Baseball may be America's past time, but there was a nation-wide excitement for the return of NFL Sunday's this past week. And I know that Opening Day in baseball is huge, but there really is nothing like the first Sunday of NFL football every year.
Week 1 means so much to the psyche of every single team yet it so often means absolutely nothing for how each team's season will work. There have been some really good teams in years past who lost their week 1 matchup; this is the same for this year as well.
Some of the top teams who were favored to contend for a Super Bowl title this year came up short in their first game this past Sunday, including the Falcons, Packers, Giants, and the defending champion Ravens (who lost the NFL opener on Thursday).
While at the same time there were teams who did exactly what they were expected to do, and that was lose their first game. Teams like the Browns who are an astounding 1-14 in their last 15 season openers and the Raiders and Jaguars who all continued their struggles. In fact, the entire AFC North lost their first game this week.
It will be interesting to see how well Adrian Peterson can continue his incredible form from last season into this new season. He said that he is going to try his best and beat the record he came so close to beating last year, and on the first carry of the season it seemed pretty good for him, a standard 78-yard touchdown run from the defending NFL MVP – nothing new in Minnesota.
Although the Lions did do a good job of limiting Peterson to just 93 yards rushing as they went on to their 34-24 win.
This season will come with many surprises just like every other season. So to end the suspense I want to go ahead and give my selections on who will be in the Super Bowl come February.
There are a handful of good teams in the NFC who are more than capable of earning their spot in the Super Bowl, but I personally have a problem with the 49er's being given the NFC already, a lot of the game's top analysts are predicting San Francisco to be in the Super Bowl again, but I just don't think it is that easy for them.
Don't get me wrong, the 49er's are a great team, but they don't have it easy at all. The NFC is very talented and they themselves have to deal with the Seahawks who are also a contender within their own division.
On top of that you have teams like the Packers, Giants, Cowboys, Saints, and my team to win the NFC this year, the Atlanta Falcons. And trust me, I am by no means a Falcons fan, but I truly believe they will figure out their game and become the best team in the NFC.
In the AFC I found it much easier to make a decision, and unfortunately I am picking a team that so many others are also choosing to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. But when you look at the AFC I just don't know if there is going to be a better team this year than the Denver Broncos.
The Patriots are still very capable of getting back to the big game and the Ravens are still dangerous as well. Houston is still incredibly talented and will put up a fight, but at the end of the day I don't think any other team in the AFC will be able to compete with Denver.
This sets up a potential Super Bowl matchup between the Falcons and the Broncos, a matchup that some chose last season.
These types of predictions usually don't go the way you want, but if these two teams do meet in February I find it hard to believe that Peyton Manning wouldn't find a way to get his second ring — much to the dismay of all my Falcons friends.

Origin and geochemical evolution of saline groundwater in the Brisbane coastal plain, Australia
Aro V. Arakel*, W. F. Ridley
Fresh, brackish and saline groundwaters of variable acidity and redox potentials occur in a coastal floodplain area, north of the Brisbane River in Southeast Queensland, Australia. The complicated spatial and vertical distribution of these groundwaters, and their tendency towards a seawater chemistry, reflect that the local groundwater system has undergone repeated episodes of hydrological adjustments in response to Quaternary sea-level fluctuations and coastal landscape modifications. Since the last major Holocene transgression, topographic changes have permitted repetition of evaporative concentration, aeration and acidification processes in near-surface groundwaters. The surface and subsurface occurrences of gypsum, pyrite and jarosite minerals, in the Brisbane coastal plain, testify to the intrinsic relationship between sea-level and topographic variations, and hydrogeochemistry of the local groundwater system.

How many people have just recently become passionate about politics?
I've never really been very involved but the thought of Sarah Palin as VP scares me so much that I've become very involved. Mostly out of fear for the country.
« Why should anyone "respect the office" of the President or any other political office?
3 Responses to How many people have just recently become passionate about politics?
I have yes, Last time I voted not so much. I know more about the issues and how to argue the points better, people who aren't educated on this just follow what they see on the presidential nominee tv ads, or lies that they heard or stuff that hasn't even got to do with the issues.
These are the things Obama learned from his spiritual mentor. The argument cannot be made that he does not agree with these teachings, because he was a member at that church for 19 years.
Now you relly have something to fear!
We are very concerned about the nation. We have seen our civil liberties trashed in the name of patriotism. We have seen the National debt soar to 9.6 Trillion. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. We have a Medicare system that by law prohibits negotiation of lower costs. We see major corporations making outrageous profits while getting government handouts of tax payer money. The wealthiest get huge tax breaks while the middle class gets the crumbs. This administration is based on government for the elite.
What amazes me the most is the amount of support I see for this bunch of crooks on Yahoo.
Gladiator you are a seriously off topic, brainwashed freak that sounds like a bigot.


when trying to pair wm713 mouse, it asks for a paring code, WHY?
I have the drivers installed and try and pair the mouse, I can see it and select it, but then it asks for a pairing code. I didn't think mice had pairing codes. Why is it doing this? It worked before, but then I had to reset windows because it all of a sudden did not like my nvidia card.

Google drawings are a great way to create content to share with students, but why stop there? Have students create content for you! The great thing about Google drawings is that they are stored in your Google drive, so once you have made one, you can share it, update it, and upload it wherever you want; any changes you make later will automatically update.
Create Venn diagrams and other mind maps/graphic organizer. If you use these often, consider making some templates.
Make comic strips by inserting photos and adding speech bubbles. Students of all ages love to show what they know with comics. Comics can also be a great way for you to introduce a lesson topic.
Help ELL or foreign language students learn vocabulary or prepositions by asking them to rearrange labeled furniture on a floor plan according to specific verbal or written directions.
Visual vocabulary: Have students create a picture or symbol that helps them remember/understand the meaning of vocabulary words and insert it into a spreadsheet along with the definition of the word and perhaps an example sentence.

Johnny Mercer, say people who knew him, was a lovely, lovely man but a mean drunk. Hey, he hung with Billie Holiday, which is more than I can say. I would love to have done the work he did (just to have written "Glow Worm"!), but if there is anything a shade irritating about his mellifluous-yet-friendly singing accent, it is that he seems to be rather too comfortably putting on a tinge of minstrelish blackness.

The web news video show Huffington Post Rise recently profiled AdaptNY's Harlem Heat Project in a two-and-a-half-minute video that features an interviews with participants from our community-based partner in the project.
In the clip, West Harlem resident Shaun Williams, who hosts one of our heat index sensors in his home, shares his experience of high heat. Also, Huffington Post spoke with policy expert Aurash Kharwarzad of our partner WE ACT for Environmental Justice. Kharwarzad explains the urban heat island effect and its health impacts on city residents, as well as the workings of the sensor and our participatory research project, and possible solutions to the heat challenge.
Harlem Heat Project partners stopped by WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show on July 8, to discuss the news initiative and to stress that extreme heat is not just an inconvenience, but a serious public health issue that will be worsened by climate change.
Vive L'AdaptNY – Our Roadshow in Quebec!
The AdaptNY project got some great attention again this year at the biggest annual gathering of journalism educators, held in early August in the francophone city of Montreal.
It was a year ago today that former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg issued the city's roadmap for how to adapt to the future risks of climate change – a massive post-Sandy report called A Stronger, More Resilient New York.
To track relevant reporting and information through our social "front page" and Twitter.
To document and report the story, including with a major investigative report in partnership with Gotham Gazette and ongoing collection of primary-source materials.
One way we started this process a year ago was by working to analyze that 438-page Bloomberg resiliency report. With the aid of sister publication City Atlas, last summer we rolled out a series of summaries that we hoped would make it possible to quickly take in its most important findings and recommendations.
But we didn't stop there. We wanted to keep putting the city's planning under close scrutiny so it could be better understood and improved upon. To do that, we asked your help and made it easy for you to weigh in with your views. With partner DocumentCloud, we developed an innovative way for you to make your own notes directly on the Bloomberg report. Here's more about how our public annotation system works.
It's easy to share your thoughts – just go to the resilience plan, log in using one of your usual social networks and let everyone know what you think!
We continue to develop new ways for you to take part in the conversation, and to let the current de Blasio administration hear your voice about this all-important issue. In the near future, for instance, we hope to introduce a new and improved version of our document annotation tool, as we continue to track reports and initiatives from City Hall, such as updates on the ailing Build It Back housing recovery program, or annual reports on resilience planning. Watch this space for more news.
Make your voice heard on the climate adaptation debate. The future of our city depends on it.
Design thinking, like that used in the AdaptNY workshop on Feb. 22, may be an unfamiliar term but the process behind it will be familiar to many journalists. It's a series of steps that takes an idea to a fully realized product, kind of like taking a story from a pitch to a fully reported, finished piece.
The process, as defined by Stanford University's d.school, involves five steps: empathize, define, ideate, prototype and test. They have a handy guide, the Bootcamp Bootleg, that explains their approach to design thinking and offers helpful tools for each step.
AdaptNY is partnering with the Online News Association and the Center for Community and Ethnic Media to offer an all-day workshop Feb. 22, aiming to use the innovative techniques of design thinking to help media and communities improve how they tell stories and share information about climate resilience.
The workshop will get off the ground with a power panel of top-flight climate experts from the worlds of journalism, science, government and environmental advocacy, addressing the problems of adapting to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather.
Then throughout the day, usability experts and coaches, including from pioneering media firm Digital First, will guide participants through a process of understanding what their users need, brainstorming solutions and sharing them for feedback from other workshop attendees.
The conference is hosted by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in mid-town Manhattan, and the $10 registration fee will include meals and a closing happy hour.


Dangdut is a new genre of music introduced by Rhoma Irama, Indonesian popular musician who was the Legendary dangdut singer in the 1970s era until now. The expression of Rhoma Irama's lyric has themes of the human being, the way of life, love, law and human right, tradition, social equality, and Islamic messages. But interestingly, the song lyrics were written by Rhoma Irama in the 1970s were mostly on the love song themes. In order to prove this, it is necessary to identify the songs through several approaches to explore the selected word and the relationship between word pairs. If each Rhoma Irama's lyric is identified in text mining field, the lyric text extraction will be an interesting knowledge pattern. We collected the lyric from web were used as datasets, and then we have done the data extraction to store the component of lyric including the part and line of the song. We successfully applied the most word frequencies in the form of data visualization including bar chart, word cloud, term frequency-inverse document frequency, and network graph. As a results, several word pairs that often was used by Rhoma Irama in writing his song including heart-love (19 lines), heart-longing (13 lines), heart-beloved (12 lines), love-beloved (12 lines), love-longing (11 lines).


Each of us have obstacles we encounter in our day-to-day lives and sometimes we can feel alone if we're unable to resolve them. Teens, especially, may feel overwhelmed. Here are six great TED Talks that discuss overcoming obstacles, which you can use to inspire your teen to face their challenges head-on.
Poet Shane Koyczan shares what it's like to be bullied through his story of growing up. He talks about defining ourselves and how the labels that others impose on us can shape our attitudes.
Eleanor Longden was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and she lived with fear and resistance to the voices she heard in her head. She was put on medication and ultimately neglected, but eventually empowered herself to understand that the voices in her head weren't enemies. After overcoming those hurdles, she has now become a research psychologist.
Many people living with depression don't feel as though they can reach out to others. Instead, they believe they need to keep up appearances. That's what Kevin Breel talks about in his TED Talk—how he felt like he was living two lives as he was on the honor roll and captain of the basketball team during high school, even though he was battling with depression at the same time.
Sometimes we get so focused on where we're heading and what our goals are that we forget about the journey along the way. In this TED Talk, record-setting long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad tells the epic story of her 100-mile swim from Cuba to Florida. She failed four times, but finally made it with the help of the expert team behind her.
In 2008, Ananda Shankar Jayant was diagnosed with cancer. In this TED Talk, she tells her personal story of not only facing the disease but dancing through it, and gives a performance revealing the metaphor of strength that helped her do it.
When she was a child, Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism, but she strongly believes the world needs all different kinds of minds to work together.For her Ted Talk, she shares how she thinks in pictures and how that was an asset in her career designing livestock facilities. She also discusses three kinds of minds and the need to develop those minds, especially in schools.

Article 81 of the Mental Hygiene Law (MHL) sets out the procedure for the appointment of personal needs and property management guardians. A guardian appointed pursuant to article 81 has statutory duties to file both initial and annual reports to the Court containing details relevant to the guardianship. The MHL requires that those reports be examined by a person known as a "court examiner." For example, the statute requires that a guardian's annual report must be examined by a court examiner within thirty days of its filing to determine the condition and care of the incapacitated person, the finances of that person, and the manner in which the guardian has carried out his or her duties. Court examiners have various powers enumerated in the MHL, including the power to examine the guardian and other witnesses under oath and reduce their testimony to writing.
Appointment as a court examiner is governed by Part 36 of the Rules of the Chief Judge (see 22 NYCRR Part 36). Applicants for appointment as a court examiner must first be approved by the Appellate Division. Applications for court examiner appointments will be forwarded by the Office of Court Administration to the appropriate Appellate Division(s) for review and approval. Further instructions to serve in that capacity are detailed at www.nycourts.gov/ip/gfs, where you may also find an application form and Frequently Asked Questions.
Prior to filing the application, a prospective court examiner must complete a certified training program, which includes viewing a set of training DVDs entitled, "A Continuing Legal Education Program for Court Examiners," a series of seminars providing an overview of all aspects of the court examiner's role under article 81 which was recorded at a live program in May 2012.

STMicroelectronics H9A CMOS process now available for prototyping
March 11, 2013	ICs & Semiconductors 919 Views
STMicroelectronics and CMP (Circuits Multi Projects) have announced that ST's H9A CMOS process (at 130nm lithography node), which offers a large panel of analogue and digital devices, is now available for prototyping to universities, research labs and design companies through the silicon brokerage services provided by CMP. The diffusion of the silicon wafers will take place at the ST plant in Rousset, near Aix-en-Provence (France).
ST is releasing this process technology to third parties as a foundry service for a well-established analogue platform and for new developments in the More than Moore applications such as energy harvesting, autonomous intelligence, and home-automation integrated systems.
The introduction in CMP's catalogue of ST's H9A (and its derivative H9A_EH) process builds on the collaboration that has allowed universities and design firms to access leading-edge and previous CMOS generations including 28nm CMOS, 45nm (introduced in 2008), 65nm (introduced in 2006), 90nm (introduced in 2004), and 130nm (introduced in 2003) through the ST Site of Crolles.
CMP's clients also have access to 28nm FD-SOI, 65nm SOI and 130nm SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator), as well as 130nm SiGe processes from STMicroelectronics.
More than 200 universities and companies have received the design rules and design kits for the ST 65nm bulk and SOI CMOS processes. Since CMP started offering the ST 28nm CMOS bulk technology in 2011, some 100+ universities and microelectronics companies have received the design rules and design kits, and 30+ integrated circuits (ICs) have already been manufactured. Since CMP introduced the 28nm FD-SOI, 30+ universities and microelectronics companies have received the design rules and design kits.
"There has been a great interest in designing ICs using these processes, with about 300 projects having been designed in 90nm (phased out in 2009), and more than 350 already in bulk 65nm," said Bernard Courtois, Director of CMP. "In addition, more than 60 projects have already been designed in 65nm SOI and many top universities in Europe, USA/Canada and Asia have already taken advantage of the collaboration between CMP and ST."
The CMP multi-project wafer service allows organisations to obtain small quantities–typically from a few dozens to a few thousand units–of advanced ICs. H9A design rules and design kits are now available for universities and microelectronics companies and the first requests are already being answered. A run is forecast for September 2013 to carry the first contributions.
ST will propose ULP/ULQC devices (Ultra Low Power, Ultra Low Quiescent Current) in the next Design Kit (DK) generations as this is a requirement for harvesting low-energy sources and for long-life autonomous intelligent systems. One of the world's most advanced 200mm wafer plants, ST's Rousset site has become a center of excellence that provides a technology designed for low consumption and slow duty cycles and attracts innovating contributions and collaborations from the academic research environment While providing additional features in the near future, compatibility with current DK and process will be granted regardless of the technology evolutions in order to keep a stable offer and allow medium- and long-term planning to interested universities and design firms.

It's another February and time for another spotlight on some more Black owned businesses. While I focused soley on my clothing addiction with all Black owned clothing stores last year, this year the spotlight will take a look at amazing Black owned businesses of all kinds. I've ordered products from each of these businesses and verified their legit-ness and their greatness, and now I spread the knowledge of these businesses to you. Click on the links in the descriptions to visit the stores, and as always, feel free to share the existence of these businesses and support these budding (and in some cases thriving) entrepreneurs!
First up is the store Own Your Blackness. Like many of the stores from last year, OYB is dedicated to promoting pride in one's skin; several of this store's many unique designs show a love of melanin and blackness that you just can't get in a run of the mill store. OYB offers clothes for everyone; even babies can start to see their worth with their onesies. To top it all off, OYB supports other artists by offering them the opportunity to design clothing to be sold by their store. Overall, OYB is a great place to shop to show the world how much you value that priceless melanin you were blessed with.
Keeping with the clothing store theme, next we have the Hillman Bookstore. Yes, you read that right. You may not be able to attend the fictional Hillman College from "A Different World", but you can still visit their bookstore and pick up on a few things. The owner(s) of this store decided after a trip to NBC studios that Hillman was too influential to not have its own merchandise, and the bookstore was first opened. In addition to Hillman shirts in long and short sleeves and various colors, the store also has a few other products to show your support of classic Black culture, including Dwayne Wayne's infamous flip up glasses. Like the HBCU it is named after, the Hillman Bookstore spends a lot of time teaching the public about HBCU excellence and encouraging Black collegiates to succeed. Visit the store and get your acceptance letter today.
And now for something completely different. Mouton Noir and Fou-Dre are, respectively, Black owned wine and vodka brands sold both in stores and online. Believe it or not, Black owned liquor companies and vineyards are quite popular with these two just being two examples. Mouton Noir is a fairly cheap wine that can be sent to various states and bought nationwide (try Love Drunk. You'll be drunk in love and hate). Fou-Dre is more expensive, but very much worth it. Smooth and a good mixer; this liquor is worth it if for nothing else but the bottle. (I mean, look at it! It's AMAZING). Be sure to check out these two liquor companies: alcohol is a very lucrative business, and considering the wealth in owning a vineyard we have to make sure these two continue for years to come. Just make sure that you don't try to buy it until you're of age.
Another product you have to be of a certain age (or at least a certain hair length) to use is the Bevel razor. Tristan Walker's product has been endorsed by several different big name media personalities and websites and for good reason: it's a great razor. Advertised as the first and only razor specially designed to help reduce razor bumps and irritation, the Bevel razor is also designed especially for course and curly hair. The stylish product package comes with monthly refills and a guide to help give the user the best shave. Bevel's product lines continue to expand and being that I use this razor myself I can attest to its usefulness. Just make sure not to apply pressure when it warns you not to...
Anyone can enjoy the products of this next artist and business owner. Kashmir Thompson of the Kashmir VIII art store creVIIIs (that's a test of your Roman numeral knowledge lol) some of the most eye catching art you will see outside of an African American history museum. Kashmir's artwork takes popular classic Black shows (like "A Different World", "Martin", and "The Fresh Prince") and movies (like "Coming to America", "Juice", and "Do the Right Thing") and turns scenes and characters into beautiful pieces in her own style. Some clothing versions of her art can be found at OYB, and she frequently creVIIIs clutches, bags, and other items for her own store. You know you're doing something right when you can inspire people like Deray and the people in your art to buy it, so Kashmir is DEFINITELY doing right.
The Hue-Man Bookstore has a long and detailed history. Marva Allen is the current owner of the online bookstore, and a former co-owner of the infamous store that, when it was in Harlem, was regarded as one of the top Black bookstores in the country. Despite having hosted the likes of everyone from Toni Morrison to Alicia Keys, the physical store closed in 2012. But rather than give up, Allen decided to move online, and now Hue-Man continues to bring a vast array of books for and about Black people to your doorstep. The store still does pop-up events in Harlem for new and established authors to sign and sell books, so as long as there are those willing to support Black authors stores like Hue-Man will be around to support them.
Last but certainly not least is a service that could likely encompass all the others under this spotlight. Ujamaa Box is a monthly subscription service that introduces you to various Black owned businesses by sending you a...well...box of their products. Founder Ebony Costain was inspired by her entrepreneur parents and one family's journey to buy Black for one year to create a service that makes learning about and supporting Black businesses a little easier. Each month you'll get several different products tailored towards your interests so that you can expose yourself to the many large and small Black owned businesses in the world. Considering that the service takes its name from the Kwanzaa principle on "Cooperative Economics" and that it supports dozens of other businesses, this new service is a welcome addition to the list of notable Black businesses.

There's no way to get around it: You have to eat. But what you eat every day can directly impact how you feel and how healthy you are. For example—smaller portions and exercise? Those are great for you. Drinking lots of water? That's a good idea, too.
But all of those good steps can be for naught if you focus on eating an over-abundance of unhealthy carbs and foods that are high in sugar and fat. Those will make you feel sluggish and will quite likely lead to weight gain.
So now think about vegetables and fruit: Increasing produce is one of the simplest ways you can use to improve your health and your cooking. But upping vegetables can feel like a more difficult healthful task to tackle. But there's one idea that's easy, tasteful, and nutritious, too: vegetable noodles.
Vegetable noodles are simply fresh produce that you transform into pasta. Of course, you might object—what can replace pasta, right? But vegetable noodles are remarkably adaptable to all sorts of dietary and recipe needs. And you can take nearly any time of firm vegetable and turn it into skinny or flat (or in-between) noodle-like shapes.
There's another bonus, too: Most pasta tastes the same. But many vegetables turned into pasta have their own subtle flavors that adds to the dish. And you can use lots of flavorful veggies, from sweet potatoes to squash to really any firmer produce, so that you can boost your nutritional intake. And vegetable noodles can be made in a variety of plate-pleasing shapes, too.
You can invest in a simple spiralizer to create veggie noodles, or you can craft them using an inexpensive grater, too—a good step if you're trying to figure out if these are for you or not. Ready for more ideas and recipes? Enjoy our tips in this graphic.

Deloitte Case Study | Vena Solutions: FP&A software that works the way you think.
One of the world's largest financial services and consulting firms had portions of their organization manually budgeting their revenue and expense planning by distributing and receiving Excel templates from different departments. Vena automated the process and reduced months of tedious manual work that Deloitte's finance team had to perform.
Deloitte's Finance team was experiencing issues with email overload and version control. There was a lack of formal workflow that made it difficult for finance managers to track the status of each user-end task without exchanging emails and phone calls.
In addition the finance team also had to manually map different accounts across every GL over a span of several days, this left little or no time for discussion or analysis.
Vena eliminated the need for the Finance team to perform hours of tedious manual work every month. Vena's central database seamlessly syncs with the company's multiple GL systems, while dynamic native Microsoft Excel® templates are automatically updated every time a change is made to the source data. Now Deloitte's finance team doesn't need to spend time and resources mapping different accounts across GL accounts because of Vena's automatic mapping functionality. Vena's powerful workflow engine and audit trail also gave managers control and insight into every task in their revenue and expense planning process.


Using longitudinal household data and an econometric model of conditional poverty transitions, this paper contributes to the growing literature on poverty dynamics in Australian households. The results reveal that a range of household head, partner and demographic characteristics in addition to life-changing events have an impact on both the likelihood of remaining poor and slipping into poverty. These findings have important implications for Australian policymakers: tertiary education and employment are key factors in keeping households out of poverty; having a disability increases the probability of becoming poor and remaining in such a situation; households in outer-regional or remote areas are more likely to become poor and continue to live under such hardship; and finally, life-changing events, especially becoming separated, can lead households into persistent poverty. These results are robust to a range of poverty definitions. By drawing on research that utilizes such longitudinal data, policymakers will be much better informed about the drivers of material deprivation in Australia and subsequently how best to design policies that target and support the most vulnerable households.

Comprehensive M&A data with integrated detailed company information
Shiseido falls over Drunk Elephant in USD 845mn deal
Posted on Wednesday, 09 October 2019 10:49
Japanese makeup, skincare and fragrance company Shiseido has reached an agreement to acquire fast-growing skincare brand Drunk Elephant for USD 845.00 million.
The buyer plans to fund the deal using a combination of cash on hand and bank borrowings, with the addition of the target to significantly expand its global portfolio and presence.
Founded in 2013 by Tiffany Masterson, Drunk Elephant has gained a significant following from Generation Z and Millennials over recent years and is a popular brand among social media influences.
The company uses biocompatible ingredients that directly benefit the skin's health and support the integrity and effectiveness of the formulations.
Drunk Elephant will be able to leverage Shiseido's global platform and resources to expand into new and existing markets both in the US and internationally.
Masterson is expected to continue in her role as creative chief and assume an additional title of president, following completion.
Closing is scheduled for the end of the year and remains subject to regulatory approvals.
In January this year, the Wall Street Journal reported Drunk Elephant could be exploring a sale in hopes of fetching a USD 1.00 billion valuation.
Four months later, the Sunday Telegraph observed that Unilever may be interested in the skincare brand.
Drunk Elephant has an impressive growth trajectory, according to Shiseido, and is well position to achieve sales in excess of USD 100.00 million in 2019.
Zephyr, the M&A database published by Bureau van Dijk, shows there have been 224 deals targeting toilet preparation manufacturers announced worldwide in 2019 to date.
The acquisition of Drunk Elephant by Shiseido is the tenth-largest of these, with the number one transaction by value involving Natura Holding buying Avon Products for USD 4.23 billion.
Unilever sold a 3.0 per cent interest to Norges Bank for EUR 2.38 billion in the second-biggest deal, which is followed by General Atlantic agreeing to pick up a majority stake in Morphe Holdings for USD 2.00 billion.
Other targets have included Coty, Laboratoires Filorga's skincare activities, Fancl and Elemis.

I have been in search for a better hair styling tools for a while and have tried different brands in the market. But I've always had my eyes on the NuMe Styling Tools probably because most the popular YouTube guru's talked about it a lot!
I've purchased one a couple of years back when they had an awesome sale of 50% off on any curling wands. I was really interested with their Classic Wand Reverse so I had to grab the opportunity and bought one for myself. It retails for $79.00 plus shipping but I got it for only $39.00 with free shipping! What a bargain right?
I just found out last night that they are currently hosting the same deal as before so if you are interested, go check this page out and you might find one that you've been looking for. This promo ends tomorrow March 6, 2016.
I have my eyes on this 32MM Magic Wand and who knows I might snag one too!

El comtat d'Atuyer fou una jurisdicció feudal del Ducat de Borgonya integrada al ducat després d'un temps de tenir comtes privatius. El primer comte conegut fou Guiu, fill d'Amadeu (mort després del 827) que tenia terres a la regió i era vassall del bisbe de Langres. Va deixar dos fills:
 Ansquer que fou comte d'Oscheret i conseller del rei Bosó de Provença i va patrocinar a Guiu de Spoleto com a candidat a rei de França en oposició a Carles el Simple (que havia deixat Borgonya als normands després del 884); va acompanyar a Guiu a Itàlia de retorn quan fou elegit Odó de França el 888 i va restar el seu conseller sent nomenat marquès d'Ivrea morint abans del març del 902.
 El segon fill fou Guiu esmentat com a comte d'Atuyer, mort en batalla prop del riu Trebbia el 889.

Després apareix Hug II de Dijon esmentat fins al 1043 i que era també comte d'Atuyer i senyor de Beaumont. De la seva esposa Ermengarda van néixer quatre fill dels que Hug III fou comte d'Atuyer; va deixar un fill mascle, Ulric, que és esmentat el 1043 quan encara era comte el seu pare. Un germà d'Hug III, apareix com a Gebuí d'Atuyer sense constar que fos comte i va deixar un fill anomenat Hug d'Atuyer. Dos altres germans d'Hug III s'esmenten com Narduñí i Guiu d'Atuyer però tampoc apareix el títol comtal. El comtat d'Atuyer fou incorporat al ducat de Borgonya en aquest temps.

Besides the noise and confusion, the swoosh and roar of the subway trains, Toronto Transit workers suffer an even more mind-warping job stress: the number of locals who try to end their lives on those ominous tracks. Torontonians know little about subway suicides because, as a rule, the media, police and TTC do not publicize the tragedies. But Ontario Coroner's figures suggest there have been between eight and 22 subterranean suicides in the past four years. Less known but more alarming are the number of failed attempts.
Shockingly, perhaps partly because discussion of the subject has been taboo, the transit system has no prevention plan in place other than emergency stop buttons and video cameras to monitor platforms. But the TTC drivers and staffers who have been regular unwilling spectators to the terrible happenings have now become the impetus for a brave new movement to establish barriers.
Every day, Wayne Moore hopes it won't happen again. In his 28 years as a TTC subway operator, he's been involved in 13 subway suicides. In 1999 alone, three people were crushed by Moore's train. While the first incident involved a man who fell to the track after suffering a heart attack, the second and third were suicides, leaving Moore so badly shaken he needed muscle relaxants to sleep. "But other drivers have had it worse," he says. "Some have seen as many as 25 or 26 suicides in a 30-year career."
Although the exact number is unclear, Bruce Bryer, a TTC ticket agent for 23 years, says that on average one person jumps every week. "Something needs to be done, because we can't ignore it any longer," he says.
TTC media relations officer Marilyn Bolton won't confirm the number of suicides, for fear, she says, of glamourizing the idea. She has a point, says Paul Links, chair of suicide studies at the U of T. "There is significant evidence that reporting on individual suicides can put vulnerable people at risk and lead to copycat suicides."
By withholding the facts, however, the TTC is putting up "a wall of silence," says Bryer. After a number of his letters were ignored by the commission, Bryer helped the Citizens Transportation Alliance pen a proposal for barriers. The group of engineers and planners established in 1997 to find solutions to Toronto's transport problems will formally introduce the proposal to the TTC on June 15.
It's just after evening rush hour when Bryer enters Kennedy subway station to demonstrate his proposal to James Alcock, chair of the Citizens Transportation Alliance. The ticket agent, recognizing Bryer without his burgundy uniform, lets them pass. They walk downstairs to the train platform, straight to the end wall. A train enters the station and Bryer measures the 7- metre distance from the entry wall to the rear of the last subway car door, which he identifies as the "jump zone." When jumpers hide behind the wall where the train enters the station, he says, their suicide attempts are most likely to succeed. It's impossible for drivers to see the jumpers in time to slow down. Standing just past the jump zone, Bryer explains that a 7-metre-long, 4-metre-high plexiglas barrier would force people to stand farther from the wall, giving drivers a chance to stop.
Bryer and Alcock calculate that each barrier would cost about $50,000. Two barriers per station, times 60 stations, totals $6 million, a figure that both argue is reasonable.
Besides the costs of construction, Bryer also considers the indirect costs of subway suicides and attempted suicides, which are substantial. Besides delays in service, a large number of people are involved, including police, coroners, maintenance staff, paramedics, counsellors, TTC personnel and hospital staff to care for survivors.
The Schizophrenia Society of Ontario, which helped spearhead the campaign to put suicide barriers along Bloor Street's Prince Edward Viaduct, is familiar with the human costs.
Based strictly on statistical data, there is an even more pressing need for barriers in subway stations than there was for the bridge. The Society estimates that approximately 400 people have jumped off the Viaduct since its construction in 1919, an average of about five suicides per year. But there have been over 100 subway suicides in the last decade alone.
Ursula Lipski, policy and research coordinator for the Society, says she can't comment on suicide barriers in subway stations in particular. She does say that when people who want to commit suicide have a particular plan and find they can't execute it, they usually don't have an alternative scheme. Erecting a barrier in a particular location can deter follow-through. In these circumstances, she says, "it is less likely they're going to do it somewhere else."
Canada isn't alone in being worried about this issue. A 2002 study on railway safety in England found that about 200 people commit suicide annually on the country's railways, costing the industry approximately £300 million a year, including 2,000 days off a year for staff suffering from trauma-related sickness. The report suggested putting up fencing or barriers at platform ends and providing more and better fencing on bridge parapets. The Jubilee Line extension in London, for example, incorporated a glass barrier with doors that runs the length of the platform.
TTC chair Howard Moscoe doesn't want to sound insensitive, but says $6 million is too much money - money the TTC doesn't have - to consider the proposal seriously.
Moscoe says he's not against experimenting. "If they find the barriers workable and successful, then we can look into investing more over time," he says.
"To me, anything is worth a try," says Moore. "As a person who's seen it, it scares the heck out of me. I want to believe it won't happen again."

SLOUCH POTATO: Reality TV Round-Up
Tom Pheby takes a look at some of the weird and wonderful reality offerings on multi-channel TV...
SHIPPING WARS UK
It seems that if a man starts bashing a tambourine in Times Square, it won't be long before a man shakes his maracas in Milton Keynes. TV is so bereft of original ideas that formats are prostituted back and forth across the pond between the US and UK without a hint of embarrassment. But just lately this has been noticeably one way traffic, with the blatant use of 'UK' in the main titles.
Shipping Wars UK introduces a group of very English idiots to the thriving transportation business. We meet Laurie, a very petite and slightly naive trucker. Russell, who resembles Mr Potato Head and is also known as the pukka trucker, perhaps because his waistline is full of pies. Shehbaz, a break dancing enthusiast who's name sounds like a Israeli wizards spell or a limescale cleaner. Stu and Jemma, the couple who's permanent love nest includes a steering wheel and a horn. Raymond and Grant, a Scottish father and son team who will ship anything for the price of an egg and bacon butty. And last but not least, Rachel and Rolf, the truckers equivalent of Motorhead.
They all go online to bid for loads and try to undercut each other to win "trucker of the week", but to do that they need maximum customer feedback and full payment, which is then calculated per mile. So it's exactly the same as the US version I hear you say! Well, that's where you are wrong. The Americans, for the most part, seem capable of achieving the task in hand, whereas the British version makes you wonder if the UK counterparts are even capable of maneuvering a melon into a hat box.
As if to illustrate this, Scottish brick tops Raymond and Grant agree to ship 300,000 bees to a new location for £100, but they take an additional load of circus posters which they can drop off on route. Unfortunately, neither had a calculator to hand during the bidding war and they ended up making 42 pence per mile between the two of them.
Richard Branson can rest easy in his bed knowing his business empire is not under immediate threat from these two blundering Celts. Russell even mused that he could've earned more money with a paper round. So you surely wont be shocked to find they came third after they were beaten to second spot by Stu and Jemma, who nervously transported a boat over 300 miles. Nabbing first place was the dizzy Laurie who miraculously shipped two carved wooden Gruffalos weighing a tonne and a half each to two different locations.
Meanwhile, Raymond and Grant managed to lose the odd bee on route, lucky for them the recipient wasn't in the frame of mind to count them.
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE CLEANERS
It appears that being phenomenally untidy and generally filthy is great material for TV. If you're one of those people who has made their vacuum cleaners obsolete or chosen to banish the humble cleaning cloth then fear not as there are others that will comfortably spend the entirety of their day preventing germs from bedding in and even gathering up dust before it has the temerity to settle.
One such dirt Avenger is Louise (33) who spends up to 6 hours a day cleaning in the home she shares with her husband and nine Children. NINE Children? Well, she does have another hobby then.
In fact, Louise, a driven and slightly sharp individual, mentions her offspring at regular intervals to almost underline that 'if she has the time to clean, everyone should have the time'. Yes, this female gestating machine takes no prisoners in terms of squalor and frowns upon those that don't have the same high standards.
This leads me nicely to Paula, a 44 year old wife and mother from Portugal who now lives in Wokingham with a host of cats, food bowls and a stack of litter trays that seem to be in every room. The cats appear to be prolific... each tray brimming with what resembles Aldi muesli.
It's not long before Louise and Paula clash.
"Everywhere you go there's cat shit."
Louise said incredulously.
"Not everywhere."
Paula retorted (one sensed she was a bit of a frustrated comedian). Well, yes it was Paula. Just like your child's toys which were covering every carpet as far as the eye could see. Louise was reaching the limits of her limited patience.
"I've got nine children and..."
...She was off! Using the volume of offspring from her sexual escapades as an example of time management and cleaning schedules. When she noticed a washing basket brimming with clothes and a secondary pile nearby that was too exhausted and heavy with dirt to clamber into the receptacle, Louise asked why they were on the floor. Dissatisfied with the answer...
"I've got nine children and...."
This was becoming more annoying than Paula's lack of hygiene. It wouldn't have surprised me if Louise had given birth to another child during the cleaning regime just so she could really prove her argument!
We moved on to meet Tom (30) who spends 15 hours a week cleaning his house and car. He showed us his gleaming sink that looked like a mirror, and his vacuum that had its own cover to keep dust particles at bay and which broke EU rules by being too powerful. Call the appliance police, we've got ourselves a ruthless sucker!
And then... we see the 'show bin'. What's one of those I hear you cry? It's a bin that is too good to be used and lives in a cupboard. Mmmm, Tom's not really firing on all his highly polished cylinders is he?
Off he goes to meet Gareth (42) who uses his vacuum as a foot-stall and the floor as a waste bin to such a degree that he has to gingerly plot a path over the debris to enter and exit the lounge. If only he could have prised himself off his chubby cheeks to find the genuine bin, he might not been on the verge of breaking his neck every time he had to open the door or go to the toilet.
Gareth had food in storage that was a discovered to be nine years out of date (one year for every one of Paula's children), but he remained unphased by his obvious short sighted approach to stock rotation and food poisoning. He led us to the dining room which had become a bit of a dumping ground
"It's become a suppository for things I don't want."
Yes, he meant depository but is it any wonder he wasn't thinking clearly with this environmental hazard of a home.
The two opposites of this show don't seem to realise that the chaos they either cultivate or try to keep at arms length dominates their existence and prevents them from living life to the full. That said, it makes for obsessive compulsive viewing.
THE HOUSE OF HYPOCHONDRIACS
In this show we meet Sean, Lauren and Angela, who believe they could die at any moment from a whole host of ailments. Their concerns include tumours, growths, an array of cancers, aneurysms, rashes, lumps, bumps, lung disease and heart disease, but there were more, lots more. As always with these types of shows they shine a light on a subject that few of us understand or can relate to in anyway, but occasionally they also provide innocent, unintentional humour to lighten the mood.
Lauren is a timid, insecure blonde who doesn't allow people to use the her toilet because they might sit on it and sh.... well, you get the idea. She also washes her plates in the bath to avoid transferring bacteria to her gleaming sink (so it's OK to contaminate the bath then?). She has other quirks too, like wearing woolen gloves around the house and rolling back the bread wrapper so it goes inside out in case the staff in the supermarket have touched it. She freely admits to feeling constantly ill and thinks that avoiding bacteria or germs is the way to stay healthy. Curiously, she never pays a visit to her doctor's surgery for exactly that reason, preferring to fight infections on her own terms in an environment that she controls.
Angela is constantly checking herself as part of a daily ritual. Glands, breast and throat are just some of the areas she has concerns about. Then there's Sean, and after we are informed about a family tragedy his condition initially seems to have some understandable legitimacy...
I say initially as we see Angela and Sean at the GP's surgery watching a monitor to give them both some idea of the volume of visits the surgery receives and how many are perfunctory. Angela revealed that she told her dad she may have Leukemia. He had told her that she was too small to get leukemia, but before she could finish Sean interrupted...
"I had that last week"
Ooo-k then.
Dr Christian Jessen (the one with the crazy hair cut) tried to give each of the sufferers tasks that would lessen their concerns and curb their hypochondria. Gradually Angela and Sean made a degree of progress, but Lauren admitted the programme was too early for her and went back to her tried and trusted methods.
The NHS receives 24,000 calls a day, a 1,000 calls an hour, and nine million ambulances are dispatched to emergencies every year. Getting three people to look at their hypochondria is not going to make a huge difference, but awareness of the condition and sympathetic treatments may eventually do the trick.
THE SUPERVET
From hard to cure hypochondriacs to hard to cure pets.I have to admit that going into this I didn't hold out much hope. I've seen lots of vet shows over the years and they are all really boring, even the recent one with John Barrowman (who seems to have now decided that he's Scottish). But I wasn't really prepared for the likes of Noel Fitzpatrick. When it comes to treating ailing pets Fitzpatrick is part veterinarian, part engineer and part wizard!
In the episode I watched he virtually rebuilt a cats lower jaw after it was shattered by a dog attack. It proved tricky and time consuming but he won the day in the end, just as he did with a number of other pets on the show. One by one, Noel patched each animal up or stitched them back together by conventional or unconventional methods. However, even an exceptionally talented vet can run short of miracles...
Chris arrived at Fitzpatrick's referrals with his dog and best friend Spud, who had gone lame on his rear hind leg. Unfortunately, it wasn't good news. Spud had cancer in the knee joint which would result in amputation. Sadly, only weeks later it was clear time was short.
I'm really not a sucker for these types of shows but you have to hand it to Noel Fitzpatrick, he is a truly gifted, compassionate man who has genuine skill for treating animals, he even paid for a large part of Spud's treatment himself.
A VERY BRITISH BROTHEL
Yes, it's exactly what it says on the tin! No, it's not from Channel 5, although you'd be forgiven for thinking that based on 95% of their output. This 'delight' popped up on More 4 recently and features the day to day goings on at brothel in Sheffield, run by mother and daughter team Kath and Jenny.
The City Sauna is situated within the highest concentration of massage parlours per square mile in the country and is run in a very unfussy, no frills, no spills fashion. It even has the support of the Sheffield City Council, although they don't condone the activities and Kath denies anything inappropriate goes on by stating,
"What goes on upstairs is nothing to do with me. I just provide the tea and coffee."
...And the crumpet, I might add (I think you knew that was coming).
Kath doesn't earn her money from the nudge, nudge, wink, wink activities that don't go on upstairs. No, she earns a wage from the door fees and commission from the massages.
We meet Sean, a loyal customer who occasionally drops in for a cuppa, a chat and a massage. In fact he claims that he has received a massage from all the girls at some point, although, as he points out, not at the same time of course. Of course!
Kath rarely has any trouble at the City Sauna, although there was the matter of the man with the food fetish who decimated the bathroom. There, scattered around the lip of the Jacuzzi were various containers of half full custard, coleslaw, Greek yogurt and fish chowder - the mind boggles. She called him to complain about the mess as some poor luv waded in with a spray bottle and a kitchen cloth.
In the distinctly rundown rooms, Kath reveals that men come for the company, companionship and "friendly family atmosphere". She proudly shows off the array of products available to the customers, which include oil, talc, wipes, and a large blue roll, the type that mechanics swipe their grubby hands on. In amongst the fish nets, high heels, short skirts and bulging cleavages was a black fish in a tank who they refer to as 'The Pimp'. There was another called 'Hooker' but no one really took to it. One assumes it went to a good home but it may have just as easily ended up as part of a wild Jacuzzi session or wedged in a crease in the mattress.
Towards the end of this bizarre hour of television, Kath said her dad was unaware of the nature of the company business.
"He thought I ran a clothes shop, but if he had found out I'm sure he would have been a customer."

Dr Finlay's Casebook
by A J Cronin
"Dr Finlay's Casebook" is a delightful collection of episodic stories of Dr Finlay and his life in the fictional Scottish village of Tannochbrae during the inter-war years and based on A.J. Cronin's own experiences as a doctor. The BBC went on to dramatise these stories on both television and radio during the 1960s and '70s, with the television adaption drawing weekly audiences of 12 million viewers. The characters were revived by ITV from 1993-96 and were adapted again for BBC radio in 2001 and 2002. This omnibus edition of "Doctor Finlay of Tannochbrae and Adventures of a Black Bag" revive Cronin's masterpiece for a contemporary audience - stories which are tragic, funny and wry and which a celebration of Cronin's tremendous talent.

The Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program (SSEAYP) is an annual diplomatic and cultural exchange program sponsored by the Cabinet Office of Japan in cooperation with the member-countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The program brings together more than 300 youth from ASEAN countries and Japan, providing them with the unique opportunity to live together on board the Japanese cruise ship "MS Nippon Maru" for over 50 days.
SSEAYP started in January 1974 by virtue of a Memorandum of Agreement signed by Japan and the five ASEAN countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam joined in 1985. Vietnam participated in the program in 1996, while Laos and Myanmar participated in 1998, and Cambodia in 2000.
The aim of SSEAYP is to foster friendship, and to promote goodwill and greater understanding among young people from Japan and ASEAN countries. It also seeks to broaden their international outlook.
A series of activities are lined up for the selected participants. The program during the voyage includes discussions on relevant social and youth issues, cultural introductions, sports, recreation and club activities. While activities at each country port-of-call include interaction with the local youth, courtesy calls on dignitaries and institutional visits, as well as community service and a homestay experience.

Boil plenty of hot water in a pasta pan. Add some salt and fusilli or your favourite pasta. Chop the spring onion.
Meanwhile, remove the stalk of asparaguses and slice diagonally.
Simmer the Japanese soup stock in a frying pan. 7~8 minutes later when you start to boil the pasta add soy sauce and asparaguses.
Another 2 minutes later add the prawns. When your pasta is ready drain well and stir into the frying pan. Adjust with the salt and stir into the beaten egg. Turn off from the heat.
Serve the pasta and sprinkle with the spring onion and cayenne pepper.
In a heavy-based pan heat the butter over a medium heat. Add the leek and cook for about 2~3 minutes until the leek has softened.
Meanwhile, in a pan heat the soup over a moderate heat.
Add a ladleful soup at a time to the rice, stirring and letting each addition be absorbed before you add the next. Continue until the rice is tender – about 20 minutes.
About 3 minutes before the rice is ready, add the asparagus.
When the rice is tender, turn off from the heat and add the Parmigiano Reggiano. Adjust with the salt if necessary. Divide on the plate.
Tear the prosciutto with hands and add on the each plate. Sprinkle with more Parmigiano Reggiano and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

Marking 40 years of the Code
"Misguided propaganda on infant feeding should be punished as the most miserable form of sedition; these deaths should be regarded as murder." - Dr. Cicely Williams, 1938
May 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the passage of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes - by an almost unanimous vote of the Member States of the World Health Assembly (WHA). The Code was the result of a lengthy, participatory process over several years, with intense advocacy from both grassroots campaigners around the world and health care providers and governments from states in the process of decolonization.
The document that many of us pore over to find guidance on the day-to-day ethical challenges can seem remote and far away from the practical challenges. Yet the legal terms and concepts within the Code and subsequent relevant resolutions are born out of the most practical need to protect families at a time when their health is threatened directly by commercial interests.
The urgency that Dr. Cicely Williams expressed in her 1938 speech to the Singapore Rotary Club remains as urgent and real today, if not more so. Despite 40 years of advocacy and significant progress in implementing Code legislation around the world, the same images that moved health care providers, governments, and activists to action in the 1970s are being taken today.

Over the past decade, Livermore has put a lot of effort into revitalizing downtown. We now have water fountains to play in on hot summer days, markets and events to draw people to the town center, a couple new theaters for live and on-screen drama or action, and even a new parking garage that can't quite handle Livermore downtown's bustling weekends.
The best thing about the growth of Livermore's culture is by far the food. With around 200 restaurants, there is certainly something for everyone.
Feeling like a burger? Livermore has some of the best.
Longing for a burrito? Dozens of options.
Craving Thai? There are four to choose from.
Looking for something exotic? Well, I'm glad you asked.
You've had a long week at the office and the weekend is finally here. You're heading home, hungry and and want to catch the Warriors game with a nice cold beer. You get home, open the door and are greeted by a couple of loud and hungry kids that have been cooped up in the house way too long.
It's time to take them out for dinner, but where do you go?
When you take on a challenge to try every restaurant in town, it really gets you out of your comfort zone with the added bonus of experiencing some really great food.
That's one of the reasons why I started this challenge. The second is to hopefully inspire others to get out and discover new places in Livermore too.

"Spark of Life" –Asteroid Impacts in Ancient Mars Hydrogen-Rich Atmosphere
Posted on Mar 25, 2019 in Astronomy, Extraterrestrial Life, Science, Technology
A NASA study based on new data from the Curiosity Mission rover reveals asteroid impacts on ancient Mars could have produced key ingredients for life if the Martian atmosphere was rich in hydrogen.
"Having more hydrogen as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is interesting both for the sake of the climate history of Mars and for habitability," said Jennifer Stern, a planetary geochemist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and one of the co-investigators of the study. "If you have a link between two things that are good for habitability – a potentially warmer climate with liquid water on the surface and an increase in the production of nitrates, which are necessary for life – it's very exciting."
An early hydrogen-rich atmosphere on Mars could also explain how the planet remained habitable after its atmosphere thinned. The study used data from NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars and was conducted by researchers on Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument team and international colleagues. The results of this study suggest that these two things, which are important for life, fit together and one enhances the presence of the other.
These key ingredients are nitrites (NO2) and nitrates (NO3), fixed forms of nitrogen that are important for the establishment and sustainability of life as we know it. Curiosity discovered them in soil and rock samples it took as it traversed within Gale Crater, the site of ancient lakes and groundwater systems on Mars shown in image above.
To understand how fixed nitrogen may have been deposited in the crater, researchers needed to recreate the early Martian atmosphere here on Earth. The study, led by Dr. Rafael Navarro-González and his team of scientists at the Institute of Nuclear Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City, used a combination of theoretical models and experimental data to investigate the role hydrogen plays in altering nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates using energy from asteroid impacts. The paper was published in January in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
"Earth's Apocalypse" –Is Mars Our Planet B? 'Human Pioneers Living There Would Quickly Become a New Species'
In the lab, the group used infrared laser beam pulses to simulate the high-energy shockwaves created by asteroids slamming into the atmosphere. The pulses were focused into a flask containing mixtures of hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases, representing the early Martian atmosphere. After the laser blasts, the resulting concoction was analyzed to determine the amount of nitrates formed. The results were surprising, to say the least.
"The big surprise was that the yield of nitrate increased when hydrogen was included in the laser-shocked experiments that simulated asteroid impacts," said Navarro-González. "This was counterintuitive as hydrogen leads to an oxygen-deficient environment while the formation of nitrate requires oxygen. However, the presence of hydrogen led to a faster cooling of the shock-heated gas, trapping nitric oxide, the precursor of nitrate, at elevated temperatures where its yield was higher."
Although these experiments were conducted in a controlled lab environment millions of miles from the Red Planet, the researchers wanted to simulate the results obtained from Curiosity using the SAM instrument on the rover. SAM takes samples drilled from rock or scooped up from the surface by the rover's mechanical arm and bakes them to look at the chemical fingerprints of the released gases.
Underground of Ancient Mars –"May Have Been the Largest Habitable Zone on the Planet"
"SAM on Curiosity was the first instrument to detect nitrate on Mars," said Christopher McKay, a co-author of the paper at NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley. "Because of the low levels of nitrogen gas in the atmosphere, nitrate is the only biologically useful form of nitrogen on Mars. Thus, its presence in the soil is of major astrobiological significance. This paper helps us understand the possible sources of that nitrate."
Why were the effects of hydrogen so fascinating? Although the surface of Mars is cold and inhospitable today, scientists think that a thicker atmosphere enriched in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor may have warmed the planet in the past. Some climate models show that the addition of hydrogen in the atmosphere may have been necessary to raise temperatures enough to have liquid water at the surface.
Even though the composition of the early Martian atmosphere remains a mystery, these results may provide more pieces for solving this climate puzzle.

There are a lot of big names out there, as well as numerous new ones entering the road bike fray, often with hard-to-distinguish offerings. Trigon's name may not be that well known but the Taiwanese company have been manufacturing components for 20 years.
Their RCC11 belies its unimaginative monicker with an interesting looking, partly lugged frame that boasts an excellent weight for the price and – crucially – a fantastic ride. This Trigon is more a racing snake than a sportive bike, with a low head tube, tight tyre clearances and short wheelbase.
The head tube makes this suitable as an occasional time trial or triathlon bike, though if toe overlap is an issue the tightness of the front end is worth checking. When it comes to performance the Trigon flies on the flat, climbs beautifully and handles nimbly. But not only is it light, there's also a great air of efficiency to give faultless, smooth acceleration.
The box-section Monobox bottom bracket may not be as oversize as some, but combined with FSA's Energy cranks there's no sense of wasted energy, ever. SRAM's Rival groupset has the fantastic braking and crisp shifting of its dearer siblings, though it did require a bit of an effort to shift to the big ring.
Our model was specced with a carbon bar, stem and seatpost; production bikes will have aluminium equivalents, which will add a few hundred grams. The handbuilt Intrepid RC24 wheels are – like the bike itself – a very good weight for the price (2,400g with tyres and tubes, 1,860g without) and run smoothly. They're paired with Schwalbe's Ultremo ZX tyres, some of our favourite racing rubber.
Gripes? There's a tiny amount of front brake block rub when cranking up hills, and minimalist bar tape. But these are minor criticisms on what is an exceptional bike for the price, and one that gives much more expensive machines a serious run for their money. It's also available as a 'framepod' for £750, consisting of frame, fork, headset, bar, stem and seatpost.
