The Australian Energy Market Operator has warned of potential volatility and 'short falls' across the electricity grid in coming years due to the increased uptake of renewable energy and the closure of coal-fired power stations. AEMO's recently released 2020 System Strength and Inertia Report says there are increasing indications that, "in the near future, projected system strength may be insufficient in NSW, Queensland and Victoria". Much of the uncertainty about the future stability of the grid revolves around the looming closure of Liddell power station in 2023. "The system strength and inertia outcomes are heavily influenced by the potential for changes in operational profiles of coal-fired generation and increasing levels of distributed and utility scale inverter-based resources (renewables)," the report says. "... future decommitment or flexible operation of large synchronous generators at times of low or minimum demand in the region may lead to system strength shortfalls at the Newcastle and Sydney West fault level nodes....the timing, magnitude and likelihood of system strength shortfalls for Newcastle and Sydney West is uncertain." Concern about potential grid instability and unreliability is an issue that industry analysts have been warning about for several years. Chair of the Energy Security Board Kerry Schott previously told the Hunter Business Chamber that while the rooftop solar boom was undoubtedly helping to drive bills and emissions down, it also had the potential to wreak havoc on power grids. The Hunter has an average rooftop solar penetration of 21 per cent. However, homes in Perth and Brisbane and Adelaide have a rooftop solar uptake of about 30 per cent. "In the middle of the day the power demand on the grid is zero," Dr Schott said. "If you are running a distribution company and power demand goes from reasonably high levels in the breakfast peak to nothing at noon, then it becomes difficult to manage." READ MORE: The AEMO report also highlights the challenge of integrating hundreds of physically remote renewable energy generators into the grid compared to traditional power stations that are located close to energy distribution infrastructure. " The power system was planned and designed around large thermal and hydro synchronous generation. Most of the power system design has historically been centred around the characteristics of a system dominated by these power stations, and as such they are currently relied upon for provision of a range of system services needed to keep the system secure," the report says. "These power stations were located near their energy sources, which is different to where newer renewable generators are located. This means the efficient redesign of the power system of the future will likely require provision of system services in new locations." The challenges and uncertainties associated with a transition to renewable-dominated energy grid were also identified by the federal government taskforce established to prepare for the closure of the Liddell power station in April 2023. The taskforce found that closing the plant without adequate dispatchable replacement capacity risked forcing energy prices up by 30 per cent over two years or $20 per megawatt hour to $80 in 2024 and up to $105 per megawatt hour by 2030. The federal government has seized on the upcoming closure of Liddell to argue for the construction of a gas-fired power station at Kurri to increase grid stability. The government is expected to announce whether it will proceed with the project, which would be funded by Snowy Hydro 2.0, in the first half of 2021. The state government declared the project, proposed for the former Kurri Kurri aluminum smelter site, as Critical State Significant Infrastructure last week. "Gas-fired power stations will have a critical role to play in ensuring our energy security as we transition to a low-carbon emissions economy with renewable energy projects such as wind and solar," Planning Minister Rob Stokes said last week. However, many in the electricity generation industry argue it is not necessary. AGL says it is well advanced in its plans to replace the capacity to be lost through the closure of Liddell with renewable energy projects. "AGL has led investment in Australia's energy market, including the building of the only new gas generation on the east coast in the last seven years at Barker Inlet, the investment in a 100 megawatt efficiency upgrade at our Bayswater power station and the development of other firming and storage technology," AGL chief executive Brett Redman told the Newcastle Herald. Mr Redman said the proposed Newcastle gas-fired power station at Tomago had strategic, economic, efficiency and environmental benefits for the national market. "We've made good progress on this proposed development at Newcastle with the environment approval process underway and a final investment decision expected by early 2021." "The future of energy requires a combination of technologies and gas is a critical part of that transition, as are renewables and firming technology. We will continue to lead investment in line with the market drivers of customer choice, technology and community needs.

"These power stations were located near their energy sources, which is different to where newer renewable generators are located. This means the efficient redesign of the power system of the future will likely require provision of system services in new locations."
The challenges and uncertainties associated with a transition to renewable-dominated energy grid were also identified by the federal government taskforce established to prepare for the closure of the Liddell power station in April 2023.
The taskforce found that closing the plant without adequate dispatchable replacement capacity risked forcing energy prices up by 30 per cent over two years or $20 per megawatt hour to $80 in 2024 and up to $105 per megawatt hour by 2030.
The federal government has seized on the upcoming closure of Liddell to argue for the construction of a gas-fired power station at Kurri to increase grid stability.
The government is expected to announce whether it will proceed with the project, which would be funded by Snowy Hydro 2.0, in the first half of 2021.
The state government declared the project, proposed for the former Kurri Kurri aluminum smelter site, as Critical State Significant Infrastructure last week.
"Gas-fired power stations will have a critical role to play in ensuring our energy security as we transition to a low-carbon emissions economy with renewable energy projects such as wind and solar," Planning Minister Rob Stokes said last week.
However, many in the electricity generation industry argue it is not necessary.
AGL says it is well advanced in its plans to replace the capacity to be lost through the closure of Liddell with renewable energy projects.
"AGL has led investment in Australia's energy market, including the building of the only new gas generation on the east coast in the last seven years at Barker Inlet, the investment in a 100 megawatt efficiency upgrade at our Bayswater power station and the development of other firming and storage technology," AGL chief executive Brett Redman told the Newcastle Herald.
Mr Redman said the proposed Newcastle gas-fired power station at Tomago had strategic, economic, efficiency and environmental benefits for the national market.
"We've made good progress on this proposed development at Newcastle with the environment approval process underway and a final investment decision expected by early 2021."
"The future of energy requires a combination of technologies and gas is a critical part of that transition, as are renewables and firming technology. We will continue to lead investment in line with the market drivers of customer choice, technology and community needs.

Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan to use middle school recreation centers after school beginning Monday
Manhattan's two middle school recreation centers will be reserved for youth activities for a few hours in the afternoon on school days, part of a new partnership between the city and the Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan beginning Monday.
The Boys & Girls Club will utilize space in the facilities at Anthony and Eisenhower Middle Schools between 2:45 and 5:30 p.m. those days – otherwise remaining open to the public during normal hours on those days and all day on weekends and non-school days. The agreement will last at least through the end of the school year in 2023.
"This is going to bring more structure to [the centers]," City Manager Ron Fehr said at Tuesday's meeting of the Manhattan City Commission.
According to a news release on the topic, Interim Parks and Recreation Director Wyatt Thompson says the school-adjacent facilities saw high usage from students after schools let out and proved difficult at times for the department to manage.
"The Boys & Girls Club has the necessary expertise and resources to provide safe, effective after-school programming opportunities for our youth," Thompson says.
The Boys & Girls Club already provides after-school programming at Anthony and Eisenhower in coordination with the USD 383 school district, with Fehr referring to the new partnership as an expansion of those existing programs. He says there are also provisions in the City of Manhattan's memorandum of understanding with BGC allowing them to back out of the arrangement if it did not work out.
"We certainly have the Douglass Community Center," Fehr says, "where folks could go to do some of those activities if that's a time frame that folks are looking for some of the exercise and capabilities within those facilities."
Boys & Girls Club CEO Hannah Coash says they look forward to the expansion of their programming, calling the partnership 'a very exciting opportunity for youth in the Manhattan community.'
City commissioners Tuesday were largely supportive of the memorandum, though Mayor Linda Morse questioned whether there was a way to keep part of the facility open to the public during BGC programming.
"We're allowing these 50 or 60 students after school to run everybody else out," Morse says.
Fehr says the initial goal of the ballot initiative that funded the two middle school facilities was to create a recreation center that the school district would utilize most of the day, with the city being able to program the space in the evenings and weekends.
Designs changed into the split use concept over time in the course of their development – half school and half public use – with USD 383 currently getting priority access to part of both centers on school days. Under this new schedule, the facilities will be fully utilized by USD 383 and BGC on school days between 2:45 and 5:30 p.m.
Fehr also noted BGC has goals to increase its program rosters, and called the partnership worthy to try and bring more structure to after school activities at the facilities.
Commissioner Usha Reddi was understanding of the mayor's interest, though expressed support for the partnership in light of the city's difficulty managing high volumes of patrons after school.
"We also don't have a YMCA or anywhere else for these children, students to go," Reddi says. "And one of the predominant crises in our community has been there isn't a place for adolescents to hang out."
Commissioner Wynn Butler called the unstructured after school activities at the middle school centers a problem, saying the facilities saw groups of 100 youths at a time.
"They did things like grab basketballs and throw them at people that were on the running track and they chased people off the pickleball courts – they were out of control," Butler says. "I think this is a great solution."
Fehr says information was handed out regarding the partnership and signing up for BGC programming at Back to School Night events at the middle schools. Their website is BGClubManhattan.com.

Q: How to check if a Double has java rounding? Is there anyway to check if a Double has java rounding e.g. -260.01079999999996
I have one system that passes a computed Double value. By right should be -260.0108.

A: When using floats and doubles, the "issues" with rounding are due to the limitations of digital computers.
If you don't want rounding, use integers. If you need to save a number with a fixed number of digits after comma, use a BigDecimal; or always round your double at Xth digit after comma; or use the number as integer while dividing or multiplying it by 10^n before showing in view (elaboration below).
For example, you could save -2600108 as integer and a factor 1000. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and saving work flawlessly and without side-effects in this case. Division needs doubles though.

A: If you know from external evidence that the exact answer at a certain point in your code must be an integer, round to nearest integer there.
Otherwise, you get the most accurate double result by carrying the full precision through your calculations, using DecimalFormat to print only the meaningful digits.
There is nothing special about "java rounding". The special thing is that the default output preserves enough digits to uniquely identify the double. Many other languages, by default, round to fewer digits, losing accuracy but making results look tidier.
Using BigDecimal is a major win if every number in the calculation can be exactly represented as a short decimal fraction. That often happens for currency calculations. However, as soon as you hit a fraction such as 1/3 that cannot be exactly represented by any finite number of decimal digits, you have to deal with rounding error anyway. For many financial calculations, there are fixed rules for rounding.
In theory, BigDecimal could also be used to get extra precision, but that is rarely practical.

LORD JIM —- There is a lot to like in this eye-filling adventure, and that makes the films 'close but no cigar' all the more frustrating. Directed, written & produced by Richard Brooks, liberally taken Joseph Conrad's book, the story concerns the soul-wracking wanderings of a British seaman in the Far East, circa 1900. Jim (Peter O'Toole), due to cowardice during a storm at sea and subsequent public disgrace, plunges into a quest for heroic redemption: trying to save a remote Malay ('Patusan') village from ruthless scoundrels.
Sounds great, and much of it is: producer Brooks soaks the film in atmosphere, lushly evoking the mysterious East with expensive ($10,000,000 LBJ bucks) location filming in Hong Kong, Malacca, Singapore and best—Cambodia, using wondrous Angkor Wat as a stand-in for Patusan. He rounded up a real rogues gallery of supporting players–talk about accents—just imagine James Mason, Eli Wallach, Curt Jurgens and Akim Tamiroff at their seediest and most degenerate, throw in the mellifluous Paul Lukas as a representative of decency and then top it off with that voice-among-voices, Jack Hawkins, intoning the narration ("he sought, at last, to become part of that nameless flotsam he'd so recently scorned").
Feast your eyes on the steaming, liquid beauty of Dahlia Lavi: the 22-year-old Israeli easily one of the more heart-stopping visions of the day. The films great poster art— of O'Toole in his tropic sailor togs— is alone enough to pull you in. Bronislau Kaper's score complements and the lengthy action sequences are certainly proficient, if not exactly dynamic.
Brooks' scripting hits and misses. Some great dialogue (Mason has the best line: "You have a natural talent for disaster. Try and improve yourself into an ordinary failure by keeping your mouth shut."), but there are a few too many sententious speeches, and the plot structure is lopsided. Even though the pace is languid at 154 minutes, going full-bore and making it three hours could have better fleshed out the allure the backwater holds for our hero. Instead, the second half lurches into action mode and stays there for the duration of the film, leaving much of the existential torment of 'Tuan' Jim up to us to fill in. The only help we're given comes from the films biggest flaw, the miscasting of its protagonist.
It's one thing to have an intrinsically strong man tormented by doubts: it's another to watch a guy suffer so masochistically that he practically bleeds through his pores. Peter floats through the film looking like he's about to be flail-kicked. He suffers and suffers and virtually creaks with agony as he whispers his dialogue. C'mon. Burton would have been a better choice.
In fairness to O'Toole, who I love, this was his most limpid work, and the actor himself spoke unsparingly of his err in taking the role and how he played it. His journal delightfully recounted the "hell" and "nightmare" of three months in Cambodia, where Prince Sihanouk and anti-western tension eventually ran the production out of the country.
Freddie Young handled the lensing. Box office returns made it the 14th highest grosser of 1965, but they didn't come close to matching the outlay. Reviews were generally negative and the combative Brooks took it on the chin. He'd obsessed over the project for years, buying the rights in 1957, and claimed to have read Conrad's murky book fifty-two times.
If you can put up with the whimperer conjured less from Conrad than from Brooks & O'Toole, then the venture's other virtues make it well worth seeing. Then, go visit Angkor: simply one of the most staggeringly beautiful monuments in all the World.

Kirk speaks about tough cases as a county attorney
Former Otter Tail County Attorney Michael Kirk, who later became a judge, spoke Oct. 22 during the annual meeting of the county historical society held at the Pelican Rapids VFW. (Photo by Tom Hintgen / Otter Tail County Correspondent)
PELICAN RAPIDS -- The role of a county attorney can be especially difficult from a psychological perspective, former Otter Tail County Attorney Michael Kirk said.
Kirk spoke Oct. 22 at the annual meeting of the Otter Tail County Historical Society at the Pelican Rapids VFW.
"It's especially tough as a county attorney when you have crimes committed that are harmful to children," he said.
Kirk served as county attorney for Otter Tail County from 1978 to 1989.
He became a district court judge in 1989 when he was appointed by Minnesota Gov. Rudy Perpich. He was elected to six-year terms by voters in 1992, 1998, 2004 and 2010.
Kirk later became chief judge with the Seventh Judicial District. In 2012 he was appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton to served on the Court of Appeals and is now a senior judge.
When he first became county attorney in the 1970s, he wanted to gain a better insight of law enforcement. To that end he rode along with county sheriff deputies on weekends.
Kirk became a close friend of county sheriff's Deputy Andy Lindquist who also was chairman of the Dane Prairie Township board, southeast of Fergus Falls and southwest of Underwood.
"Andy used to kiddingly call me Captain Kirk, in reference to the 'Star Trek' television series," Kirk said.
Kirk graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Law and served in private practice from 1975 to 1978 with the Williams and Nitz Law Firm in Fergus Falls.

Club Penguin Army Headquarters Opening Statement
KLONDIKE, CPA Headquarters – Welcome to Club Penguin Army Headquarters, the new home for all army news! It is a great honor of mine to return to the helm of a website in this community, and I would like to give you a chance to learn about CPAHQ and it's purpose.
Before I begin, I would like to talk about how my time in armies has led me to this position: Director in Chief of CPAHQ. I began working in media in 2013 for Club Penguin Army Focus. From there, I quickly transitioned to Small Medium Army Central, and then on to Club Penguin Army Central, where I split my time between there and Small Medium Army Press before my retirement in 2016. I started off writing reports but shifted to writing editorials when I got to CPAC. In 2019, I was a league administrator for Club Penguin Armies, the then leading home for Club Penguin Rewritten Armies. I've spent the past year as an advisor at Club Penguin Army Media and Club Penguin Army Hub.
Now with the humble brags out of the way, let's get down to business. Building CPAHQ has been a collaborative process. A team of experienced individuals have banded together to make this website possible, in a time where the community so desperately needs a sense of normalcy. When discussing with each other, it was a foregone conclusion that armies needed to return to their traditional values for the near future. CPAHQ has been set up as if it's descendants were websites of the past.
In the olden days we oh so love to talk about, armies operated without a league format. Affairs were much less connected, meaning a news site was necessary to cover the going-ons in the community. The news site operated as a press agency, not as an authoritative agency. As a news site, CPAHQ is not a governing system. This site exists solely to report activity from armies. This will help foster the community we have, creating a place where people can digest information without worrying about hidden agendas and bureaucratic nonsense. A place where the reader is allowed to come to their own conclusions. And a place where the reader is safe and out of harms way.
CPAHQ will begin without components that some community members are used to. The first one being that there is no longer a main chat on our Discord server. After two years of attempting to police the masses, it's become evident that we can longer have a main chat without putting people in it in danger. The main chat was used as a leverage piece by many people, and quite simply, it was often an unenjoyable place regardless. CPAHQ will also not be operating a league for the time being. This topic was spoken about at great lengths, and it was concluded that the timing just isn't right for a league to return. We would like to explore it's possibilities at a later date, but right now, we are only focused on providing news to the community. And lastly, because of the absence of a league, we are not launching with a judging team. This is another thing that will be explored down the road, though it will be discussed about sooner than a league is.
The above variables have torn apart community hubs for two years straight now. But what is CPAHQ bringing to the table? The administration team is ready to provide the community with fast, eloquent, and informative news on all things pertaining to armies, as well as thought-provoking editorials about our community. We are prioritizing safety within the community, as made evident by our limiting of features that have proven to be troublesome. Lastly, we are excited to explore ways to get the community to have fun together, whether that is through tournaments, site competitions, or engagement through pieces of media.
Before I share a statement from KingFunks4, I would like to briefly discuss the inner components of CPAHQ. We are operating on a much smaller staff than our predecessor did, and have streamlined positions to be taxing on people who have gallantly stepped up to work for the community. Every staff member is united in the vision of making this website reliable and enjoyable. That is the sole focus of our goals to growing CPAHQ.
KingFunks4 has been instrumental in setting up CPAHQ as a whole. As such, he offered some words to the community:
There is no doubt that this has been the rockiest month in CP Armies since the transition to CPPS in 2017, with some huge challenges for armies to overcome. I have been so impressed and delighted with the response of armies during the past month, with armies working together to try and overcome these issues – even those that were against one another in some of the biggest wars last year. It is this determination that is the reason we are still standing 15 years on from our inception.
However, these challenges, including the closure of flash and safety concerns, did inevitably result in the closure of CP Army Hub. CP Army Hub acted as one of the most successful news sites and leagues in the CPPS Army era, but it would be poor decisions and a lack of communication that would ultimately result in its closure. We felt that now was the time to launch a new media website for CP Armies, which would once again act as the centre for all armies. Without such existence, we truly do lack somewhere for the community to mix and be aware of what is going on outside the confines of their own army discord. However, my promise to you is that we will take any concerns seriously, and the way in which we operate will rely on the input of all of our advisors and administrators, who come from all across our community.
We hope that you appreciate that in the comings few months we will not be operating as a league, meaning there will be no rule setting or map, which DMT has discussed in more detail in this post. Putting aside the operational concerns that this would raise, we have also consulted major army leaders and feel that there is no appetite for such a structure at this moment in time.
I look forward to being involved in helping the administrators and editors behind the scenes to launch the latest CP Army news site. My end goal is not in doubt – we do not want to be a short-term fix. My goal is to ensure that CP Army HQ is here to stay, and to be a name that everybody remembers and respects. As a former four-time CPA Central CEO, I know that no website has come close to emulating the sustained success of this website – but there is no reason that this can not be our aim, and we will try our best to reach this standard for the good of the whole community, which needs a trustworthy and well run news site to move forward into the post-flash era.
Funks shares the sentiment that all of our lovely administration team has for you all. We cannot thank you enough for your cooperation and your dedication to keeping this community alive.
The entire staff of CPAHQ is excited to embark on this adventure, and we hope you are along for the ride.

Being a news site first was always in my eyes the most vital thing for CP Army Central to do. You simply can not govern through force and no one had the right to govern something that was simply a creation of fun. I rate the fact that you guys are putting news first as it should be. People in this community will have come to either like or hate me, but the one thing I hope is constant with them all, is they know the dedication, the love and the passion that I had from day one for this. For bringing together a community united in knowledge, discussion and entertainment.
While I do not believe the team here believes there is a role for me to play, I do want to just wish you all well, I want to extend my hand and congratulate you all on this. I sincerely hope that this works out for you all. I want to give a special mention to Kingfunks, Supa Em and Orange. All three are on the Board of Advisors and all three have been members of the CPAC 5 faction that was formed earlier this year! These three guys are some of the most talented people that ever stepped foot into this community, regardless of generation.
I sit here simply shocked that Club Penguin Armies have manged to withstand the test of time, but with times like this – it becomes clear why. We love this. We care about this! It's okay to hang on to that little piece of our childhood and take that wth us as we continue into later life – and that's a concept I never truly understood.
While it's no secret that there are plenty of people involved in this site that could not care if I lived or died, and many of them have good reason: I want to wish you all luck on building this site. I want this to succeed. While I'm not active in the community or even discord any more, I have a handful of good friends that I have made over the years on my personal social media networks. I'm sure that they will remain on my networks even after I'm gone
I wish every single person reading this a happy and safe year with all the success you can think of. Goodbye!
Superhero123 February 8, 2021 (9:33 pm)
I also told you in DMs, but thank you for this very sweet comment, really means a lot to everyone in CPAHQ :D!

What Is Iodised Salt? Is It The Only Way To Get Iodine In Your Diet?
Close to 2 million people are grappling with iodine deficiency around the world.
NDTV Food | Updated: October 23, 2017 12:08 IST
"Iodine is essential for healthy brain development in the fetus and young child. Iodine deficiency negatively affects the health of women, as well as economic productivity and quality of life," WHO.
Iodine deficiency has long been linked to a condition called goiter. Our thyroid glands depend on iodine to regulate and secrete hormones. Iodine deficiency, therefore, gives rise to an enlarged thyroid (endemic goiter). Lack of iodine has also been linked to neurological and gastrointestinal disorders as well as slow metabolism, hypothyroidism and weight gain. While the iodine required by our body is easily met through the diet of those living in coastal areas and consuming saltwater seafood, others may not usually get enough iodine from their daily diet. Therefore, fortifying foods with iodine was deemed essential by international health regulatory bodies.
While reports suggest that close to 2 million people are grappling with iodine deficiency around the world, using iodised salts has long been seen as an inexpensive and highly effective medium to promote good health, prevent non-communicable diseases like goiter and other neurological and development disorders. According to the American Thyroid Association, "Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of the thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Approximately 40% of the world's population remains at risk for iodine deficiency. Iodine is present naturally in soil and seawater." says the official website.

Some of the food items and ingredients that contain small amounts of iodine would include milk, yogurt, cheese, saltwater ingredients, eggs, soymilk and soy sauce. Areas where easy availability of these items becomes difficult largely depend on iodized salts as the only way to source iodine from the diet.
"Iodised salts were developed to create a standard product that would supply iodine to one and all. Since it is required in small quantities, salt proved as an apt carrier as people usually have a standard intake pattern for salt. Consuming iodised salt is not necessary and not consuming it won't necessarily translate into a person becoming iodine deficient. It is similar to the case of vitamin D. Since Vitamin D is naturally present in such few food ingredients, supplements or fortified foods tend to become a more feasible ways to source it," shares Dr. Sunil Sharma, Head of Emergency and General Physician at Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital, Delhi.
Experts suggest that the rising trend of 'clean eating' and most people getting allergic or intolerant to milk may give rise to nutritional deficiency. Seafood is high in iodine, but not everyone enjoys eating seafood. Given our ever-changing contemporary diets, choosing iodised salts as a way to give the body its daily dose of iodine may be a good option.

It Turns Out Elizabeth Holmes Was a Massive Fraud, and the Media Helped Create Her
How the media helped create the legend of Elizabeth Holmes, and enabled her fraud in the process.
By Dustin McKissenFounder and CEO, McKissen + Company@DMcKissen
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with defrauding investors of $700 million. As a part of her settlement, Holmes will step away from the company and pay a $500,000 fine.
It's worth asking how someone could commit nearly a billion dollars of fraud and now just lose control of her company. Of course, at one point it was worth asking how a company founded by a then 19-year- old could invent a new, less-invasive way of drawing blood from patients. Such an innovation has long eluded the medical community--until Holmes came along.
Or at least that was the story she was trying to sell.
Writers who create glowing profiles of entrepreneurs and celebrity CEOs did their best to help Holmes sell her story. Magazines, including Inc., wrote about how she was "America's New Entrepreneurial Icon." They called her the "Achiever of the Year." They shared "21 Surprising Facts" about Elizabeth Holmes, which included information about what she wore to the office (a black turtleneck, like her hero Steve Jobs) and what she learned in high school (Mandarin).
The list did not include the most surprising fact of all, which was that (at least at the time) Theranos was a sham and Holmes was engaged in fraud.
In the collective rush to feed a constant hype machine and make celebrities out of anyone with even the slightest bit of charisma, the media helped create the legend of Elizabeth Holmes. That legend enabled Holmes' fraud, and the victims of her fraud weren't just yacht-owning venture capitalists. Employees who believed in Holmes and Theranos lost their jobs, and now must contend with a résumé that includes the Silicon Valley equivalent of Enron.
The rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes is a reminder that just because someone seems dynamic does not mean there is actual substance beyond the black turtleneck. Sometimes--especially in the startup world--what exists behind the buzzwords is little more than ruthless ambition and unrestrained greed wrapped in good PR.
Those reporting on people like Holmes can do better. They can hold ourselves to a higher standard. They can focus on issues of substance and avoid the click-driven temptation to celebritize anyone with a good story and a camera-friendly face.
They can strive to write and create things that they can be proud of years after they've written them.
They can also use a little common sense. Doctors and healthcare professionals do not know everything and are not perfect, but if millions of them haven't figured out how to reinvent a basic and very unpleasant procedure, the odds that a 19-year-old college dropout has the solution is remote.
Frauds and corporate con artists have always existed.
But their cons were a little harder to pull off in an age when there weren't thousands of bloggers rushing to be the first to publish a post raving about what the visionary con artist said at the latest festival fetishizing "innovation."
Elizabeth Holmes would have tried to defraud investors with or without the help of writers like me.
Still, when the next Elizabeth Holmes walks onstage in his or her turtleneck, lake a moment before writing a 600-word post anointing them as the savior of whatever industry they are trying to disrupt.
In other words, make the con a little harder.

Several weeks ago, a dedicated group of volunteers set out into the milkweed fields to rescue monarch eggs and caterpillars, just before the Reserve's annual mowing. This is the third annual Monarch Rescue effort, and this year the results were sobering. After nearly three hours of searching the undersides of milkweed leaves, our team of fourteen only came up with two caterpillars (and one already empty monarch egg case). In 2010, 37 eggs and 25 caterpillars were rescued by our team, and in 2012 we rescued 90 eggs and 22 caterpillars (we didn't have a Rescue in 2011).
Scientists in the monarch's wintering grounds in Mexico documented a 59 percent decrease in butterflies last year. Loss of habitat, drought, the use of pesticides, and climate change are all thought to play a role.
TOTE 2013: Climate Stewards in Action!
The nearly 40 people who attended Dr. Stephen Mulkey's "Crisis and Opportunity in the Environmental Century" Climate Stewards lecture in mid-May left with a clear message: We are out of time and we must act now.
Mulkey began his talk with a quote from David Orr, "All education is environmental education… by what is included or excluded we teach the young that they are part of, or apart from, the natural world." Mulkey spoke of his (incredible) work as President of Unity College, becoming the first college in the country to divest from fossil fuels, as well as recently integrating climate change education across the entire curriculum. Unity's students study the complexity of interactions among the economy, society, and nature--a framework for the future known as "sustainability science."
Sending a big thank you to the generous team of children and adults who participated in yesterday's Laudholm Beach clean-up! We found cans, bottles, cigarette butts, fishing/lobster gear, a brush, comb, dock float, rope, ribbon, styrofoam, plastic bits, and some beach stabilization debris.
Prior to the clean-up, some of us watched the public film screening of "Bag It" in the auditorium. I hope that everyone (we recommend ages 12 and up) on the planet sees this film! It really does a fantastic job of presenting a global picture of the effects that our plastic waste has on the environment...and inspires its viewers to take action!
Jennifer Hatch, Marketing Manager for ReVision Energy, provided an informative introduction to solar energy options for homeowners on Wednesday evening in Mather Auditorium. Over 40 people attended this Climate Stewards evening lecture, and one lucky winner, Mr. Jed Thomas, went home with the solar charger door prize (below)!
On Monday, a 13-ton machine rolled down the reserve's "F field" to make habitat for a 2-pound rabbit. The "Easter Excavator," a Caterpillar 311, was specially modified for working in sensitive areas such as ours. Despite its burly bearing, the excavator exerted less than 5½ pounds of pressure per square inch on the work site. Evidence of its visit is visible along the Muskie Trail for now, but as the grassland greens up this spring the fresh signs should quickly fade away.

Introduction: Modern egg production sometimes imposes stressful breeding conditions for animals. Sensorial pleasure allows the release some neuro-hormones like dopamine or endorphins which have anti-stress properties (ESCH, 2004). Birds were traditionally thought to have a very poor sense of smell, but since 1999 confirmed in 2004, the chicken genome sequence has revealed a number of olfactive receptor genes comparable to humans (STEIGER, 2008). The idea behind sensory stimulation by a sensory feed additive is to take advantage of the important role of olfaction to improve well-being and reduce the impact of stress reaction by creating a positive sensory experience.
Materials and methods: The effect of a sensory feed additive based on both specific and purified plant extracts (VéO®Premium, Laboratoires PHODE - 250g / Mt of complete feed), was measured on 1080 Bovans white females grown from 14 days of age to 25 weeks including 10 weeks of laying production at IIIA experimental station. They were randomly distributed into 30 flocks of 36 animals each. Live body weight (LBW, n=2x200), Feed Intake (FI, n=2x16) and egg production (n=2x16) were measured weekly until week 15 (W15) and every two weeks during laying period. Animals were vaccinated against Gumboro disease at day 5 and 30 of age. 45 bird for each treatment were blood collected for Gumboro antibody titration. Results were analyzed using Fisher test (homogeneity) and ANOVA.
Results and discussion: During the rearing period (14 to 105 days), no significant difference was observed between the two groups for LWB (1,094kg ±0,070 vs. 1,095kg ±0,085), respectively for VéO and Control. The homogeneity of the pullets LWB from the VéO group was significantly better (p<0.02) at transition time to production barn (15 weeks of age). The Gumboro immune response was significantly higher (+30 to +50%, p<0.002) after 75 days in the VéO pullets group, suggesting a better efficiency of the immune system.
During the start of the laying phase (W18 to W25), laying rate (LR) increased more rapidly in VéO flocks compared to control ones. During the two last weeks of the trial (W24-25), the LR measured from VéO group was significantly higher (p<0.001) compared to control one (92.5% ±4.6 vs. 86.0% ± 6.7). At the same time, the eggs weight (EW) increased more rapidly than control ones. During the period W24-25, eggs weighed from VéO group were significantly heavier (p<0.002) than control ones, respectively 53.6g ± 0.9 vs. 50.9g ± 1.2. These results suggest that VéO®Premium feed additive helps birds to better adapt themselves to critical periods like the start of laying beginning or peak of it. These performances improvements (LR and EW), from W18 to W25, increase significantly (p<0.01) egg mass production (respectively 28.1kg ± 2.6 vs. 25.1kg ± 2.8). The Feed Conversion Ratio was significantly lower in VéO laying hens compared to control at the same period, respectively 4.27 ± 0.08 vs. 4.64 ± 0.09.
Conclusion and Implications By improving LBW homogeneity at 15 weeks of age, VéO®Premium feed additive generates a positive sensory experience that makes the laying hens better prepared to face transition to laying cages. These results suggest that VéO®Premium has a global effect that allows animals to better adapt themselves to difficult times.

Q: Excel 2007 - 13 Changing sheets to one master sheet Ok Hi everybody,
I've been looking into this and trying to figure it out for a couple days now. I've found things close but nothing matches what I need.
I have 13 departments here and each department has a sheet with issues that need to be resolved.  What I need is when each of those departments updates their excel sheet with an issue it updates on the master list (which is in the same workbook). Since people are constantly deleting and adding the formula would need to stay.
Would it be easier to have them enter the data on the master sheet and have that go into the individual files? If so how would I even do that? Thanks in advance.  I'm trying to see if an advance filter or something would work but can't get it just right.

A: You will need to adjust the names in my code but if you paste this code in each of your department sheets (not the master list) you should get your desired result:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim i As Integer
Dim xlws As Excel.Worksheet

Set xlws = ActiveSheet

For i = 1 To 13

    If IsEmpty(xlws.Cells(2, i).Value) = True Then
        Exit Sub
    End If

Next

Dim xlwsMaster As Excel.Worksheet
Set xlwsMaster = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("master list")

i = 1

Do While IsEmpty(xlwsMaster.Range("A" & i).Value) = False
    i = i + 1
Loop

xlws.Range("A2:M2").Copy

xlwsMaster.Range("A" & i).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll

xlws.Range("A2:M2").Clear

End Sub

every time there is a change on one of those sheets it will check to see if all the values of a through m are filled if they are it copies a2:m2 and pastes it at the first empty row on the master list and then clears a2:m2 on the sheet in question

Type of Nuclear weapon
The W76 warhead and Mk-4 re-entry vehicle (cutaway diagram) – Los Alamos National Labs image

Contact, airburst
Blast yield
100 kt (W76-0)
90 kt (W76-1)
The W76 is a United States thermonuclear warhead, designed for use on the UGM-96 Trident I sea-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and subsequently moved to the UGM-133 Trident II as Trident I was phased out of service. The first variant, the W76 mod 0 (W76-0) was manufactured from 1978 to 1987, and was gradually replaced by the W76 mod 1 (W76-1) between 2008 and 2018, completely replacing the Mod 0 in the active stockpile. In 2018 it was announced that some Mod 1 warheads would be converted to a new low-yield W76 mod 2 (W76-2) version. The first Mod 2 warheads were deployed in late 2019.
The warhead was initially manufactured from 1978 to 1987 and designed by Los Alamos National Laboratory. It was initially fitted to the Trident I SLBM system, but after the Rocky Flats plant where its successor the W88 was being made was shut down in 1989 after a production run of only 400 warheads, it was decided to transfer W76 warheads to Trident II.[2]
A life extension program (LEP) for 800 warheads was approved by the US government in 2000, then later increased to 2,000.[3] The purpose of the LEP was extend service life by 20 years and add new safety features. Production on the W76-1 started in September 2008 and the National Nuclear Security Administration completed updating all W76-0 warheads to the W76-1 design in December 2018.[4]
The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review announced that a new variant, the W76-2, would be manufactured.[5] The W76-2 variant is described as a low-yield warhead, estimated at about 5-7 kilotons of TNT equivalent.[6] The National Nuclear Security Administration announced that it had started to manufacture the W76-2 in January 2019. Initial operating capability was expected in the final quarter of 2019,[7] and manufacturing is expected to last through FY2024[8] at the Pantex Plant.[9] According to FAS, the W76-2 warhead was first deployed with USS Tennessee during its late 2019 operational patrol.[10] The US Department of Defense confirmed in February 2020 that W76-2 had been 'fielded'.[11]
The warhead is currently the most numerous weapon in the US nuclear arsenal,[12] having replaced the 50 kt W68 that was fitted to the Poseidon SLBM in that capacity.
The W76-0 had a design yield of 100 kt while its replacement the W76-1 has a yield of 90 kt. The W76-2 has an estimated yield of 5 to 7 kt.[13]
The W76-0 was fitted inside a Mk4 reentry vehicle (reentry body in US Navy parlance) while the W76-1 and -2 are fitted inside the new Mk4A reentry vehicle. Reentry vehicle and warhead weight is estimated to be approximately 95 kilograms (209 lb).[1]
During the W76-1 LEP, the warhead was fitted with a new MC4700 arming, fuzing and firing (AF&F) system. The MC4700 AF&F system increases warhead kill probabilities against hard targets such as silos and bunkers, and achieves this by detonating the warhead over the target if its on-board computer calculates that it has overshot its target. In comparison, a warhead without such a smart fuze would, when overshooting a target, continue flying, leaving the half-sphere above the target where detonating would destroy the target, and crash into the ground where the warhead's impact fuze would detonate the warhead, outside the kill radius.[14]

Sport letters: Sunday, July 18, 2004
The "debate" goes on! Or does it? Well the vitriol from certain sectors of the former Warriors' heartland continues to pour forth.
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from Wales Online - Swansea
Fan-ing the flames
The "debate" goes on! Or does it? Well the vitriol from certain sectors of the former Warriors' heartland continues to pour forth. However, this is rarely accompanied by real FACTS.
In your paper on July 4 2004 you published a letter from Mr J Evans, a Warrior/Ponty fan, who questioned the commitment of some of the "faithful". In WoS, published on the 12th July, Kevin McGrath bites back. Let's examine his comments: " gates of 10,000 plus against Wasps, 7,000 against Perpignon and 5,000 against Munster and Cardiff (which were both televised live) shows that the region was building a considerable supporters' base that compared favourably with Cardiff, Newport and the Neath/Swansea axis ."
Now for real facts! Below are the average home attendances for the Welsh "home" Celtic League games. The figures are taken from the Celtic League's website and compiled by myself!
Team Total Average % of Wales average
Llanelli 65,980 5,998 28.37%
Blues 48,040 4,367 23.50%
Dragons 44,468 4,043 19.12%
Ospreys 43,295 3,936 18.62%
Warriors 30,757 2,796 13.23%
The Warriors hardly shape up as he'd have us believe.
Mr McGrath added that the Warriors were: " building a base that compares favourably ." I'll let the general mass of readers evaluate that comment for themselves! I probably should not mention that even GLASGOW had better attendance figures than the "Rugby Heartland" of Wales!
Let us look at the fixture that Mr McGrath "selects" for comment Wasps 10,000: This was a Heineken Cup game coming on the back of an excellent win at the Wasps ground. The "feel-good factor" would have a positive affect on the game as would a large contingent of "away" supporters.
Perpignon, attended by 7,000: A "big game" against the previous season's Heineken Cup finalists. No particular boost from the away team. A good crowd!!
Munster, attended by 5,000: A game at Sardis Road! The last competitive game at Sardis Road for the great Neil Jenkins. Surely a factor that would put a few thousand on the attendance on its own.
Cardiff, attended by 5,000: Only 5,000 for a game between Bridgend/ Ponty and C*****f., don't make me laugh! Ponty would have filled Sardis Road on a Wednesday night in December. Here we have Jenks' last ever competitive game in Ponty. Also there was the small matter of Gareth Thomas and the fact that it was his last game for the region. If you also count the number of Cardiff fans at the ground you would see that the Warrior support at that game was poor. So why did the Warriors fail if all the fans were of the same ilk as Kevin McGrath? Well, simply they were not!
For every supporter who saw every game at both Sardis Road and the Brewery Field, who made 300-mile round trips to the likes of London Welsh, who spent "thousands" on merchandising and travel, there were more who did not see every game (or saw none at all!)
Far more did not make the 20 or so mile round trip to the Brewery Field from the Valleys. Far more did not spend anything on merchandising and travel. Also, I am of the opinion that Samuels, for all his comment now, wanted shot of the region. He stated that he wanted to safeguard the region. Why then did he sell it to the WRU when he knew that they only wanted four regions?
Why did he not put a clause in the sales contract to ensure that the region was allowed to continue for a minimum period of time or ownership would revert back?
I am saddened for the genuine fans of the Warriors who feel let down.
But they must look within the region for the root causes of the failure and not at C*****f or the rest of the regions.

Wow, decided to have a nostalgia trip and look at the old website I used to go to. I was an author in Authortastic 2.0 near the end of it's run, I was Ochans brother. Didn't think after all this time up guys still would be doing this. Shard still seems to be amazing at spriting. Hope you guys are enjoying it.
is this comic still taking author if so can i be one?

Inmaculada Cabeceran i Soler (Barcelona, 24 de febrero de 1952 - Gerona, 11 de enero de 2018) fue una futbolista catalana y una de las pioneras del fútbol femenino en Cataluña.

Muy aficionada del fútbol y seguidora del Fútbol Club Barcelona, con dieciocho años se reunió con el entonces presidente azulgrana, Agustí Montal, para pedirle jugar un partido de fútbol femenino en el estadio Camp Nou. Con su visto bueno, hacia finales de 1970 publicó un anuncio en la Revista Barcelonista buscando chicas para jugar a fútbol. La convocatoria tuvo éxito y se presentaron muchas jugadoras que formarían parte del primer equipo femenino del FC Barcelona de la historia, en el cual destacan Nuria Llansà, Carme Nieto, Lolita Ortiz, Vicenta Pubill, Nuria Gómez, Maria Pilar Gazulla, Lluïsa Vilaseca, Aurora Arnau, Anna Jaques, Fina Ros o Glòria Comas, entre otros. El primer partido de fútbol de un equipo femenino del FC Barcelona se jugó el día de Navidad de 1970, con motivo de un festival benéfico, contra la UE Centelles. El equipo, entrenado por Antoni Ramallets, no tenía, sin embargo, el reconocimiento oficial del club. Llevaban camiseta blanca, pantalones azules y medias azulgranas y se denominó Selección Ciudad de Barcelona. Poco después, el equipo sería admitido al club con el nombre de Peña Femenina Barcelona.

I don't know what this makes of me, but I skipped the Suicide Squad Rebirth issue this week. I've never been particularly interested in the comic. And I only kinda sorta liked the movie. So nuts to that whole mess!
Fortunately, the nuts and bolts of Suicide Squad are still good! Harley Quinn debuts her new Rebirth series this week, and its as phenomenal! I'm so glad that Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and their artistic teams are still around! Best possible choice by DC there.
Though I still want to see an entire issue drawn by Conner. It would be magical! Does anybody know if she's said publicly why she isn't drawing much of the comic? She's one of my favorite artists in the biz and this book is almost tailor-made for her.

Once we complete our study activities, we move on to the next phase crucial to a successful project: a comprehensively researched and documented design. With our years of experience and in-house industry experts, we craft a rock-solid project design that you can depend on for years to come because we know that the best ideas are useless unless they stand up to the test of time.
During the planning phase specific testing of designed components is conducted by our technical teams insuring project capabilities are architecturally consistent with developed design specifications. Planning and design cases directly link to our clients requirements insuring features are being delivered and that black box testing techniques are incorporated. At this stage, our best-in-the-business experience testers assess cases and test each of our prototypes, documenting expected versus actual results throughout before implementation. During the planning phase training is also conducted which is a critical component of all projects. It teaches our customers the skills and techniques required to manage the new application so long-term project maintenance can be managed by their internal teams. On each of our projects, we develop at least two types of training curriculums. The first is for System Administrators/Technical Administrators and the second is for end users.
Once complete, we move on to the next phase: Implement. Implementation includes both a detailed implementation plan as well as user acceptance testing, which allows end populations — in other words, the users the project will impact the most —early access to the "almost final" product. This input helps put the finishing touches on the final product making it as user friendly as possible. Once the project has been signed off on, the changes are promoted into the production environment, tested by technical and business users, and then rolled out into production. Post production implementation, an additional benifits methodology phase may be utilized to clearly understand the benefits realized by the solution Delivery Centric provided.
