The U.S. only has 6,000 fast charging stations for EVs. Here's where they all are.
Electric vehicles appear poised to drive into the mainstream—but where will they plug in?
Andrew Mosemanarchive page
Currently, there are only 6,000 charging stations across the country, some with multiple chargers but others with only one or two. The Biden administration's dream of having a half million charger plugs by 2030 may help ease the problem. But it's about where those chargers go, not just how many there are. For EVs to really take off in the US, it's crucial we shorten the gaps between stations now common along America's less populated expanses.Allie Sullberg
The United States has around 150,000 fuel stations to refill its fleet of fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. Despite the rapid growth of all-electric vehicles in America—400,000 of them were sold in 2021, up from barely 10,000 in 2012—the country has only 6,000 DC fast electric charging stations, the kind that can rapidly juice up a battery-powered car. (It has more than 48,000 charging stations of all kinds.)
A glance at America's charging map reveals an abundance of charging deserts. This makes sense, as EVs still represent less than 3% of new car sales. Large cities have a growing number of fast chargers, but not nearly enough to accommodate a major influx of EVs. Away from cities, these chargers are strung along interstate highways closely enough to allow electric cars safe passage. Otherwise, they are nearly nonexistent in rural America. And EV stations have a problem that gas stations don't: "Even the fastest Tesla supercharger is still going to take 15 minutes to put a couple hundred miles on the vehicle," says Jeremy Michalek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and director of its Vehicle Electrification Group.
Michalek says American charging infrastructure lags far behind what's needed for the whole country to transition to electric driving. On the bright side, there is time to catch up, because not all Americans will embrace EVs at once. Most early adopters were those with access to a charger at home in their garage or parking space. Those owners can wake up with a full battery and only need to rely on public chargers when they leave town on an extended trip. But as the country gets to higher levels of EV adoption, the current infrastructure won't be enough. That is why Michalek says the US needs to prioritize bulking up the number of chargers at rest stops along well-traveled highways, especially as more people pile into electric cars for summertime road trips.
"As we get to higher levels of EV adoption, if we don't have enough chargers for peak demand, the wait times are going to be unlike what we see with gas stations," he says.
Charging dead zones will loom larger as more Americans consider an EV. Renters who do not have the option to install a home charger will be hesitant to go fully electric until they can feel confident a public plug will be there when they need it. And as more households drive only electric vehicles, it will be crucial that people can get to all the places they need (and want) to go.
Novel lithium-metal batteries will drive the switch to electric cars
A new type of battery could finally make electric cars as convenient and cheap as gas ones.
The infrastructure bill that passed in November 2021 earmarked $7.5 billion for President Biden's goal of having 500,000 chargers (individual plugs, not stations) around the nation. In the best case, Michalek envisions a public-private collaboration to build a robust national charging network. The Biden administration has pledged to install plugs throughout rural areas, while companies constructing charging stations across America will have a strong incentive to fill in the country's biggest cities and most popular thoroughfares. After all, companies like Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint charge customers per kilowatt-hour of energy they use, much like utilities.
Most new electric vehicles promise at least 250 miles on a full charge, and that number should keep ticking up. The farther cars can go without charging, the fewer anxious drivers will be stuck in lines waiting for a charging space to open. But make no mistake, Michalek says: an electric-car country needs a plethora of plugs, and soon.
Correction: The headline has been updated to reflect there are only 6,000 fast chargers. There are more than 48,000 chargers in total

A cargo subcommand for displaying when Rust dependencies are out of date

## About

`cargo-outdated` is a very early proof-of-concept for displaying when dependencies have newer versions available.

## Compiling

Follow these instructions to compile `cargo-outdated`, then skip down to Installation.

 1. Ensure you have current version of `cargo` and [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) installed
 2. Clone the project `$ git clone https://github.com/kbknapp/cargo-outdated && cd cargo-outdated`
 3. Build the project `$ cargo build --release`
 4. Once complete, the binary will be located at `target/release/cargo-outdated`

## Installation and Usage

All you need to do is place `cargo-outdated` somewhere in your `$PATH`. Then run `cargo outdated` anywhere in your project directory. For full details see below.

### Linux / OS X

You have two options, place `cargo-outdated` into a directory that is already located in your `$PATH` variable (To see which directories those are, open a terminal and type `echo "${PATH//:/\n}"`, the quotation marks are important), or you can add a custom directory to your `$PATH`

**Option 1**
If you have write permission to a directory listed in your `$PATH` or you have root permission (or via `sudo`), simply copy the `cargo-outdated` to that directory `# sudo cp cargo-outdated /usr/local/bin`

**Option 2**
If you do not have root, `sudo`, or write permission to any directory already in `$PATH` you can create a directory inside your home directory, and add that. Many people use `$HOME/.bin` to keep it hidden (and not clutter your home directory), or `$HOME/bin` if you want it to be always visible. Here is an example to make the directory, add it to `$PATH`, and copy `cargo-outdated` there.

Simply change `bin` to whatever you'd like to name the directory, and `.bashrc` to whatever your shell startup file is (usually `.bashrc`, `.bash_profile`, or `.zshrc`)

```sh
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
$ cp cargo-outdated ~/bin
$ source ~/.bashrc
```

### Windows

On Windows 7/8 you can add directory to the `PATH` variable by opening a command line as an administrator and running

```sh
C:\> setx path "%path%;C:\path\to\cargo-outdated\binary"
```

Otherwise, ensure you have the `cargo-outdated` binary in the directory which you operating in the command line from, because Windows automatically adds your current directory to PATH (i.e. if you open a command line to `C:\my_project\` to use `cargo-outdated` ensure `cargo-outdated.exe` is inside that directory as well).

### Options

There are a few options for using `cargo-outdated` which should be somewhat self explanitory.

```
USAGE:
    cargo outdated [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help              Prints help information
    -R, --root-deps-only    Only check root dependencies (Equivilant to --depth=1)
    -V, --version           Prints version information
    -v, --verbose           Print verbose output

OPTIONS:
    -d, --depth <DEPTH>       How deep in the dependency chain to search
                              (Defaults to all dependencies when omitted)
    -p, --package <PKG>...    Package to inspect for updates
```

## License

`cargo-outdated` is released under the terms of either the MIT or Apache 2.0 license. See the LICENSE-MIT or LICENSE-APACHE file for the details.

This roomba-sized robot can paint on walls!
Carlo Ratti's Scribit is a small printer with big ambitions and the ability to take on the biggest canvases possible. Scribit is a robot that allows users to draw on walls, whiteboards, pieces of glass, or plastered drywall. Suspending itself from the uppermost corners, the Scribit can pretty accurately track coordinates (like a delta 3D printer, but without the Z axis) and create artworks on massive walls using the CMYK markers within its design. Using whiteboard markers to create complex artworks, the artworks can also be erased and replaced with new ones from time to time, allowing massive walls to turn into dynamic canvases for art, information, or advertisement.
Readers in Milan, get ready to see the Scribit first hand at the Milan Design Week!

hdsas coffee walk with dr george yohrling
HDSA's Coffee Walk with Dr. George Yohrling
HDSA's Coffee Walk is a series of video conversations between Chris Cosentino, Director of Marketing & Communications, and other members of the HDSA team, enjoying coffee on the streets of New York City. Filmed before COVID-19 confined HDSA's NYC staff to our homes, the most recent Coffee Walk follows Chris and Dr. George Yohrling, Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Mission Officer, on a stroll near Penn Station, chatting about HD research. George talks about how he got involved with Huntington's Disease research, the path from developing and studying animal models to testing drugs in humans, and how HD research influences other genetic and brain disease areas. Noting that dozens of new companies have entered the HD research space, George also explains how HDSA has expanded its programs and roles to meet the increased need for patient and caregiver input into the design of research trials.
If you didn't catch the first coffee walk, a conversation between Chris and Louise Vetter, President and CEO of HDSA, it's worth a watch!
HD Insights Podcast
The HD Insights Podcast, created by the Huntington Study Group (HSG), presents long-form interviews with people shaping care and research in the HD field. The most recent episode features Dr. Adam Vogel, Professor of Speech Neuroscience at the University of Melbourne in Australia. From HSG: Dr. Vogel's team "works on improving how we recognize, describe and treat communication and swallowing deficits in people with progressive neurological disorders, including Huntington disease." He speaks about the importance of communication, speech, and swallowing in quality of life for people with degenerative diseases, and how changes in speech can be used to predict HD symptom onset. "Being able to communicate is such an important aspect of someone," says Dr. Vogel, "so ensuring that we can maintain that capacity as long as possible is a real goal in our group."
This Week in HD History
On April 13th, 1872, George Huntington published a paper called "On Chorea," describing the disease that would come to be known by his name. He was a medical student studying at Columbia University, and had grown up on Long Island, New York, where both his father and grandfather were physicians. In this relatively isolated community, the three doctors saw families with symptoms of a disease that affected their minds and their movements. Huntington was not actually the first to describe the symptoms, but he was the first to do it concisely, publicly, and with extraordinary accuracy for a person of his time. He understood that the disorder ran in families, causing changes in mood and personality as well as uncontrollable movements, known even then as "chorea" after the ancient Greek word for dance. He also correctly reported that if the disease was not passed down from parent to child, then the chain was broken, a remarkable deduction in a time before the study of genetics. Huntington publicized what was then thought to be a very rare and unknown disease, and his paper is still cited today by scientists writing about the origins of HD research.

Breakfast with Queen Elizabeth and other tales
Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron ushers in the 2017-18 season of Lesley University's Boston Speakers Series
During his weekly one-on-one meetings with Queen Elizabeth II to discuss the state of British affairs, Prime Minister David Cameron quickly assessed that he couldn't come up with pretenses to explain away economic troubles or other problems the United Kingdom was weathering.
"I realized, 'I'm the 12th prime minister she's had, including Churchill.' She's heard every excuse," he quipped.
Cameron, the youngest British prime minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812, served from 2010 to 2016, resigning after British voters decided to leave the European Union.
He launched Lesley University's 2017-18 Boston Speakers Series in Boston Symphony Hall on Wednesday night, entertaining the audience with anecdotes from his prime ministership, "unpicking the populist myth," reflecting on Brexit, and even revealing his preference in The Beatles vs. Rolling Stones debate. (See more photos.)
Cameron joked with moderator and WGBH personality Jared Bowen that it was a joy to deliver a speech uninterrupted, compared to raucous sessions on the floor of Parliament, one of which he brought his mother to.
Jared Bowen (left) moderated a Q&A session with David Cameron at Boston Symphony Hall.
"My mother came out ashen faced and said, 'Darling, the things they shout at you!'" he recalled.
He said political leadership requires a thick skin, as well as time and patience, for thoughtful decision-making, which is increasingly challenging in a world facing crisis-upon-crisis and beset by digital distractions.
When asked whether U.S. President Donald Trump's Tweets are affecting America's relationship with its allies, Cameron said he would give President Trump the following advice: "Switch off your television and hand over your phone."
He continued, "It's very hard today to find time to make decisions. When you look back at your political career, which is obviously a little sad doing it at 51, you remember the big decisions, and you regret that you didn't make more of them."
He recounted that Winston Churchill's War Cabinet in 1940 took five days to deliberate and discuss before deciding to fight the Nazis rather than explore a peace settlement with Adolf Hitler.
"In today's world you've got to create some space to make decisions and think," he said. "If all you do is fight Twitter wars, you'll never get anything done."
'Unpicking the populist myth'
Cameron spoke about his brand of compassionate conservatism and devoted the bulk of his speech to highlighting Britain's successes during his tenure as prime minister, using these to illustrate what he called the fallacy of "the populist myth."
He asserted that free enterprise is the best way to improve living standards and economic success for all people and nations, both rich and emerging economies.
"I agree it hasn't worked for everyone. The rewards at the top have accelerated, and the bottom has stagnated," he said. "But don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Don't reject the whole system."
Cameron said that during his tenure, Britain gained three million jobs and saw one million new businesses, while also cutting taxes, paying down the deficit and introducing a higher minimum wage. He said the business community must also play a role to advance global progress around trade, climate and prosperity.
Lesley President Jeff Weiss welcomed the audience to the opening night Lesley's Boston Speakers Series season.
"We need big business to step up to do far more to sustain the economy and the environment," said Cameron. "These problems are so big they can't be solved without big business."
He advocated for the value of international collaborations and alliances such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United Nations, the World Bank and the Paris climate accord – and said that the benefits to the international community outweigh any inefficiencies or flaws.
"All countries need bilateral and multilateral relationships, and we need these things more than ever," said Cameron.
He criticized "ersatz" democracies and "strong man" leaders such as Russia's Vladimir Putin and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"Without a free press, courts and open markets, you make a mockery of democracy," said Cameron.
Fighting for democracy, against extremism
Cameron recalled meeting with Margaret Thatcher when she was elderly and frail. She gripped his hand and locked him in her gaze and said, "The only thing that matters is liberty under the rule of law," which he has taken to heart.
Lesley students Camryn Bevilacqua (left) and Jonathan Cunha gather with David Cameron following the lecture.
He laments the polarization that pits the left and right against each other – and says it's often misguided.
"I'm pro-environment and pro-market. … I approved gay marriage not in spite of my conservatism, but because I am. I'm a big believer in family and marriage," said Cameron, who passed the UK's Same Sex Marriage Act in 2013.
Cameron said the world is in serious geopolitical distress as it grapples with the global migration and refugee crisis, climate change and North Korean nuclear threats. But he believes the greatest threat is Islamist extremism.
"Many on the left refuse to believe this has anything to do with Islam. While many follow Islam peacefully, a small minority has perverted it into a death cult," said Cameron, who asserted that denying this "is delusional."
But he said many on the right get it wrong, too, when they fear all Muslims and "some inevitable clash of civilizations."
"That leads to travel bans on countries rather than individuals," he said. "It's not just wrong – it's dangerous, and might breed more extremists."
He called on members of the audience to support free speech – but not hate speech – and to embody the American ideals of freedom and equality for all. He criticized President Trump for blaming "both sides" for the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August.
"America is so much better than this," he said. "In these dark times, America is still the shining city on the hill. My message to you: Don't give up on this ideal."
A Boston tea party
Earlier in the evening, as the event began, Lesley President Jeff Weiss took the Symphony Hall stage first. He welcomed the packed house to the opening night of the series, expressing his delight to kick off a season of thoughtful lectures on a range of complex issues.
Cameron came on stage amid the din of rousing applause, and warmed up the audience with a few compliments and digs on Boston. Hoisting a jersey, he announced that the New England Patriots are his son's favorite football team. Then he noted there are some shared customs among Bostonians and Britons.

"You serve afternoon tea. You've done interesting things with tea," he deadpanned. "I prefer mine with fresh water. Of course, a lot of relationships get off to a rough start."
He fielded a Q&A session, during which Bowen read audience questions submitted on note cards that included queries about Her Majesty, American politics, and The Beatles vs. Rolling Stones. (It may come as no surprise that he favors the Beatles, and considers Paul McCartney a friend.)
The next speaker in the series is Jon Meacham, a Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian, who will present on Wednesday, Nov. 1, followed by journalist and author Cokie Roberts on Wednesday, Nov. 29. See a full season schedule here.

The men's soccer team dominated Carlow last Thursday, tallying seven goals by seven different players and putting them fifth in the River States Conference standings.
Junior goalkeeper Juan Somoza started in net for Point Park, making five saves in the first half. Senior Ryan Daniels took Somoza's place in the second half and notched six saves of his own.
Sophomore forward Mitchell Roell started things off for the Pioneers with a goal in the tenth minute off a pass from junior Yuki Takeda. Sophomore midfielder Kay In't Ven followed suit just less than three minutes later, putting the Pioneers up 2-0.
With one second left on the clock, freshman midfielder Christopher Ciucanu put in one more, sending Point Park to the locker room up 3-0. Ciucanu would sit out the rest of the game with an injury obtained in his goal-scoring play.
Sophomore Jonathan Roos opened scoring for the Pioneers in the second half with a goal from a cross pass by freshman Ndayisenga Emmanuel in the 49th minute. Emmanuel got a goal of his own in the 55th minute, giving Point Park a 5-0 lead.
Junior Marc Bentley scored one minute after Emmanuel's goal, and freshman Lorenzo Diaz would close scoring for Point Park with a penalty kick in the 88th minute.
The shutout was spoiled by a late goal from Janvier Ramson of the Celtics in the 89th minute, but the Pioneers' strong offense rocked the scoreboard with a final 7-1.
Point Park plays three of their final four games at home, next hosting Midway University on Thursday before hosting Asbury University for senior day on Saturday.


Throughout most of the 1970's, Scott Carpenter aka 'The Boogieman', was a super high energy CHUM jock that listeners absolutely loved.
And Scotty loved them right back.
Like many jocks in the 1960's and '70's, Scott's on-air name was different than the one on his birth certificate. That name is Pat Bergin, and he'd used his real name for much of his early radio career. At CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, he was Dean Scott.
Here's how the name Scott Carpenter came to be.
As for Scott's high energy style on-air, that too was helped along significantly by CHUM Program Director J. Robert Wood.
"My approach on-air was 'up' but not frantic, until one day I got a call from Bob Wood. I was sick with the flu but had come in to do my shift anyway. It was a Saturday so I had a long 5 hour shift. If you don't think 5 hours on the air in a fast temp station like CHUM was exhausting, try it sometime! Anyway, as my energy was giving out by the second, the 'Batphone' lit up and Bob Wood was on the other end.
I knew what was coming. Whenever he used the phrase "Ahhhhh…Scotty", there was criticism on the way.
I sat back and waited for Bob to phone back and tell me to crank it back down. Sure enough, seconds later the 'Batphone' lit up again.
Scott Carpenter became a legend on CHUM. He presided over CHUM's "Canadian Graffiti" programs for many years, he launched the ''Graffiti' parade of hundreds of '50's cars and the subsequent concert at Nathan Phillips Square. His 'Big Honk' event, where Scott told listeners to honk their car horns outside 1331 Yonge Street at precisely 11 PM caused not only a traffic jam, but a warning from Metro Police to 'never do that again'. He also hosted a weekly teen advice program called "Guidance".
And of course, he was 'The Boogieman'.
"As for the name 'Boogieman', I didn't think of that either. It was pretty common in the early seventies to use the term 'boogie' in conjunction with music, dancing, partying, etc. I was on the air one day and using the word copiously as usual…"We're gonna boogie tonight"…"Dis is the baddest, boogiest jam I have EVER heard"…etc. when my op, Bob Humenick piped up over the talkback.
After leaving CHUM in the late 1970's, Scott/Pat/Boogieman worked on-air in both New York and Los Angeles and was a regular fill-in host for Larry King's Mutual Radio Network talk show, before settling down in Virginia and working for the U.S. Department of Energy. Pat is happily retired now and along with his wife Sandee, travels extensively, eats well, and plays his drums at the drop of a hi-hat.
Scott Carpenter aka Pat Bergin has a blogsite featuring many tales from his 'wild and crazy' adventures at CHUM. It's patberginblogspot.ca.

Scott Pruitt told staffers 'find me something to do' when he wanted to vacation on the taxpayer's dime
Eliza Relman
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt takes questions about the Trump administration's withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris climate accords during the daily briefing at the White House in Washington, U.S. June 2, 2017.
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt insisted on luxury hotels and regular trips home to Oklahoma on the taxpayer's dime, his former deputy chief of staff told congressional investigators.
Kevin Chmielewski, who was fired after voicing his objections, says Pruitt told staffers to "find me something to do" in order to schedule travel to his desired destinations.
This comes amid a series of reports that Pruitt has potentially misused agency funds through excessive security and first-class travel and engaged in other ethically questionable behavior.
Scott Pruitt, head of the Environmental Protection Agency insisted on staying at luxury hotels that exceeded the government's cost parameters, flying with airlines not approved by the agency in order to earn personal frequent flier miles, and sometimes fabricated reasons for taxpayer-funded travel, according to one of his former senior deputies.
Kevin Chmielewski, Trump's "body man" on the 2016 campaign trail who formerly served as Pruitt's deputy chief of staff at the EPA, met with congressional investigators this week, and his allegations are detailed in a six-page letter signed by five Democratic lawmakers.
Chmielewski, who was reportedly fired from his post after objecting to some of his boss's requests, said that Pruitt made frequent trips back to Oklahoma, where he owns a home and would spend weekends, using taxpayer funds.
"Find me something to do," Pruitt would reportedly tell his staffers when he wanted to travel to particular destinations.
On a trip to Italy, Pruitt "refused to stay at hotels recommended by the U.S. Embassy, although the recommended hotel had law enforcement and other U.S. resources on site," Chmielewski alleged, according to the letter. The EPA administrator opted for more expensive lodging that did not have as much security, while using taxpayer dollars to bring his personal security team on the trip.
The letter, addressed to Pruitt and signed by Sens. Thomas Carper and Sheldon Whitehouse and Reps. Elijah Cummings, Gerald Connolly, and Donald Beyer Jr., requests a lengthy list of documents concerning Pruitt's activities.
Pruitt's chief of staff, Ryan Jackson, told Chmielewski that he would be fired or reassigned after he refused to approve first-class travel for one of Pruitt's aides on a trip to Morocco.
"The new information provided by Mr. Chmielewski, if accurate, leaves us certain that your leadership at E.P.A. has been fraught with numerous and repeated unethical and potentially illegal actions on a wide range of consequential matters," the lawmakers wrote.
ProPublica reported on Thursday that Chmielewski, whom the letter says "continues to express deep loyalty to the President and Vice President," failed to file mandatory financial disclosure forms during his year in the administration, which is unusual and can result in a criminal charge. Chmielewski settled a $7,667 state tax lien from 2015 in February 2017.
Chmielewski's claims, some of which align with recent reporting, are the latest in a slew of inappropriate activity Pruitt has allegedly engaged in since being sworn in early last year.
Pruitt has reportedly spent an unprecedented amount of agency funds on his personal security, hiring a team of 20 security guards to provide round-the-clock protection, hired a consulting firm to monitor media coverage of the agency, regularly flies first-class because of unproven security threats, rented an apartment tied to a lobbyist with work before the EPA, and gave two EPA staffers significant raises.

Le lycée Gay-Lussac, couramment surnommé Gay-Lu, est un lycée d'enseignement général et technologique, situé dans le centre-ville de Limoges (Haute-Vienne), entre le boulevard Georges Périn, la place Wilson, la rue du Collège et la place Saint Pierre.

Il porte le nom du physicien et chimiste, né à Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat. Ouvert au , il est par conséquent le plus vieil établissement d'enseignement public de Limoges.

Bien qu'il fût l'un des deux seuls lycées de la capitale limousine à ne proposer que des filières générales (ES, L et S) avec le lycée Léonard-Limosin, il proposait depuis la rentrée 2016 une filière technologique (STMG) ainsi que des classes ouvertes aux élèves de plusieurs nationalités différentes arrivant en France.

Histoire

Le collège
Le lycée fut fondé en 1525 par les consuls de Limoges, mais n'ouvrit effectivement qu'en 1583.

.

Au  : quelques évènements
À partir de 1525, pendant la construction des bâtiments, les « étudiants » suivent l'enseignement secondaire donné rue des Ecoles.

Deux membres de la famille Dorat illustrent les premières années du collège de Limoges ; c'est dans ce collège que Jean Dorat a probablement étudié, alors qu'il avait dépassé ses quinze ans (il est né en 1508 et le collège a commencé à exister en 1525) ; et ce collège est aussi un établissement d'enseignement auquel Martial Disnemandi, dit Dorat, père ou oncle de Jean Dorat, a apporté son appui, avec les autres consuls de la ville de Limoges ; en effet, ces consuls ont pris la décision, à cette époque-là, de recruter, pour le collège de Limoges, des prêtres, en retirant aux chanoines du chapitre de Saint-Etienne le privilège de l'enseignement.

Jean Dorat a donc effectué des études au collège de Limoges et il a perfectionné à Limoges son éducation littéraire ; il s'est rendu à Paris en 1537, il y est devenu professeur de culture grecque et latine ; Jean Dorat a eu comme élèves au collège de Coqueret, à Paris, des étudiants originaires de Limoges comme Siméon Du Boys, né à Limoges en 1536, qui avait peut-être lui-même été élève du « Collège des Consuls » de Limoges).

L'ouverture du Collège, retardée par l'épidémie de peste et les guerres de religion, a lieu en 1583.

L'établissement datant de 1583 comprend un corps de bâtiment dont les fondations et certaines murailles se retrouvent dans la partie monumentale du Lycée actuel, ainsi qu'une chapelle dont les deux clochetons, portant la date 1583, subsistent encore. Le premier principal est M. Malherbaud, assisté de six régents, tous prêtres séculiers.

Guillaume Malherbaud, théologal de la cathédrale, docteur en Sorbonne, né dans la paroisse de Folles en Limousin (Folles est une commune de Haute-Vienne, située à l'est de Bessines-sur-Gartempe), était homme de grande érudition. Ce savant avait publié à Paris, en 1566, les légendes de saint Pierre et saint Paul, attribuées à saint Lin, successeur des apôtres, et avait ainsi signalé à l'attention publique ces pièces, qui depuis furent insérées dans la collection des Pères de l'Eglise. Déjà Guillaume Malherbaud avait dirigé avec succès, pendant plusieurs années, le collège de la ville de Chartres. À la prière des consuls, il consentit à prendre la conduite du collège de Limoges. Les écoles s'ouvrirent, et six régents, sous la haute direction du principal, se partagèrent le cours des études. Tant que vécut Malherbaud, le collège prospéra.

En 1598, le chapitre de la Cathédrale confie l'administration du Collège aux Jésuites. Le contrat passé le  entre le R.P. François Solier, supérieur, d'une part, l'Evêque, le Lieutenant-général du royaume, d'autre part, avec la signature de deux élèves : Mouret et Manent. On assiste à une rapide extension du Collège, avec 32 professeurs et 1100 élèves. Le régime est celui de l'externat.

Au  : quelques évènements

Dans les années 1615-1621, sont construits les bâtiments en bordure de la rue du Collège où se trouvait l'oratoire de la Congrégation des élèves. De là provient l'autel qui orne actuellement la chapelle latérale de Saint-Pierre-du-Queyroix.

En 1629, est construite la chapelle actuelle, dite « des Jésuites », sur l'emplacement de la première chapelle effondrée en 1607. Cette chapelle a longtemps servi de salle de gymnastique ; elle abrite un beau retable du .

En 1655-1656, est édifié le bâtiment perpendiculaire à la rue du Collège, sur la place Saint-Pierre. En 1680-1685, est construit le bâtiment qui longe l'église Saint-Pierre et qui touchait les murailles de la ville, non loin de la porte Tourny. En 1685, est élevée la porte avec ornements donnant sur la rue du Collège, ancienne porte d'entrée du Collège.

La chapelle de 1629, construite pour le collège des Jésuites, est désaffectée au culte depuis 1914. Elle abrite depuis 1907 un retable du , provenant de la chapelle de l'ancien hôpital. Cette chapelle a servi de gymnase depuis 1926, et, dans les années 1980 à 1995, outre son usage sportif, elle a servi de salle d'exposition pour les biennales internationales de l'émail de Limoges. Cette chapelle a été construite de 1607 à 1629 ; le retable a été réalisé en 1686 par le menuisier Jean Yvert et le sculpteur Jean Biziou.

Il y a lieu de situer le début du « roman du retable » en 1686, année où est demandée à Jean Biziou et à Jean Yvert la réalisation d'un retable pour la chapelle de la Mission de l'hôpital général de Limoges.
Ce « roman du retable » a connu, en plus de trois siècles, décennie après décennie, de multiples épisodes, et ce roman n'est pas, de nos jours, terminé.
Le retable a été installé dans la chapelle du lycée Gay-Lussac (ancien collège des Jésuites) en 1907, alors que la chapelle de la Mission de l'hôpital général devait être détruite.
Quelques années plus tard, le retable voit la chapelle du lycée désaffectée (en 1914).
Puis, en 1926, le retable voit arriver dans la chapelle des lycéens qui pratiquent le grimper à la corde lisse, le hand-ball, le saut de cheval, etc., car la chapelle sert de gymnase depuis cette époque.
Ce retable, orné de 2 statues colossales : le Christ, la Vierge, a été l'œuvre de  Jean Biziou (sculpteur), Jean Yvert (menuisier), Jean Fournié (sculpteur), Martin Bellet ; si l'on s'intéresse plus particulièrement au tableau qui orne la partie centrale du retable, cette œuvre est de la main du peintre Granaud Jérôme II, dit Granaud le Jeune, et elle date de 1687 ; le thème en est la Descente du Saint Esprit ; on voit dans cette peinture (dissimulée actuellement derrière une paroi de planches) la Vierge, un groupe de femmes levant les yeux au ciel, un personnage enveloppé dans un manteau, un jeune homme regardant la Vierge, les apôtres assis ou agenouillés. Le retable est depuis 1907 classé aux Monuments historiques au titre des objets.

Cette peinture de Granaud le Jeune paraît s'inspirer du tableau de Charles Le Brun « La Descente du saint Esprit », sans doute par l'intermédiaire d'un tableau de la chapelle du séminaire des Ordinands de Limoges qui était inspiré par le tableau de Le Brun.

Les activités de pédagogue et d'écrivain de Pierre Josset, né à Bordeaux en 1589, mort à Tulle en 1663, et qui a été longtemps professeur de Rhétorique au Collège de Limoges, illustrent la situation qui était celle de cet établissement au  et dans la première moitié du  ; la qualité de l'enseignement était élevée, et des enseignants publiaient leurs écrits, comme le fait Pierre Josset, qui publie, en 1650, à destination de ses élèves, un traité de rhétorique, un long poème, en vingt-deux chants, intitulé « Rhetorice ». Cet ouvrage, imprimé à Limoges, le , par Antoine Barbou, typographe du roi, de la ville et du collège de Limoges, est écrit, bien entendu, en latin. Il permet de voir que les connaissances de ces Jésuites, professeurs au collège, faisaient d'eux des intellectuels de haut niveau ; ainsi, sur l'un des sujets traités dans son ouvrage par Pierre Josset, la conformation particulière de la tête des futurs orateurs, en lien avec la constitution physique de l'enfant dont il doit faire plus tard un orateur, le professeur jésuite démontre l'étendue de ses connaissances. Josset doit avoir lu Hippocrate qui, dans un de ses ouvrages parle de la déformation artificielle et volontaire du crâne chez des peuples des bords de la Mer Noire. Il doit également connaître les pratiques qui existaient dans la France de l'époque, en Limousin, et, plus largement, en Aquitaine, comme cette tradition qui consistait à coiffer les nourrissons d'un tissu serré, pour obtenir une déformation crânienne (on connaît, par exemple, la « déformation toulousaine »). Voici un extrait, tout à fait étonnant, du Premier livre, « De prima futuri oratoris œtatula », de l'ouvrage de Pierre Josset, traduit par E. Blanchard, docteur en médecine, membre de la Société Archéologique, à Limoges :

Au  : quelques évènements
En 1762, l'ordre des Jésuites est supprimé. De nouveau, le Collège est administré par des prêtres séculiers.

Dans la période qui est celle du Collège Royal, trois personnes occupent la position de principal, M. Jean Pouyat (de 1763 à 1782), M. Jean-Baptiste Vitrac (en 1782), M. Pierre Martin (de 1782 à 1791) ; la personnalité de Jean-Baptiste Vitrac illustre le rôle que le collège joue à cette époque ; Vitrac a été l'élève du collège, à l'époque où il était dirigé par les Jésuites ; il a été ensuite professeur dans ce même collège ; il est, enfin, devenu principal du collège en 1782.

À l'époque où Jean-Baptiste Vitrac occupe la chaire d'humanités, à partir d', il est amené, en sa qualité de professeur d'humanités, à prononcer des discours publics, à la fin de chaque deuxième année (en alternance avec le régent de troisième) ; l'une des personnes à laquelle l'abbé Vitrac a consacré, sous la forme d'un « éloge », un tel discours, le , est Marc-Antoine Muret ; voici un court extrait de ce discours, dans la forme où cet éloge a été publié en librairie ; on y voit l'abbé de Limoges mettre en avant les personnages illustres du Limousin :

En 1767-1777, sont conduits les travaux de reconstruction du bâtiment monumental en façade sur le jardin et l'aménagement de la grande entrée actuelle. L'effectif des élèves décroît.

Dans les années 1760, au moment où les Jésuites doivent quitter le collège de Limoges (en 1762), et où les consuls de la ville, en accord avec l'évêque, Louis Charles du Plessis d'Argentré, font le choix de membres du clergé diocésain pourvus de diplômes pour instruire les élèves, la question de la rénovation des bâtiments du collège est posée ; en 1763, un des corps de logis du collège est abattu, et l'architecte Joseph Brousseau est choisi pour édifier le bâtiment qui se dressera en façade au-dessus du boulevard du Collège (boulevard Georges Périn actuel) ; l'architecte limougeaud, fils de Jean Brousseau, charpentier, et qui a appris les métiers des bâtisseurs, comme la taille de la pierre, en Creuse, s'est vu confier par l'évêque, en 1766, un autre chantier, celui du Palais de l'Évêché de Limoges ; pour le collège, Brousseau fait le choix d'un bâtiment simple, sobre, que d'aucuns jugent austère.

Ce choix architectural avait déjà été celui fait par Joseph Brousseau lorsqu'il avait édifié, quelques années avant d'œuvrer pour le « collège royal », statut possédé de 1763 à 1792, pour d'autres châteaux ou palais en Limousin, comme le château de Sainte-Feyre, en Creuse, le château de Beauvais, près de Landouge ou le palais de l'Evêché de Limoges.

De la Révolution à nos jours
Le lycée fut le théâtre de la réunion des États Généraux du Limousin, dans l'enceinte de la chapelle, le .

Privé de revenus, le lycée ferme ses portes en 1792, après avoir accueilli dans la salle d'exercices la Société des amis de la Constitution, fondée par l'ancien maire Jean-Baptiste Nieaud.

Rouvert par le Directoire, il devient « école centrale », puis « lycée impérial » sous Napoléon .

Redevenu royal avec la Restauration, il prend enfin le nom qu'on lui connaît en 1890.

A la Révolution : quelques évènements
 a gardé le souvenir d'une  pétition par laquelle, le , des « étudiants du Collège National » demandaient aux pouvoirs publics de leur accorder les vacances le , au lieu du  août, et « promettent de rentrer, s'il le faut, quelque temps avant la Toussaint ».

En 1792, on peut relever que les professeurs manquent et que les élèves sont au nombre de 17 seulement. On licencie le Collège. Le grand réfectoire sert aux réunions des clubs politiques ; la chapelle, ornée d'une pyramide, sert à la célébration des cérémonies publiques.

Le , est solennellement ouverte l'« Ecole Centrale » qui succède au « Collège National ». Le Maréchal Jourdan est invité, mais il est grippé et il ne peut assister à la cérémonie. Les professeurs sont laïques et logent dans l'établissement. Il y a, à cette époque, 140 externes et 60 pensionnaires.

Au Premier Empire : quelques évènements
Le , a lieu la dernière distribution des prix de l'Ecole Centrale, qui va devenir Lycée, et c'est un professeur, Jean Foucaud, qui prononce le discours d'usage.

Le , a lieu l'ouverture solennelle du Lycée impérial, en présence de l'Evêque, du Préfet, du Maire, de toutes les autorités. La cérémonie se déroule dans la chapelle du Lycée. Lors de cette cérémonie, le premier proviseur du Lycée, Joseph-Hyacinthe de Gaston, ancien officier de cavalerie, et traducteur de L'Enéide, prononce un discours. Une note parue le  dans le « Journal de Limoges » enjoint aux élèves, sous peine de sanction, « de ne pas sortir seuls dans les rues de Limoges ».

Le premier proviseur dans l'histoire du Lycée de Limoges, Marie-Joseph-Hyacinthe de Gaston, ancien capitaine de cavalerie, traducteur de Virgile, s'intéressait à la poésie, et il a publié une « Ode sur le rétablissement du culte », parue en l'an XI-1802, dans laquelle on trouve cette évocation d'un Cyrus dont le poète attend la venue :

.

Au  : quelques évènements

On note une grosse affluence d'élèves au Lycée Impérial ; à ce Lycée Impérial succèdent, tout au long du  : le Collège Royal, sous la Restauration, puis le Lycée Impérial à nouveau, puis le Lycée National.

En 1806, est construit le bâtiment en bordure de la rue Porte-Tourny.

À partir de la fin du , et l'avènement de la Troisième République, le lycée commence à entretenir une nécessité de tradition commémorative autour des symboles républicains et citoyens. Ainsi, l'association des anciens élèves du lycée, créée en 1877, en apparaît comme le principal instigateur. C'est à son initiative que le premier monument aux morts de l'établissement est inauguré le .

C'est en  qu'un décret est signé par le Président de la République, Sadi Carnot, né à Limoges en 1837, pour attribuer le nom de Gay-Lussac au lycée de garçons de Limoges ; on peut voir là, à cette époque où la France se relève de la défaite de 1870, la volonté de s'affirmer face à la Prusse, et de mettre en avant les gloires nationales, dans le domaine des sciences et des techniques qui a pris de l'importance en cette fin du , domaine dans lequel la capitale du Limousin entend exceller.

Au  : quelques évènements
En 1906, est installée une annexe du Lycée dans les locaux de l'ancienne Préfecture, place Saint-Michel.

En 1934, est inauguré un bâtiment remarquable par son installation scientifique, en bordure de la place Wilson.

Les deux campaniles et le portail d'entrée du  sont inscrits aux Monuments historiques depuis le .

Pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, il sert d'asile pour des dizaines de garçons juifs et alsaciens réfugiés, aidés par l'action du proviseur Joseph Storck, lui-même originaire d'Alsace, en poste à Gay-Lussac de 1938 à 1944. Son cabinet fabrique des faux papiers durant l'Occupation. Il viendra également au secours des lycéens qui seront emmenés au camp d'internement de Nexon. En effet, en 1943, de jeunes résistants, élèves du lycée, se réunissent en un mouvement, le , qui a fait l'objet d'un film documentaire écrit par Guy Girard et Guillaume Coudray, diffusé en 2008 sur France 3, et édité en DVD. Plusieurs de ces lycéens seront arrêtés et déportés. Peu avant la Libération, le Petit Quartier est réquisitionné par la Milice comme caserne. De nombreux résistants et juifs y sont torturés, comme les futurs écrivains Robert Giraud et André Schwarz-Bart.

Devenu lycée mixte vers 1970, le collège est ensuite supprimé à la fin des années 1980, et le bâtiment subit d'importants travaux en 1999 avec la rénovation du Petit Quartier ou Collège, de l'internat et du bloc scientifique. L'intérieur a été défiguré, ces travaux ne respectant en rien le cachet de l'édifice. La structure même des bâtiments ayant été profondément modifiée, des lézardes inquiétantes sont apparues sur la façade correspondant à l'entrée principale.

Au  : quelques évènements
Après une chute de pierres en 2007, et face à la grave dégradation du retable qu'elle renferme (incendies, vols...), la chapelle, qui accueillait une partie des cours d'EPS depuis 1926, subit une importante réfection depuis novembre 2008. Elle pourrait abriter à l'issue des travaux un espace destiné à des concerts ou une salle de conférences.

En 2017, une extension des secteurs inscrits aux Monuments historiques permet à la quasi-totalité du bâtiment d'être désormais protégée, puisque seuls l'ancien lycée impérial et l'aile construite dans les années 1960 échappent désormais à l'inscription.

Événements et personnages marquants

Exchange Stellar Lumens to Basic Attention | FixedFloat
Stellar is a publicly available decentralized marketplace with various assets in circulation. The platform also has its own open source cryptocurrency Stellar Lumens (XLM).
The currency is based on the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which is similar in principle to the BFT protocol of the Ripple platform, but has a significant difference — all network validators are equivalent, there are no central control nodes in the blockchain. XLM coin is more decentralized than Ripple, but less decentralized than Proof-Of-Work cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin and Ethereum).
What is a Memo and do I need to specify it?
When sending XLM, there is an additional Memo field. Memo is the ID of the payment. It is unique, and with its help the service identifies the sender and recipient. Be sure to include it when paying for the order.
If you forgot to enter a Memo or entered it incorrectly, write to our technical support. We will solve this problem.
Stellar Lumens network speed and fees
XLM is considered to be a fast blockchain. The transaction is confirmed in a few seconds. The fee is very small, on average 0.00001 XLM.
A Brief History of Basic Attention
In 2017, Brendan Eich, creator of the popular JavaScript programming language and co-founder of the Mozilla Firefox browser, launched Basic Attention, a decentralized platform. The project includes its own BAT token on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20 protocol) and the Brave browser.

Are you looking to hire veterans in Maine? Would resources be helpful?
Maine has several fantastic resources for employers, but also for veterans searching for jobs. Auta Main, with Maine's Hire -A-Vet campaign explains that unemployment for veterans in Maine is less than 2%, one of the lowest in the entire country!
Main described how important employment was, not only for financial reasons, but also as "a social network, as a place to gain, share and hone your skills, a place where you feel a sense of belonging and accomplishment." Veterans can bring tremendous leadership experiences to civilian workplaces, yet employers may not know how to find them or how to discover their hidden assets.
1. Maine Career Center has Veterans Representatives available to help employers and veterans looking for jobs. The Career Center also runs a campaign called Hire-A-Vet which has "connected more that 300 employers with over 700 veteran-hires" since 2015! The campaign works to expand the hiring of veterans in Maine, educate employers on military language and culture and give recruiting and hiring assistance. The US Department of Labor and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies have recognized them as a best practice!
2. Boots2Roots is another resource for employers and job seekers alike! The Maine nonprofit aims to help transitioning military members and employers connect. Working with volunteers and sponsors, military members are assisted with their integration into the Maine workforce!

Part 1 of this blog 'Is TDI going to make the HANA Appliance model Obsolete'. was published in August 4th, 2014. By March 2015 it has been reviewed over 2,000 times making it my most read blog so far. I have received many emails from readers stating that this blog made them rethink their Appliance model in preference to the TDI approach. This is a continuation to that blog so if you have not read the first one highly recommend you do as it lays the foundation to this blog. We have developed a leadership position in the North America market in SAP HANA-TDI build and deploy support and optimization to reduce TCO by around 40%. However if the customer wants to go with HP Compute and Net App storage and backup (TDI) then the mix could take slightly longer- but is very doable. We have faced many customers who had some very valid concerns with the TDI option with its current deliverables and support SLA's. Here is a brief on their concerns and available solutions.
Very Important Note: The traditional Appliance model comes into play with vendors that provide HANA appliances only with their components. So if you buy an HP, IBM, Dell, NEC or SGI HANA box the Compute, Storage, Network all come from the same supplier. So if a customer states they want their compute from one of the above vendors and their storage from another then the TDI business case is clear and comes into play. This may be due to the customer wanting to use best in world-class components, or because they have some unused components sitting in their data-center or because their datacenter has standards/partners that would be better served with the TDI option.
 Cisco Appliance: If you are buying everything net-new opt for the Cisco appliance, i.e. if you want a combination of Cisco + EMC or Cisco + NetApp.
 Cisco TDI: If you have a bunch of Cisco UCS servers, or EMC Storage or NetApp Storage sitting idle in your data center then take the TDI approach as that would be assembled and tested on site for certification. This is a net new question that has started flowing in just this week with more and more customers wanting to review the TDI option.
We currently see no evidence that any one company is the best-in-world-class vendor for all the SAP HANA components, i.e. as in a SAP Appliance. We also predict that other leading HW vendors will now rapidly reposition themselves towards providing options to build best in world-class components for your HANA TDI platform.
TDI is like a buying a readymade or a custom Pizza where you can choose your personalized toppings from a list of available options. The only difference here is that the toppings are available in your data center.
A HANA TDI platform thus allows customers to leverage and use their surplus hardware and/ or existing partners. For example an existing partnership with the world's top two Storage vendors EMC and/or NetApp can now be professionally leveraged to combine best-of-world-class components versus that of being stuck with sub-par components inside a black-box appliance, that the customer is disallowed from touching without a single vendor service contract.
However, while this TDI option did sit comfortably with IT owners, they had serious concerns in two critical areas.
[B] Risk mitigation for on-Premise HANA landscape.
[A] Time to Value: In a HANA Cloud option Time-to-Value is identical or close to the Appliance model. The cloud option is a level playing field for one simple reason that in a HEC model what the customer needs is  system uptime SLA's and  security assurances in compliance to all the industry requirements for the customer. What the HANA runs on is normally not an issue with a HANA Cloud solution provider, i.e. it makes little difference whether it runs on IBM HANA or Cisco HANA – it's in the cloud. Also the cloud providers normally have HANA platforms available for on demand consumption or subscriptions. The cloud model works to satisfy very rapid start-up needs for a HANA platform and can be delivered in under 10 minutes on AWS to 30 minutes with other HANA cloud partners.
The major difference comes in the On-Premise HANA Appliance. Most large companies so far prefer to keep their production systems On-Premises for various reasons. Here once again the customer has two options.
Option A.1 - Existing TDI combination: In this option the Customer needs to build a TDI design that has already been validated before by SAP. Just as an example the company uses EMC as their storage vendor and use Cisco for their network. They also have Cisco UCS servers available in their data centers, and now need to consider their HANA TDI build. This customer would logically choose EMC storage, with a Cisco UCS Compute as a TDI build. As we know this mix is already certified we can provide a more rapid TDI solution to the customer.
Option A.2- Custom TDI Combination: is when the customer wants to put together a custom TDI mix that has probably never been certified together before. For example the customer wants to go with HP Compute and Net App backup and storage along with cisco network- then the mix could take slightly longer- but is very doable.This is the only instance where the Time-to-Value clause would kick in for we will first need to build the TDI, then test it and then get it certified by SAP. Once certified we can then build the same mix as many times as the customer requires. The process can take around a month which could represent the time to value impact. But if planned and done ahead of time this bridge is just a matter of proactive planning and a sign of professional execution. Who are the prime customers for TDI - Data Centers with existing partners and components in their inventory.
B. Risk Messaging: One of the biggest risks as perceived by customers, communicated by most of the pure appliance vendors thus far has been that – with the TDI model you are on your own. This translates into something like this "If you buy a HANA appliance with us (appliance) then the support of that HANA appliance is standard and you're fully covered by a SAP certified appliance and our global support framework. i.e. you have a single throat to choke. However, should you choose a TDI build then you are on your own. You will need a separate support contract with SAP, another with the storage partner, another with your Compute partner and yet another with your network partner. In most of such cases when you have a problem fingers will point in all directions and the customer will be the loser'. That truly is a very big issue and extremely important and a very convincing reason to choose the HANA Appliance model despite its carrying a 'Black-Box' mentality and rather high support costs for any 'black-box' support.
The Big Risk BVA* Question: What if a HANA HW partner provided the exact same 'HANA Support Contract' whether you buy a HANA Appliance or a TDI, i.e. a single service contract, a single hand to shake, a single call to make whether you choose the HANA Appliance or the TDI decision.
The BIG TDI Risk Solution: The 2014 Gartner magic quadrant for integrated systems reported Cisco in the leader quadrant for Integrated Systems. Cisco has just finalized a single unified Support offering for SAP HANA customers- whether they buy an appliance or a SAP HANA TDI platform. With this proactive support option the final barrier towards choosing a TDI model is now mitigated.
Note: in this chart both VCE and Cisco-NetApp are Cisco Computes. This combination provides the best-of-best world class Servers from a global leader.
1. The datacenter is transforming towards enabling the converged infrastructure for a 'Single-pane-of-glass' management of best in class hardware offering. Today this is a $5B market with a 30% CAGR far outpacing the datacenter industry growth rate.
4. Cisco is able to offer end to end infrastructure support for HANA TDI because the design is based on a design architecture that is already supported. Competitors have to now commence building their TDI support from the ground up – Cisco's unified support model is already in place.
As SAP HANA technology and platform matures SAP is opening the platform build to more open hardware decisions. With SAP's release of the TDI support this is proof positive that SAP HANA has now matured far beyond what BWA could manage in 7 years of its lifetime.
1. First and foremost TDI is a sign of SAP HANA maturity where they are now comfortable with open ware components for a HANA build.
2. In August 2014 we predicted that TDI was going to be the way forward as SAP HANA matures and become more stable. Today TDI has become a reality as more and more proactive customers are choosing TDI for HANA. To see the strategic logic ask the basic question: How many customers out there are running their traditional SAP applications on black-box type appliances? Then why not?
3. The TDI decision today represents a no greater, or less, risk than an appliance model. However it does guarantee best in class components or components that your datacenter is comfortable with. TDI provides more power to the customer and their Data Center/Basis stakeholders.
4. TDI allows you to leverage your existing skills and assets to the maximum.
5. TDI allows customers and data-centers to mix and match best-in-world-class components and not get stuck to a black-box, contractual lock-in, and sub-par components at a premier rate.
6. TDI allows customers to get out of the choke-grasp of a single vendor monopoly and launches them on a path of open-ware selections based on world class providers.
7. Today we can confidently state that SAP HANA Appliances are on their way out and TDI is on the way in- so plan your HANA Infra with the future in mind.
8. SAP currently allows Virtualized Production SAP environments, and with SP 9 and promises of what SP 10 is going to bring the TDI dynamic models certainly seem to be the professional choice for cloud, data-centers and customers that have a trusted SAP basis support team.
Start thinking TDI and release yourself from any choke-hold that a HANA appliance may represent and plan to leverage the maturing SAP HANA platform ecosystem. Plan towards getting the highest quality at the lowest cost via professional selections based mainly on your current assets and existing partnerships - which represents your in-house knowledge and experience.

Grumman XF5F Skyrocket — прототип американського двомоторного палубного винищувача-перехоплювача. Розроблений у 1938 році компанією Grumman Corporation на замовлення ВМС США. Всього було побудовано один дослідний літак.

Це був низькокрилий моноплан з коротким фюзеляжем. Ніс фюзеляжу не висувався за передній край крила. Працює на двох двигунах Wright R-1820 потужністю 1200 к.с., з гвинтами, спрямованими на обертання в протилежних напрямках, щоб скасувати наслідки крутного моменту кожного двигуна, обіцяючи високу швидкість польоту та підйому. Основне шасі і хвостове колесо були повністю висувними. З озброєння передбачалося розмітити дві 20 мм гармати Мадсен.

Перше льотне випробування відбулося 1 квітня 1940 року. Воно виявило проблеми з охолодженням двигуна, але літак показав хороші льотні характеристики. Його відправили на переобладнання. Було перероблено систему охолодження, зменшено висоту купола кабіни, замість двох гармат втсановили чотири 12,7 мм кулемети тощо. До 15 липня 1941 року недоліки були усунені. У 1941 році літак проходив випробування у парах з Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, Bell P-39 Airacobra, Bell XFL Airabonita, Vought XF4U Corsair, Grumman F4F Wildcat та. Brewster F2A Buffalo.

Потрібні були додаткові зміни після подальших льотних випробувань, які не були завершені до 15 січня 1942 р. Тим часом компанія розпочала роботу над вдосконаленим двомоторним корабельним винищувачем XF7F-1. Прототип XF5F продовжував використовуватися в різних випробуваннях, хоча і страждав від різних проблем з шасі, поки його не викреслили зі списку діючих літаків після того, як він здійснив посадку на живіт 11 грудня 1944 року.

This seminar on Conversational Intelligence will transform your life!!!
Are you in a place of distrust, skepticism and resistance with your family?
Would you like to learn how to restore that trust leading to a happier, healthier family dynamic?
Do you sometimes wish you knew how to deal with an irate, know it all person who speaks in a derogatory, condescending manner and how to turn this from a negative to a positive situation?
Have you had a disagreement with a colleague at work and immediately feel angry and betrayed? Your body freezes up? You can't find the words to respond?
Do you often have a bitter argument with your spouse or child… and… wonder how it started and how to fix it?
In the blink of an eye you get 'triggered' causing you to go into 'protect' mode.
The reason for this is based on the chemistry in the brain where cortisol (the stress hormone) and adrenaline flood your brain creating fear and distrust and shutting down that part of the brain used for creating trust and feeling empathy.
So what started as a simple conversation ends with people withdrawing – or in a conflict situation with arguing, raised voices and people talking past each other and not with each other.
In a team, collaboration and teamwork declines.
In personal relationships tears, fear, frustration, heartbreak, resentment and anger is the outcome.
Finding out how to move back into trust after being 'triggered'.
This results in closer and more trusting relationships where each party feels safe to share their thoughts without fear of repercussion. Relationships improve, families rebuild and colleagues work better together.
Conversational Intelligence will teach you those conversational skills that will result in better relationships, greater communication and improved trust.
Better Relationships depend on Better Conversations. It all starts with your Conversations.
