2017 Season FCS College Football Picks: Ohio Valley Conference
CSJ's Predicted Order of finish:
1. Jacksonville State
2. UT Martin
3. Tennessee State
4. Eastern Illinois
5. Murray State
6. Tennessee Tech
7. Eastern Kentucky
8. SEMO
9. Austin Peay
Fearless Prediction: Normally you'd expect some regression when you see that a football team loses their record-holding QB that is now in camp with the Los Angeles Chargers. But this is Jacksonville State, where OVC titles are fully expected and the Gamecocks are asked to simply reload. The out-of-conference schedule is brutal – involving two schools above the FCS limit on football scholarships, Liberty and Georgia Tech – but they will be ready for league play, and will be the favorites to capture their fourth consecutive OVC title.
Impact player:The Gamecocks have so much talent on defense it's almost unfair, but the class of the unit has to be DE Darius Jackson, who already has 20 1/2 sacks in a Jacksonville State uniform and should be stalking a lot of quarterbacks yet again this season. The entire defensive unit might be the best in all of the FCS, but it's Jackson that keeps opposing offensive coordinators up at night.
Fearless Prediction: If there's one team that could possibly knock off heavily-favored Jacksonville State, its UT Martin, who boasts the top OVC pre-season quarterback and a big, experienced offensive line that gives him lots of protection. Last year the Skyhawks had only two conference losses to Jacksonville State and Tennessee State – both on the road. This year, they get these tough opponents at home at Hardy M. Graham Stadium.
Impact Player: A former transfer from Florida State, QB Troy Cook had a great year for the Skyhawks last year, notching 2,321 yards passing and scoring 22 touchdowns. If he can expand on last season's success and cut down on his interceptions this year (last year he had 12), the Skyhawks could very well challenge Jacksonville State.
Fearless Prediction: The Tigers might – just might – have the combination to dethrone Jacksonville State – eight returning players on defense, the preseason OVC offensive player of the year, and a high-profile transfer from the University of Florida at quarterback. Will it be enough, though, to beat both UT Martin and Jacksonville State, both on the road?
Impact Player: WR Patrick Smith is the closest thing to automatic in the OVC when it comes to scoring – the Nashville native had 61 receptions, 966 yards and scored a touchdown in nine of the eleven games he played. It seems fair to expect that he'll make new quarterback Treon Harris effective right from the start – and from there, together, how high can they lift the Tiger offense?
Fearless Prediction: It's hard to think of a more frustrating, up-and-down team as last year's Panther squad, who boasted some terrific quality wins over Illinois State and FBS Miami of Ohio paired with some head-scratching losses to Murray State and SEMO. If they pull it all together behind a veteran quarterback and a lot of returning starters, they certainly could challenge for the title and a possible FBS playoff spot. If they don't they could lose to anybody.
Impact Player:Sure-handed TE Addison Bounds was a useful outlet last season for quarterback Mitch Kimble, accumulating 20 catches for 188 yards and 3 touchdowns. If the two players can get on the same page more often, it could mean a resurgence in the Panther offense.
Fearless Prediction: The Racers had a flash of brilliance in 2016 when they knocked off in consecutive weeks two conference rivals that were in the FCS Top 25 – Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State. Unfortunately for Murray State fans, that stretch was dampened by two decisive losses at the end of last year to Jacksonville State and Tennessee Tech that dropped them to a 4-7 mark. Head coach Mitch Stewart's team returns 18 starters from last season, but every week consistency will be the key to their success in 2017.
Impact Player: WR Jordon Gandy had a breakout season for Murray State in 2016, pulling down 62 catches for 976 yards and 11 touchdowns, including a mammoth 218 yard outburst at Eastern Kentucky. He's the guy that the eventual Murray State starting quarterback will lean on for early offense for sure.
Fearless Prediction: The Golden Eagles surprised some people last season with their 5-6 record, especially when Marcus Satterfield's team knocked off Tennessee State and Murray State to close out the season in consecutive weeks. It won't be easy, though, with a brutal early stretch that includes Western Illinois at home at FBS Ball State and Big South contender Kennesaw State on the road. Still, Satterfield has this team pointed in the right direction.
Impact player: It's an amazing story: RB Yeedee Thaenrat, from Philadelphia, PA worked out with Temple last season but couldn't attend because they didn't have any more scholarships. Literally two days before Tennessee Tech opened for fall practic, he was invited to walk on with the chance to earn a scholarship. And boy, did he ever: he was a shoo-in for the OVC's all-newcomer team, with 707 yards rushing, 176 yards receiving and 6 touchdowns. He'll be the star running back around which Tennessee Tech will build.
Fearless Prediction: By Eastern Kentucky standards, where over .500 is expected every season and title runs are the norm, last year's 3-8 record was a disaster. But Mark Elder's rebuilding job is further along this year than last, with the second of two extremely strong recruiting classes in place this fall. The Colonels will certainly be back soon – the question is whether it will be this year or next.
Impact Player: DE Aaron Patrick is one of those young players that Elder is building around. Entering his junior season, last year the Dayton, Ohio native had 53 tackles including 10 tackles for loss. With more defensive players expecting to improve around him this season, expect Patrick's numbers to improve even further.
Fearless Prediction: Southeast Missouri State is not a football program noted for its consistent winning ways, and last year's 3-8 season bore that out. But they were probably better than their 3-8 record indicated, with surprisingly close losses to Tennessee State, Jacksonville State and UT Martin. This season there's surprising optimism as their starting quarterback returns and there's continuity on offense. Could it result in a possible OVC title run?
Impact Player:The fate of the Redhawks will rise and fall with the performance of QB Jesse Hosket. When the Redhawks were at their best last year – like when they upset Eastern Illinois when they were in the FCS Top 25 – Hosket managed the game well, made some big passing plays, and was accurate throwing the ball. But the French Camp, Mississippi native struggled with consistency and accuracy at times, though he still averaged 202 passing yards per game and scored 14 touchdowns for the Redhawks. Can Hosket play with more consistency, and string together some wins in OVC play to make SEMO a contender?
Fearless Prediction: On the Governors' website, Austin Peay's football schedule has potential NCAA FCS Playoff games as a part of the Governors' schedule, a pretty bold move for a team with back-to-back winless seasons and one singular win in their last three years. Perhaps that might be a tough goal to reach – a couple of wins in OVC play, and a step closer to .500, might be a bit more realistic.
Impact player: DB Malik Boynton is one of the best defenders in Austin Peay's defense, but a mid-season injury sidelined him halfway through the year. A former wideout, the Detroit, Michigan native proved himself up to the challenge of covering the best receivers in the OVC. The Govs will be hoping he remains healthy all season.

The Czech Republic is best experienced at a leisurely pace, and taking a road trip is a great way to do it. A previous article discussed the basics of driving in this country, and the next step is to create an itinerary. With all the attractions, however, it can be daunting to choose where to go. To help you out, here's a one-week road trip itinerary that will guide you to the best of what the Czech Republic has to offer.
The usual starting point is the capital, Prague, which is full of stunning architecture. It's home to Charles Bridge, a 13th-century stone bridge that goes over the River Vltava, and the Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) which has old Gothic buildings. The National Museum is another good stop, and you can go to Nota Bene afterwards, which is just behind it. You can also buy good street food here.
After exploring Prague, you can drive to the town of Tábor. It's quiet exterior conceals the dramatic history of the Hussite movement. You can try putting on a chain mail and sitting on a throne to feed your medieval fantasies. Tábor's underground tunnels are another popular attraction.
Take Highway 3 and make a quick pit stop at the Hluboká Castle, former home of one of Bohemia's most powerful families, the Schwarzenbergs. It's considered by many as one of Czech Republic's most magnificent structures, as the Gothic-baronial design is breathtaking.
Afterwards, proceed to Šumava National Park by traversing Highway 145. You'll be treated to stunning views of the spruce-laden countryside. It's not called the "Green Roof of Europe" for nothing. A few hours of trekking will bring you to the Černá mountain, the source of Vltava's waters. The Šumava region is also home to Kvilda village where you can spend the night.
Take Highways 4 and 39 towards Český Krumlov, a quaint town that has a pastoral yet Gothic and Baroque feel. Don't miss a visit to the Český Krumlov Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has a well-preserved Baroque theatre, which was constructed in 1682.
Next, you can go to Kemp Branná by taking Highway 160. The camp has rustic but comfortable teepees. You also have a front-seat ticket to Europe's clear night sky while enjoying food and drinks by the bonfire. You'll soon be leaving the Bohemian countryside, so get the most out of it.
About an hour's drive from the camp is České Budějovice, South Bohemia's capital. It's home to one of the oldest breweries in the world, which boasts a 1000-year history of beer and merriment. Points of interest include the Museum of South Bohemia; Masné Krámy restaurant; and the Dominican monastery, the city's most valuable historic building which has been in existence since the 13th century.
A few hours from České Budějovice is Telč, a town in Southern Moravia. Its town square is a definitive example of Moravian architecture. An Italian Renaissance castle surrounded by burgher houses and arcades sits at Telč's centre. You can stay in one of the town's hotels or carry on and drive to Brno.
The vast vineyards of the Moravian region flank the road to Brno, Czech Republic's second largest city. The city's attractions include the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in Petrov hill; the Abbey of Saint Thomas where Gregor Mendel discovered the science of genetics; and The Labyrinth under Vegetable Market.
A road trip through the Czech Republic is now easier than ever because various tools such as GPS and social media are now at your disposal. In another post, we tackled how to use Instagram in planning your trip and looking for places worth checking out. In addition, drivers can also use other advanced tech such as route optimisation software. Verizon Connect explain how route optimisation software allows drivers to plan and manage routes through smart devices. Today's drivers have a multitude of options to help them get to their destination as efficiently as possible. This is even more important when you're in a foreign language country, as the GPS route planner will eliminate any language barriers that you may have to contend with trying to read road signs. With technology so accessible nowadays, using it to get the most out of your travels should be a no-brainer – even more so when you're visiting a beautiful country like the Czech Republic.

Background: Worldwide, lung cancer is the major cause of deaths due to cancer. Most of the lung cancer cases are categorized as 85% cases of non-small cell lung cancer, while remainder 15% cases are known as small cell lung cancer. The long survival time as well as the improved quality of life for patients undergoing lung cancer using conventional chemotherapy is still not satisfactory. Therefore, robust research undergoes development of drug delivery system which increased drug at target side with reduced systemic side effect.
Method: Bibliography database reviewed various inhalable nanostructured drug delivery strategies for effective delivery of anticancer drugs to lung cancer which are designed to improve the therapeutic index of anticancer drugs throughout improvement of their stability as well as bioavailability.
Results: It has been reported that nanostructure based inhalation chemotherapy is more successful targeting system and also offers reduced side effects than conventional chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Thus, the review highlights the critical issues, strategies for delivery and provides detail on various inhalable nanostructures for anticancer drug delivery along with toxicity concerns as well as rationale behind development of inhalable nanostructures.
Anticancer drugs, bioavailability, inhalable nanostructures, lung cancer, non-small lung cancer, small cell lung cancer.

We Don't Want To Be A Trend
For the longest people of colour, people considered as ethnic minorities black people have been thee designers party trick. Which has been displayed in high fashion runway shows, editorial and campaigns. Up until 2015 there has a been a lack of consideration and attention shown to the under representation of black models, designers, creatives in the fashion industry.
In 2015, Miss Naomi Campbell, Iman and Bethan Anderson took a loud and public stance to call for diversity, and hold fashion designers and there institutional and conscious bias/racism.
Everyone is using [black] culture as inspiration, 'but I now want to see whether it's going last or whether they'll move onto something else.' – Naomi Campbell
I do believe this is one of many steps as a tiny part of the creative industry and as a collective need to do to raise awareness to bring forward change. Since Miss Campbell and her two influential colleagues made a stance the statistics in black models being represented and use fairly/more in high fashion has improved.
I am hopeful that with more people of colour who are influential in the creative arts as a whole speaking up in a professional, articulate and elegant way fashion as a industry will begin to look like what its suppose to represent. Diversity, Uniqueness and Beauty, that covers all races all sizes all orientations.
'Designers get really big and really rich off of [black] culture, and then you don't see a motherf*cker that looks anything like us in the front row half the time,' – Nicki Minaj.

Aminbazar waste-to-energy plant to be a gamechanger: LGRD minister
The proposed Aminbazar waste-to-electricity plant will require 3,000 tonnes of garbage a day. If a power plant collects so much garbage, there'll be no more waste in the city, said LGRD and cooperatives minister Tazul Islam
Local government, rural development and cooperatives minister Md Tazul Islam talks to media after visiting the Aminbazar dumping station and Gabtoli mechanical workshop in Dhaka on 22 August 2020UNB
Dhaka is expected to see a sea change in disposal of over 6,000 tonnes of garbage it generates every day once the country's first proposed waste-energy plant in Aminbazar in the capital goes into operation, reports news agency UNB.
"No garbage will be seen strewn here and there in the city once the proposed waste-energy plant in Aminbazar starts generating electricity. The plant will require 3,000 tonnes of garbage a day. If a power plant collects so much garbage, there'll be no more waste in the city," said local government, rural development and cooperatives minister Md Tazul Islam.
The minister made the remarks while visiting Aminbazar dumping station and Gabtoli mechanical workshop in Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) on Saturday.
Tazul Islam questioned why the hospitals in the capital do not have disposal plants of their own
Describing the waste-to-energy plant as his dream project, Tazul Islam warned that no irregularity and corruption will be tolerated in the project.
He said a deal will be signed with a foreign firm to implement the power project. Though it is supposed to go into productions within 18 months after signing the agreement, the firm seeks some more time.
So, the minister said, the project period will finally be fixed during the deal signing and the project will be implemented keeping the environment in special consideration.
The minister said an eco-park will also be constructed next to the power plant.
He said the local government ministry has been working as per the plan adopted by prime minister Sheikh Hasina to clean up all the cities of the country, including the areas of two city corporations of Dhaka. This will help build a clean city soon.
Tazul Islam questioned why the hospitals in the capital do not have disposal plants of their own. If the hospitals did have their own disposal plants, it would have been possible to dispose of medical wastes they are generating, he added.
After visiting the mechanical workshop in Gabtoli, the minister told newsmen that modern equipment will be procured to clean up the city.
He said all the illegally-occupied lands of the city corporations will be reclaimed as soon as possible.

This Warehouse Lab Shows How We Can Grow Plants Underground
By Julia Lull and Arpita Aneja
October 21, 2015 11:21 AM EDT
Dan Barasch and James Ramsey, the cofounders of the Lowline, have been working since 2011 to build the world's first underground park inside an abandoned trolley terminal in New York City's Lower East Side.
For the next five months, Barasch and Ramsey will be showcasing the park's potential at the Lowline Lab, located in a warehouse on the Lower East Side.
The Lowline Lab contains an installation of Ramsey's innovative solar technology, which funnels sunlight from rooftops in the area into the warehouse at an intensity that is strong enough to support plant life. The lab houses some 3,500 plants, including mosses, ferns, herbs, and even strawberries and a miniature pineapple.
Over the next few months, the Lowline and its partners, including the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, will conduct experiments and test the plants to see how successfully they grow in the faux underground conditions. The results will be used to directly inform the horticultural landscape of the future Lowline park.
But the potential of the solar technology spans far beyond illuminating an underground public space. Says Barasch, "I just saw The Martian and…this is part of the same story of pushing the boundaries of how we really cultivate and grow green plants and edible food."
Case in point: The Lowline team says they were recently contacted by the Deputy Secretary from the U.S. Department of Agriculture about using a version of this technology to grow food for astronauts in space.
To check on the progress of the miniature pineapple for yourself, you can visit the the Lowline Lab on the weekends. The lab is open to the public and free of charge on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., through March 2016.

If a student wants to achieve excellence in what he or she does, there is more then just knowledge and diligence that would be required. Academic writing, especially such advanced types of it as analytical and research papers, dissertations and theses, requires ability to critically analyze a subject or area of study. Thoroughly research the matter and provide logical argumentation to support your point of view. There is no doubt that all of the above skills and abilities come with practice, but where does one start if he or she has no previous experience in writing a research paper?
Your first attempt does not necessarily have to be a failure: you can learn from the experience and knowledge of others, who are professionals in academic writing. Our experts are willing to share their skills, knowledge and experience with you, so that you can learn from their examples and soon become successful in your own writing. We suggest that you first acquaint yourself with an extract from a research paper on copyright law which is a sample of one of our writers' works. You will then have a much clearer idea of how a good research paper should look like and where to start with writing your own piece.
If you have been specifically assigned to write a research paper on copyright law, you will find the following extract to be even more useful since it introduces a very up-to-date question of Whether Internet Rebroadcasts of Television Programs Violate Copyright Laws. After reading this extract you will have to critically evaluate and objectively assess your own skills, knowledge and time constraints in order to decide: will you be able to successfully write your research paper on copyright law or any other subject on your own, or you need professional assistance. If the second option seems a wiser choice to you, consider placing an order with our custom writing company and getting qualified assistance first-hand.
Below, you will find an abstract from a research paper example on copyright law. In this research paper on copyright laws, the author discusses various controversies concerning Internet rebroadcasts of TV programs violate copyright laws. Some general arguments (both pros and cons) are being outlinde and later critically evaluated in this research paper example. We hope this will serve as a good example to start on your own writing.
Over the past few years, there have been several controversial moves over whether internet rebroadcasts of television programs violate copyright laws or not. This has specifically been so due to the immense inventions in the information system technology, accompanied by the streaming of TV shows on the Internet.Though this has facilitated easier viewing of the TV shows and other programs at a lower cost and by the broader audience, the producers are incurring a lot of losses and this is basically what sparks up considerable debates in the industry over the issue of the violation of the copyright laws (Jones 464).
This paper will discuss the controversy over the illegal streaming or download rebroadcasts of television shows and programs. This controversy is sparked up because TV shows that are being rebroadcasted tamper with the intellectual property of the original copyright owner who has created them and holds all the rights for their reproduction.
Critics are, however, aware of the fact that most people will prefer to view a TV show over the Internet since it is cheaper (or even absolutely free) than to offer subscriptions and watch the programs through the legal venue. Furthermore, when streaming a video online you are no longer frustrated by endless interruptions due to commercials and TV channel's promotional previews.
The consequence of Internet re-broadcasting is the reduction of the profit margins to the advertisers and creators of the programs. This has an implication that the TV shows will not receive enough money to guarantee profit maximization.
To address this controversial issue of rebroadcasting and spreading of the TV shows on the internet without consent of the producers, this paper will analyze the presentation of the controversial statements with regard and comparison from the scholarly literature and the popular press material that also have the same sentiments over the issue of controversy as far as TV shows and Internet rebroadcasting is concerned (Byers et al 641). This controversial issue will be clearly analyzed and discussed to show how this debate is viewed as pointed out in the selected literature materials.

This dress is a bit different form everything I have in my closet so far. You could say that it's a bit theatrical. The 20's feel that dress has, is something that I absolutely love about it.
The lace body is so delicate and matches the feathered bottom part of the dress perfectly. When I wear the dress, it makes me want to pick up a martini glass and invite all of my friend for a retro party .. :-) :-) What do you think of my new dress ? Would you wear it ?

'Friday the 13th: The Game' News & Update: Virtual Cabin Unlocks a New Room
By Staff Reporter , Updated Aug 04, 2016 08:07 AM EDT
What's the eerie purpose of the Virtual Cabin on "Friday the 13th: The Game" is all for? If only it can save the lives of the poor teenagers, then one might not conclude that it is indeed a killer cabin. The game developer of "Friday the 13th: The Game" has added new contents for the Virtual Cabin and it includes a room solely for the counsellors.
In a recent post about "Friday the 13th: The Game" on the Steam page, it promised a new room within the Virtual Cabin where all the counselors are present. The counselors are presented along with some easter eggs and brand new features all ready to be explored.
Moreover, the Virtual Cabin on "Friday the 13th: The Game" is basically the display area of the entire game. It is a stand alone work and serves as the museum; something that most of the team works on during their free time.
So, just how much can you get from a museum? Apparently, none really, but if you're fond of discovering the whole game, then the Virtual Cabin may serve as the main storage of everything you will encounter on the "Friday the 13th: The Game."
Unfortunately, you can't just view the museum without purchasing the Virtual Cabin and you can get this for $15.00 in the US. The minimum hardware requirement in order to play the game should be: Windows 7, 8, 10, 2.0 GHz Dual-Core 64-bit CPU, 8GB Memory, DirectX 11 Compatible GPU with 2GB Video RAM, and 3GB Hard Disk Space

Q: Facebook PHP app: infinite loop when logging in I am developing a simple Facebook Canvas app using the latest PHP SDK (v4). The first page (index.php) displays the Facebook permissions pop-up (it only asks for the public profile and the email address) and then lets the user to enter certain data through a form. Some other user's data are retrieved from the API and stored in PHP session variables. After the form is submitted, the user is taken to a second page (thanks.php) where the session variables are saved in a database. The app is located in /facebook/email.
Here is my code. Part of it has been taken from https://www.webniraj.com/2014/05/01/facebook-api-php-sdk-updated-to-v4-0-0/.

For some reason, most of the times the app works well, but sometimes it gets stuck in an infinite loop when it should display the pop-up. The canvas remains blank and the browser seems to be in an eternal "loading" state.
According to Firebug, the redirection isn't working properly. Also, for some reason, the browser can't load an image from a Facebook domain. Look at the following screenshot:

I've found many fixes all around the web (searching for facebook login php infinite loop), but nothing works. I hope someone can help me.

You've probably done some of your own waxing before, and if you're particularly good at it, you may have even helped some close friends with waxing. If you loved helping them wax, take note that full-time waxing jobs are available! It can be a fun way to earn a living while providing much-needed services.
Although cosmetology is usually associated with makeup, that's not all that cosmetologists do. As a licensed cosmetologist, you'll be able to perform a number of services, and that includes waxing. Read on for more information on how a cosmetology degree can help you become a professional waxer.
To become a licensed waxer, you have to receive specific training to prove that you can wax customers without causing harm.
Cosmetologists are by default licensed for waxing. As part of your cosmetology degree, you'll learn how to wax efficiently and with as little pain for the client as possible. You'll also get other important training and knowledge that can help you become a contributing part of a professional salon.
When you get an esthetics degree, you'll be licensed to perform waxing and other hair removal techniques. However, your education will also be centered on performing certain advanced skin care procedures, some of which require more medical knowledge than cosmetology students receive.
Achieving your cosmetology or esthetics degree will allow you to provide waxing services legally, and you'll have the information necessary to do so safely.
However, if you're planning to make waxing the bulk of your work, or even choosing to do it full time, you want to make sure your customers are as comfortable as possible. After all, waxing is a routine requirement, and you want people to come back to your salon when they need it again.
If you want to be well-equipped to deal with waxing in a salon or clinic setting, be sure to take additional waxing classes. This is especially important if you're planning to provide Brazilian or bikini waxes, as these are done in sensitive areas that can very easily become irritated or infected.
By taking a waxing specialty course, you'll learn everything you need to know about specific types of waxing. This includes important sanitation procedures, the right types of wax to use, before and after products available to minimize pain, and techniques that can make the process more comfortable.
Pretty much the entire body is covered in at least some type of hair. Though this only shows up as light, barely noticeable hairs on some people, it can sometimes become thick and dark. When this happens in unwanted areas, it's a prime target for waxing.
Some of these are more difficult than others are, and thus require specialized training. If you want to perform Brazilian and bikini waxes, it's a good idea to take those specialized training courses before you do them professionally.
Different parts of the body also grow different types of hair, which means that if you're most comfortable with that specific hair type, it's probably a good idea to advertise yourself as such. Don't be scared of advertising a niche service; find your niche and stick to it.
Waxing can be a great industry in which to work. It's usually routine work, which means you'll quickly become a pro at doing it for other people. In addition, people have to come in every so often, because waxing isn't just a one-time thing. That means you have great job security, and it means you'll be able to see the same people regularly.
Although in some states you can receive a certification exclusively for waxing, you and your customers will both be more comfortable if you've taken a full program to provide cosmetology or esthetics services.
You can get started on your journey to a cosmetology or esthetics degree today! Ogle School provides the best esthetics and cosmetology programs, tailored to your individual needs. Get in touch today for more information about learn how to get started on a new career path.

It is not that revelatory to say Donald Trump is not filled with love towards Nord Stream 2 project. Yet, no one expected his furious attack on the investment and its main European promoter, Germany, during NATO summit. And undoubtedly his statement may, to some extent, support building coalition against the pipeline. But paradoxically, Trump's words may as well weaken the coalition of opposing countries led by Poland – especially in the context of his recent meeting with Vladimir Putin.
To conduct a solid analysis on energy aspects of the summit, we need to remind and systematise the most important statements made at the summit or in relation to it.
'I think it's very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia, where you're supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia. We are protecting Germany, we are protecting France, we are protecting all of these countries and then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they are paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia', Trump said in Brussels. 'Germany as far as I'm concerned is captive to Russia because it's getting so much of its energy from Russia. I think that is very inappropriate' – he continued. At the opposite point of this the American president placed Poland which does not want to be a captive and, for this reason, has negative attitude towards Russian gas. Such language was being used by Trump during the whole summit. He has referred to Nord Stream 2 as a 'bad deal'.
During a press briefing Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary-General, addressed Trump's comments. He stressed that there are different views for Nord Stream 2 and it is not for NATO to solve that issue. Stoltenberg emphasized that even in Germany there are divergent opinions of the projects. He also omitted controversial geopolitical effects of the pipeline on NATO members from Central Europe.
Merkel's reply for Trump's statement was traditionally balanced. 'I have experienced myself how a part of Germany was controlled by the Soviet Union. I am very happy that today we are united in freedom, the Federal Republic of Germany. Because of that we can say that we can make our independent policies and make independent decisions', chancellor said. Apparently, her diplomatic response may be seen as taking a firmer stance on the project. This results from the inner situation in Germany (significant SPD politicians have repeatedly showed their support for Nord Stream 2) as well as logic ruling the public life. Giving in to American demands would be a political suicide. Paradoxically, it may appear that Angela Merkel with her not particularly favourable attitude towards NS2 would have to defence her position. This appears even more likely when considering recent German-American disagreements.
Trump was immediately backed by the American State Department. 'We have been clear that firms working in the Russian energy export pipeline sector are engaging in a line of business that carries sanctions risk (…) We believe it would undermine Europe's overall energy security and stability by providing Russia another tool for the political coercion of European countries, especially Ukraine. Russia understands that this project is dividing Europe, and is using that to its advantage', the spokesman commented.
As it is easy to guess, Trump's strong verbal attack on Nord Stream 2 and German-Russian alliance had to provoke Kremlin's reaction. Yet, the Russian position was not surprising. The Press Secretary for the President of Russia referred to this as egregious example of unscrupulous competition motivated by forcing European buyers to purchase more expensive LNG. Dmitry Peskov did not agree with Trump's comments on the political aspects of the pipeline. He stressed that Nord Stream 2 is purely commercial project that correspond to the interests of suppliers of natural gas and the buyers of natural gas in Western Europe. Since his arguments are well-known and were many time refuted, we shall not give attention to them.
Donald Trump accustomed us to his unconventional activities. He has repeatedly pushed over the bargaining table to set the new one. He does not hesitate to make 'ultimate' arguments, accuse of hypocrisy and drive a wedge between European countries, groping them into 'good' and 'bad' categories. This time it was almost the same.
Yet, the American president's words have some significance due to his formal position as a head of the superpower. We should highlight the priority status of Nord Stream 2 that was again under discussion at a high level meeting, despite being cumbersome for part of the European elites. For Poland and other opposing countries this is a positive boost, strengthening their position in the struggle for European solidarity and laws. For still hesitant Denmark Trump's statement also seems to be a stimulus which may result in veto of the Nord Stream 2 project. It would force investors to change the route of the pipeline which means higher costs and delay of the project. However, it would not bring it to an end.
Increase of political costs of the project is certainly a great benefit of the summit. Trump's speech was full of arguments that capture imagination of Western Europeans who often perceive relations with Russia differently. A picture of Germany or France stuffing Putin's pockets (or more directly, funding his repressive political regime) is more than powerful. This fact was raised many times by Polish politicians. 'In case of NS2 operation, Russian dependence on Ukraine will be declining. We can imagine then various military and political scenarios and this is the thing I warn our allies against. This is the danger I talked to Mr Tillerson about in Warsaw a few weeks ago', prime minister Morawiecki said in February, just before his trip to Berlin.
The place, date and context of Trump's words are not coincidental. The American president neatly joint energy security issues with (more important from his point of view) increasing expenditure for defence in NATO. Threatening to pull US out of alliance may suggest that previous attempts of encouraging NATO members to raise the expenditure did not succeed. That is why Trump has been looking for more serious arguments.
The scenario of raising Nord Stream 2 issue in order to achieve a 'greater goal' should be deemed as the most probable. Although US has repeatedly pointed the finger at the insubordinate NATO members, American administration has taken no concrete steps (for instance, measures included in CAATSA) so far. Unfortunately, it would increasingly seem that this offensive rhetoric is no more than a negotiation strategy instead of real support for NS2 opponents. Communications from Trump-Putin meeting seem to confirm this observation. The subject of potential sanctions or Europe's dependence on Russian resources simply disappeared. What we could hear from the American president was a… willingness of competing with Russian gas. Referring to the Polish realities, we would say that Trump is 'in favour or even against' the pipeline. And this is certainly not good news.
Summing up, Trump's charge was truly impressive and would even have an effect on the project. Undoubtedly, it was also a signal of problematic nature of Nord Stream 2 sent to the western companies involved in the undertaking. Yet, the real value of Trump's statement at the summit depends on future decisions and actions the president would take. If not (what we sadly expect), his performance will remain a token gestures or even, in the worst case scenario, a true disservice.

Q: CDF to give away with a custom StyleSheet Related to this.
I would like to be able to give away CDF documents created with a custom StyleSheet.
The important peculiarity is that this document is assumed to be viewed on a machine with no such StyleSheet.
The second one is that in the cases I have in mind delivering a separate file with the StyleSheet to be installed on that machine is absolutely out of question.
The StyleSheet should be, therefore, somehow embedded into the document, if this is possible.
This is the difference with respect to the answer I mentioned in the beginning. There Vitaly Kaurov created a custom StyleSheet, using it produced a CDF file and opened it on the same machine.
On the other hand modifications may be subtle. That is, the StyleSheet in question is built by a slight modification of one of the existing StyleSheets, such as increased line spacing, increased font size and, may be, few others.
My question: do you see such a possibility?

Oracle introduces new logistics capabilities to boost global supply chains
IANSLive
New Delhi, Jan 25 (IANS) Cloud major Oracle is introducing new logistics capabilities within its Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing (SCM) offerings, that will help customers cut costs, improve accuracy and automate regulatory compliance.
Logistics leaders are overwhelmed with a recent buildup of port and shipping delays, fluctuating fuel costs, and evolving trade regulations while also being at the forefront of efforts to reduce carbon emissions of goods in transit.
"The last few years tested the flexibility of global logistics operations and many organisations have struggled to keep pace with the changing market," said Derek Gittoes, vice president of supply chain management product strategy, Oracle.
"With Oracle Transportation Management and Oracle Global Trade Management, organisations can rapidly adapt to changes in their supply chain and logistics network," he added.
The new capabilities help customers validate Certificate of Origin, reduce tariffs, and enter new markets.
With a deep view into the bill of materials, Trade Agreement Qualification enables customers to comply with labor regulations and prove where goods were produced via auditable records, said Oracle.
"As an increasing number of Indian businesses continue to expand overseas, Â the ability to respond quickly to changing demand, supply, and market conditions can be a huge competitive advantage," said Kaushik Mitra, senior director, Cloud ERP, Oracle India.
With the new logistics capabilities, supply chain professionals will gain real-time insights across the entire supply network to make critical business decisions and respond to any global change with confidence, Mitra added.

Nadat Carlos Reygadas, die met films als Japón en Stellet Licht uitgroeide tot een van 's werelds meest invloedrijke cineasten, met Post tenebras lux al een radicale stap in de richting van autobiografische fictie deed, neemt hij met het even poëtisch-intieme als visueel overdonderende Nuestro tiempo een logische, maar ambitieuze volgende stap. Hij speelt zelf de hoofdrol van dichter en stierenrancheigenaar Juan, die erachter komt dat zijn vrouw Esther (gespeeld door Reygadas' echtgenote Natalia Lopez) een affaire heeft met een Amerikaanse vriend, paardendresseur Phil. Ondanks, of dankzij, de afspraken over een open huwelijk, lopen de spanningen op als Juan vindt dat Esther niet open genoeg is over haar gevoelens.
Reygadas gebruikt zijn unieke filmtalent (en dat van cameraman Diego Garcia) voor gedurfd ongemakkelijk en openhartig zelfonderzoek: een Kammerspiel over machismo en liefde, narcisme en verdriet, gemaakt met de bravoure van een klassieke western.
it isn't difficult to define what unilateral love is; for example, that which one professes for forests or animals, what one feels for a place or a friend, that which we feel for our children or perhaps, even that which may be felt for one's parents. but when we speak of love between a couple all approaches seem much more complex. although not often, we tend to ask sensitive questions: how do we distinguish love from possession? fidelity from loyalty? do we need sexual exclusivity? can love last forever? or is that which unites a couple to the end something more like habit? less common, however, synthesising the questions above, arises another question which is: when we love our spouse, do we always want their wellbeing above all else? or only to the extent that this does not affect ours? in short: is love relative? in a world that is coming to a close, that of fighting bulls, surrounded by love and family harmony, the couple in this film confronts these issues in a radical manner: by facing the imminent destruction caused by an extramarital desire. juan wants to live his love in the most absolute sense and expects the same in return. esther appears to be a revitalising catalyst. damage can be part of love, but can a couple survive such a situation without suffering an irreparable fracture? the film involves the presence and life of the fighting bulls: their instinctive passing of time. the bulls are a reference, not necessarily allegorical, of the life of humans: rational and animals, governed by their values but also subject to their instincts. the aim is not to describe love or death but to feel something similar to the experience of ceasing to be loved or having the impression of it. we will shoot landscapes, animals and people from tlaxcala. time will be told through the changing of the seasons; thoughts with more dialogue than i've employed in previous films; the emotions with the sensations of the characters.
Vanaf 3 oktober 2019 is NUESTRO TIEMPO te zien in de filmtheaters.
Carlos reygadas is a mexican film director, writer and producer. he studied law in mexico city and later specialized in armed conflict law and the use of force in london. after quitting the mexican foreign service he made four short films in belgium before filming japón, which was presented at the rotterdam and the cannes film festivals in 2002, where it received a special mention for the camera d'or. the film was coproduced by himself and his long time producing partner, jaime romandía. in 2004 they produced amat esclante's first film, sangre, and have since coproduced the rest of them. in 2005 reygadas premiered at the cannes film festival his second film, battle in heaven, in competition. also at cannes he was awarded the jury prize in 2007 for silent light and the best director award for post tenebras lux in 2012.

Aspendale History
Aspendale was occupied by Australian Aboriginals for many thousands of years before European settlement. Europeans began farming the area in the 19th century and displaced local inhabitants. When European appropriation began, the land was occupied by the Bunurong people. The geography of the area at the start of European settlement consisted of large sand dune complexes on the coast, and wetland areas inland. The area is flat and low-lying, reaching above sea level by only a few metres.
The geography and ecology of the area has undergone radical changes as a result of European settlement. Much of the wetland area was drained during the second half of the 19th century, with the largest remnants now protected in the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Ramsar site, part of which lies in Aspendale. Likewise, only modest remnants of the sand dunes exist today near the beach. The beach is a depositary, sandy beach, and the waters remain shallow a long way out. Although no wetland areas remain in Aspendale itself, significant wetland areas have been preserved in the adjacent suburbs of Edithvale and Aspendale Gardens and these areas provide a good indication of what Aspendale once would have looked like. Migratory bird species from all over the world visit these areas.
Aspendale was home to Aspendale Park racecourse, a horse racing and motor racing track. The suburb's name comes from Aspen, a successful racehorse. Aspendale train station was built primarily to cater towards the racing crowd in the early part of the 20th century. The racecourse closed in the 1920s, and nothing remains of it.
Although there are a few older houses nearer the beach, it was in the 1960s and 1970s that Aspendale was extensively subdivided for residential purposes. Today, it is almost entirely residential in character. Houses are typically detached and made of brick. Blocks of land from this era are usually a quarter of an acre in size. Many of the street names are Aboriginal words, e.g. 'Yallambee,' 'Iluka,' 'Tarlee,' 'Nirringa' and 'Cooinda.' Other streets are names after racehorses, e.g. 'Marabou,' 'Lincoln' and 'Gothic.'
Aspendale Post Office opened on 16 December 1908. Aspendale railway station opened in April 1891 as Aspendale Park Race-Course, and was renamed Aspendale in 1905.
During the late 1950s the Catholic population of Aspendale sought to celebrate Mass locally, initially at Martin's Dance Hall opposite Aspendale Station. When the hall was sold, Mass was celebrated in the old Scout Hall at Regents Park. In 1961 the current Catholic school and church site was purchased, with the school opening in 1965.
The ornithologist Archibald James Campbell took a number of nature photographs in Aspendale between 1896 and 1903. In the 1960s, the art dealer and restaurateur Georges Mora had a beachside house in Aspendale which was regularly visited by artists such as Albert Tucker and Sidney Nolan. This role of Aspendale as an artists' haven was recognised in an exhibition at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery in early 2008.
Prior to forming part of the City of Kingston, Aspendale was part of the City of Chelsea and, before that, the Shire of Carrum.

Facebook is sponsoring a "new mobility world" at the Frankfurt show that brings together carmakers, tech companies and start-ups in areas such as autonomous driving and electric cars.
On Wednesday - when Sandberg was attending a marketing conference in Germany - Facebook tightened its rules on who can make money from advertising on its network to make it harder for providers of fake news and sensational headlines to cash in.
This story "Sheryl Sandberg Tells Germans: Don't Worry About Facebook Car" was written by Reuters.

In a recent alert, the FDA announced that effective June 18, 2019, the Agency will publish additional data in the Orange Book Paragraph IV Certifications list. To enhance the already published data, the Orange Book will now include (1) the number of potential first applicants; (2) the 180-day decision date; (3) the date of the "first applicant" approval; (4) the date of first commercial marketing by any first applicant; and (5) the expiration date of the last qualifying patent.
According to the FDA, the updated data listing comports with the Agency's commitment under the Drug Competition Action Plan where the FDA "committed to enhancing efficiency of the development and approval of ANDAs, with the ultimate goal of more approvals."
Historically, the Orange Book Paragraph IV Certifications list has contained relevant information related to 180-day eligibility for generic drug products. Until recently, the listings included the name of the drug product, dosage form, dosage strength(s), the reference listed drug, the New Drug Application Number and the date upon which the first substantially complete application containing a Paragraph IV certification was submitted to the Agency.
The new data will provide greater clarity to Hatch-Waxman litigants in a variety of ways. More specifically, with respect to the number of first applicants, the data will provide the number of substantially complete ANDAs that contain a paragraph IV certification to at least one patent listed for the reference listed drug on the first date a certification was submitted. As to the 180-day decision date, the information will indicate whether the FDA approved at least one first applicant's ANDA and considered the drug for 180-day exclusivity, or whether the FDA approved a first applicant but did not make a determination regarding eligibility for exclusivity, or the FDA tentatively approved a subsequent applicant based on a first applicants eligibility for 180-day exclusivity at a time that there were no ground for forfeiture, or the FDA determined that 180-day exclusivity has been extinguished. The first applicant approval information will identify the first date on which the first applicant's ANDA received final approval and where there are multiple first applicants, only the date of the first approval will be posted. The date of first commercial marketing will reflect the first commercial marketing by any first applicant. Finally, the patent expiration data will identify the last expiration date of any patent(s) that qualifies any first applicant for 180-day exclusivity but will not reflect any pediatric exclusivity for the reference listed drug associated with the last expiring patent.

Chipotle's stock took a beating again Tuesday in the wake of news that the restaurant chain has been linked to a second outbreak of E. coli, just weeks after dozens of its diners reported becoming sickened by a rare strain of the bacteria.
CMG shares ended down almost $27.40, or 5.3% drop to about $494.61 Tuesday following a $19 drop on Monday.
The Centers for Disease Control said Monday that it was looking into an outbreak of a different DNA fingerprint of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli that had sickened five people in North Dakota, Kansas and Oklahoma between Nov. 18 and Nov. 26th. In each case, the person had eaten at a Chipotle in the week before they got ill.
The restaurant chain's reputation had already suffered in recent weeks after 46 of 53 people sickened during an earlier E. Coli outbreak reported to have eaten at a Chipotle restaurant in the days before. Earlier this month the company was also rocked when at least 120 Boston College students and others got sick after eating at Chipotle though those incidents were likely connected to norovirus and not E. coli, according to the company.
Investors, however, did not seem reassured. The Mexican-food chain had been one of the most coveted stocks over the last three years, but after questions around food safety arose, shares plummeted 29% in the second week of December from their higher point over the past year. The stock closed Monday down 3.5% to $522.01.
Researchers aren't certain if this latest spate of illnesses was related to the previous, more far-reaching outbreak that stretched across nine states but was largely concentrated in Oregon and Washington. Among those earlier incidents, the most recent case linked to Chipotle involved an individual who became sick on Nov. 10.
Another person, in Pennsylvania, also reportedly became ill during that earlier outbreak on Nov. 14, 2015, But that individual had not eaten at a Chipotle.

Space Challenge
Making a board game in San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua
acrylicartprojecttravel
Outside of our home there was always a stickball game in action. The homemade ball was often lost, hit high over one of the neighbors corrugated tin roofs.
And then the game would pause as little Paulo disappeared into the house to gather materials. Usually they balled up newspaper and wrapped it heavily in electrical tape, though the kids preferred to create the ball with a bunched up sock in its core – a fact kept secret from their mothers. A new ball would appear, and the game would begin anew, arguments and victory chants alternating on the cobblestone streets.
There was always such a game underway when we strolled back to our house after having taught our evening class to the parents of these avid stickball players. The parents' class was made up of ceramic artisans who owned tiny shops around San Juan de Oriente, an area known for keeping its long ceramic traditions alive, pulling from their Mayan roots. The curriculum was mainly sale's english, but ventured a little into basic book keeping, email usage, and basic internet research skills. If you're curious about their work you can check out the site we built for them.
But we had to craft a different kind of class for the kids, who needed to be enticed into ending their futbol or stickball games. So we played games of our own that intertwined english vocab, and started giving out points for some future, and nebulous prize whenever questions were answered correctly. It kept them excited for a month. And then it started to crumble. It was time for something else.
One day Katrina and I decided to pull it all together. We had a few hours before class started and began running around looking for supplies: a slightly damp piece of cardboard that Alfredo used for mixing paints, sheets of paper in varied pastel colors, a paint brush from the grandmother who ran the small storefront on our corner, my undoubtedly bootleg "Windsor" acrylics that had been in my bag since Hanoi, Vietnam, and my exacto knife from Bangkok.
And thus we began making the board game that would reinvigorate our class.
The concept was pretty good.
As the players moved around the board, they were presented at each turn with questions – How old are you?, basic vocab – Que es campana en ingles?, or challenges – Write 5 english words on the board while holding your breath". Answer correctly and they could advance – incorrectly and they stayed put. A game lasted a few classes, but the genius was that the game could be replayed and replayed with only the addition of some new cards – just a little paper. The cards and their various challenges were Katrina's department. As the piles of cards grew, the game board evolved as well as I added obstacles, rewards, and purely aesthetic details. Each day as they piled in, they investigated the board for changes. The game didn't even have a name until the final few days. Space Challenge.
Well, they were totally entranced, and their same arguments and victory chants continued as we played. The matches were tight, and sometimes we'd have to enforce breaks as tempers flared – especially on rainy days. But they made their way through space, averting monsters and garnering points, and just as we were wrapping up the classes, we made sure all the students had enough points to win the grand prize. We created 15 hand drawn Internet gift cards that awarded each child 4 free hours at the local internet cafe. We had made a deal with the guy who ran the shop, and he signed each card and promised to honor them once we had left.
There were a few moments when we considered the possibility of marketing such a game for learning english from any language, and I guess the potential is there. But really it was wonderful simply to make something for these kids that they really honored and treasured.
Though I wouldn't doubt that the board is in pieces by now after some mid-space skirmishes, balled up and wrapped in electrical tape, flying around the streets of San Juan de Oriente.
At least it will save Paulo some socks.

Metro-North New Haven Line Penn Station Access
This forum will be for issues that don't belong specifically to one NYC area transit agency, but several. For instance, intra-MTA proposals or MTA-wide issues, which may involve both Metro-North Railroad (MNRR) and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). Other intra-agency examples: through running such as the now discontinued MNRR-NJT Meadowlands special. Topics which only concern one operating agency should remain in their respective forums.

METRA cars, be they acquired new or from a predecessor road, are all Gallery.

New cars being manufactured by Alstom for METRA and VRE are not gallery cars, but are bilevel. See this discussion around the RFP and Wikipedia for references to the award.

Mr. Randall, my knowledge has been expanded!
Now, with the - let's just accept it - permanent loss of business METRA and likely every other rail commuter agency has suffered, just how many of these new METRA cars will be delivered and placed in revenue service.
Based on an hour of "railfanning' I did at Riverside during May (hotel room was not ready) "body count" does not appear to be any stronger on Metro-North than METRA.

METRA I think has older equipment, so I would think the intent here is to replace, not add. I would not expect any options to be executed on METRA's contract. Any purchases will have their intent shifted from expansion to replacement.
I want to know, have you ever seen the train, coming down, on the rail?

Interesting, it looks like they are. It appears, at least on the surface that if they wanted to, they could both share the low-level design used by commuter lines in the South and West.
Arlington wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 10:17 am They don't, but it'd sure be nice to buy highly standard EMU equipment. Swapping in a 60hz-only module would be fine if it saved a little weight and cost
Exactly. It shouldn't be too hard to have the space/capacity for the 25hz transformer, and spec the MBTA version with a 60hz-only transformer. In theory, 25hz-capable standardized cars could through-run between MBTA, CDOT, MN, NJT, and SEPTA, although operationally, it probably makes more sense for MBTA to have a captive fleet and for thru-running to be limited to MN, NJT, and maybe SEPTA.
daybeers wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 11:29 pm Highly disagree; it's wonderful to have to use the high-level platforms that are much more accessible for all.
The mini-high at NLC was never designed for commuter/regional rail. It was for an occasional Acela stop, everything else was designed to continue using the low-level platforms, or the crossing as SLE used to use. There are several cars worth of low-level platforms, and only a short mini-high on the 1 Track.
High-levels need to go away in most places. Build gauntlet tracks. Trap steps for high-level equipment are notoriously steep and dangerous, especially in winter.
I think you mean low-levels, in general I agree on standardization for high-level lines, and it should be pursued on all high-level systems in most places, but there are oddball exceptions like NLC at the end of the line with limited high-level platforms.
ExCon90 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 11:40 pm Gauntlet tracks are expensive -- I think starting at 7 figures for each end, and they have to be interlocked just like crossovers, plus maintained after that. Maybe OK if it's only a few, but a whole string of stations would really run up the tab. The cars that NJ Transit bought for the EL served only low-level stations and had doors that extended all the way down to the bottom step -- I assume that did a lot to keep ice and snow out.
It's not relevant to NLC, as the Shore Line uses mostly removable platform edges that could, in theory, be used for high/wide loads, and AFAIK, have never been used since 1999/2000 when the line was electrified and high-level platforms were installed. Normal freight operations operate at Plate C clearance, which clears the normal platform edge.
Gauntlet tracks are primarily used on freight-heavy lines where routine freight operations don't want to run right up against high-level platforms at Plate C/F/H clearance, and the commuter trains have to bend inwards to the platforms. Old Saybrook and the Hartford Line has gauntlet tracks for high and wide freight that AFAIK, have never been used. I don't know how many locations have the need for regular use of gauntlet tracks like the NJT Raritan Valley Line at Union and Roselle Park. In most cases, high level platforms can have swing-down edges that theoretically a crew could manually undo and swing down for high-and-wide loads like a transformer or something, but stay in their regular position for normal local freight operations with wooden edge boards so that if a car that's leaning to the platform side or has other mechanical issues scrapes it, the platform can be easily repaired. There are other solutions like power retractable/tiltable edges as well.
It may be worth the cost to do gauntlet tracks and interlockings for the few places that really have significant freight traffic, like SEPTA West Trenton and Norristown Lines, which need some serious station rebuilds anyway. If space isn't available for gauntlet tracks, then power retractable platform edges might work as well. Or these few stations could be left as low-level and everything else made high-level, which will still improve service to the low-level stations by reducing travel times along the line.

There are mini-highs on both track 1 and track 2, they're just offset. It's much easier to use the high-level with a bridge plate than dealing with steep, slippery steps that are unreliable, especially in the winter.

I don't think 2 is a mini-high, I think that's an actual high-level platform. 1 has the little mini-high for Acela, everything else AFAIK was using the low-level in front of the station up until SLE switched to the M-8s.
Re: Contract Awarded For Penn Station Access Project

So what is the status of this project?
Instead of flyover at shell. Start a flyover betweem NH tracks 1 & 2 at end of station platform and join Amtrak somewhere past shell on the abandoned tracks foot print ?
It is now under construction. Groundbreaking ceremony held for Metro-North Penn Station access project - YouTube - some politicians shoveled some dirt: Gov. Kathy Hochul, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Richie Torres.
Groundbreaking for Metro-North Penn Station access - YouTube
Gov. Kathy Hochul called Eastern Bronx a "transit desert", saying that much of it will be within one mile of one of the new stations. Stations that will make high-paying jobs in Manhattan much more accessible.
The stations:
Morris Park
Parkchester
A transit desert no more, officials tout Bronx benefits of Penn Access Project at groundbreaking – Bronx Times
The stations are expected to open in 2027.
Penn Access will transform Amtrak's Hell Gate Line from two to four tracks in the East Bronx and Westchester. The line will then connect the New Haven line in New Rochelle to the new Bronx Metro-North stations, before ending up at Penn Station.
At the NY state governor's site:

lpetrich
ICYMI: GOVERNOR HOCHUL ANNOUNCES GROUNDBREAKING FOR METRO-NORTH PENN STATION ACCESS PROJECT TO BRING FOUR NEW STATIONS TO THE BRONX - lots of politicians and administrators praising the project, but also some details, like
In addition to four new ADA stations, the project will turn the existing 2-track railroad into a largely 4-track railroad, with over 19 miles of new and rehabilitated track work. This expansion to a 4-track railroad will provide service flexibility to support the increase in Metro-North and Amtrak trains expected to operate through the area and allow for workarounds in the event of a service disruption.
The additional service necessitates an expansion of Metro-North's New Rochelle Yard in Westchester, along with modernization of signal, power and communication infrastructure. This will consist of four new interlockings, five new substations, reconfiguration of the Pelham Bay interlocking and upgrade of two existing substations.
The project also includes rehabilitation work to repair and strengthen the following four bridges to carry additional train traffic: Bronx River Bridge, Eastchester Road Bridge, Bronxdale Avenue Bridge and Pelham Lane Bridge.
What schedule?
One of the first project elements to take place will be the construction of the Leggett interlocking, one of the four new interlockings. The Leggett interlocking will be located south of the proposed Hunts Point Station. Construction of actual passenger rail stations is expected to begin 2024. The anticipated completion date for the Penn Station Access Project is 2027.
Coming in late, and looking at the available documentation, my immediate take is.
"Nice. I'm still taking the Hudson River route in my novel..."
Still have to add a third track, and extend DC from Sunnyside. It's a step in the right direction though. Farther down the road the Pelham Bay Bridge has to be replaced. That may allow some infill stations, perhaps at Pelham Wood and City Island.
Now if they could connect the Bay Ridge branch to the LIRR main line and run to Jamaica, that would be impressive lol. Grade issues, though. Still, the Bay Ridge is being studied by the City.

There's really nothing between the Pelham Bay Bridge and New Rochelle.
That would be a cool connection, but it would be technically quite challenging. IMO, the better option is to build TriBoroRX as FRA heavy rail ticketed like commuter rail (which needs to use proof of payment, but that's a whole different issue) using 25kV AC electrification from Bay Ridge all the way to two stations serving Co-Op City in the center of I-95. It is quite feasible if 2/3 of the trains from Bay Ridge were terminated at 30th Ave, with 1/3 continuing on to the HGL via an interlocking at Oak Point. The station at Astoria-Ditmars is probably not feasible, but most of the rest of the various connections with transit are.
What that gets you is a line that includes a transfer station between the Bay Ridge Branch and both the LIRR Main Line and the Port Washington branch. I think it's feasible to add two additional tracks for a restored Rockaway Beach Branch on LIRR and fan them out for island platforms serving both RBB and Main Line trains to transfer with the HGL trains. I'd think that most of the trains on the HGL would be TriBoroRX, but at that point it would be technically feasible to run trains from New Haven to the transfer station where LIRR Main Line trains would go to Jamaica.
