Guy F. Cordon (April 24, 1890June 8, 1969) was an American author, politician and lawyer from the state of Oregon. A native of Texas, he served in the Army during World War I and later was the district attorney of Douglas County in Southern Oregon. A Republican, he was appointed and later won election to the United States Senate, serving in office from 1944 to 1955.

Early life
Guy Cordon was born in Cuero, DeWitt County, Texas,  on April 24, 1890. He moved with his family to Roseburg, Oregon, in 1896, and attended the public schools in that city. In 1909, at the age of 19, he became the deputy tax assessor of Douglas County, Oregon, serving until 1916.  In 1914, Cordon married Ana Allen, and they had two children. During World War I he enlisted in the Army and served in the artillery.

Political career
In 1917 he began serving as the county tax assessor, remaining until 1919. Cordon studied law and then passed the bar in 1920. From 1923 to 1935 he served as the district attorney of Douglas County and then practiced law in Roseburg. Cordon then began working as the lawyer for a group of 18 counties suing the federal government as an outgrowth of the Oregon land fraud scandal involving land grants for the Oregon and California Railroad.

In 1944, Cordon was appointed to a seat in the United States Senate from Oregon by Governor Earl Snell following the death of Senator Charles L. McNary. In a special election in November 1944, Cordon was elected to finish the term, receiving 57% of the vote against Democrat Willis Mahoney. Longtime Senator Wayne Morse was elected to his first term in the Senate in that election. Cordon was elected to a full six-year term in 1948, receiving 60% of the vote against Democrat Manley J. Wilson. In 1954, a bad year for Republicans, Cordon was defeated for re-election by Democrat Richard L. Neuberger by a margin of 50.2% to 49.8%.

While in the Senate, Cordon suggested a Senate rule (adopted as Rule XXVI part 12, known as the Cordon Rule) that Senate committee reports should indicate how provisions in a bill would change current law. Cordon served as chairman of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs from 1954 until his term expired in 1955. He visited Hawaii to conduct hearings on possible statehood for the then-territory (Hawaii was admitted in 1959). He was in the Senate from March 4, 1944, to January 3, 1955.

Later years
After leaving the Senate, he practiced law in Washington, D.C., from 1955 to 1962, when he retired. During the early 1950s, Frank Herbert, who would later become a famous science fiction author, was one of Cordon's speechwriters. Guy F. Cordon died in Washington, D.C. on June 8, 1969, at the age of 79 and was buried in Roseburg at the Roseburg Memorial Gardens.

Popular Front of India given free hand in Mumbai
Popular Front of India, a radical Islamic political organization with a long and controversial history from across India has been given a free hand by some municipal corporations especially BMC and Pune Municipality for handling dead bodies of Muslims during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
It is apparent that this is not a passing case of a faux pas by some junior government official but a deliberate, continuing, policy of the governments. Neither has the governments offered an official notification in this regard nor has it denied the policy.
This policy has proceeded without any change in spite of continued protests from opposition and civil society.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and Pune municipality have for close to four months actively involved the PFI in funeral rites off the Muslims who passed away from COVID-19. The district administration has specifically invited this group and has passed orders instructing the health department to contact this organization.
PFI is a controversial Muslim organization with much controversy in its history. Of late, it has come under investigation for involvement either direct or indirect in the recent Delhi riots.
In March, 2020, a Delhi court sent Popular Front of India (PFI) Delhi Chief Parvez Ahmed and Secretary Mohammad Iliyas to 7-day custody of the Special Cell of Delhi Police for their alleged role in instigating the people during the Delhi riots.
Two of its members of this radical Islamist organisation were also among 10 Keralites who joined the Islamic State (IS) in 2018.
The following reports maybe considered that list PFI involvement in last rites of Muslims:
April – 12 – 2020 – The district administration in Mumbai had conducted the training session for 35 to 40 PFI members at wanowrie ward office and gave directions to follow the protocol regarding burial of patients who have died due to COVID-19.
June – 2 – 2020 – Ex CM of Maharashtra Fadnavis had posted a notice issued by the Public Health Department on May 18 wherein it had directed all hospital in-charges to contact the local police, local medical officers and four coordinators of PFI in case of the death of a Muslim coronavirus patient.
June 4 2020 – PFI issues statement defending its role in the burials.
July 7 2020 – PFI training workers in Mangaluru for burying Muslims who passed away from corona.
July 17 2020 – PFI workers involved in burying the dead in Chamrajnagar – Karnataka.
This maybe contrasted with the cruel denial of access to the dead among the Hindus and Christians and finally who will survey the number of families whose members died due to Covid and the bodies handled by PFI members.

How Shall We Recover our Lost Intellectual Freedom
Sri Aurobindo says " How shall we recover our lost intellectual freedom? By reversing, for the time being, the process by which we lost it, by liberating our minds in all subjects from the thralldom to authority. The Anglicized ask us to abandon authority, revolt against superstition to have free minds. What they mean is that we should renounce authority of the Vedas for Max Muller, the Monism of Sankara for the Monism of Haeckel, the dogmatisms of Pandits for the dogmatisms of European thinkers, scientists and scholars. Let us break our chains in order to be free, in the name of truth, not in the name of Europe.
Our first necessity, if India is to survive and do her appointed work in the world, is that the youth of India should learn to think, – to think on all subjects, to think independently, fruitfully, going to the heart of things, not stopped by their surface, free of prejudgments, shearing sophism and prejudice asunder as with a sharp sword, smiting down obscurantism of all kinds as with the mace of Bhima…". In India alone there is self-contained, dormant, the energy and invincible spiritual individuality which can yet arise and break her own and the world's fetters

1709 DAN ST. CONTAINER HOUSE
Greetings from Texas! 🙂
Jerry Hartless came up with the idea when he was working in the Middle East in 2008. The Houston native had a commercial contract with the U.S.
military, installing internet service for 65,000 soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. As part of his operations, Hartless had miles of cable wire and hundreds of routers shipped from Asia to the Middle East in large shipping containers. The lack of housing in the desert was a problem for Hartless and his team. So, Hartless created his own man camp — complete with rooms, toilets, showers and kitchens — out of empty shipping containers.
When Hartless returned to Houston, he launched Build A Box Homes in 2013. The Houston-based home builder is one of the first home builders in the region to use shipping containers to build homes.
"I was doing this before it was cool," Hartless said. "We just wanted to do something different, something cool and green."
Build A Box Homes recently (2016) put its first shipping container home on the market. The home — 1709 Dan Street, a few blocks north of Interstate 10 in the Greater Fifth Ward — is made out of two 40-foot shipping containers sandwiched between a wooden front porch and back patio. The 1,280-square-foot home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a modern open kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and wood floors throughout.
Although the exterior showcases a blue-painted shipping container, the interior features traditional drywall and polyurethane spray insulation, making residents feel like they're in a regular single-family home, Hartless said.
The Build A Box Home, which hit the market in June 2016, was recently featured by Zillow and was listed for $189,995. And what looks like after a series of selling and putting back on the market, according to the selling history, it was recently taken off the market in January 2018 for $1225/month in rent.
Although a shipping container home costs about the same to build as a traditional wooden stick-frame home, Hartless says these metal homes are easier to maintain.
"You don't have to replace the roof or the siding," Hartless said. "And no termites."
Hartless is now working on plans to build a rental community of 42 duplexes in the Fifth Ward area. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments — designed by Houston architect Jeff Ryan — will span about 980 square feet on average and will likely rent for between $1,000 and $1,200 per month, Hartless said. A timeline for construction has not been determined yet.
"It's starting to become a trend right now," Hartless said of container homes and shops. "I think people have a lot of interest in them. It's cool, trendy and eco-friendly."
So what do you think? Would you live here? 🙂

ATĀBAKĀN-E FĀRS
ATĀBAKĀN-E FĀRS, princes of the Salghurid dynasty who ruled Fārs in the 6th/12th and 7th/13th centuries, initially with the status of atābak. They were descended from the chief of a Turkmen clan, the Salḡūr or Salūr, who had accompanied the Saljuq sultan Ṭoḡril on the migration into Khorasan in the mid 5th/11th century. One of his descendants, Sonqor b. Mawdūd, a nephew of the amir Būz Aba, seized power in Fārs in 543-44/1148 but remained tributary to the Saljuqs. His seat of government was at Shiraz. For a long time he was involved in conflicts with Saljuq princes, particularly Malekšāh b. Maḥmūd, and in his resistance to them he owed much to the help of the Saljuqs of the collateral line who ruled Kermān. He was also on friendly terms with the small principality of Lor-e Bozorg. His dealings with Qays (Kīš) island gave him a strong position in Persian Gulf affairs. Time after time, however, he had to contend with Saljuq inroads into Fārs.
Sonqor, who had surrounded himself with the usual array of a princely court, died at the town of Bayżā in 556/1161 and was succeeded by his brother Zangī b. Mawdūd. After defeating several rival members of the family, Zangī adopted the name Moẓaffar-al-dīn and acknowledged Saljuq suzerainty, though his allegiance to the sultans varied with political circumstances. He successfully overcame all opposing forces and repulsed an intervention by the Saljuqs of Kermān. Fārs suffered dreadful damage from all the fighting in these years. Zangī died at the castle of Oškovān near Eṣṭaḵr in 574/1178-79 (according to some sources, 570/1174-75 or 571/1175-76).
Power then passed to one of Zangī's five sons, by the name Tekla, who had already been designated as the successor. He had trouble with repeated attacks by the atābak Moḥammad Pahlavān of Azerbaijan in 574-75/1179-80 and a revolt by his cousin Qoṭb-al-dīn Ṭoḡrel b. Sonqor in 577/1182-83. The latter temporarily gained possession of parts of the province but was finally captured and executed; he had assumed the titles of king and "heir to the empire of Solomon" (wāreṯ-e molk-e Solaymān, see A. S. Melikian-Chirvani, "Le royaume de Salomon. Les inscriptions persanes des sites Achéménides," Le Monde Iranien et l'Islam, Geneva and Paris, 1971, pp. 1-41). (According to some sources, these events took place at the start of Saʿd I's reign.) There was also some fighting with the Oḡuz for control of Kermān after the collapse of the local Saljuq sultanate in 581-82/1186. The land and people of Fārs again suffered much damage. Tekla died after a reign of some twenty years in 594/1197-98. He is praised in the sources for his just rule, but such praises are often conventional and do not necessarily reflect the truth.
After Tekla's death, his cousin Ṭoḡrel b. Sonqor (again?) fought for the succession, the other claimant and, eventually, winner being Tekla's younger brother Moẓaffar-al-dīn Abū Šoǰāʿ Saʿd I b. Zangī b. Mawdūd. While this contest was going on, an epidemic plague ravaged the country. Saʿd proceeded to enlarge his domain of Fārs by conquering part of Kermān province, including Sīrǰān. With the help of his vizier Ḵᵛāǰa ʿAmīd-al-dīn Abū Naṣr Asʿad Abzarī he restored some prosperity to Fārs after the war devastation of the preceding years. Tradition affirms that he supported the poet Saʿdī (d. 691/1192) and that the latter chose his pen-name for this reason, though the evidence rather indicates that Saʿdī's patron was Saʿd II (see below). Saʿd I's troops occupied Isfahan for a short time in 600/1203-04, but during his absence he temporarily lost his capital Shiraz to the atābak Uzbek b. Pahlavān of Azerbaijan and had to hasten home. Later he was occupied for many years in struggles for control of Kermān, warring against local forces, against the Oḡuz, and finally (in 602/1206-605/1209) against the Sultan Ḵᵛārazmšāh Moḥammad II, whose power was on the rise at this time. In 609/1213 the Ḵᵛārazmšāh succeeded in annexing Kermān. In 614/1217-18, when the Ḵᵛārazmšāh was in conflict with the caliph al-Nāṣer, Saʿd I marched northward and occupied Ray, Qazvīn, and Semnān, but was defeated in a battle with Khwarazmian troops near Ray and taken prisoner. He remained in captivity at Hamadān until he undertook to cede the district around Eṣṭaḵr and Oškovān to Moḥammad II and pay one third of the revenue of his domain as tribute. He also had to deliver his eldest son as a hostage, but the latter was released when marriage ties between the two families were arranged. While these events were in progress, Saʿd's son Abū Bakr attempted to seize power at Shiraz but was defeated by local troops and imprisoned. Moḥammad II's subsequent embroilment with the Mongols gave Saʿd I the chance to cast off Khwarazmian suzerainty. Saʿd had to battle against Moḥammad II's son Ḡīāṯ-al-dīn in 620/1223-24, but fared better in the following year when Ḡīāṯ-al-dīn clashed with his brother Jalāl-al-dīn Mangūbardī (Mengüberdi), who had by then returned from India. Jalāl-al-dīn married Saʿd's daughter and forced his brother to cede to him a large piece of territory, including Isfahan, and assigned them to his father-in-law; at the same time Saʿd recognized Jalāl-al-dīn as his overlord. Saʿd I died on 12 Ḏu'l-qaʿda 623/5 November 1226 (more probably than in 628/1230-31 as stated in some accounts).
He was succeed by his son Abū Bakr b. Saʿd b. Zangī, who on account of an attempted revolt (see above) had been kept in prison for a long time. With prudent regard for the might of the Mongols, Abū Bakr sent his brother (or nephew?) Tahamtan to the Great Khan Ögedei (Ogdāy, Oktāy) in token of his submission. He received the title Qutluḡ Khan and had to admit into his territory a resident Mongol overseer (šeḥna), who did not in fact pay much heed to the workings of the government. Fārs now enjoyed a quite long spell of calm and was able to make good progress, both politically and economically. Abū Bakr, like his father and his successors, surrounded himself with scholars and artists (list in Merçil, Fars Atabegleri, pp. 135-43), though none except the poet Saʿdī were of more than local importance. The atābak himself pursued scholarly interests. He was well served by the viziers Moḡreb-al-dīn Mofāḵer Masʿūd and Amīr Faḵr-al-dīn Abū Bakr, the chief qāżī Jamāl-al-dīn Abū Bakr Meṣrī, and a carefully picked staff of officials. Several mosques and madrasas were built in his reign, and remains of some of them survive today (list in Merçil, op. cit., pp. 135-39; also idem, Die Bautätigkeit der Salguridenzeit nach historischen Quellen, Fifth International Congress of Turkish Arts, ed. G. Fehér, Budapest, 1978, pp. 599-604). Strict financial discipline made it possible to cope with the tribute payments to the Mongols. Attempts were made to reform the land tenure usages but in the main had to be abandoned. The army was enlarged and put to good use in the suppression of a prince's revolt and in an expedition in 627/1230 which extended the atābak's sway to the island of Qays, thereby facilitating trade with India and bringing new tax and customs revenues to the government. A further advance to the Bahrain islands, which then belonged to the caliphate, led to protracted fighting with the local Arabs; this began in Ḏu'l-ḥeǰǰa, 633/August, 1236 and ended in 654/1256-57 with a concession of far-reaching autonomy and a division of authority between certain Arab amirs.
Meanwhile the Il-khan Hülegü (Hūlāgū) had taken steps since 653-54/1256 to assert his authority throughout Iran. Abū Bakr offered allegiance and sent his son Saʿd as a hostage to the Mongol court, then at Baghdad. Before Saʿd's return, Abū Bakr died on 5 Jomādā II 658/18 May 1260. With his death the bright days of the atābaks of Fārs were over. His still absent son succeeded him as Saʿd II but died after a reign of only eighteen days before reaching Shiraz. The local mint managed to produce a few coins bearing Saʿd II's name.
The next successor was Saʿd's young son Moḥammad I, who was under the guardianship of his mother Terken (Torkān) Ḵātūn, a princess of Yazd. She chose a vizier named Neẓām-al-dīn Abū Bakr. Unrestrained oppression and peculation now opened the way to ruin. Moḥammad I died after a reign of two and a half years on 6 Moḥarram 661/20 November 1262. Terken Ḵātūn then procured the succession of Moḥammad II b. Salḡūr b. Saʿd (I). Despite a record of valor as a warrior on the side of the Mongols, he spent too much of his time as a ruler in revelry. Before long, Terken Ḵātūn decided to get rid of him, even though he had married her daughter; in Ramażān, 661/July, 1263 she arranged his departure for a stay at the Mongol court. A secret approach of Terken Ḵātūn to the Mamlūk sultan Baybars I at this time evidently had no useful result.
Moḥammad II's brother and successor Salǰūqšāh b. Salḡūr proceeded to marry Terken Ḵātūn, but soon incurred the displeasure of his wife and the amirs. He therefore had Terken Ḵātūn murdered at a banquet. Next he foolishly sanctioned an attack on the Mongol delegation. The consequences were that Moḥammad II met an early death at the Mongol court and a force of Hūlāgū's troops set out for Shiraz, Salǰūqšāh escaped and entrenched himself at Kāzerūn, but finally had to surrender and was excecuted outside that town on 12 Ṣafar 663/4 December 1264.
The throne of Fārs was then given to the princess Ābeš Ḵātūn, a daughter of Saʿd II, she and her sister being the only members of the Salghurid family left alive. She was only a child, and in 671/1272 she was married to Möngke Temür (Mongū Teymūr), a brother of the Il-khan Abāqā. The Mongols were thus in position to exert direct influence. Disorders at Shiraz gave them a pretext to imprison her in or around 683/1284. She died on 12 Ḏu'l-qaʿda 685/31 December 1286. The deposition of Ābeš marked the end of the dynasty of the Salghurid atābaks of Fārs. The province was then placed under direct Mongol rule.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon, Trevor Story…
Rockies' Charlie Blackmon, Trevor Story "a little lost" without opening day
Colorado was scheduled to play at San Diego Thursday
Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon hits a single during the third inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks during Colorado's 12-2 win in its home opener Friday at Coors Field.
By Patrick Saunders |
Rockies all-stars Charlie Blackmon and Trevor Story own two of the greatest opening-day performances in major-league history. So imagine how they felt Thursday when they didn't get to play baseball.
"I feel kind of lost," Blackmon said.
"It's bizarre," Story said.
The Rockies were scheduled to play at San Diego's Petco Park but the coronavirus pandemic has everyone's normal lives in limbo. While both players stressed how important it is to follow the public guidelines put in place to combat the virus, they nonetheless missed the goosebumps that come with the season's first game.
"I have never watched so much news in life," Blackmon said. "I'm glued to the TV and radio and I'm trying to keep up with the situation. That's important.
"But this is kind of like a rain delay and you just aren't sure what to do. I'm usually very scheduled and have a specific timeline of events in my day. Now I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants. Just not knowing when we are going to start playing again is tough."
When the Rockies' Salt River Fields spring training complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., was shut down March 18, Blackmon decided to drive to Denver rather than possibly exposing himself to the virus by flying to his home in Georgia. He's been working out daily, trying to maintain an edge, but it's a strange new world.
Story, back home in his native Texas, has become even more aware of how blessed he is to play baseball for a living.
"Baseball is being missed very, very badly, but at the same time, it does give you a new appreciation of what we get to do for a living," he said. "But for a lot of us, it's much more than that. It's our passion and it's our first love. Baseball is a part of me, so when you are missing games it feels really weird."
That both Story and Blackmon have been magicians on opening day made Thursday even more wistful for them.
Story has started in four openers and hit three home runs — two off Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke in Story's big-league debut in 2016, and another off the Marlins' Jose Urena last season at Miami.
The 2016 game was historic. Story hit a three-run, opposite-field home run off Greinke in the third inning of Colorado's 10-5 win at Chase Field. In his next at-bat, Story took Greinke deep again to become the first player in big-league history to hit two homers while making his debut on opening day.
"I remember every bit of that game," Story said. "I was super nervous and I didn't really have control of my body in that first at-bat. I actually toe-tapped and I don't even toe-tap. I was almost too ready."
Story grounded out in his first at-bat before hitting home runs in his next two.
"After that first AB, I was much more in control of my body, thoughts and emotions," he said. "Those emotions are the toughest part of your debut."
In the Rockies' 2014 home-opening, 12-2 win over Arizona at Coors Field, Blackmon became the first big-league player to go 6-for-6 with a homer and three doubles on an opening day. More important for Blackmon, it solidified his place as a starting outfielder.
"That's about as much fun as you can have playing baseball," Blackmon said. "It seemed like I could do no wrong that day, which is extremely rare for the game of baseball. It just seemed like I knew I was going to get a hit, whether it was a single or a double."
Blackmon had made the 25-man roster coming out of spring training but was unsure of his place on the team.
"We had six outfielders in the mix right then and I knew we weren't going to keep six outfielders," he recalled. "I didn't want to be sixth on the depth chart."
Instead, he became a first-time all-star.

Mohamed Adama Sarr (* 23. Dezember 1983 in Dakar) ist ein ehemaliger senegalesischer Fußballspieler.

Verein
Sarr begann seine Profikarriere in der Jugendmannschaft des FBC Treviso, wo er 2000 in die erste Mannschaft geholt wurde. Bereits in seiner ersten Saison stieg der Verein aus der Serie B ab. Daraufhin wurde der Senegalese vom AC Mailand verpflichtet. Er kam in der Saison 2001/02 zu einem Einsatz. Milan beendete die Meisterschaft auf dem vierten Platz der Serie A.

2002 wurde er von den Rossoneri an Galatasaray Istanbul in die Türkei verliehen. Dort absolvierte er sieben Meisterschaftsspiele und erzielte einen Treffer, zudem kam Sarr auf drei Einsätze in der UEFA Champions League und erzielte im Gruppenspiel gegen Lokomotive Moskau ein Tor. Im Januar 2003 wurde an den AC Ancona verliehen, dort konnte er den Aufstieg in die höchste italienische Spielklasse feiern.

Bereits Anfang der Saison 2003/04 kam er zu Atalanta Bergamo, wiederum im Zuge eines Leihvertrages. Zum zweiten Mal schaffte er mit einem Verein den Aufstieg in die Serie A. 2004/05 wurde er an den FC Vittoria verliehen.

2005 ging es endgültig weg aus den Leihverträgen und der Innenverteidiger wechselte nach Belgien zu Standard Lüttich. In seiner ersten Saison bei Les Rouches wurde der Verein Vizemeister. In der darauffolgenden Saison kam die Mannschaft ins Pokalfinale und wurde Dritter. Der große Coup kam 2007/08, als Lüttich die Meisterschaft und den Supercup gewann. 2008/09 konnten diese Erfolge wiederholt werden. 2009/10 wurde der Verein in der Meisterschaft Achter und in den Gruppenspielen zur Europa League nur Zweiter der Gruppe B, konnte aber in der Europa League das Viertelfinale erreichen. Sarr kam in dieser Europapokalsaison auf zehn Einsätze (sechs in der UEFA Champions League und vier in der Europa League).

Es folgten weitere Stationen bei Hércules Alicante, KRC Genk und zuletzt bei OFI Kreta. Hier beendete der Innenverteidiger 2013 seine aktive Karriere.

Nationalmannschaft
Für den Senegal spielte er insgesamt sechzehn Mal zwischen 2001 und 2010, ein Tor konnte er dabei nicht erzielen.

Erfolge
 Aufstieg in die Serie A 2003, 2004
 Belgischer Meister 2008, 2009
 Belgischer Superpokalsieger 2008, 2009

Most of us have worked our entire adult lives to earn and save money. As we age we must take into consideration the unknown and be proactive, especially when it comes to our financial, and other business matters. Below are 3 tips to ensure your business and financial matters will be taken care of even if you, for whatever reason, are no longer able to do so independently.
Name a Durable Power of Attorney: This should be someone who you trust immensely as they will be making decisions for you regarding your financial and business matters. An Elder Law Attorney can assist you in creating this legal document. For it to be legal, it must be filed with the county in which you live.
A second person named on your bank account: While the Power of Attorney is an important resource to have while you are living, and gives your named POA the ability to act on your behalf, it is null and void at death. Thus, if you unfortunately pass away, your accounts, in which you are the only named person, will freeze and put a delay on anyone handling any type of business on your behalf.

One-dimensional nanostructured design of Li1+x(Mn1/3Ni1/3Fe1/3)O2 as a dual cathode for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries
Potency of the cathode material is an important feature for upgrading lithium-ion/sodium-ion battery technology for next-generation applications such as in electrical grids and advanced electric vehicles. Various limitations related to electrochemical and socio-economic issues of these batteries are current research challenges. Amongst the various possible solutions to address such issues, developing nanostructured cathode materials, such as one-dimensional nanostructures, by versatile and easily scaled-up processes could be one of the options. Consequently, in the present study, Li1+x(Mn1/3Ni1/3Fe1/3)O2 one-dimensional nanofibers have been fabricated via a simple and low-cost electrospinning technique and used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries, which showed an improved initial reversible capacity (∼109 mA h g-1) and cyclic stability at the 0.1 C rate when compared to the performance of Li1+x(Mn1/3Ni1/3Fe1/3)O2 nanoparticles. On the other hand, the feasibility of this low-cost and eco-friendly material was also tested in sodium-ion batteries, and the same trend is observed. The enhanced electrochemical and structural features in both systems could be ascribed to the exceptional features of one-dimensional nanofibers such as efficient electron transport, facile strain relaxation, and short Li+/Na+ diffusion pathways.

Jazan Development Company SJSC operates in the Animal aquaculture sector. In addition to historical fundamental analyses, the complete report available to purchase compares Jazan Development Company SJSC with three other fisheries and seafood processors in Middle East: International Holding Company PJSC of United Arab Emirates (2018 sales of 570.24 million Arab Emirates Dirhams [US$155.25 million] of which 65% was Fish Farming, Trading & Processing), Saudi Fisheries Company (21.42 million Saudi Riyals [US$5.71 million] of which 88% was Retail Sales), and Oman Fisheries Company SAOG which is based in Oman (23.76 million Omani Rials [US$61.71 million] of which 100% was Process &Sale of Fish).
Sales Analysis. Jazan Development Company SJSC reported sales of 68.52 million Saudi Riyals (US$18.27 million) for the year ending December of 2018. This represents a decrease of 14.6% versus 2017, when the company's sales were 80.24 million Saudi Riyals. Contributing to the drop in overall sales was the 30.6% decline in Agriculture, from 39.63 million Saudi Riyals to 27.49 million Saudi Riyals. There were also decreases in sales in Real Estate (down 17.3% to 14.73 million Saudi Riyals) . However, these declines were partially offset by the increase in sales of Manufacturing (Aqua) (up 15.3% to 26.31 million Saudi Riyals) .

No climate impact: EPA Chief says the 'benefit' of climate regs is to show 'domestic leadership'
Questioned by Congressman McKinley if EPA's climate regulations will have any measurable impact on the Earth's climate, Administrator Gina McCarthy won't say but responds, "[W]e see it as having enormous benefit in showing sort of domestic leadership as well as garnering support around the country for the agreement we reached in Paris."
ADMINISTRATOR GINA MCCARTHY: "I think sir we see it as having had enormous benefit in showing sort of domestic leadership as well as garnering support around the country for the agreement we reached in Paris."
House Energy and Commerce Committee
Daily Caller: EPA Chief: Climate Regs Meant To Show 'Leadership', Not Fight Global Warming – Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy admitted her agency's signature regulation aimed at tackling global warming was meant to show "leadership" rather than actually curb projected warming. – McCarthy admitted as much after being questioned by West Virginia Republican Rep. David McKinley, who pressed the EPA chief on why the Obama administration was moving forward with economically-damaging regulations that do nothing for the environment.
"I don't understand," McKinley said in a Tuesday hearing. "If it doesn't have an impact on climate change around the world, why are we subjecting our hard working taxpayers and men and women in the coal fields to something that has no benefit?"
"We see it as having had enormous benefit in showing sort of domestic leadership as well as garnering support around the country for the agreement we reached in Paris," McCarthy responded.
McKinley was referring to EPA's so-called Clean Power Plan, which forces states to cut carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. The CPP is expected to double the amount of coal plant closings in the coming years, and even EPA admits it won't have a measurable impact on projected global warming.

Its not symbolism when they are profiteering. If it where only symbolism we'd wouldn't have anything to worry about. There is an agenda here, and the large majority of us are not part of it. No body does anything for symbolism, but if big money is involved, then lies beget laws that enable crooks to profit.
I only wish it was symbolism; it is really nefarious skulduggery by the dishonest. And that's the real problem I suppose. By calling it something so benign it takes responsibility off the people shoulders so that they have don't have to feel compelled to do something, against a very powerful adversity. If you call it what it really is, that is, nefarious skulduggery by dishonest people then people feel a duty to do something. But because people fear the power of government, people use worlds like "symbolism".
It really is true what they say about revolutions. Things have to get so damn bad, like most people starving to such an extent that they are resorted to eating grass, before people start calling things for what they really are; people need to be pushed to such a deplorable point before they are no longer fearful of the deadly consequences that could arise.
So let it be. That is why Humans never learn. Call it symbolism, say, " I didn't know". Use what ever excuse you like. This mess, and the many others that are occurring, will continue, until people have had enough. So history will repeat again; as it always does.
We Humans are very selfish.
It is so sad 🙁

Will Haas March 23, 2016 At 6:47 PM
The reality is that the climate change we have been experiencing is caused by the sun and the oceans and there is no real evidence that CO2 has any effect on climate. There is no such evidence in the paleoclimate record. The AGW conjecture is based on a hypothetical radiant greenhouse effect. A real greenhouse does not stay warm because of the action of so called greenhouse gases. A real greenhouse stays warm because the glass limits cooling by convection. It is a convective greenhouse effect. So too on Earth. The surface of the Earth is on average 33 degrees warmer than it would be without an atmosphere because gravity limits cooling by convection. It is a convective greenhouse effect and as derived from first principles it accounts for all 33 degrees C. There is no room for an additional radiant greenhouse effect. The hypothetical radiant greenhouse effect caused by the LWIR absorption properties of so called greenhouse gases does not exist and so the AGW conjecture is invalid. If CO2 really affected climate then one would expect that the increase in CO2 over the past 30 years would cause an increase in the natural lapse rate in the troposphere but that has not happened. There are many good reasons to be conserving on the use of fossil fuels but climate change is not one of them.

In other words… Political ideology trumps both the Economic consequences and the Environmental prerogatives!…
This is about all one can expect from Progressives.
Frederick Colbourne March 24, 2016 At 12:16 AM
Congress clearly specified that the intent of Section 117(d) of the Clean Air Act is to promote public health and welfare through direct connection between reduction of a pollutant and specific benefits to the public.
The Administrator is bound by the entire Clean Air Act including the intent of Congress that definitions and regulations must be justified by reference to public health and welfare. In this the Administrator has failed.
Demonstration of leadership does not conform to the purpose of the section or the intent of Congress. In defining CO2 as a pollutant the Administrator has done so for a purpose that places the definition and the regulations outside the powers conferred by Congress.
The Clean Air Act does not authorize the Administrator to define a substance as a pollutant and to regulate its emission for the purpose of demonstrating leadership.
And atmospheric CO2 doesn't even qualify as a pollutant.
Frederick Colbourne March 24, 2016 At 9:44 PM
In the physical world, CO2 is not a pollutant. But in the legal world, Congress delegated power to the Administrator to define any substance as a pollutant and to regulate its emissions. The courts have upheld this.
But there are a few legal issues. First, in using the delegated power, the Administrator must take account of legislative intent: health and welfare of the public. The causal connection between health and welfare and the pollutant must be close enough that reduction in the pollutant generates specific health and welfare benefits.
Second, the Administrator is on weak ground in claiming that Congress intended the Clean Air Act to be used to manage global temperature and precipitation. The Administrator has now admitted that the purpose is not to control climate but to demonstrate leadership in implementing an international agreement to reduce CO2. The causal link between the proposed EPA rule and 'health and welfare' has become incredible.
Third, Congress intended the target beneficiaries to be primarily Americans. It would be reasonable to include America's neighbors in support of the comity of nations. However, the proposed rule includes most of the world's population, of which the US accounts for only about 5%. The proposed rule therefore extends the scope of health and welfare benefits far beyond what Congress intended and encroaches upon purposes and activities that Congress has clearly refused to authorize, namely support of global climate control.
These issues are not physical issues about the nature of CO2 or its relation to climate or about jobs. The main issue is about how America is to be governed.
Do Americans want an elected King-Emperor who makes the laws or do they want to continue following a Constitution that provides for separation of powers?
4TimesAYear March 25, 2016 At 1:26 AM
Oh, absolutely they are on weak ground – and in more than one way.
There is an overwhelming lack of evidence to show that atmospheric CO2 is a threat to health and welfare of the people.
They can't even prove that our emissions (which are miniscule compared to what nature emits) are causing climate change. As one scientist says, "Before you can prove that our emissions are causing climate change, you must first prove that natural emissions are not ." (Not an exact quote, but close enough) 🙂

Showing domestic leadership is not your mandate, McKinley. The EPA's mandate is the following (taken from their website):
The mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment.
EPA's purpose is to ensure that:
-all Americans are protected from significant risks to human health and the environment where they live, learn and work;
-national efforts to reduce environmental risk are based on the best available scientific information;
-federal laws protecting human health and the environment are enforced fairly and effectively;
-environmental protection is an integral consideration in U.S.
policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth,
energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade,
and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental
policy;
–all parts of society — communities, individuals, businesses, and
state, local and tribal governments — have access to accurate
information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human
health and environmental risks;
-environmental protection contributes to making our communities and
ecosystems diverse, sustainable and economically productive; and
-the United States plays a leadership role in working with other nations to protect the global environment.
McKinley, where do you get the notion you are responsible for domestic leadership? Note the bold parts (my emphasis). McKinley you have failed in your responsibilities.
What is happening is just communistic enforcement of ideologies that have nothing to do with reason, science, or facts. But have everything to do with selfish megalomaniacs that are opposed to democracy and the scientific method.
McKinley you are a disgusting piece of pathetic humanity.
Afterthought:
It is in circumstances like these with McKinley and the EPA that their should be an independent body (outside the purview of government, and is non-political) that should have the power to enforce government offices to follow their mandates and do their duties.
Of course, there is always the chance, in fact likelihood, that it too would become politicized. But this outside body, should be elected directly by The People, which the present US government is not, and that it should be directly answerable to The People. No doubt the present status quo would fight tooth and nail for such an overseeing body not to be established. In fact that is the basis of a good name for such an institution, the Office of Government Overseeing, where people and not companies can place their grievances for governmental abuse of power. This Office can be a counterweight to government injustice. There has to be some sort of judicial system that enforces any decisions made by this Office.
Governments have become too strong and too unjust. We need something that will force governments to obey their mandates.
Just tossing the idea out there for debate.

Fail to comprehend how these people are getting away with this stuff. They are literally forcing economic suicide on a nation without any rationale behind it whatsoever. Back in the UK in the 1950's there was a serious push to stop people from burning coal for domestic heating but there was a reason for that. The reason was that in a temperature inversion the resulting smogs were dropping people like flies and if something wasn't done then everyone would be dead. Now in the US in 2016 "mumble, mumble, leadership" is apparently good enough reason to trash the economy.
Hill411 March 24, 2016 At 9:11 PM
I guess that 'sort of leadership' is synonymous with leading from behind. Whenever I hear o'liar or his sycophants talk about his 'leading from behind' leadership qualities I am reminded of a pack of dogs that walks around in a circle. Each dog has his nose pressed to the behind of the dog in front. The EPA is now added to the circle of dogs. They will never get anywhere BUT at least each dog knows there is an a-hole in front.

They knew it was the best defense against malaria but didn't give a d..n about the millions of Africans and Asians who would die solely because they wanted to flex their muscles. Short of being Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, or Mao is there any way to be more evil?

If you suffer from gum disease, scaling and planing can remove bacteria from your teeth and gums, reducing inflammation and ending your discomfort. At Healthy Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer advanced ultrasonic deep cleaning. By using sound waves to remove plaque and bacteria, Dr. Vlachakis can eliminate the discomfort associated with traditional scaling and planing. With this advanced treatment, improving your oral health has never been easier.
Gum disease is a common condition, affecting over half of all American adults. When bacteria linger in your mouth, plaque and tartar will form on your teeth. In turn, this accumulation can irritate and inflame your sensitive gum tissue. The early stage of gum disease, called gingivitis, can easily be treated with a thorough dental cleaning. However, if gingivitis goes untreated, it will eventually progress to full gum disease, or periodontitis. As bacteria spread to your gums, they will form pockets in the tissue, leading to receding gums, tooth loss, and jawbone degeneration.
Scaling and planing is one of the most effective and widely used treatments for periodontitis. After numbing your gums, Dr. Vlachakis will remove the plaque and tartar from your teeth. She will also eliminate the pockets of bacteria from your gums and even out rough patches on your dental roots where bacteria can easily accumulate. She may place an antibacterial solution in the periodontal pockets for more effective treatment. Dr. Vlachakis typically performs deep cleaning in one to four visits. With proper maintenance of your teeth and gums, you could enjoy lifelong freedom from periodontal disease.
Traditionally, dentists performed scaling and planing using handheld surgical implements. Today, Dr. Vlachakis uses a small ultrasonic wand, producing sound waves to break up tartar and bacteria. Ultrasonic deep cleaning is more comfortable and involves a shorter recovery time than manual scaling and planing. It is also more precise, meaning that your healthy gum tissue will be unaffected by the procedure.
Do You Need Ultrasonic Scaling?
If you exhibit signs of gingivitis, then Dr. Vlachakis may be able to help you stop gum disease with ultrasonic scaling and root planing. To find out if you need ultrasonic scaling, schedule an examination by calling Healthy Smiles Family Dentistry today at (281) 974-4494.

The political figure, government employee, academic, and diplomat Condoleezza Rice is an American. Between 2001 to 2005, Condoleezza worked for President George W. Bush as the nation's national security adviser. And after that she was the country's secretary of state for 4 years.
She occupies both positions for the first time among African-American females, which is one of her many accomplishments. After her appointment was complete, Rice returned to her previous position of educating students at Stanford University, where she ultimately become supervisor of the Hoover Institution.
Curious about Condoleezza Rice net worth, early life, and political career? Seems like we have all the answers. Read on!
Condoleezza Rice's Early Life – Get To Know All About Her Life!
Source – Radar online
John, a preacher and scholar supervisor, and Angelena, a high school tutor, raised Condoleezza Rice. She was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1954. Before moving to the Stillman College campus in Tuscaloosa, where her dad worked, Rice was raised in Birmingham's Titusville neighborhood.
Rice took admission to the all-girls Catholic school St. Mary's Academy in 1967 after the family relocated to Denver, Colorado. She studied at the University of Denver after finishing high school at the age of 16, where she earned a BA in political science and graduated at a very young age. She got a Master's degree in the same discipline from the University of Notre Dame in 1975.
In 1977, during Carter's presidency, she got employed in the State Department as a trainee. She spent 1979 studying Russian at Moscow State University and working as an apprentice in California for the RAND Corporation.
Later, in 1981, she got a Ph.D. from the University of Denver in political science. She started her long-term relationship with Stanford during that period as a fellow at the university's Arms Control and Disarmament Program.
At Stanford University, Rice taught political science as an assistant professor from 1981 to 1987 and as an associate professor from 1987 to 1993. She lectured about the Soviet Union throughout this time. Former National Security Advisor for the Gerald Ford administration Brent Scowcroft became interested in her work.
Rice joined the National Security Council as Scowcroft's go-to expert on the Soviet Union when he returned to the White House to work for the newly elected George H.W. Bush. She was in charge of developing policies encouraging German reunification during her tenure as director of Soviet and East European Affairs, which spanned from 1989 to 1991. Rice became Stanford University's Provost in 1993, becoming the institution's first female and the first African-American to hold that role.

Stanford University employed her as an associate professor of political science (1981–1987). In 1987, she received a promotion to associate professor, which she retained until 1993. She was an expert on the Soviet Union and provided lectures on the topic at the Berkeley-Stanford joint program in the middle of the 1980s under the direction of UC Berkeley professor George W. Breslauer.
She worked as the administrator of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's special subordinate in 1986 when she was a Council on Foreign Relations fellow in international affairs. When Donald Kennedy left his position as president of Stanford in 1992, Rice offered to join the committee charged with finding his successor. Gerhard Casper, the University of Chicago provost, was finally selected by the committee.
Casper chose Rice as Stanford's administrator after meeting her during this hunt, the institution's main financial and academic official, in 1993. She was also given tenure and became a full-time lecturer.
In a goodbye meeting conducted at the beginning of December 2008, Rice said she will return to Stanford and the Hoover Institution, but she did not elaborate on her position beyond writing and lecturing. In an interview with the Stanford Report in January 2009, Rice commented on his plans to return to school. On March 1, 2009, she returned to Stanford as a professor of political science and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
The Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution, Denning Professor in Global Business and the Economy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Professor of Political Science at Stanford University are the recent designations Condoleezza Rice retains. Being a professor at Stanford has added high value to Condoleezza Rice net worth.

In this picture, you can see how Proslide integrated the start of Disco H2O on the existing tower of The Surge, a Proslide Mammoth. When Disco H2O opened, to simplify loading, the round family rafts in use on the Surge were replaced with CLOVERleaf rafts which is the new slide was going to use.

Notice the custom umbrella supports due to the raft return path. In order to connect the exit pool of Disco H2O to the existing conveyor lift, a long channel was constructed and in order to give it space, the bottom supports were designed to allow the necessary clearances.

The 2004 prototype (Stormrider at Golfland-Sunsplash) and the 2005 Disco H2O (Wet 'n Wild in Orlando, FL) has a shorter run to the bowl due to the tight space requirements at those parks. Super Aqua Club installed Typhon near their lake in 2007 and went with a zero entry exit pool at the end. Typhon start with a few turns in the dark before an incredibly steep drop provides a brief moment of weightlessness and that gives the raft a huge boost of speed for the bowl. This provided the blueprint for future installation as many parks saw the potential in doubling the thrills of their new slide.
Typhon zero entry pool and waiting line to the left. You can see the Bowl in the background and line management at Super Aqua Club is extremely efficient and the best in the world for multi raft slides. The four passenger rafts have to be filled up completely and guests line up at the bottom. The number of rafts has been calculated that guests only have a minimal 2-3 rafts wait at the top of the tower so it is a lot more efficient and comfortable for the guests. Capacity is incredible and near what Proslide rate for the slide in an ideal world.
The sides of the pool were beautifully sculpted to appear to be made out of handlaid stones.

In 2007 as well, Holiday World opened Bakuli, a Behemoth Bowl 60.
Like Typhon, it features a longer run to the Bowl, but the drop is not as steep as Typhon.
The first BehemothBOWL in Asia opened in 2008 at Chimelong Water Park (Guangzhou, China) in their first expansion and this was quickly followed by another at Gyeongju World (South Korea) brand new water park, California Beach. Forrec Ltd. from Canada was hired by the park to redevelop the old water park and Forrec did an incredible job designing an efficient water park where all the park main slides are located on the same tower. A BehemothBOWL 60 was selected by Forrec to go on the tower and Proslide successfully intertwined it with the rest of their attractions.

In this photo shot from the park Ferris Wheel, you can see the slide tower on the right and the Behemoth Bowl is yellow and green.
At the request of Six Flags in 2008, Proslide came up with the Bullet Bowl, a smaller Bowl attraction that require less space and less height to start the experience. This attraction proved to be perfect for many smaller parks or parks that have space concerns since they don't require a very long run to the bowl. They can be easily combined with another Bullet Bowl or another attraction. Since then, the attraction has been renamed the CannonBOWL 30, after the diameter of the bowl.
The first two installations were at the then Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom (Louisville, KY) and Great Escape (Queensbury, NY). In both cases, they were extremely compact and gave them a much needed family friendly thrill attraction. The name given to both attractions was "The Mega Wedgie".
Over at Great Escape, the placement was interesting since it recycled a very old feature of the park. Prior to 1994, the area occupied by the Comet roller coaster and Splashwater Kingdom water parks was the park campground. Once the decision to build the Comet was settled on, the campground was closed and the existing registration lobby preserved as well as the campground original pool. It was a classic tiled in-ground pool and when Splashwater Kingdom opened in 1995, it was reopened to provide extra capacity to the water park. The park at that time only had five slides, a children's playground and the Capt'n Hook's Adventure River, a river attraction with a wave machine to make it unique at the time. So, even having that extra pool helped a lot. When Mega Wedgie came in, the park looked at their assets and decided to recycle that pool for the exit of the CannonBOWL 30. It saved the park some money and preserved an historical pool that dates back to the time of Charlie Wood. The only modification was to fill the deep end with cement to bring it from 6 feet deep to 3 feet and a half.
We located in our souvenirs this unique postcard of the Great Escape Camping Resort. No dates were listed, but we estimate it at around 1984-1985.

Flex provided us with this great shot of the Mega Wedgie and the reconfigured in 2015 pool and waiting line. Basically, they filled up the side portions of the pool and made it a rectangular shape. The waiting line and tube storage were also moved closer to the slide tower and this was to allow additional patio and chair space for the new Buccaneer Beach water park makeover.
In this new picture, you can see where the park expanded the seating area in relation to the Mega Wedgie. The tube storage area was also moved to the other side.
Over at Kentucky Kingdom, when the park reopened in 2014, Mega Wedgie was so popular a CannonBOWL 40 was selected to be installed on a brand new custom complex. It is known as the Waikiki Wipeout and compliments the two other slides in its complex very well.
In this picture shot by Flex at Kentucky Kingdom, the Mega Wedgie is in the middle.
Kentucky Kingdom provided us with this great shot of the ProSPLASH equipped ending of Mega Wedgie.
In 2012, Adventure Cove opened its doors as part of the Marine Life Park and was Asia's first integration of a marine park with a water park. Given the fact that it is located at Resorts World Sentosa on a busy Sentosa Island (Singapore), Proslide had quite a challenge maximizing the space and fit as many slides without it looking like a generic water park. The end result is breathtaking as the slide colors were selected to seamlessly blend among the lush vegetation. Also, to minimize visual intrusions, no giant bare steel towers were constructed and all slides had to be lower to the ground.
Now, Proslide selected the CannonBOWL 30 as the ideal candidate and it fits perfectly, sharing the same tower as a Proslide Tornado 24. A unique feature is that both the Spiral Washout (Tornado 24) and Whirlpool Washout (CannonBOWL 30) use the same two person rafts, which make the Spiral Washout the only Tornado 24 to run non CloverLEAF or WhirlyWHEEL ride vehicles. The current vehicles are the Proslide TopsyRIVER Double which has more of a rectangular shape than the typical Figure 8 double tubes.
You can see the lush and rich environment the park has grown into. The Bowl section of Whirlpool Washout barely peeks through the trees and scenery.
The park created imaginative and eye catching signs for its slides.
The same general theory applied in 2013 at Quassy Amusement Park (Middlebury, CT) when they doubled the size of their Saturation Station water park into Splash Away Bay. The park has a strict 35 feet height restriction and they wanted to add thrilling attractions: what to do then? Proslide designed a custom complex with the BulletBowl (CannonBOWL 30) and two FreeFALL body slide attractions. Doubling the FreeFALL was a smart move as it fixed the usual capacity issue those popular slides have and the CannonBowl can use double tubes. Plus, going with the BulletBowl kept it family friendly whereas the ProBOWL is only restricted to good swimmers and many swimmers are intimidated by the freefall at the end.
The end result was beyond expectations as it helps fill the park on hot summer days and the CannonBowl enclosed flume also provides a great head chopper visual for the two FreeFALL Extreme Bodyslides.
In this shot, you can see how close the the FreeFALL come to the CannonBowl.
In this recent picture, you can see how close the Bullet Bowl flume goes to the two Freefalls. This complex was built where the park's previous steel roller coaster was located.

The CannonBOWL 30 popularity exploded in Asia where nearly as many was installed as the more popular CannonBOWL 40. Over in North America, Aquatica by Seaworld in San Antonio, TX installed a dueling pair around 2010.


Automatic Mileage Tracker - Tracking Mileage for your Taxes - You're Just One Change Away!
Everyone knows we have to submit taxes. Every year we focus on receipts, and every year my CPA asks me what my mileage was for the year. Really, how am I supposed to track that? Well, in the old days we had to keep a log. This, is an extreme pain. However, with the luxuries of today's technologies, we can use apps. The phone app I use the automatic mileage tracker mileIQ, and honestly I love it. I've started using it religiously. Well, I really don't have to do much. Every time I get in the car, this app knows and tracks the mileage. It is absolutely AMAZING as to how quickly the miles add up. I typically review it at the end of the day. And, if I frequently visit certain locations, it can automatically log it. So, the more I use it, the less I have to use it.
Oh, and why do we track miles? For every mile we travel, we can write off an amount of money. For the year 2015, it is 57.5 cents per mile for business and 23 cents per mile for medical or moving purposes, and 14 cents per mile driven for charitable organizations.
So, this doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up sooo fast. And, I hate trying to track miles. I can't even remember how many miles my car had at the beginning of the year. So, I can't estimate. So, I have the mileage tracking done automatically. Anyway, here is an easy example, let's say you have a meeting every Friday 10 miles down the road.
Where else can you get such an easy deduction? Anyway, I highly recommend for accuracy, protection from an audit, and a huge tax benefit, track your mileage.

Chip-Industry Merger Bash: Why This Party Isn't Over
ON Semiconductor's $2.4 billion deal for Fairchild is the latest merger in the semiconductor space--it won't be the last

All good parties eventually come to an end. But for the one raging in the semiconductor arena, last call still seems a way off.
Investors could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. ON Semiconductor's $2.4 billion deal to acquire Fairchild Semiconductor , announced Wednesday, is just the latest entrant to the chip industry's merger party.
And it has been quite the bash: there have been deals worth more than $120 billion across the sector so far this year, according to Dealogic.
That is far and away the all-time record.
What may give pause to investors hoping the festivities continue: the actual number of deals is low, the fewest since 2005. This means deal size is quite high. In fact, this year has seen 14 deals above $1 billion in value so far, including Avago's record-busting pickup of Broadcom for $37 billion. Average deal size this year is more than three times last year's average, according to Dealogic.
That would suggest the merger wave could be peaking. One reason: Many of the industry's biggest players are now busy absorbing their latest acquisitions.
But there may be at least a few more to come. Reports over the past month have indicated both Texas Instruments and Analog Devices are eyeing Maxim Integrated , which sports a market value of about $11.2 billion.
Qualcomm , with about $20 billion in net cash and a pressing need to diversify from its dependence on modem chips for smartphones, just hired a former stock analyst to run M&A for the company. In a report this week, Christopher Danley of Citigroup named Xilinx as an attractive target to a buyer like Qualcomm. Xilinx has a market value of just over $12 billion.
And another deep-pocketed buyer is itching to get into the deals party. The chairman of Tsinghua Unigroup, a state-owned entity based in China, told Reuters earlier this week that the company plans to spend the equivalent of $47 billion over the next five years to build up its chip business. The group reportedly made a bid for Micron earlier this year in the $23 billion range, but that price appears to have been insufficient to lure the memory chip maker to the table.
Cheap debt is also feeding the party. ON Semiconductor already had a net debt position of about $850 million, and plans to issue $2.4 billion of new debt to fund its merger. Avago and Intel are also funding a significant portion of their acquisitions with debt.
True, the U.S. Federal Reserve looks likely to raise interest rates in December. Even then, though, rates will be at very low levels and the Fed isn't likely to set upon a swift rate-increase path.
And valuations aren't insane—yet. The PHLX Semiconductor Index is still down about 4% for the year, and currently trades at a forward price/earnings multiple that is around its five-year average.
For now, the chip industry's merger punch bowl is still looking half full.

Jean Rotz, also called Johne Rotz, was a 16th-century French artist-cartographer. He was born to a Scottish father and a French mother.

Career
Rotz was a member of the school of the Dieppe maps. He may have accompanied Jean Parmentier to Sumatra in 1529, and he definitely went to Brazil in 1539.
His work was greatly influenced by these early French explorations, which induced him to create highly decorative maps.

Failing to find employment with King Francois I, Rotz went to England in 1542 and entered the service of Henry VIII. He presented Henry with his manuscript atlas, the Boke of Idrography, which contained a two-hemisphere world map. This map showed the distraits of magallane (Strait of Magellan), the two Unfortunate Islands (Insulas desfortunadas), unnamed on the map, discovered during Ferdinand Magellan's voyage across the Pacific, and the strait between Lytel Java (Java Minor) and the Londe of Java (Java Major) through which the Victoria, the last surviving ship of Magellan's expedition, was thought to have passed on the return voyage to Spain.

In the early nineteenth century, the resemblance of his Londe of Java to Australia was noted. Charles Ernest Coquebert de Montbret, having been able to examine the Rotz atlas at the British Museum during a visit to London following the Peace of Amiens in 1802, claimed in a lecture to the Société Philomathique de Paris in 1803 that its Londe  of Java was evidence of a discovery of the east coast of Australia by Portuguese based in the Moluccas, who perhaps were accompanied by French seafarers who thereby found the opportunity to obtain the intelligence upon which the map, and others of the Dieppe school, was prepared. His claim was refuted by Frédéric Metz in a letter to the Revue Philosophique, Littéraire et Politique of 11 Novembre 1805. Metz noted the absence of New Guinea and  the Gulf of Carpentaria, and pointed out that a chart that recorded the voyage of navigators who had gone as far as the southern extremity of the east coast of Australia could not have failed to indicate the breadth of sea that separated Australia from Java, whereas the Rotz map showed only a narrow channel between the two.

The Italian traveler Ludovico di Varthema visited Java in 1506 and said it "prope in inmensum patet (extends almost beyond measure)". Rotz apparently identified this "Java patalis" with the Regio Patalis, a huge promontory of the Terra Australis, depicted on the 1531 world map of the royal cosmographer, Oronce Fine.
