Xxentria on Forbes Magazine
XXENTRIA TECHNOLOGY – Spirit of InnovationAfter 25 years in business, Xxentria knows how to weather life's occasional storms and has gained a hard-earned reputation for its reliability and practical approach to unforeseen challenges. From the very outset, it has taken on full responsibility for every aspect of its operations, from research and development to both production and finance. At the same time, it has never lost its sense of adventure or its spirit of innovation, and is constantly looking for new opportunities. This combination of courage and consistency, along with its streamlined communication system that means it can react quickly to any problems, has helped Xxentria to build long-term relationships with its customers and to develop new products based on their needs. Because we work very closely with our customers and can react quickly, we deliver great customer service as well as strong R&D support," says CEO Howard Cheng. "We are a very reliable partner that not only provides great products but also total solutions."Not content with the status quo, Xxentria is always looking to improve its range of products and to increase their environmental sustainability. The development of its G-BOND galvanized steel composite materials for semitrailer body is a case in point. Already valued by its customers for its lightweight and impact resistance, this has recently been supplemented by the development of the A-BOND high tensile aluminum composite materials, which offer a 50% reduction in weight compared with the conventional trailer body, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Beyond the product itself, Xxentria has utilized recycled plastics to reduce costs and more importantly, to contribute to environmental protection, in line with its motto "Low Waste. High Efficiency." "With streamlined production from raw materials to finished products," the CEO says, "we know how to turn these materials into useful products for our customers and minimize the impact on the environment." In response to advances in technology, Xxentria has also broken away from the traditional manufacturing industry concept and its focus is no longer only on equipment optimization. Today, it has implemented several large-scale robots and has widely utilized various types of sensor system, which will help it collect data and build databases so that the company can establish its own manufacturing execution system (MES) and supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA). Nor is the team's focus confined to the field of engineering; it has now begun to combine marketing and financial analysis with loop computing to achieve the most efficient and accurate equipment development and process optimization. Today, Xxentria has achieved 60% market share in the U.S. while G-BOND sales are increasing in both Europe and China. The company is looking forward to more people using such energy-saving products to protect the environment. In 2016, the Chinese government issued new vehicle regulations to create a safer and more efficient transportation environment, which could require as many as 1.5 million semitrailer trucks to be replaced. Xxentria is committed to supporting this booming market to implement the new regulations in the most appropriate way, and to work with Shenzhen-based China International Marine Containers and other major trailer suppliers to open up the Chinese market. In addition to materials for semitrailer bodies, Xxentria has established a multifunctional physical vapor deposition (PVD) production line through a joint venture with Alanod , a global leader in high reflective surface-finished aluminum. Xxentria believes that through this innovative technology, it can develop more energy-efficient products that can be used in the solar, lighting, and architecture industries not only to save but also to create energy. With its solid business foundation and continual spirit of innovation, Xxentria expects continuous improvement and will remain a reliable partner to both its customers and investors. Xxentria also takes care of its employees while ensuring the interests of shareholders, and continues to protect the earth's environment.For original press, please click here

NASA Tests $23M Titanium Toilet
The toilet is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon.
Oct 2nd, 2020
Marcia Dunn
In this June 18, 2020 photo provided by NASA, astronaut Kate Rubins, center, and support personnel review the Universal Waste Management System, a low-gravity space toilet, in Houston. The new device is scheduled to be delivered to the International Space Station on Oct. 1, 2020.
Norah Moran/NASA via AP
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA's first new space potty in decades — a $23 million titanium toilet better suited for women — is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon (view images in gallery).
It's packed inside a cargo ship that should have blasted off late Thursday from Wallops Island, Virginia. But the launch was aborted with just two minutes remaining in the countdown. Northrop Grumman said it would try again Friday night if engineers can figure out what went wrong.
Barely 100 pounds (45 kilograms) and just 28 inches (71 centimeters) tall, the new toilet is roughly half as big as the two Russian-built ones at the space station. It's more camper-size to fit into the NASA Orion capsules that will carry astronauts to the moon in a few years.
Station residents will test it out for a few months. If the shakedown goes well, the toilet will be open for regular business.
With SpaceX now launching astronauts to the space station and Boeing less than a year from sending up its first crew, more toilets are needed. The new one will be in its own stall alongside the old one on the U.S. side of the outpost.
The old toilets cater more toward men. To better accommodate women, NASA tilted the seat on the new toilet and made it taller. The new shape should help astronauts position themselves better for No. 2, said Johnson Space Center's Melissa McKinley, the project manager.
"Cleaning up a mess is a big deal. We don't want any misses or escapes," she said.
Let's just say everything floats in weightlessness.
As for No. 1, the funnels also have been redesigned. Women can use the elongated and scooped-out funnels to urinate while sitting on the commode to poop at the same time, McKinley said. Until now, it's been one or the other for female astronauts, she noted.
Like earlier space commodes, air suction, rather than water and gravity, removes the waste. Urine collected by the new toilet will be routed into NASA's long-standing recycling system to produce water for drinking and cooking. Titanium and other tough alloys were chosen for the new toilet to withstand all the acid in the urine pretreatment.
Going to the bathroom in space may sound simple, but "sometimes the simple things become very difficult" without gravity, said NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, commander of the second SpaceX crew, due to launch Oct. 31 from Kennedy Space Center.
While the old design isn't that hard to use, subtle design changes can make all the difference for women, noted NASA astronaut Shannon Walker, a former space station resident who's also on the next SpaceX crew.
"Trust me, I've got going to the bathroom in space down, because that is a vital, vital thing to know how to do," she told The Associated Press earlier this week.
The typical space station population will go from six to seven with the next SpaceX flight, and even more when non-professionals like tourists start showing up as early as next year. Astronauts normally stay six months.
The last time NASA ordered up a new toilet was in the early 1990s to accommodate two-week space shuttle missions. The agency contracted with Collins Aerospace to provide the latest model; the company also worked on the shuttle potties.
Also in the 8,000-pound (3,600-kilogram) shipment aboard Northrop Grumman's Cygnus capsule: air tanks to make up for a slight space station leak, radish seeds for greenhouse growing and a cinematic 360-degree VR camera for you-are-there-spacewalk shots.
Perhaps the most unique payload: Estee Lauder's newest wrinkle serum. The cosmetics company is paying $128,000 for an out-of-this-world photo shoot, part of NASA's push to open the final frontier to marketing, industry and tourism.
Don't count on perfumed aromas, though, to counter bathroom odors.
The serum is fragrance-free and the 10 bottles will remain sealed until returned to Earth early next year.

We haven't seen any figures for Collier Country, but it's probably safe to say that home swimming pools are pretty popular here as well. The big question, however, is if it's right for you and your Naples home. What are some of the pros and cons of putting in a swimming pool if you don't already have one?
First, let's take a look at some of the benefits of having your own pool.
Convenience: There are a lot of great beaches in the Naples area (LINK TO The Best Beaches in Naples above) but you may not want to drive every time you want to take a dip. Maybe you just want to take a 5-minute swim to cool off before dinner. You're probably not going to get in the car and drive 30 minutes to the beach to do that. It's really convenient to slip on your suit and take a dip in the backyard.
Privacy: A lot of people prefer the privacy of their own home for swimming. You don't have to worry about what you're wearing or how you look. On top of that, it's often more relaxing to swim in quiet solitude.
A Natural Place to Gather: For many homeowners in the Naples area, the pool is a great place to gather and entertain. It's a natural draw and a great way to get to know potential friends. There is something very inviting about having dinner, or drinks around the pool. And it's a good place for conversation without interruptions. Some homeowners make the pool area the focal point of outdoor living at the back of their home. Here's an article that looks at ideas for creating a fantastic pool house to complement your pool.
In order to make a good decision about whether or not a pool is right for you, it's smart to balance the fun side of pool ownership with the responsibilities. So let's take a quick look at some of those things.
Cost: Putting in a pool isn't inexpensive. There is excavation to be done. You'll require plumbing and drainage as well as electrical work. All of that adds up to a fair amount of material and labor. Naturally, the exact cost of installing a pool will vary dramatically depending on the size and complexity of the pool design. But to give you a starting point, the typical cost for an in-ground pool (according to improvenet.com) can range from $37,000 to $46,000.
Maintenance: Pools require regular maintenance. You'll want to check and clean filters regularly. You'll also need to keep the water clear and clean with regular chemical treatments. You can do this yourself or hire someone to do it, but it's not something you can afford to ignore.
Liability: Part of your responsibility in owning a pool is to ensure that it is safe—not only for you but for those around you. In addition to making sure your pool is secure (by means of a fence or other enclosure), you may have increased insurance premiums.
None of these things necessarily mean you shouldn't have a pool, but they are issues you should take into consideration before making your decision.
A lot of home remodeling research appears to indicate that installing a pool has a pretty low return on investment. There are statistics to back that up. But before you take that at face value, you need to consider whether those figures are for Florida homes or if they are national figures. According to investopedia.com adding a pool in a "Sun Belt"-area home (like Naples) you can expect up to an 11 percent return on your investment.
The decision to put in a pool or not isn't just a financial one. What you really want to consider is if doing so will make you happier, healthier, or more comfortable. Pools are great for exercise and entertainment—if you really use them that way. So be realistic about how you'll actually use your pool—and how often. If you won't get a lot of personal benefit or enjoyment from it, you may be better off spending your money on other improvements. On the other hand, if you plan to use it a lot for your own health and social enjoyment, there's nothing quite like it—especially in this part of the country.

The Eiffel Tower isn't just a symbol of Paris but a symbol for all of France. Erected by Gustave Eiffel to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution in 1889, the 1,050-foot (320-meter) tower once held the title of the world's tallest structure. Despite having been dwarfed by Dubai's Burj Khalifa and The Shard in London, the Eiffel Tower remains one of the most recognizable landmarks on the planet. View the architectural icon from afar, or stop in at the three observation levels for stellar city views.

Second only to the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral (Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris) is one of Paris' most iconic attractions, a marvel of medieval architecture that was immortalized in Victor Hugo's classic novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Today, the Gothic grandeur and stained-glass windows of the UNESCO World Heritage site continue to reign supreme from Ile de la Cite, an island in the middle of the Seine River.
(UPDATE: Notre Dame Cathedral is currently off-limits due to fire damage.)

The lifeblood of Paris, the River Seine acts as a dividing line between Paris' historically sophisticated and bohemian halves; it provides transportation via riverboat and plenty of opportunity for romantic strolls; and its riverbanks are a UNESCO World Heritage Site lined with the city's top landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Musée d'Orsay, Jardin des Tuileries, and the Louvre.

Rivaling the Louvre as Paris' favorite art museum, the Orsay Museum (Musée d'Orsay) is known for its impressionist, post-impressionist, and art nouveau works from 1848 to 1914. Equally impressive as what's inside the museum is its exterior: a former Beaux-Arts railway station with an enviable location on the banks of the Seine River. Both architecture and art buffs will want this museum on their Parisian itineraries.

Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles takes the award for the most visited château in France, and the magnificent Versailles Gardens (Jardins de Versailles) are world renowned. A series of beautifully landscaped gardens, show-stopping fountains, and tree-lined pathways covering 800 hectares (1,976 acres), the gardens center on the cross-shaped Grand Canal.
Impossible to miss in the heart of Palma's Old Town, Plaza Mayor is the Mallorcan capital's largest square and a lively meeting place at any time of day. Constructed in the 19th century on a storied piece of land, today the sprawling rectangular plaza serves as a shopping and dining hotspot for locals and visitors alike.
Conciergerie Tours & Tickets
Expect bright lights, extravagant costumes, and raucous music at the world-famous Moulin Rouge. Opened in the Belle Epoque of 1889 to celebrate Paris' thriving creative scene and the end of the civil war, the windmill-cum-cabaret hall has never stopped basking in fun and frivolity. As a staple of Parisian nightlife, an unforgettable evening at the Moulin Rouge is a must on any traveler's France itinerary.
The Grand Palais is one of Paris' most beautiful and recognizable structures. Debuted in 1900 in time for the World's Fair, the architectural marvel is famed for its colossal nave, Beaux-Arts architecture, and immense glass roof. Today, the Grand Palais houses several gallery areas and also hosts tournaments, Chanel fashion shows, and other major events.

Paris' Latin Quarter is a popular, historical area of the Left Bank. Home to the main Sorbonne campus, this dynamic, student-filled neighborhood was once frequented by Ernest Hemingway, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and other revolutionaries. Today it's distinguished for its buzzing cafés, lively restaurants, and must-see landmarks.

Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces)
The opulence of the Palace of Versailles reaches its peak in the Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces)—a 240-foot-long (73-meter-long) ballroom with 357 mirrors adorning 17 huge arches on one side and 17 arcaded windows overlooking the formal gardens on the other. It was also the location of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I.
Grand Trianon
Built in 1687 by famed architect Mansart, the serene, pink-colonnaded Grand Trianon, was created for Louis XIV as a tranquil getaway from the pressures of court life. While the Grand Trianon is open to the public, it is also an official residence of the French President.
Crowned by the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, historic Montmartre in Paris' 18th arrondissement is famed for its cobblestone streets, artsy past and present, and central hill. Visitors flock here to imagine what life was like during the Belle Epoque—when artists such as Dalí, Renoir, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Picasso lived and worked in Montmartre—as well as get their portrait sketched in Place du Tertre.
One of many bridges that cross the Seine, Pont Alexandre III was officially unveiled in 1900. Widely considered the city's most beautiful and opulent bridge, it connects the Champs-Élysées and Grand Palais on the Right Bank with Invalides on the Left, making it a popular thoroughfare for tour groups and amblers.
Situated on the right bank of the Seine River and flanked by the idyllic Tuileries Garden and the grand boulevard of Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris. The infamous guillotines of the French Revolution were located here, but today the square is best known for striking monuments, elegant hotels, and elaborate fountains.
The Arc de Triomphe looks down upon the grand tree-lined boulevard that is Avenue des Champs-Élysées: one of Paris' most memorable sights and one of the world's most famous avenues. It's not just the striking architecture that captivates visitors—the shopping street is lined with designer boutiques, luxury hotels, and fine restaurants.
An instantly recognizable symbol of Paris, the colossal Arc de Triomphe stands at the epicenter of Place Charles de Gaulle, where 12 of the city's busiest avenues converge. The Napoleon-commissioned monument, adorned with high-relief sculptures depicting sword-wielding soldiers and inscribed with the names of generals and battles, celebrates French military victories and remembers all those who have fought on behalf of France. The top of the arch, accessible via 284 steps, affords superb views over all of Paris.
Home to the Opera de Paris, ballet performances, and the fictional Phantom of the Opera, the grand 19th-century Palais Garnier—also known as Opera Garnier—recalls the splendor of France's Second Empire, an era synonymous with elegance and extravagance. Beyond its opulent exterior and foyer, the 2,000-seat auditorium is a riot of red velvet, gold, and bronze, with a massive chandelier and a colorful ceiling painting by modernist master Marc Chagall.
Though it translates to "New Bridge" in French, the Pont Neuf is in fact the oldest bridge in Paris, built in 1607 to connect the banks of the river Seine to Ile de la Cite. Known in the 18th and 19th centuries for its unsavory street vendors and pickpockets, Pont Neuf is now a tranquil pedestrian bridge and meeting place for visitors and locals alike.
With its maze of cobbled lanes and medieval buildings sprawling along the banks of the Seine River, the historic district of Le Marais is one of Paris' most atmospheric, with a lively Jewish Quarter, a great selection of museums and art galleries, and a thriving LGBTQ community.
Basilique du Sacré-Coeur
With its gigantic dome and snow-white facade gazing down over the city from the Butte de Montmartre (Montmartre Hill), the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur—or Basilica of the Sacred Heart—is one of Paris' most magnificent monuments.
Formerly a humble hunting lodge, the Palace of Versailles (Chateau de Versailles) is the extravagant creation of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. Embellished to epitomize royal decadence, Versailles features 700 rooms replete with frescoed ceilings and carvings, plus the Versailles Gardens (Jardins de Versailles), which brim with geometrically designed walkways and fountains. No visit to France is complete without experiencing the grandeur.
Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries)
Designed by landscape architect André Le Nôtre—whose other creations include the Palace of Versailles gardens—in the mid-17th century, the UNESCO-listed Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries) is Paris' most visited public park, with a spectacular setting between Champs-Elysées Avenue and the Louvre, on the banks of the Seine River.
The Pont des Arts—also known as the Passerelle des Arts—is one of central Paris' most romantic bridges. Famed for the "love locks" that couples once clipped to its railings, the bridge has shed some weight in recent years, but not its amorous associations. These days, the pedestrian-friendly bridge is perfect for sightseeing or picnicking.

I'd say that a good 97% of my wardrobe is made up of thrifted clothes. The other 3% is a mix of two stores, whose aesthetic I love: Anthropologie (I just recently came into some pieces from their sale rack this past Christmas, thanks to my wonderful in-laws!) and H&M.
The love the latter because they have certain collections reminiscent of Anthro's style, but at a much more affordable price. So I was thrilled when I read last week that they've developed a new line of clothing made from organic cotton, Tencel and recycled polyester, and nothing in it costs more than $60.
It's called the Conscious Collection, and I think it's absolutely stunning, which is saying a lot because there's not much color in it (and we know how I love bright, bold colors!). Instead, its palette is various shades of white, but the romantic cuts and lace trims definitely scream "spring" and "summer."
I only pulled images of the dresses, since that's what I usually live in during the warm weather seasons, but you can go here to see photos of the entire collection, which includes tops, skirts, shorts and pants, and clothes for men and children. Everything will be available in stores on April 14.
I love the second, fifth and seventh ones. Which is your favorite?
I love the fourth and the seventh. They look like vintage slips or nightgowns.

This article presents the mixed convection boundary layer flow over a circular cylinder placed in a viscoelastic micropolar fluid with surface heat flux. The goveming boundary layer equations are transformed into non-dimensional form by using appropriate dimensionless variables Then, the resulting equattons are transformed into similarity equations and solved using an implicit finite difference scheme known as the Keller box method. For validation purpose, the current results are compared to previous study. With congruent results from both study. authors are convinced that the proposed model is reliable.

Q: Why Don't I have 'this' context inside of a .then() in my Ember component I'm fairly new to Ember.
This is the code for my component:
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  profiles: Ember.inject.service(),
  tagName: 'td',
  classNames: ['grey'],
  classNameBindings: ['unreadMessages'],
  unreadMessages: null,

onInit: function() {
    const id = this.get('conversation.id');
    return this.get('profiles').getMessages(id)
      .then(function(bool) {
        this.set('unreadMessage', bool);
      });
  }.on('init')
});

This throws:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'set' of undefined

So I can gather that I don't have the this context that I need to call this.set inside of the .then()
I need to assign the result of return this.get('profiles').getMessages(id) to the unreadMessages property in my component. So that I can use it for the classNameBinding.
Here is the method I'm calling from the service
  getMessages(id){
    return this.get('ajax').request('/messages?id=' + id)
    .then((obj) => {
      const unreadMessages = obj.messages.filter((e) => e.read === false);

      if (unreadMessages === []) {
         return false;
      } else {
         return true;
      }
    });
  }

I've only been able to access the boolean value that getMessages returns inside of its .then() and I am not able to call this.set() inside of the .then()  I'm looking for a work around. I think I'm close and am struggling to due to my lack of experience with Ember.
getMessages makes a 'GET' request to my back end and filters through the messages to check if there are any that are unread and then returns true or false. The purpose of the classNameBinding is to notify the user of whether they have any unread messages for that thread. This is a very simple email style messaging app that I am building for practice.
Thanks!

A: Change
onInit: function() {
    const id = this.get('conversation.id');
    return this.get('profiles').getMessages(id)
      .then(function(bool) {
        this.set('unreadMessage', bool);
      });
  }.on('init')
});

to
onInit: function() {
    const id = this.get('conversation.id');
    return this.get('profiles').getMessages(id)
      .then((bool) => {
        this.set('unreadMessage', bool);
      });
  }.on('init')
});

The thing here is, the scope changes when you write function(){} inside then and this won't refer to the component this.
That's why in ES6 the concept of lexical this was introduced. This will retain the this. So use Arrow function instead and it'll work smoothly..

Spa reopening strategies from Europe
Digital operations, dedicated in-room treatments and staff training are just some of the measures European spas are taking as they begin to reopen their services.
These are just some of the areas that will be discussed as part of PB World's upcoming online World Spa & Wellness Convention, on September 8-10.
Erica D'Angelo, Spa Director of Vair Spa in Italy, will be speaking about her reopening strategy in the 'Spa strategies from across the border: Best practice from Europe' panel, on Thursday September 10 at 1pm.
D'Angelo will also be joined by Becky Woodhouse, CEO of Pure Day Spa Group in the UK and Tara Moore, spa manager at The Spa at Galgorm in Northern Ireland, who will discuss how operations are changing in their businesses.
"I didn't expect such a high demand from the very first day," says D'Angelo. "I have been very surprised to see that although there are less guests, the returning rate to the spa services during the stay has increased dramatically.
"Teamwork and motivation of the entire staff has lead to the success we are having after only two months of re-opening," she adds. "Today, our average daily revenue is aligned with last year's performance, proportioned to the areas available and staffing."
"As lockdown terminated on May 12, we were ready for operations and delivered the first treatments on May 25, the first day of Borgo Egnazia's reopening. Our menu had a big impact, especially in the first months, as the demand did not economically justify the opening of the entire spa," explains D'Angelo.
"We therefore opted for a dedicated in-room service menu (10% of our services), where treatments for singles and couples could be delivered in the amazing setting of our villas, by the pool or in the gardens, maintaining the privacy needed for our guests."
Additionally, digital operations were incorporated to streamline services. "We have committed to the opportunity of enhancing our guest's experiences by adding the technology part. In fact our signature Happiness Break program now includes a set of one-to-one sessions prior to arrival in order for our guest's to arrive prepared and obtain the most of their stay with us, " she says.
"They have the chance to speak to our food technologist for nutritional preparation guidelines, with our personal trainer to start alligning the type of training to a happiness based approach and some workshops to start preparing about defining a life purpose and understanding the science of happiness."
