet certain criteria can take an additional loan up to $2 million, termed a "second draw."
In order to qualify for a second draw, an employer must:
Employ 300 or fewer employees; and
Can document at least a 25% revenue decline in any quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of 2019; and
Must use the full disbursement of their first PPP loan on or before the disbursement of their second draw.
Second draw loan amounts are calculated on the same basis as the original PPP loans – up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll costs in the one year prior to the loan, capped at $2 million.
But for businesses in the Accommodation and Food Services sector (NAICS code 72; typically hotels and restaurants), they can borrow up to 3.5 times their average monthly payroll costs.
For a borrower to obtain full forgiveness, they still must use 60% of the loan on payroll costs. They can spend the remaining 40% on qualified business expenses during the covered period.
The Act expanded qualified, non-payroll business expenses to include the following:
Operation expenditures for any software, cloud computing, and other human resources or accounting needs.
Costs related to property damage caused by public disturbances in 2020 that are not covered by insurance.
Costs to a supplier under a contract, purchase order, or order for goods in effect prior to taking out a loan that were essential to the borrower's operations at the time the expenditure was made.
Worker protection expenditures including payments for personal protective equipment (PPE) and other investments made to help a borrower comply with federal, state, and local health and safety guidelines.
Families First Coronavirus Response Act Paid Sick and Family Leave
For qualifying businesses, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) introduced expanded FMLA and emergency paid sick leave for employees impacted by COVID-19. In turn, the FFCRA provided impacted employers with offsetting tax credits.
Originally, these tax credits were set to expire on December 31, 2020. The Act extends the tax credits through March 31, 2021.
However, it does not extend the mandate for employers to provide expanded FMLA and emergency paid sick leave for employees impacted by COVID-19.
For those employers that continue to offer the qualified FFCRA leave to their employees, the tax credits remain available until March 31, 2021.
Social Security Tax Deferral Repayment Deadline
On August 8th, President Trump signed a memorandum that allowed employers to defer withholding the employee's share of Social Security tax. Originally, employees would have to repay the withheld tax between January and April 2021.
The Act extends the deadline for employees to repay the deferred tax to December 2021.
This relief package includes other measures that may be relevant to your business and/or employees – such as the ability for individuals to roll over unused FSA funds from 2020 to 2021 and from 2021 to 2022. You should consult with your legal and financial advisors about which relief provisions apply to you and how best to make the most of them.
Disclaimer: This is simply a summary of some provisions contained with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. This does not constitute legal advice. Always check with your own legal and/or financial advisors as to how this law and others may apply to you or your business.

This hypothesis is supported by experimental and clinical evidence suggesting that chronic intermittent hypoxia, a hallmark phenotype of OSA, may enhance the sensitivity to the analgesic and respiratory-depressant effects of opioids.9 -15 Furthermore, retrospective analyses of life-threatening opioid-related respiratory events in the context of postoperative analgesia have shown that obesity, somnolence and OSA diagnosis were common among afflicted patients.6,7,16,17 Although hypoxemia due to opioid use in the immediate and short-term postoperative period is common and persistent,18 -20 the incidence of life-threatening opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) is very low,21 suggesting that if OSA, a common and highly heterogeneous condition,22 -24 is a risk factor for OIRD, then certain OSA patients might be at relatively greater risk than others for this potentially lethal complication.

Women's Basketball Falls To Southern Maine, 75-71
Final Stats
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's basketball team lost a nail-biter to visiting Southern Maine, 75-71, in the first game of a Little East Conference doubleheader at the Tripp Athletic Center Saturday.
The victory was a milestone for the Huskies as it marked the 600th career win for USM head coach Gary Fifield in his 24 seasons with the team.
The Corsairs, playing without starting forward Colleen Moriarty (Canton, MA/Canton HS) due to injury, led 39-38 at intermission paced by 16 points from junior guard Erica Batchelder (Stoughton, MA/Stoughton HS/Salem State), including four three-pointers. UMass Dartmouth continued to lead through much of the beginning of the second half, building a 53-47 advantage with 12:12 remaining off a three-pointer by senior guard Stephanie Houtman (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS/Bridgewater State). But, the Huskies would mount a charge, going on a 13-1 run in the next four minutes to erase the deficit and build an eight-point lead at 62-54 capped off by a three-pointer by sophomore guard Erin McNamara (West Newbury, MA/Pentucket Regional).
Houtman, who was honored prior to the game on Senior Day, rallied the Corsairs, connecting on back to back threes, cutting the Huskies' lead to 65-63 with 5:16 to go. The Corsairs would find themselves down just a single point after sophomore forward Erika Bornemann (Canton, MA/Canton HS) connected on a layup at 70-69. The UMD defense answered the bell on the Huskies ensuing possession and the Corsairs had a chance to take the lead on the next possession. Batchelder would miss from outside but followed her shot and was fouled by USM senior forward Courtney Cochran (Waite, ME/Woodland), who was whistled for a flagrant elbow, giving Batchelder two free throws and UMD the ball. Batchelder would make both attempts, giving UMD the lead, 71-70, but it would be the last points scored by the Corsairs. They turned it over on their next possession, leading to a layup by USM junior guard Jordan Grant (Concord, NH/Concord HS) with 49 seconds to play. Corsair freshman forward Kelsey Garrity was called for an offensive foul on the ensuing possession and then committed a defensive foul, sending McNamara to the line, where she made both shots. Grant would account for the final score, making one of two from the stripe with just four seconds remaining.
"This was a Herculean effort by our team as it really was a David vs Goliath situation," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Amanda Van Voorhis. "I think we made a statement that we can play against anyone in the conference. They beat us up inside and obviously it hurt not having Colleen. We are excited about what we've accomplished this year and even more excited about what is to come."
The Corsairs were led by Houtman, who capped Senior Day off with a game-high 22 points. Batchelder had 21 points and Bornemann recorded a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 19 rebounds. The Huskies had three players in double-digits. Junior forward Haley Jordan (Falmouth, ME/Falmouth) had a team-high 20 points, Cochran had a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards and senior guard Nicole Garland (Portland, ME/Deering) chipped in with 12 points.
The Corsairs dropped to 15-10 and 6-8 in the Little East Conference with the defeat, while the Huskies improved to 20-5 and 11-3 in LEC play with the victory. The Corsairs will visit Western Connecticut Tuesday night in a first round game in the LEC playoffs. Southern Maine advances to the LEC Final Four at Rhode Island College next weekend.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy season 2 trailer is here
Machinima has posted a trailer for the upcoming second season of the popular web series.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy was an incredible series, depicting the origin stories of several of Mortal Kombat's most famous fighters across 9 webisodes. Despite a lack of financial backing from Warner Bros. (though the studio did give permission to use the MK IP), the series gathered some surprising talent, including Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan (as Jax and Sonya, respectively).
With over 60 million views, the short series (in total: about the length of a feature film) was one of the most successful ever. Now, for the second season, Warner Bros. is on board for production and financial help, and the story of Mortal Kombat will continue as more of the famous fighters are introduced. Machinima will continue to serve as distribution partner.
This trailer shows off some of the new characters and new talent that the second season will bring:
Most notable appearance there is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who is reprising his role as Shang Tsung, which he also played in the films Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation back in the 90s. He takes over the role from Johnson Phan, who played the part in the first season. We also see Brian Tee as Liu Kang and Mark Dacascos as Kung Lao.
The production values look just as great as the first season, but the quality is still up in the air, as the original director of the series is only helping with this second season, as his time has been split between this project and the development of a new Mortal Kombat film reboot over at Warner Bros.
No word if that film will be related to the universe created by Legacy, or if it will start another new tangential story-line. Oren Uziel, who wrote the original short film that Legacy is based on, will be penning the film, though he had no hand in the creation of Legacy. So likely, the new film will be an extension of that original short, ignoring most of what Legacy already extrapolated. Hopefully, the canon won't become so confused that it puts fans off.
There is no release date yet for Mortal Kombat: Legacy season 2, but with post-production wrapping up, it will likely be in the next few months. The new Mortal Kombat film reboot is still in development, and will likely not be ready until 2016, even if there are no delays to the process.

Q: How to select an anchor element based on some text in the URL? I tried this:
var els = document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="dabbing-through-the-snow"]')

There are 36 elements on the page with links like this one:

https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/3298777-funny-maltese-dabbing-through-the-snow-dab-christm?store_id=138163.

However, my code selected all the links on the page, I think.
How to ONLY select the links that have the text, for example, dabbing-through-the-snow?

A: You can use document.querySelectorAll([attribute*=value]) to select all elements with the attribute containing the value string, so your code should be correct.

var els = document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="dabbing-through-the-snow"]');
var anchors = document.querySelectorAll('a');
console.log("Anchors:", anchors.length, "Matched Anchors:", els.length);
1
2

You may also want to traverse through all the anchor elements with a for loop if you have more complicated criteria.

var anchors = document.querySelectorAll("a");
var href = "dabbing-through-the-snow";
var found = [];

for (var i = 0; i < anchors.length; i++) {
  if (anchors[i].href.includes(href)) {
    found.push(anchors[i]);
  }
}
console.log("Anchors:", anchors.length, "Matched Anchors:", found.length);
1
2

A: You can try following code to get href with string :
const $aHref = $("a").filter((index, value) => $(value).attr('href').match(/\/dabbing-through-the-snow\//));
const urlString = $.map($aHref, data => $(data).attr('href'));
console.log(urlString);

The Walking Dead: The Final Season – Episode One "Done Running" Review
Jordan Biordi
Well, we've finally made it. It's been a long six years, but the beginning of the end of Telltale's The Walking Dead is in sight. It genuinely does feel like the end of an era; Telltale reignited the "point-and-click" with a modern reimagining of the genre, and using a massively popular franchise like The Walking Dead felt like such an obvious move it was a wonder no one had done it before.
If you read my reviews for Season Three, you'll know I was burnt out on Telltale's The Walking Dead, so my excitement for the final season was somewhat middling. For the most part, I haven't thought these were bad games, but they've been so familiar in formula that completing the final season felt like something I should do since I've come this far. Fortunately, it has seemingly saved the best for last, and rekindled my interest in the franchise's story.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season Episode One "Done Running" – Photo Thanks to TellTale Games
Episode One of The Final Season picks up with Clementine, now in her late teens and raising AJ as her surrogate son. After an attempt to scavenge some food from a train station ticket booth goes awry, Clem and AJ find themselves in the care of Marlon and his group of teens who have been surviving on their own within the safety of a boarding school. An encounter with a lone raider reveals dark truths and hard choices must be made; if you've played any season up to this one, then you know what to expect.
What immediately makes me enjoy this season more than the last is the return of Clementine as the focal character. What's more is the way the Final Season comes full circle to the first through Alvin Jr—much like how Lee's choices determined the kind of person Clem would become, so too do Clem's choices shape AJ's character. The idea of taking on a parental role during a zombie apocalypse is so much more interesting than the hacky romance melodrama of Season Three, and is far more engaging.
Visually, the game is probably the best it's ever looked; it uses an interesting monochromatic style for background art that evokes the style of Robert Kirkman's comics more than any previous entry. Character models look great, and unlike the previous season, Episode One had no graphical glitches, bad lip assignments or any poor production values. And while it should go without saying, the sound design is incredible— with amazing music to perfectly compliment each scene, and the continued stellar voice work of Melissa Hutchison as Clementine.
However, The Final Season isn't without faults. Much like the problems I had with Season Three, it definitely feels like a lot of the familiar beats are being tread yet again. Initially, I had thought that having a group of kids and young teens might make for some interesting story-arcs and character building. Much of the dialogue and melodrama feels similar what you would get from any of these games, regardless of the character's ages.
The game also suffers from some odd gameplay mechanics that, while initially interesting, run incredibly counter to what we've learned and come to expect in a series with three seasons behind it. When encountering zombies, players have the option to kill one immediately, or incapacitate it first. In theory, this makes sense, given Clem's smaller stature and the in-game prompt claims that it's useful for controlling large groups of zombies, however in practice it's little more than Dragon's Lair gameplay as choosing to kill when you were supposed to incapacitate will result in instant death. Also, when encountering multiple zombies, it's pretty comical how during the animation for incapacitation, other zombies will just patiently wait while you stun then kill the zombie in-front, seriously breaking the immersion.
The oddest choice is the removal of the "counter" during tense/dangerous situations. In preceding games, the edges of the screen would become red, signifying to the player how close they were to losing a dangerous encounter. For whatever reason, that has been removed from The Final Season, so there were a few times when I was suddenly killed in an encounter because I had no idea how much time I had to get out of the mess I was in. I get how this could have been a stylistic choice that contributes to the immersion and bolsters the idea of how important thinking and acting fast in this game is. However, most of the time it was just annoying you're killed without warning and have to restart from the beginning of the scene.
However, despite some minor flaws, Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season is off to a great start. The return to Clementine's perspective makes the story far more engaging, with great character interaction, and I'm genuinely interested in seeing where this goes and how it ends.

Lohne/Saerbeck, 14 December 2017 – The market presence of biogas plant builder EnviTec Biogas is progressing by leaps and bounds in China. EnviTec is enjoying particular success with its innovative EnviThan gas upgrading technology in the Far East. With the completion of the first biogas plant plus gas upgrading in the province of Hebei in northern China, the German biogas all-rounder has finished its third successful plant construction project in the People's Republic – and a fourth project is now underway.
"For our customer Dingzhou Sifang Leo Livestock Science and Technology Co. Ltd., the newly commissioned plant in Dingzhou, Hebei province is a lighthouse project for the entire region," says Jörg Fischer, CFO of EnviTec Biogas AG, which is based in Lohne/Saerbeck, Germany. Operated using cattle slurry and corn stover/silage, the plant was constructed and commissioned by EnviTec in just six months.
"Construction was naturally preceded by a detailed planning phase," explains project manager Andreas Bosse, who was responsible for the completion of the plant with an overall output of around 13.500.000 Nm³ of raw gas per year. "All of the biogas plant and EnviThan gas upgrading components were manufactured at our Saerbeck site and packed into containers for shipping by sea," Bosse continues. The six digesters needed by the plant were poured by a local concrete works. "Our customer's detailed planning work meant that implementation was easy to manage – including the intercultural aspects," Bosse adds. The team at Dingzhou Sifang Leo Livestock Science and Technology Co. Ltd. translated all of the EnviTec planning documents into Chinese within its own design unit.
"Importantly, this biogas plant was intended from the start as a flagship project," says Bosse. The adjoining Visitor Centre, including lab and central control room, has been designed and built to ensure that visitors can view the mixing line and technical systems via a glass-walled corridor and tunnel. The biomethane produced is filled as compressed natural gas (CNG) into a CNG trailer for subsequent distribution as a fuel.
In the port city of Yantai in eastern China, another EnviThan plant completed by EnviTec earlier this year is already successfully supplying a local filling station. "Our customer there, Shandong Minhe Biological Sci-tech Co. Ltd, supplies the raw gas from the existing biogas plant," explains Stefan Laumann, Head of Gas Upgrading at EnviTec's plant construction division. The CNG plant installed onsite compresses the biomethane from around 13.5 bar to 200 bar in a CNG tube trailer. "In Yantai, CNG is mostly used by cars," Laumann continues.
In China, CNG is very much a growth market. "Together with our sales partner, we now have four employees in China at the moment, busy handling the large number of enquiries," CFO Fischer reports, noting that China is increasingly turning to renewables as its megacities start to choke on the smoke from its power stations. "The situation's similar in rural areas, as local farmers simply burn what's left after the harvest," Fischer explains. EnviTec is now looking to establish a Chinese joint venture company, whose future activities will largely involve handling local after-sales service.
The new business model is intended to promote the use of biogas as a fuel in the transport sector as bio-CNG (compressed natural gas from biomethane). This gives EnviTec as a plant engineering firm as well as operators of biogas and gas upgrading plants the option of further refining the biomethane they produce and utilising this as a fuel. To promote this integrated approach, EnviTec signed a cooperative agreement at the start of this year with BAUER Kompressoren, an established supplier of components for CNG plants. EnviTec Anlagenbau integrates these components into the project-specific design tailored to the respective requirements.


The classic hike in Phoenix, Camelback Mountain. I can't guess how many people hike it each day but at least a hundred. I drove my wife and daughter from Oro Valley to Phoenix so they could catch a flight back to Ohio and so, while up there, why not do Camelback? Although I have not hiked it in probably 10 years, I have hiked it around 15 times (I used to come out here on business frequently).
From the parking lot, I could see many people streaming up or down the opening ascent. I found a web site where people post their hike times and it looked like 17 minutes was tops for this slightly over one mile hike. I hoped to break 30 minutes and shoved off on the very steep hike that gains around 1300'.
....Tucson area although here in Oro Valley and Marana, just northwest of Tucson, business is booming while the mountains look on and beckon to me. Hmmmmm, what to do on Sunday?

Tamela Mann Once Revealed How Being Overweight Almost Disrupted Her Career as a Gospel Singer
By Mary Scott
https://news.amomama.com/147972-tamela-mann-once-revealed-how-being-over.html
Tamela Mann has undoubtedly made a mark in Hollywood and the music industry, but her achievements almost did not become a reality, no thanks to her former weight. She once opened up about the issue.
Most people began to notice Tamela when she appeared in several Tyler Perry movies, often alongside her husband, David Mann, but the gospel singer has been doing her thing as far back as the '90s.
In a 2016 Twitter chat, Tamela, who has one of the most captivating voices of all time, revealed that her talent was not enough to give her the big break she wanted.
After someone asked: "What are some of the struggles you faced when entering the gospel music genre?" the Grammy winner responded:
"One of the main struggles is my weight! I've always been good enough to be heard but not seen."
Tamela, 52, would later embark on a weight loss journey; she announced the result during a 2014 appearance on "Tom Joyner Morning Show" as reported by CP.
'It would be great to be an encouragement to somebody else and not just to help myself get over this journey.'
"I've lost over 100 pounds," the singer and actress said. "I used to be a 30/32, and now I'm at an 18/20."
Tamela's resolve to lose weight was likely strengthened by her husband's Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis in 2007. David's condition meant he had to adopt a healthy lifestyle which includes his diet, but Tamela must have realized prevention is the best cure.
"For me, I just have to get my mind right, set mind and body," she told Diabetes Forecast in 2014. "I don't have issues with diabetes or hypertension, but I don't want it to happen."
The lovebirds, who star in their own reality series, have now taken to helping each other on their healthy living journey. They even appear to have influenced their daughter, Tia, who has been flaunting slimmer curves on social media.
Still, in line with her goal, Tamela signed on as the new celebrity ambassador for WW (the new Weight Watchers), a brand that "aims to make wellness accessible to all by helping millions of people adopt healthy habits for real life."
Speaking to ESSENCE about her decision, the "Meet The Browns" star said:

Doctors Told Randy Travis' Wife to Let Go, but She Chose to Save Her Husband's Life
"It would be great to be an encouragement to somebody else and not just to help myself get over this journey I've been struggling with my whole life. …I'm really excited about the lifestyle change."
Tamela and David, 52, have been married for over 30 years and have two children together, David Jr and Tia. The couple also raised Porcia and Tiffany, David's daughters from a previous relationship, and Sonya, Tamela's niece.

Topaz Tangaroa:
challenging project, brilliant result
Five Cat engines, two ports, one coronavirus
COMPLETE REVISION
A challenging job, in several locations
"During the work, some damage to the camshafts of the two C32s on board was discovered. "Pon Power repaired this damage under warranty, so the project was not delayed," says Frederik Sorhaug. Adding with satisfaction: "All in all, the team just delivered really good work. A challenging job, in several locations, subject to all the coronavirus restrictions and with some unforeseen additional work. And all within planning and budget. In short, a job well done!"
FACTS &
overhaul tight and compact
Using Cat guidelines (re-use and salvage guidelines), we established the state of wear parts and only replaced parts if that was strictly necessary, to keep the overhaul as tight and compact as possible. However, the situation was complicated because the ship needed to be mobilised during the work. Destination: Rotterdam. There we continued a top-end overhaul of the C3512.
logistic puzzle
Challenge number two, the different locations of the ship, mainly created a logistic puzzle. Aarssen explains: "The work started in Harlingen, where we began with the overhaul of the two C3516s. We serviced the cylinder heads and turbo chargers in our own 5-star platinum
workplace in Papendrecht. We overhauled all the components for this job. This meant that nothing needed to be shipped to the US, which meant an enormous reduction in CO2 emissions in this project. Additionally, this resulted in significant cost savings.
Now that might sound relatively straightforward, but the project involved various issues. Such as the coronavirus, which was raging through the country at the time, creating issues for personal safety. Furthermore, the Tangaroa needed to be in different Dutch ports during the standby window. This produced an interesting puzzle. Jan Aarssen, Account Manager Product Support at Pon Power, explains: "To start with coronavirus: at Pon Power, we have a strict safety protocol. That requires engineers to work in set pairs, always keeping a distance and not coming in direct contact with the crew of the ship. That protocol was stringently followed on the Tangaroa too. During the work, our engineers Werner Schipper and Pascal Soonius lived and worked in their own bubble, completely apart from the crew. Fortunately, the Tangaroa has a hyper modern, spacious engine room, so there was no problem maintaining social distancing."

"Our engineers lived and worked in their own bubble, completely separated from the crew"
OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION VESSEL
The Topaz Tangaroa is an impressive ship. Everything about the 98-metre-long ship breathes heavy-duty functionality, not least because of the helipad which is located just above the bridge on the bow. And that word heavy duty also applies to the use of the Tangaroa. The ship was delivered in 2019 and has since been almost constantly in operation.
Fredrik Sorhaug, Fleet Superintendent Subsea at P&O Maritime Logistics/Topaz Energy and Maritime Limited explains: "The Tangaroa is an offshore construction vessel. On board, it has an arsenal of tools and equipment for repairs, maintenance and underwater investigation. Since its delivery, the Tangaroa has been in use 24/7, 365 days a year, so the engines were ready for an overhaul. We decided to use the standby window, the winter, for this."

"Pon Power repaired this damage under warranty, so the project was not delayed"
Every technical job is different. Sometimes a simple routine job can create enormous problems. At other times, an extensive and challenging project can go extremely smoothly. This was the case for the work on the engines of the Topaz Tangaroa. Motorennieuws investigated.
