Un transformador de corriente (TC o CT por sus siglas en inglés - también TI por transformador de Intensidad) es un transformador utilizado para aumentar o disminuir una corriente alterna (AC). Produce una corriente en el devanado secundario proporcional a la corriente del primario.

Los transformadores de corriente, junto con los transformadores de tensión o de potencial, forman parte de los transformadores de instrumentos. Los transformadores de instrumentos reducen las señales de la corriente y tensión, respectivamente, a valores estandarizados que pueden ser conectados a las entradas de los instrumentos de medida y los relés de protección. Los transformadores de instrumentos aíslan y protegen los equipos de medida y protección de los altos niveles de tensión del sistema primario. Un transformador de corriente proporciona una corriente en el secundario que es exactamente proporcional a la corriente que fluye en su primario. El transformador de corriente genera una carga despreciable al circuito primario.

Los transformadores de corriente son unidades que miden corriente en sistemas de potencia y se usan en plantas de generación, subestaciones eléctricas y en la distribución de energía eléctrica industrial y comercial.

Funcionamiento

Un transformador de corriente tiene un devanado primario, un núcleo (bien sea de aire o un material magnético) y un devanado secundario. Si bien los principios físicos son los mismos, los detalles de un transformador de "corriente" y un transformador de "tensión" son diferentes debido los requerimientos de su aplicación. Un transformador de corriente está diseñado para mantener una relación precisa entre las corrientes en sus circuitos primario y secundario en un rango específico.

La corriente alterna en el devanado primario produce en el núcleo un campo magnético variante en el tiempo, que a su vez, induce una corriente alterna en el devanado secundario. El circuito del primario no se ve afectado por la conexión del TC. La precisión del transformador de corriente depende del acople que exista entre el primario y el secundario; esto garantiza que la corriente secundaria sea proporcional a la corriente primaria en un rango más amplio de corriente. La corriente en el secundario es la corriente en el primario (suponiendo un solo giro primario) dividido por el número de vueltas del devanado secundario. En la ilustración de la derecha, 'I' es la corriente en el primario, 'B' es el campo magnético, 'N' es el número de vueltas en el secundario y 'A' es un amperímetro de CA.

Los transformadores de corriente generalmente consisten de un núcleo de forma toroidal hecho de acero al silicio,  con muchas vueltas de alambre de cobre enrolladas sobre el mismo, como se muestra en la ilustración a la derecha. El conductor que transporta la corriente primaria pasa a través del orificio del TC. En este caso,  La bobina primaria del TC tiene una sola vuelta. El devanado primario puede ser una parte del transformador de corriente; por ejemplo, una barra de cobre para transportar corriente a través del núcleo. Los transformadores de corriente tipo ventana también son muy comunes, los cuales pueden tener cables de circuito que pasan por el medio de una abertura en el núcleo para proporcionar un devanado primario de una sola vuelta. Para ayudar a la precisión, el conductor primario debe estar centrado en la abertura.

Los transformadores de corriente se especifican por su relación de corriente entre el primario y el secundario. Por convención,  la corriente nominal del secundario es igual a 1 o 5 amperios.  Por ejemplo, un TC con una relación 4000:5 A tendrá una corriente de salida de 5 amperios cuando pasen 4000 amperios por la bobina del primario. Esta relación también se usa para hallar la impedancia o tensión en un lado del transformador, teniendo un valor apropiado del otro lado. Para el TC 4000:5, la impedancia del secundario puede calcularse como , y la tensión del secundario puede hallarse como . La impedancia del secundario reflejada en el lado primario se halla como . Para reflejar la impedancia simplemente se multiplica el valor de la impedancia secundaria inicial por la relación de corriente. El devanado secundario de un TC puede tener varios taps para proporcionar varias relaciones de corriente. Normalmente los TC's cuentan con 5 taps siendo comunes cinco derivaciones.

Los transformadores de corriente pueden fabricarse de diferentes formas y tamaños dependiendo de las necesidades del usuario final. Los transformadores de corriente de baja tensión se fabrican en forma de anillo en una caja moldeada de plástico.

Los transformadores de corriente de núcleo partido consisten de un núcleo dividido en dos partes o un núcleo con una sección removible. Estos transformadores se pueden instalar sin necesidad de desconectar o apagar el conductor que se quiere medir.  Los transformadores de corriente de núcleo partido se usan principalmente en instrumentos de medida de baja corriente, por lo general dispositivos portátiles que funcionan con baterías (ver ilustración abajo a la derecha).

Uso

Los transformadores de corriente se usan en mayor medida para medir la corriente y monitorear la operación de la red eléctrica.

Los transformadores de corriente de alta tensión se instalan sobre aisladores poliméricos o de porcelana para aislarlos de la tierra. Algunos transformadores de corriente se encuentran en el buje de un transformador de alta tensión o de un interruptor, que automáticamente centra el conductor dentro de la ventana del TC.

Los transformadores de corriente se pueden montar en las bornas de baja o alta tensión de un transformador de potencia. En algunas ocasiones, se quita una sección de la barra para instalar un transformador de corriente.

Es muy común encontrar varios transformadores de corriente juntos. Por ejemplo, los dispositivos de protección y medida pueden usar transformadores de corriente por separado para aislar los circuitos de medida y protección y permitir transformadores de corriente con diferentes características (clase de precisión, capacidad de carga) que requieren dichos dispositivos.

La carga conectada al transformador de corriente no debe superar el burden especificado por el fabricante, para evitar que la tensión del secundario no exceda los límites del transformador de corriente al que fue diseñado. Tampoco se debe exceder la corriente nominal del primario con el fin de que el núcleo no entre en su región no lineal y se sature. Esto ocurriría cerca del final de la primera mitad de cada mitad (positiva y negativa) de la onda sinusoidal de CA en el primario y afectaría la precisión.

Seguridad
Los transformadores de corriente a menudo se usan para supervisar corrientes altas o corrientes a altas tensiones. Se usan normas técnicas para garantizar la seguridad de las instalaciones que usan transformadores de corriente.

El secundario de un transformador de corriente no debe desconectarse de su carga mientras exista una corriente en el primario, ya que el devanado secundario intentará generar una corriente hasta superar su rigidez dieléctrica, poniendo en riesgo la seguridad de la operación. Esta tensión inducido puede alcanzar varios kV causando un arco eléctrico . Exceder la tensión secundaria también puede afectar la precisión del transformador o incluso destruirlo. Energizar un transformador de corriente con el circuito del secundario abierto es igual que energizar un transformador de tensión con un circuito secundario en corto circuito. Para el primer caso, el secundario intentará producir una tensión infinita y en el segundo caso, el secundario intentará producir una corriente infinita. Ambos escenarios pueden ser peligrosos, dañando el transformador.

Precisión
La precisión de un TC se afecta por varios factores como:

 Burden
 Clase de burden o clase de saturación
 Factor de seguridad
 Carga
 Campos electromagnéticos externos
 Temperatura
 Configuración física
 El tap seleccionado, para TC's con varias relaciones
 Cambio de fase
 Acoplamiento capacitivo entre primario y secundario
 Resistencia del primario y secundario
 Corriente de magnetización del núcleo

La norma IEC 61869-1 ha determinado que las clases de precisión de los transformadores de corriente son 0.1, 0.2s, 0.2, 0.5, 0.5s, 1 y 3, dependiendo de la carga y la exactitud de la medida requerida. La clase de precisión es una medida aproximada de la precisión del CT. Por ejemplo, el error de relación (entre la corriente del primario a la del secundario) de un CT con clase 1 es de 1% con la corriente nominal; mientras que el error de relación es de 0.5 % para un CT con clase de precisión 0.5. El error de desfase también es importante para las mediciones de potencia. Cada clase tiene un error de desfase permitido para una carga específica.

Los transformadores de corriente usados para protección tienen requisitos de precisión especiales debido a que necesitan medir corrientes mucho más altas de lo normal, para asegurar la operación de los relés durante fallas del sistema.  De acuerdo con la clasificación de precisión de ASA, Un transformador de corriente clasificado con una clase de precisión 2.5L400, es aquel que tiene una relación de 20 veces entre la corriente de primario y el secundario (por lo general 5 A X 20 = 100) y 400 V de caída, con una precisión del 2.5 %.

Normas
Dependiendo de las necesidad del cliente, los transformadores de corriente se diseñan bajo dos normas principales. La norma IEC 61869-1 (anteriormente IEC 60044-1) y norma IEEE C57.13 (ANSI).

Polkadot cars on a journey for Pudsey
The Big Learner Relay
A convoy of colourful polkadot cars travelled through Blackpool in a mission to raise money for Children in Need.
The Big Learner Relay passed through Blackpool on Saturday as it continued on a vast 3,000 mile journey across the country.
The relay, by driving instructors across the UK, is in its fifth year and so far has raised more than £300,000.
Blackpool driving instructor Dave Grundy was chosen to lead the convoy from Blackpool Zoo to Garstang Golf Club after it arrived from Preston. He said: "I have been a part of the learner relay for a few years and it is an honour to be selected as the lead car for this part of the journey."

Sarah Obama, step-grandmother to USA's President elect, Barak Obama, reacts with members of her family on November 7, 2012 in the hamlet of Kogelo in western Kenya during a press conference that followed media-anouncements of Obama's apparent victory.
KOGELO, Kenya — It was a little after 7 a.m. here — sunrise melting into the clouds and the previous night's empty brandy bottles scattered in the mud — that CNN called the US election for Barack Obama.
The crowd gathered around the outdoor television in a guesthouse garden erupted, arms in the air, grinning, hugging and dancing.
Kogelo is home to the Kenyan branch of Obama's far-flung family, a small village that has gotten a lot of attention thanks to its famous son. Obama is popular across Kenya, but nowhere more than in Kogelo, a place that has only recently been connected with electricity and a paved road.
As Americans cast their votes on Tuesday, people here braved the rain and power cuts to hope for and eventually celebrate an Obama victory.
"It is by the grace of God that Barack has made it and become the president of the United States for the second term," she said, with one of her sons, Sayid, by her side.
Four years ago, Kogelo was the center of attention as Obama won the US election for the first time. But for Mama Sarah, as she is known to everyone, this win was more significant.
"I rate this victory higher. It was euphoria that took him into office the first time but this one is more meaningful because it is the decision of the Americans after seeing his work," she said.
Africans have criticized Obama for not paying more attention to the continent, in which his father was born, during his first term. Against expectations, Africa never featured prominently on his foreign policy agenda. He made just one fleeting visit to Ghana early in his presidency.
But Mama Sarah said all that was fine.
"We cannot be bitter. He was doing his job in the place where he is supposed to be working, he was delivering where he was supposed to be delivering and therefore could not be malingering everywhere," she said to laughs from the crowd gathered at her family home on the outskirts of the village.
Mama Sarah said she believed that Obama's second term would be good for Kogelo, good for Kenya and good for Africa.
People in Kogelo, and Kenya more broadly, find inspiration in Obama. George Oduor, a 28-year old who described himself as a "jua kali" or odd job man, said Obama had shown that people from humble beginnings could achieve great things. He hopes Kenya's own political leaders might learn from him.
Obama's own family say they have been inspired by their relative in the White House. Half-brother Abon'go Malik Obama is eyeing a move into politics for the coming elections in March. He said he intends to stand as a an independent candidate for county governor.
"My brother being president has inspired a lot of people, one of them being myself," he told GlobalPost during an interview at a restaurant he has built in Kogelo, named after their shared father.
Despite the closeness of the polls, Mama Sarah said she never doubted her grandson's victory.

Monster Gaming Weekly
We mentioned two weeks ago that we could expect to see some more trophies in the near future and our players have not disappointed. Hbox has picked up his 14th win this year at The Summit and Na`Vi's Dota 2 team has also notched another qualifier win under their belts. It was another great pair of weeks for our teams and we'll break it all down!
Rainbow 6 ProLeague Season 8 Finals
The Rainbow 6 Pro League Season 8 Finals had two very different stories for our two teams, Evil Geniuses and Fnatic, as they went into the competition. For EG they were without a doubt one of the top 3 teams in the world with many predicting they would win the whole thing. Fnatic on the other hand was forced to play with their coach as a last minute stand-in for their Captain and in game leader as Magnet was unable to attend due to needing emergency surgery. While the pattern of Monster teams playing each other and knocking each other out sadly continues no matter what game is being played Fnatic's incredible accomplishment can be summed up with this crazy play.
Despite not having their IGL and Captain, the Fnatic boys played without fear, and their constant pressure on both offense and defense paid dividends. It was an incredible upset and it was a terrific result for the Australian squad that was nearly written off completely after the bracket had been drawn. While Fnatic didn't make it any further as they went up against the eventual champions G2 in the semi-finals, there's a lot worth celebrating in their top 4 finish in the Pro League Season 8 finals.
MegaFon Winter Clash Qualifier
Na`Vi has been performing extremely well as of late, taking 2nd place at the DreamLeague Minor, and now winning the MegaFon Winter Clash Qualifier. After Na`Vi took down Vega Squadron in the first round in only 22 and 19 minutes it was clear they were a step ahead in figuring out the new patch. The return of Batrider mixed with the new and improved Lich were a force to be reckoned with during the laning stage and in both games Na`Vi looked to have complete control for the entire duration.
Their real test was in the second round where they went up against PPD's Ninjas in Pyjamas. NiP was fresh off their 4th place finish at the Kuala Lumpur Major but in only 61 minutes Na`Vi was stepping over them, eyes fixed on their next opponents. From here Na`Vi would go on to win the upper bracket finals and then clinch the qualifier spot 3-2 over No Pangolier. The Grand Finals were nerve racking to say the least as Na`Vi dropped the first two games, meaning they had to win the following 3 games in a row to make it to the lan event. The tenacity Na`Vi showed as well as their draft adaptations to what had beat them in the first two games were a sight to see.
This win further solidifies Na`Vi's place among the top teams in the CIS region, a place they haven't been in a long time. The return of Sonneiko along with the additions of players like Magical, Blizzy, and Chuvash was met with mixed replies at first, but everyone can see how well this roster can work together and that they are capable of taking down Major contenders like NiP. The season is still young and there is still work to be done for the young and largely inexperienced group of CIS players, but the future has never looked brighter for fans of the team.
Smash Summit 7
Another Smash tournament has come and gone. And that means another win for HungryBox. With Smash Summit 7 successfully added to his growing collection, Team Liquid's resident Smash God HungryBox clocked his 5th consecutive tournament win. Bringing him up to 14 total tournament wins this year. Though this tournament was harder fought than the last, Hbox continues to plow through his competition with momentum that would make the Juggernaut blush.
The competition at this year's Smash Summit was strong. Of the seven total sets Hbox played, three went the distance to game five. One series even went down to the wire with both Hbox and his opponent racing to beat the clock on one stock each. With time running short in the final game Hbox was slated to lose by damage percentage when his opponent panicked, giving him an opening. He took it. In the final 40 seconds Hbox pushed the enemy Marth off the platform and into the corner to take the game. That series in particular was the Winner's Quarterfinals. A series so hype and so close that upon winning Hbox himself let out a victorious battle cry and exited the room, his controller in the air, without so much as a glance at his opponent (he later went back to find him to shake hands).
Despite a close Winner's Quarterfinals series, there was never really a point in time where it felt like Hbox wasn't in complete control of his destiny. Both the Winner's Finals and the Grand Finals were clear indicators that Hbox is not yet ready to relinquish his crown. Both series went to four games and were a spectacle to behold. After all, watching the best in the world battle it out is always exciting. But Hungrybox was on a roll and nothing could stop him. In the end both Mang0 and Leffen ultimately fell to the pink Puff with the headband and HungryBox was crowned champ at Smash Summit 7.
This year's DreamHack Atlanta has been a tournament of firsts. First offline tournament outing for a recently formed lineup, such as Vitality. First international offline tournament for French rookie Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut and his first international title in his career. But this was also the return of EnVyUs to CS:GO, this time with an American lineup for the first time. After lying dormant in the summer following the release of its french squad, they signed three ex-Splyce players — more recently playing as boxr — alongside Josh "jdm64" Marzano and Noah "Nifty" Francis. The Boys in Blue are back, waving a different flag this time.
For some this marked a return to competition after a couple months of inactivity, especially for jdm64, who once against wears the Monster patch after being inactive for eight months since his departure from Team Liquid. He thus joined forces with his former CLG teammate of 2016, Stephen "reltuC" Cutler, and a compatriot returning from Australian grounds from Renegades, Nifty. This experienced trio accompanied Matt "Pollo" Wilson and Taylor "Drone" Johnson coming into Atlanta, where the squad made their offline debut.
While it wasn't met with success, as they lost to compLexity in their opening match, then to Luminosity Gaming in the elimination match, EnVyUs' road in the Americas started here. If their initial foray into CS:GO was from the very top, this time it starts from scratch, with everything to build, and everything to prove. They need to establish their style, a consistent schema in which every player finds his place and feels comfortable, and overall find their footing as a squad. The task is ambitious, but chapter II of EnVyUs story starts here.
ECS Season 6 Finals
We're just back from Arlington, Texas, where FaceIT held its bi-annual Esports Championship Series Season Finals, the sixth in the league's existence. It featured their usual restricted playing field, with only eight participating teams, compared to the sixteen that will battle it out in Odense for the finals of ECS sister league run by ESL, the Pro League.
Team Liquid hailed from the North American side of the league, and flew to Arlington with the same objective they have been pursuing these past few months: claiming their first important title. The competition would be fierce, as notably the Danes of Astralis, and the resurging Ninjas in Pyjamas were attending, alongside multiple dangerous quintets. Liquid's road began against Denmark second finalists, North. A best-of-one for the opening matches, and this one peculiarly took place on Nuke. At first Liquid's show, the map quickly took a sharp turn in favor of North who managed to overcome an early deficit to close the first half evenly, before outclassing the American side on the defense and snatching the first win.
Unfortunately for Team Liquid, their tournament run would abruptly end in the following match. Pitted against NRG, their first battle unfolded with both teams grinding lots of round on the offense, before reaching the score of 15-14, where an individual play from Cvetelin "CeRq" Dimitrov sealed the deal. Liquid didn't manage to recover, and lost the second map in a less contested fashion.
As such, it wasn't their time to contest Astralis again in the finals as they've done multiple times this year. This time, they were replaced by MIBR, who made the Danes sweat to get their map wins, but couldn't eventually prevent what now looks inevitable in any tournament Nicolai "device" Reedtz and friends partake in, an Astralis victory.
This doesn't mean that Liquid are going anywhere, but this was a bump in the road of a team that did so much in the latter part of 2018 to maintain themselves at the top, and cement themselves as an elite side. Still, it needs to be reminded the brutality of the recent CS:GO calendar, with both leagues concluding their online parts only recently. Added to the multiple events over long weekends that took place between the Major and now, and one can't help but feel that the team might need some resourcing and practice after so much time spent in countless official matches and tournaments. This has led teams like Astralis and Na'Vi to skip some tournaments altogether to get that time, and understandably so.
It is now up to Liquid to keep their chin up and keep moving forward. With such an incredible form that maintained them at the top right below Astralis for so long, it is an incredibly hard task not to dip in form here and there. But this is a team that came a long way since its last roster changes, and that handled disappointing losses in the past. Losses after which they picked themselves up nonetheless, got back on track, and stepped up again.

Romeo Power Stock – Top Pick for the Electric Vehicle Boom?
By Pete Johnson
Sep 17, 2021 at 5:02PM
Romeo Power stock went public in December 2020 through a SPAC merger with investment firm RMG Acquisition. The move allows Romeo Power to cost-effectively raise funds to promote future growth through new partnerships, investments, and R&D.
Romeo Power Inc. (NYSE: RMO) is a Los Angeles-based startup company who's leading towards a sustainable future. The company works primarily by providing electric battery solutions for commercial vehicles. The electric solutions manufacturer was founded in 2016 and has been busy expanding its reach ever since.
Currently, Romeo Power stock is down over 50% since the company went public last December. Several important events have led to the EV battery maker's loss in value.
But does that mean it's time to give up on Romeo Power Inc.? Let's take a closer look at the factors that can turn Romeo Power's stock price around.
Romeo Power Inc. Q2 Earnings Disappointment
On Aug 16, investors saw what Romeo Power Inc. is capable of, when the company released its Q2 financial earnings. To most people's surprise, Romeo Power missed its estimates, and by a relatively large margin.
Missed Revenue – Romeo reported revenue of $926,000 in Q2, coming in significantly lower than the analyst expectations of nearly $3M. The drop in revenue is likely because the company is still in the process of scaling production. Another reason is the global chip shortage plaguing the auto industry.
EPS Loss – Romeo Power stock experienced a loss of (-0.22) per share, missing the estimated consensus of (-0.16) per share. Again, Romeo isn't quite at the production levels analysts believed they would be at this time.
Cash Reserves – Although the company missed its revenue and EPS estimates, it had $267.7 million in cash and investments at the end of the quarter.
Partially due to the global chip shortage affecting several different EV makers, Romeo Power was expecting a decline in revenue in the second quarter. The earnings miss was wider than the company had anticipated, but it hasn't changed its plans going forward.
Finally, In Romeo's webcast, management noted they don't plan on changing full-year guidance. They cited an expected ramp-up in production in the second half of the year, especially in Q4.
Romeo Power Strategic Developments
Even with Romeo Power Inc.'s latest hurdles, the energy technology company is still progressing. The latest strategic moves position the company in the middle of the EV movement. The following developments should help the company deliver on its expectations and increase Romeo Power stock prices.
New CEO – One of the most significant developments is the appointment of the company's new CEO, Susan Brennan. She brings extensive experience to Romeo Power in both the energy and automotive industries. Before joining Romeo, Brennan was the COO of Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE). She also worked at Nissan, running a plant with the highest production output among automotive manufacturers and Ford prior to that.
Long Term Supply Agreement – On the positive side of things, Romeo Power Inc. announced they entered into a long-term agreement with LG Energy Solutions to supply lithium-ion battery cells. The deal is for LG Energy to provide 8 GWh worth of energy in cells to Romeo Power. Romeo has, in return, agreed to fund the building of a new assembly line for LG Energy to produce the cells.
Testing Milestone – The EV battery maker reportedly eclipsed 750,000 testing miles of Romeo Power modules and batteries.
PACCAR Partnership – Romeo Power entered into a five-year agreement with PACCAR Inc. (NASDAQ: PCAR) to supply its battery power packs for its commercial electric vehicle fleet. This partnership can be significant for Romeo as PACCAR is one of the world's largest manufacturers of commercial trucks.
These are all significant developments for a startup that just went public in December. It's a lot of information for investors to take in and process. The company is trying to expand its reach and solidify its place in the electric vehicle market.
Battle of Battery Companies
It's no secret that the electric vehicle market is growing at a rapid pace. The most recent research hints the electric vehicle industry could reach nearly $2.5 trillion by 2027. This reflects a 33% compound annual growth rate.
However, Romeo Power stock faces intense competition in the industry, with several companies fighting for their share of the market. Just recently, one of Romeo Power's most significant competitors announced a deal with LG Energy to supply battery cells.
Investors will also have to consider other EV battery makers such as Bill Gates backed Quantumscape (NYSE: QS). Also Solid Power, which has yet to go public.
Romeo Power Inc. Stock Forecast – Risk vs. Reward
With Romeo Power Inc.'s stock down over 50% since it went public, investors my be worried. Can Romeo Power stock rebound from its recent fall?
The company's new CEO has substantial experience in the auto and energy industries, specifically when ramping up production. As management recently noted, despite the recent earnings miss, they still plan on meeting the 2021 targets. This may present an opportunity for investors looking for a reasonable risk vs reward setup.
Keep in mind, Romeo does work in a volatile industry with the electric vehicle market set for turbulent growth. On top of this, Romeo Power was established via a SPAC, which generally comes with additional volatility on its own.
If the company can continue making smart partnerships and agreements, Romeo stock investors can be rewarded. Romeo's growth will depend on how well it can position itself in the booming electric vehicle market.
Electric vehicles and renewable energy are two industries expected to grow considerably in the years to come. For more on Romeo Power stock and the latest energy trends, sign up for our Profit Trends e-letter today!

The American West is bracing for a hot, dry, and dangerous summer
Climate change has pushed the region into "megadrought" territory.

Water levels are running dangerously low in rivers, reservoirs, and aquifers across much of the American West, raising serious dangers of shortages, fallowed agricultural fields, and extreme wildfires in the coming months.
Monitoring stations across California's Sierra Nevada range are registering some of the driest conditions on record for this point in the year. High spring temperatures already mostly melted away this winter's light snowpack, which usually supplies about a third of the state's water.
Paradise, California, and the impossible choice between climate fight and flight
The town's residents are rebuilding in the wake of the Camp Fire. But should they?
In New Mexico, where half the state faces "exceptional drought" conditions, water districts are delaying allotments to farmers and urging them to simply not plant crops if possible.
All told, nearly 85% of the West is suffering through drought conditions right now, according to US Drought Monitor. Almost half the region is now in an extreme or exceptional drought, following years of dry, hot conditions aggravated by climate change.
The proximate cause of this year's drought is a weak summer monsoon coupled with La Niña conditions that steered storms north. But the problem goes well beyond less rain and snow falling in recent months. The Southwest has suffered through the driest period since the 1500s for two decades now, according to a study in Science last year.
Climate change accounts for 46% of the severity, pushing what would have been a moderate drought into what the scientists deem "megadrought" territory. Numerous other studies find that higher temperatures will mean "more frequent and severe droughts in the Southwest," noted the 2018 National Climate Assessment.
"Snow melts faster. There's more evaporation. It just changes the game in so many different ways," says Newsha Ajami, director of urban water policy at Stanford's Water in the West initiative.
Regions are already scrambling to address the rising dangers.
In California, Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed spending more than $5 billion to meet emergency water needs and shore up regional water infrastructure, among other efforts. He also declared drought emergencies across 41 counties, covering nearly all of Northern California and the Central Valley, the state's rich agricultural region.
In Marin, a county north of San Francisco that's largely isolated from regional water systems, reservoirs are running ominously low following nearly record low rainfall this year. To ensure the water supply, the water district is discussing the possibility of building at least a temporary pipeline across the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge for the first time since the state's crippling 1976–1977 drought.
Researchers, officials, and emergency responders are also bracing for another terrible fire season, which is off to an early start. The Palisades fire near Los Angeles has burned across more than 1,000 acres of dry brush in recent days, forcing more than 1,000 people to flee their homes.
"Some elements of fire season risk are predictable; some aren't," says Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who focuses on the atmospheric conditions that drive droughts, floods, and wildfires. "All the predictable ones are ringing alarm bells."
Some climate modeling finds that warming increases the variability of rainfall patterns, creating what researchers studying California's conditions have described as a "whiplash" between more extreme periods of drought and flooding.
But years-long periods of extremes don't naturally balance each other out, even if average precipitation levels stay the same. If regions don't fundamentally rethink how they're managing water, it will too often mean simply going from one type of disaster to another (see the 2012–2016 drought in California, immediately followed by flood years that triggered mudslides, washed out roads, and pushed one dam near the breaking point).
"We have to shift our mindset to 'drought is a normal thing,'" Ajami says. "And then when we have wet years, we should get excited and do a billion things to capture as much water as we can, to ensure we store enough for when we run dry again."
That will require making better use of groundwater by cleaning up contaminated aquifers and refilling them during heavy rainfall years. Regions will also need to make far more efficient use of water once it's in the system, reducing, reusing and recycling wherever they can.

We will also need to rely more upon—and drive down the cost of—desalination technologies. Those include not just the giant seawater plants that pull drinking water from the ocean, but also smaller, inland facilities that desalinate brackish groundwater, treat municipal wastewater, and enable onsite industrial water reuse, says Meagan Mauter, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford and research director of the National Alliance for Water Innovation.
As things get worse, some areas will likely need to grapple with even harder questions about where farms, businesses, and cities should go, grow, or remain.
But for now, tens of millions of people who live across the West are just hoping to prepare for what promises to be a very hot, dry, and dangerous summer.

The most empowering form of brokerage is not independent professional brokerage - quite the contrary. Instead social workers and others need to adopt the Community Brokerage approach, enabling people to take control themselves and make full use of all the community already has available.

KFC just started testing a new item called the Cheetos Sandwich . . . and it's next level. It's a fried chicken sandwich that uses full CHEETOS as a topping . . . and a special creamy cheese sauce made out of Cheetos.
Right now they're testing it at a handful of stores in Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia.
KFC is making our late-night culinary dreams come true by mashing together Cheetos and fried chicken within a single sandwich.

In many cases, the basic assumptions of parametric exploratory factor analysis are not met and yet even in these cases, the technique is used. There is the risk of inducing significant errors that could invalidate the factor analysis model. To avoid such situations, we can use another technique, available for ordinal or even nominal variables, less known and used, called "Principal Components Analysis for Categorical Data". This article aims at an introduction to these methods of data analysis. The article begins with a fictional example illustrating the configuration and analysis of results provided by SPSS for Windows for CATPCA (Categorical Principal Components Analysis).

La conjetura de Catalan (también conocida como teorema de Mihăilescu) es un teorema de teoría de números propuesto por el matemático Eugène Charles Catalan en 1884 y demostrado por primera vez por Preda Mihăilescu en abril de 2002.

Para entender esta conjetura, nótese que 2³ = 8 y 3² = 9 son dos números que son potencias consecutivas de números naturales. La conjetura de Catalan dice que este es el único caso de dos potencias consecutivas.

Es decir, la conjetura de Catalan afirma que la única solución en el conjunto de los números naturales de
xa − yb = 1
para x,a,y,b > 1 es x = 3, a = 2, y = 2, b = 3.

En particular, nótese que no tiene importancia que los mismos números 2 y 3 estén repetidos en la ecuación 3² − 2³ = 1.

La conjetura de Catalan fue demostrada por Preda Mihăilescu en 2002. La prueba se publicó en el Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 2004. Hace un uso extensivo de la teoría de cuerpos ciclotómicos y módulo de Galois. Una exposición de dicha prueba fue dada por Yuri Bilu en el Seminario Bourbaki.

Keele launched the Sustainability Benchmark in 2018-19 to provide a campus-wide scheme that involves all Schools and Directorates to ensure that University policies relating to environmental and sustainability operations are being implemented.
Staff Sustainability Representatives are the point of contact for the Sustainability Benchmark Audit. The audit includes 20 criteria which relate to sustainability activities linked to energy, waste, wellbeing, education for sustainability, procurement and transport, but also include communication, engagement and leadership. The criteria were developed in partnership through focus groups and are designed to enable Schools and Directorates to focus on projects which link with their activities rather than becoming a tick-box exercise.
There is also a large amount of innovative work taking place across the campus, embedding sustainability into operations, research, the curriculum and more, and we want to recognise and celebrate this. By being part of the Sustainability Benchmark, your School/Directorate can also become eligible to apply for funding towards a sustainability project, which can align with one or more of the Benchmark criteria, and enables your team to be nominated for a Sustainability Innovation Award.
Student auditors are trained to partner up with Schools/Directorates and explore the evidence submitted. This provides a great opportunity to engage with university processes and operations outside their formal curriculum, and to gain insights into the practicalities of embedding sustainability into a higher education institution.
If your team is unable to complete all the criteria, we encourage you to still get involved as your School/Directorate will still be able to engage with the auditing process and will receive the 'Working towards the Benchmark' award.
Find out which teams achieved the Sustainability Benchmark below:
The results of the 2019-20 Benchmark are now in! Congratulations to all the teams taking part this year - it was fantastic to see the pilot cohort of 3 increase to 14 for the 2019-20 Benchmark, and hopefully next year we'll have even more teams engaging with this University-wide programme.
Teams were scored based on their work towards criteria that aim to ensure the University's sustainability policies are being implemented. Criteria encompass energy, procurement, engagement with sustainability, embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals, health and wellbeing and equality and diversity.
Student auditors were trained to review evidence, conduct interviews with the Staff Sustainability Reps from each team, and make recommendations which have informed reports (new for this year) which can feed into ongoing progress and action to ensure sustainability is genuinely being embedded into everything we do across the University.
There are 5 levels of awards up for grabs: 'working towards' for those on their benchmark journey but not yet meeting all criteria; '1 leaf' for teams achieving at least 35 points and meeting at least 10 criteria; '2 leaves' for teams achieving at least 55 points and at least 10 criteria; '3 leaves' for teams achieving at least 75 points and all criteria, and the gold leaf for scoring over 95 points.
This year's results are:
3 Leaves Award
1 Leaf Award
Central Science Laboratories (CSL)
Events and Conferencing
Keele Institute for Innovation and Teaching Excellence (KIITE)
VC's Office
Working Towards the Benchmark
HR and Organisational Development
Research, Engagement and Innovation (RIE)
Well done to all participants - there have been some fantastic actions as a result of this year's Benchmark process. If your team isn't included above and you'd like to be involved for 2020-21, contact the Sustainability Team for more information.
Congratulations and a big thank you to the three teams who submitted their criteria as part of the Sustainability Benchmark audit process for 2018-19.
Teams submissions were scored based on the number of points they received, with the potential to achieve 1, 2 or 3 leaves or a much sought-after 'gold leaf' depending on their achievements.
The aim is for all Schools/Directives to be completing the criteria each year. If your School/Directorate wasn't involved this year, contact the Sustainability Team.
The School of Chemical and Physical Sciences received 3 leaves recognising the team's significant progress in embedding sustainability into a large number of processes within the School. Katherine Haxton received the certificate on behalf of the School as their Staff Sustainability Representative.
The campus Library team also received 3 leaves demonstrating the team's engagement with sustainability activities and events. Stephen Parton received the certificate on behalf of the Library as their Staff Sustainability Representative.
The School of Computing and Maths received the 'Working towards the Benchmark' award showing the team's commitment to engage with sustainability and develop activities within the School. Chris Briggs received the certificate on behalf of the School as their Staff Sustainability Representative.


First we had Mr. Safety's bowling alley, now we have Mr. Safety's Christmas tree. This sounds depressing and kinda creepy.
Because they were afraid that a real Christmas tree might blow over and fall on someone, or poke someone with needles, or have its decorations stolen, or all manner of other stupidity, they decided to go with a new idea…a metal cone covered in astroturf!
Yes, this is supposed to be the new Christmas tree. This is how it's described in the article.
When is a Christmas tree not a Christmas tree? When it is a giant cone covered in what appears to be green doormats.
Shoppers stared in bemusement at the mysterious object that landed in a shopping precinct in Poole, Dorset, this week. Some compared it to a giant traffic cone, a witch's hat or a cheap special effect from an early episode of Doctor Who.

While I've covered the topic of ad blocking in the past ("How ad blocking will change digital advertising"), my focus was primarily on the impact to the publishers ("10 ways publishers are dealing with ad blocking"). For this article, I plan to focus on how brand advertisers and agencies can mitigate, if not leverage, the impact of ad blocking software on digital advertising.
Ad blocking is a global phenomenon. Surprising to some, the U.S. has a smaller ad blocking population than other countries, where ad blockers are native to operating systems and browsers. Europe and Asia dominate the ad blocking usage statistics, for the time-being. That said, I expect the U.S. will catch up over time.
It is helpful to know who is blocking ads, especially in the U.S. The good news is that only 10 percent of U.S. desktop internet users deploy ad blockers, according to comScore data from December 2015. Most ad blocker adoptees are millennials, between the ages of 18 and 29 years of age.
The best way for brands and creatives to effectively mitigate the impact of ad blockers, is to understand the motivations behind usage. The chart below covers the top five primary drivers for ad blocking, of which annoying, intrusive, and irrelevant top the list.
The ads are annoying. Bad creative can be downright irritating. Recommended fix: Invest more time on development of compelling creative that resonates with the target audience. Spend more time and effort on market research, strategic planning, and testing, to hone the creative.
The ads get in the way of what I'm trying to do. While intrusive ads (think pop-ups and expandable ads) can generate a higher number of clicks, it is not usually because people find the creative or product compelling. Similar to mobile devices, people tend to click accidentally on intrusive ads. This only infuriates the user and can result in a negative brand perception. Recommended fix: Buy ad placements that are less-intrusive or completely non-intrusive. Examples might include sponsorships vs. display ads. According to recent research, one in three users was positive toward an ad-light experience with fewer advertisements shown in exchange for turning off their ad blockers.
The ad is irrelevant to me. As web surfers, we tend to ignore irrelevant ads, but that doesn't mean they don't have a negative impact and inspire blocker usage. Recommended fix: Invest more time in audience segmentation and targeting. Understand your audience motivators and preferred media outlets and have the discipline to actively manage digital campaigns for optimal ROI. Run-of-site or run-of-network ad buys are a lazy approach and key driver of ad blocking.
I find the ads too intrusive. If you've surfed the web for work or play in the past year, you've probably experienced intrusive ads, including pre-roll on YouTube or interstitials on large publishers. Overlay ads are popular because they demand the user's attention and advertisers can guarantee impressions. Unfortunately, users find these ads frustrating. Recommended fix: See No. 3. Stay away from intrusive ad buys. Look for alternatives, per No. 2.
The pages tend to load faster when adverts are blocked. Any web developer will agree that fewer ads = faster download speeds = better user experience. In fact, Google has indicated site speed impacts rankings in search results. Unfortunately, this insight conflicts with a publisher's need to generate revenue. Recommended fix: Consider ad buys on websites with limited inventory, elegant user experience, or perceived faster download times. Also consider creating ads that are small in file size that minimize impact on the user experience.
It leads to a saving of my mobile data. This is perhaps the most difficult to combat, but is thankfully the least important of the top motivators. Recommended fix: Not much you can do here, unless you plan to buy those viewing your ads additional data on their mobile plans. Perhaps suggest they view the website on Wi-Fi or at work. Yeah, right.
Advertisers and creatives are in a tough spot due to the growth of ad blocking. I've mentioned a few mitigation strategies above, based on the top six motivators. Here are a few additional thoughts from other industry influencers.
During a recent panel at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Randall Rothenberg, president-CEO of the IAB, suggested that brands should "serve people and not impressions through better creative." The panelists also suggested less intrusive ad formats with better targeting. For more, read the AdAge article, "Mobile Ads Are a 'Disastrous' Afterthought, Says Cannes Ad Blocking Panel."
In another panel at the same event, PepsiCo's president Brad Jakeman said "Ad-blocking is the best thing that has happened to this industry," arguing it will drive the industry to act more like entertainment brands. For additional details, read the full Campaign article, "PepsiCo: Ad-blocking 'best thing to happen to industry'."
My fellow teammates at Anvil came up with additional workaround strategies for ad blocker users. The first strategy is to get "white-listed" by following ad blocker best practices in order to advertise through ad blocker networks or related technology platforms like PageFair and Ghostery. The second is my foundational recommendation from previous articles: native advertising. Create your own content that is so compelling that nobody cares that it is technically considered advertising.
Additional workarounds include in-app advertising, which can still be considered intrusive, but users may be more tolerant depending on the application and creative. Increasing engagement levels can also decrease user frustration. Consider unique ad formats that incorporate multimedia. This is a riskier approach, as it can increase download times and be considered even more intrusive than static ads.
At its core, ad blocking software is a powerful response by consumers tired of poorly executed and placed creative. Brands and agencies that heed the call will invest more time on developing data-driven creative, further audience segmentation, improved targeting, and thoughtful media placement. Publishers must also do their part to provide more options for advertisers that address many of the consumers' biggest complaints. Consumers have voiced their concerns, and the advertising industry is now starting to listen. The result should be a better experience for all parties involved. At least we hope that is the case.
3 strategies to survive the "Adblockalypse"

Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders and synthetic rubber, today reported its second quarter 2017 financial results with net sales of $1,145 million, net income of $60 million, and earnings per diluted share of $1.34. Second quarter Adjusted EPS was $1.39 and Adjusted EBITDA was $126 million.
Net sales in the second quarter increased 18% versus prior year driven primarily by the pass through of higher raw material costs. Second quarter net income of $60 million was $36 million lower than prior year, and second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $126 million was $56 million lower than prior year. These decreases were primarily from unfavorable raw material timing, partially offset by favorable price lag, lower margin in Feedstocks and Performance Plastics, and lower equity affiliate income from Americas Styrenics. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher volume in Synthetic Rubber and higher margin in Latex Binders.
Latex Binders net sales of $292 million for the quarter increased 25% versus prior year primarily driven by the pass through of higher raw material costs. Lower sales volume decreased revenue by 5%, excluding the recently divested Latin America business, driven by North America paper customer destocking and a declining market. Adjusted EBITDA of $36 million was $15 million above prior year from higher margins, including favorable net timing, as market conditions have improved, particularly in Asia.
Synthetic Rubber net sales of $174 million for the quarter increased 56% versus prior year driven by the pass through of higher raw material costs as well as higher SSBR and Ni-PBR sales volume. Adjusted EBITDA of $28 million was $2 million below prior year from unfavorable raw material timing, partially offset by favorable price lag. This timing impact was largely offset by higher sales volume. Sales of enhanced SSBR product grades are driving higher SSBR sales volume.
Performance Plastics net sales of $190 million for the quarter was 3% above prior year driven by the pass through of higher raw material costs. Higher sales volume increased revenue by 3%, excluding the recently divested Latin America business, driven by higher volumes to the automotive market in North America and the consumer electronics market in Asia. These impacts were partially offset by the divestiture of the Latin America business. Adjusted EBITDA of $23 million was $15 million below prior year primarily from margin compression, partially offset by higher sales volume.
Basic Plastics net sales of $382 million for the quarter was 5% above prior year as the pass through of higher raw material costs was partially offset by lower polystyrene sales volume in Asia, with a focus on higher margin business, as well as lower polycarbonate sales volume as more polycarbonate was utilized internally. Adjusted EBITDA of $32 million was $11 million below prior year driven by unfavorable raw material timing as well as lower polystyrene margin compared to a very strong prior year.
Feedstocks net sales of $107 million for the quarter was 36% above prior year due to the pass through of higher styrene prices as well as higher styrene-related sales volume. Adjusted EBITDA of negative $1 million was $34 million below prior year from lower styrene margin, including unfavorable raw material timing.
Americas Styrenics Adjusted EBITDA of $30 million for the quarter was $8 million below prior year from lower margin on second quarter sales of styrene purchased during the first quarter maintenance-related outage at the St. James, Louisiana styrene facility in a decreasing price environment.
Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $62 million and capital expenditures were $38 million, resulting in Free Cash Flow for the quarter of $24 million. Second quarter cash from operations and Free Cash Flow were negatively impacted by approximately $38 million from higher working capital primarily from higher raw material prices. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $400 million of cash, inclusive of the $30 million used in the second quarter for the repurchase of approximately 467,000 shares. For a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash provided by (used in) operating activities, see note 3 below.
Full year guidance updated and in line with guidance from first quarter earnings call except for $55 million of additional unfavorable net timing impacts. This guidance excludes the impact of anticipated debt refinancing activities.
For a reconciliation of third quarter and full year 2017 net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, see note 2 below. Additionally, refer to the appendix within Exhibit 99.2 of our Form 8-K, dated August 2, 2017, for further details on how net timing impacts are defined and calculated for our segments.
Trinseo will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2017 financial results tomorrow, Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 10 AM Eastern Time.
Trinseo has posted its second quarter 2017 financial results on the Company's Investor Relations website. The presentation slides will also be made available in the webcast player prior to the conference call. The Company will also furnish copies of the financial results press release and presentation slides to investors by means of a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
(a) Net gain on disposition of businesses and assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017 relates primarily to sale of our 50% share in Sumika Styron Polycarbonate, for which the Company recorded a gain on sale of $9.3 million during the period. Net loss on disposition of businesses and other assets for the three months ended June 30, 2016 represents the impairment charge recorded for the estimated loss on sale of our latex and automotive businesses in Brazil.
(b) Restructuring and other charges for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 primarily relate to charges related to the upgrade and replacement of the Company's compounding facility in Terneuzen, The Netherlands as well as charges incurred in connection with the decision to cease manufacturing activities at our latex binders manufacturing facility in Livorno, Italy. Restructuring and other charges for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily relate to charges incurred in connection with the decision to divest our operations in Brazil as well as the closure of our Allyn's Point manufacturing facility in Gales Ferry, Connecticut.
(c) Acquisition transaction and integration costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 relate to advisory and professional fees incurred in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of API Applicazioni Plastiche Industriali S.p.A., or API Plastics, a soft-touch polymer and bioplastics manufacturer based in Mussolente, Italy, which closed in July 2017.
(d) Other items for the three months ended June 30, 2016 relate to fees incurred in conjunction with the Company's secondary offerings completed during the periods above.
(e) Adjusted to remove the tax impact of the items noted in (a), (b), (c), (d), and (f). The income tax expense (benefit) related to these items was determined utilizing either (1) the estimated annual effective tax rate on our ordinary income based upon our forecasted ordinary income for the full year, or (2) for items treated discretely for tax purposes, we utilized the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which these adjustments occurred.
(f) For both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively, the amount excludes accelerated depreciation of $0.6 million related to the upgrade and replacement of the Company's compounding facility in Terneuzen, The Netherlands.
For the same reasons discussed above, we are providing the following reconciliation of forecasted net income to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as well as for the full year ended December 31, 2017. See "Note on forward-looking statements" above for a discussion of the limitations of these forecasts.
(g) Reconciling items to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not typically forecasted by the Company based on their nature as being primarily driven by transactions that are not part of the core operations of the business. As such, for the forecasted three months ended September 30, 2017 and full year ended December 31, 2017, we have not included estimates for these items.
(h) Weighted average shares calculated for the purpose of forecasting Adjusted EPS do not forecast significant future share transactions or events, such as repurchases, significant stock-based compensation award grants, and changes in the Company's share price. These are all factors which could have a significant impact on the calculation of Adjusted EPS during actual future periods.
Prior period information below has been recast from its previous presentation to reflect the Company's current method for calculating Free Cash Flow. Prior to the third quarter of 2016, we calculated Free Cash Flow as cash from both operating and investing activities less the impact of changes in restricted cash. We believe our revised method is more aligned to investors' common understanding of Free Cash Flow and allows for easier comparisons between the Company and its peers. Additionally, the Company has not reported material restricted cash balances since 2012 and is not expected to do so under its current practices.

The above ratings really do not apply to the tire I bought. The tire I bought was a front wheel tire for a 4 wheel drive, L3000 Kubota tractor...mounted nicely and gives the traction I desire from my farm tractor. Have not used the tractor that much however, since purchase. i was impressed with SimpleTire, their specs on the tire, their price beat any others and their shipping, was superb. I got my tire the very next day after ordering and was impressed! I was so impressed I may just go ahead and replace the other front tire, just due to age on the remaining tire...I have absolutely no hesitation doing business with the folks at SimpleTire.
These are perfect tires for the front of my compact tractor. Great traction, great price, and free shipping which was quick. By submitting a review, each person received a sweepstakes entry.

St. Joseph's students take a thrilling plunge at leadership
Investiture Ceremony 2015 - 2016
On Monday, the 2nd of February 2015 the formal, traditional and impressive Investiture Ceremony for the academic year 2015-2016 took place at the morning assembly in St. Joseph's Boys High School. The Students who had elected the office bearers of the school, warmly welcomed and applauded them as they prepared to take oath. Mrs. Miriam Angelo, the Vice Principal, welcomed the gathering. After the Captains and Vice Captains of St. Andrew's, St. David's, St. George's and St. Patrick's Houses marched to their positions with their respective flags, Amal Anthony of 9 'C' led the School in prayer. He prayed for the student leaders to be committed to the school motto of 'Faith and Toil', to lead with good example and to build a just student community based on the 'ideals of equality, freedom and equal opportunity…to be people who unite rather than divide, harmonise rather than segregate and who are considerate for the last and the least."
The School flag was then hoisted and the school anthem sung with characteristic Josephite pride and harmony. Next, the student leaders stepped forward to have the Principal Rev. Fr. Clifford Sequeira, SJ administer the oath of office to them. They promised to be ever mindful of the school motto of 'Faith and Toil'...to protect and defend the rules and regulations of the school and to devote themselves to the service of the school with the help of God. They promised to foster healthy union and fellowship, to respect lawful authority, to provide opportunities for healthy competition and sustained striving for excellence.
The Principal then charged them to honour their pledge and to embark whole heartedly on the task of exercising leadership, providing all round formation and training in true citizenship. He prayed for the blessing of God on them, for the trust of their teachers and the love and support of their fellow students.
The Captains then stepped forward to express their sentiments of gratitude on being elected and their resolve to live up to the ideals of their school and to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to them in a spirit of fair play, excellence and love for their school motto, traditions and culture, winning the love and respect of their school community. The Staff and Students silently and joyfully wished them blessings on their endeavours.
The following students have been elected school Captains and Vice Captains for the academic year 2014-15.

Jerwin Ancajas vs Miguel Gonzalez Betting Odds and Prediction
By Ian Palmer Boxing December 5, 2019
Jerwin Ancajas vs Miguel Gonzalez Preview Dec. 7th
Filipino IBF Jr. Bantamweight Champion Jerwin Ancajas defends his title for the eighth time this Saturday, December 7th when he takes on Miguel Gonzalez of Chile in Mexico. Ancajas was supposed to meet Jonathan Rodriguez in November but the fight fell through when Rodriguez couldn't get a visa to fight in Carson, California. The 12-round bout can be seen in the USA on ESPN+. Ancajas last fought in May when he stopped Ryuichi Funai after six rounds while Gonzalez stopped Jimson Garcia in the eighth round in October for the WBA Fedelatin Super Flyweight Title.
Ancajas vs Gonzalez Betting Odds
Here are the betting odds from online sportsbook BetOnline.ag (full review here).
Miguel Gonzalez +1183
Jerwin Gonzalez -2008
My Pick
Ancajas is a 27-year-old southpaw who enters the ring at 31-1-2 with 21 Kos. He won the title via a unanimous decision over McJoe Arroyo in September, 2016. He's defended it against Jose Alfredo Rodriguez, Teiru Kinoshita, Jamie Conlan and Israel Gonzalez by stoppage as well as Jonas Sultan by unanimous decision and Alejandro Santiago Barrios via a split-decision draw and then Funai. The champ is 5-feet-6-inches tall with a 66.5-inch reach and has boxed 201 rounds since turning pro in 2009.
Before that, he enjoyed a fine amateur career by going 90-5. Since turning pro, Ancajas has also won the WBO Asia Pacific Youth Super Flyweight Title, Philippines Luzon Professional Boxing Association Bantamweight Title and the IBF Pan Pacific Super Flyweight Title. He's a skilled all-round boxer who carries enough power in his fists with a current knockout ratio of 61.2 per cent. He also has a solid chin and isn't shy about letting his hands go.
Ancajas shouldn't have a problem fighting in Mexico since he's 10-0-1 with 8 Kos while boxing outside of his homeland. He's not perfect as a pro though as he was beaten via a 10-round majority decision by Mark Anthony Geraldo in March of 2012 and was held to a four-round technical draw by Ervin Yamo in May, 2010. That fight had to be stopped due to a cut eye suffered by Ancajas which was caused by an accidental headbutt.
The 30-year-old Gonzalez hails from Santiago and has boxed 247 rounds since turning pro in 2010. He's 31-2 with just 8 Kos and has a relatively low knockout ratio of only 24.3 per cent. He was stopped in the eighth round by Andrew Moloney in March with his first defeat being a 12-round unanimous decision to Paul Butler in 2013. He's just over 5-feet-3-inches tall with a 64.5-inch reach which means he gives up 2.5-inches in height to Ancajas and two inches in reach.
Since turning pro Gonzalez has also won the Chilean Super Flyweight Championship and the WBC South American Super Flyweight Crown. His biggest wins have been against the likes of Pedro Cardenas, Luis Alberto Lazarte, Edgar Martinez, Carlos Ruiz, Anuar Salas, Sammy Reyes, Michell Banquez and Yader Cardoza. It's safe to say Gonzalez is taking a huge step up in class on Saturday.
Ancajas is a fine boxer with good power but isn't always as focused as he should be. He has a definite edge in experience and power against Gonzalez but still can't afford to take him lightly. Gonzalez is relatively unknown on the world stage but could make a nuisance of himself for a few rounds. However, I'm still expecting Ancajas to retain his belt.
Ancajas is a class above Gonzalez.

Making cities more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent isn't only about overcoming the challenges cities face. It is about recognizing that many of the challenges we face in making a smarter planet are centered on creating sustainable cities.
Cities symbolize and centralize so many aspects of what will make for a smarter planet: smarter education, smarter healthcare, smarter water and energy use, smarter public safety, smarter transportation, and smarter government … to name but a few.
The research of the Smart Cities group focuses on intelligent, sustainable buildings, mobility systems, and cities. It explores the application of new technologies to enabling urban energy efficiency and sustainability, enhanced opportunity and equity, and cultural creativity. The group is particularly concerned with the emerging roles of networked intelligence in fabrication and construction, urban mobility, building design and intelligently responsive operation, and public space. It takes a broadly multidisciplinary approach, not constrained by traditional boundaries.

A still from the music video 'Go To Town"
Doja Cat – Amala
The viral "Mooo!" performer is not a one-note act.
by Elias Baez
Doja Cat's major label debut Amala (Kemosabe Records/RCA Records) sounds like it sprung fully-formed from the forehead of 2018, draped in honeyed synths, serpentine bass-lines, and sugary trap snares. Here, she's left behind the hopeless and barred-out heroine of Purrr! (2014) for a brighter persona, with a range of scenes and emotions more rose-gold than ultraviolet. (You should still go back and listen to "No Police," though.)
"Go To Town" and "Cookie Jar" are the tracks which showcase the zany, larger-than-life sides of Doja most clearly. "Go To Town" is an eat-me-out banger, and the clearest potential sleeper hit from Amala. The track is brash, wacky, and clever, like a Glossier version of her bovine hit. "Cookie Jar," the second track, is also lyrically absurdist ("I got extra taco but you better bring that macho grip") but she delivers that energy at a way more chaotic and ecstatic pitch than the more calculated "Go To Town" can.
Other songs on Amala burn more slowly, like "Wine Pon You," "Roll With Us," or "Morning Light." These shift the emphasis from the anthemic toward the more vulnerable and dramatic possibilities of Doja's voice. The vocal production crystallizes Doja's melodies with glassy harmonies and layers, pitch-shifts and self-samples. This album feels like the final product of an artist ready for wider public reception.
All in all, Amala is a strong and singular debut record. Buy or stream the album wherever, so that Doja can take care of her cat.
