2020 Volvo XC40 Electric sketched out, includes 'frunk'
Derek Fung
More details about the electric crossover emerge, including its front- and rear-end designs, and a storage area under the bonnet.
The design of the Volvo XC40 Electric, the company's first EV, has been teased ahead of its launch on October 16, European time.
Externally the electric XC40 will feature a cleaner rear bumper design as it has no need for tailpipes, while the covered up grille has plenty of space to hide the sensors required for the car's new Advanced Driver Assistance System.
Interestingly, the XC40 Electric includes a "frunk" or front trunk, a small storage space under the bonnet most commonly seen on EVs riding on a dedicated electric car platform.
Like the Polestar 2, the XC40 Electric uses a modified version of the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) that also supports traditional internal-combustion engines and plug-in hybrid drivetrains.
Volvo has yet to announce details about the electric XC40's drivetrain, but it will likely be a bit less attention grabbing than that of the Polestar 2, which has 300kW/660Nm from its two electric motors and a 78kWh battery for a expected range of around 500 kilometres.
The Swedish automaker has confirmed the electric crossover will feature eight paint choices (including a new Sage metallic green), a contrasting black roof as standard, and new 19- and 20-inch alloy wheel designs.
To further its green credentials, the XC40 Electric will also include carpets made from recycled materials.
The company's local arm has confirmed it plans to launch the XC40 Electric, as well as the XC40 T5 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid, towards the end of 2020.

"The founding of the new electronics laboratory in 1946 represented a major departure in the organization of academic research at MIT and was destined to influence the development of interdepartmental centers at the Institute…"
Thesis Defense: David Patrick Burghoff
Wed, Aug 6, 2014, 1pm / 36-428
Doctoral Thesis Title: Broadband terahertz photonics
Presenter: David Patrick Burghoff
Thesis Supervisor: Qing Hu
Location: RLE Haus Room, 36-428
In recent years, quantum cascade lasers have emerged as mature semiconductor sources of light in the terahertz range, the frequency range spanning 1 to 10 THz. Though technological development has pushed their operating temperatures up to 200 Kelvin and their power levels up to Watt-level, they have remained unsuitable for many applications as a result of their narrow spectral coverage. In particular, spectroscopic and tomographic applications require sources that are both powerful and broadband. Having said that, there is no fundamental reason why quantum cascade lasers should be restricted to narrowband outputs. In fact, they possess gain spectra that are intrinsically broad, and beyond that can even be tailored to cover an octave-spanning range.
This thesis explores the development of broadband sources of terahertz radiation based on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). The chief way this is done is through the development of compact frequency combs based on THz QCLs, which are able to continuously generate milliwatt levels of terahertz power covering a fractional bandwidth of 14% of their center frequency. These devices operate on principles similar to microresonator-based frequency combs, and make use of the quantum cascade laser's fundamentally large nonlinearity to phase-lock the cavity modes. These devices will enable the development of ultra-compact dual comb spectrometers based on QCLs, and will potentially even act as complete terahertz spectrometers on a chip.
This thesis also uses broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to analyze the behavior of THz QCLs. By using QCLs as photoconductive switches, the usual limitations imposed by optical coupling are circumvented, and properties of the laser previously inaccessible can be directly observed. These properties include the gain and absorption of the laser gain medium, the populations of the laser's subbands, and properties of the waveguide like its loss and dispersion. Knowledge of these properties were used to guide frequency comb design, and were also used to inform simulations for designing better lasers.

HTC Snapdragon Devices To Be Announced Q2 2009?
By Chris Davies/Feb. 5, 2009 6:58 am EST
HTC are planning to launch at least one Qualcomm Snapdragon-based mobile device in Q2 2009, according to market sources in Taiwan. The devices are expected hit the market one quarter later than Toshiba's own Snapdragon-based handset, the TG01, which was announced earlier this week.
As can often be the case with Digitimes reports, there's a little confusion with the dates. At the Toshiba TG01 launch earlier this week, we were told that the smartphone would launch sometime during the Summer; the way we're interpreting the Digitimes article, although HTC will announce their own Snapdragon devices in Q2 they won't actually go on sale until after the TG01 does, in either Q3 or Q4 2009.
There's no word on exact specifications for the upcoming HTC devices, but comparing what we know about Snapdragon and looking back at the January leak of HTC's 2009 line-up, the two most obvious candidates are the Whitestone and the Thoth. Each is a slate-style tablet, with the Thoth (that's believed to be the Athena 2) having a clip-on QWERTY keyboard.

Arizona GOP Attorney General Calls Out Kari Lake, Election-Denying 'Clowns'
Mark Brnovich's comments come months after he lost a GOP primary for a U.S. Senate seat to Blake Masters, a Trump-endorsed Republican.
Ben Blanchet
Arizona GOP Attorney General Mark Brnovich slammed election deniers, including his state's Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake, over election fraud claims.
Brnovich spoke to "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley about what he called "horseshit" claims about the 2020 presidential election in an interview that aired on Sunday.
Brnovich, who reportedly voted for election denialist and former President Donald Trump, reflected on Trump calling and asking him to refer to the 2020 election as fraudulent.
His interview comes months after he lost a GOP primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona to Blake Masters, a Trump-endorsed Republican, as he faced criticism from the former president for not overturning election results.
The attorney general, who investigated election fraud allegations in the state, is set to leave his position in 2023 and didn't hold back on what he thinks about the state's Republicans and their claims about the election.
"Horseshit, and that's what it is, most of it's horseshit, and I've been trying to scrape... scrape it off my shoes for the last year," Brnovich said.
Arizona's Republican A.G., who voted for Trump, investigated allegations of fraud in the 2020 election and has a word for those claims: "Horses***. That's what it is. Most of it's horses***, and I've been trying to scrape it off my shoes for the last year" https://t.co/wiJKYdeLl1 pic.twitter.com/rVGdDTHP3m
— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 30, 2022
Brnovich claimed there was no one else in the U.S. who wanted to find fraud more than he did and, as "60 Minutes" noted, he's brought "indictments in every 2020 vote fraud case that he can back with evidence."
This effort, the news program said, amounts to indictments of 12 people involving 12 ballots across Arizona.
Brnovich, in response to a claim from election-denying Arizona Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem, later said he deals with facts and evidence as a prosecutor.
"And I'm not like the clowns that throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks," said Brnovich before a clip of Lake denying the result of the 2020 election aired. "It's like a giant grift in some ways."

Als Privilegierter Eisenbahn-Durchgangsverkehr (PED) wird Eisenbahnverkehr bezeichnet, der als Transitverkehr über fremdes Staatsgebiet erfolgt, ohne dass Zoll- oder Passkontrollen stattfinden. Je nach konkreter Regelung kann der PED zugleich dem Wechselverkehr zwischen den jeweiligen Staaten dienen. Dem PED weitgehend vergleichbar ist der in Österreich verwendete Rechtsbegriff des Korridorverkehrs. Allerdings umfasst dieser gemäß § 18f Absatz 2 Satz 3 des Österreichischen Arbeitszeitgesetzes nur "Zugbewegungen auf grenzüberschreitenden Strecken, die ihre Fahrt auf der Infrastruktur desselben Mitgliedstaats beginnen und beenden und die Infrastruktur eines anderen Mitgliedstaats nutzen, ohne dort anzuhalten".

Allgemeines

Ein Privilegierter Durchgangsverkehr wird normalerweise durch Abschluss eines Staatsvertrages geregelt. Darin wird unter anderem festgelegt, welcher Verkehr (Personen, Güter) dem Privilegierten Durchgangsverkehr unterliegt, welche Kontrollen durchgeführt werden dürfen, welche Kosten anfallen und welche Rechtsvorschriften (z. B. über die Höhe des Mehrwertsteuersatzes für Speisen und Getränke, die im Speisewagen eingenommen werden) während der Fahrt durch das Transitland gelten.

Durchgangsverkehr über das Gebiet anderer Staaten kann aus verschiedenen Gründen nötig sein. So war es auf Grund der geografischen Situation gelegentlich unmöglich oder unwirtschaftlich, eine Eisenbahntrasse ohne Grenzüberschreitung zu erbauen, ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Außerfernbahn. Auch als Folge der Änderung von Staatsgrenzen kann ein Teil einer durchgehenden Bahnverbindung über das Gebiet eines anderen Staates führen, wie etwa bei der Bahnstrecke Zittau–Hagenwerder.

Reisende, Gepäck und Güter werden nach den Bestimmungen des Binnenverkehrs der Ausgangsbahn abgefertigt, durch die Transitbahn erfolgt keine Kontrolle der Fahrausweise oder der Ladung. Sie stellt nur die Fahrplantrasse und erhält dafür eine pauschale Vergütung.

Abhängig von den jeweiligen zwischenstaatlichen Beziehungen der beiden betreffenden Staaten und dem Umfang der Verkehrsnachfrage werden die Eisenbahnzüge unter verschiedenen Bedingungen geführt. Oft hielten die PED-Züge nicht im Transitland,  Ein- und Aussteigen waren dort nicht erlaubt. Mitunter wurden früher die Türen der Reisezugwagen verschlossen oder verplombt, was inzwischen aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht mehr zulässig ist. Es fanden keine Pass- und Zollkontrollen statt. Erleichterungen im internationalen Reiseverkehr wie etwa Aufhebung der Visumpflicht oder die Aufhebung von Personen- und Zollkontrollen führten dazu, dass es heute verschiedene Formen des PED gibt. Aufgrund des Wegfalls der Grenzkontrollen im Zuge der Umsetzung des Schengener Abkommens haben die meisten europäischen Korridorverkehre einen großen Teil ihrer Besonderheiten gegenüber dem übrigen Eisenbahnverkehr verloren. Heute besteht die einzige Besonderheit eines PED oft nur noch im Eisenbahntarif, indem bei diesen Zügen weiterhin die nationalen und nicht die internationalen Tarife zur Anwendung kommen. So ist es weiterhin möglich, tschechische Binneverkehsfahrkarten für die grenzüberschreitende Strecke zwischen Liberec und Zittau zu lösen.

Eine Sonderform des privilegierten Durchgangsverkehrs war der Sperrwagen. Damit war es möglich, einen oder mehrere Personenwagen über Strecken des anderen Staates zu bewegen, ohne dass dieser Pass- oder Zollkontrollen unterlag.

Entwicklung in einzelnen Ländern

Deutschland

Bis 1918

Ein gegenseitiger Durchgangsverkehr zwischen Bayern und Österreich wurde auf der Außerfernbahn ab 1913 zwischen Steinach und Reutte eingerichtet. Nach der Eröffnung der Strecke Scharnitz–Reutte am 20. Mai 1913 konnte die Bayerische Staatsbahn von Kempten (Allgäu) über Reutte nach Garmisch-Partenkirchen fahren, während die österreichische Bahn von Innsbruck nach Reutte fahren konnte. Hier wurden den normalen Zügen Sperrwagen mitgegeben, die in Deutschland verschlossen waren und in denen keine Grenzkontrollen stattfanden. Seit 1994 gibt es keine durchgehende Züge Innsbruck–Reutte mehr. Es muss in Garmisch-Partenkirchen umgestiegen werden. Damit gilt auf dieser Verbindung der österreichische Binnentarif nicht mehr, jedoch der Tiroler Verbundtarif.

Zwischen der Schweiz und dem damaligen Großherzogtum Baden wurde 1852 zum Bau der Hochrheinbahn ein Staatsvertrag abgeschlossen. In diesem wurde der Bau und Betrieb "badischer Strecken" auf Schweizer Gebiet geregelt. Da die Frage, in wessen Eigentum sich die Trasse befindet, im Hinblick auf die Frage, ob ein Transitverkehr "privilegiert" sei, unerheblich ist, handelt es sich bei dieser Verbindung um einen Fall von PED.

Der im Eigentum der Deutschen Bahn AG befindliche Badische Bahnhof in Basel hingegen gilt als exterritoriales Gelände (daher ist unter anderem die Deutsche Bundespolizei für den Bahnhof zuständig). Insofern besteht zwischen der deutsch-schweizerischen Grenze und dem Bahnhof ein kurzer Korridor.

Auf dem Bahnhof Schaffhausen, einem Gemeinschaftsbahnhof, gab es einen deutschen Bahnsteig, wo "innerdeutsch" ohne Zoll- und Passkontrolle umgestiegen werden konnte, beispielsweise von Reisenden zwischen Stuttgart und Waldshut. Auch für Reisende, die im Korridorzug von Singen nach Waldshut durch die Schweiz fahren, gilt der deutsche Bahntarif.

1918 bis 1945
Durch die Grenzziehungen in der Folge des Versailler Vertrages wurden verschiedene privilegierte Durchgangsverkehre durch den polnischen Korridor eingerichtet. Dabei erfolgte die Abwicklung durch polnische Lokomotiven und polnisches Personal. PED bestanden bis 1936 auf folgenden Strecken:

 Berlin – Stettin – Stolp – Groß Boschpol – Danzig – Tczew (Dirschau) – Marienburg – Königsberg
 Berlin – Schneidemühl – Firchau – Chojnice (Konitz) – Tczew (Dirschau) – Marienburg – Königsberg
 Berlin – Schneidemühl – Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) – Toruń (Thorn) – Deutsch Eylau – Allenstein – Insterburg
 Berlin – Neu Bentschen – Poznań (Posen) – Toruń (Thorn) – Deutsch Eylau – Allenstein – Insterburg
 Breslau – Poznań (Posen) – Toruń (Thorn) – Deutsch Eylau – Allenstein – Insterburg (nur Kurswagen)

Ab 1936 wurden nur noch die Strecken über Groß Boschpol und Firchau bedient. Auch nach der deutschen Besetzung Polens 1939 konnten die Züge vielfach nur mit Genehmigung verlassen werden. Diese Regelung galt später nur noch für Züge, die das Wartheland durchquerten. In weiten Teilen Danzig-Westpreußens galt diese Regelung nach der späteren ostwärtigen Verlegung der Polizeigrenze nicht mehr, direkte Fahrten von Pommern nach Ostpreußen und Danzig waren nach 1941 keine Korridorfahrten mehr.

Durch die Abtretung Nordschleswigs an Dänemark lag der Fährbahnhof Hoyerschleuse für den Verkehr nach Sylt auf dänischen Gebiet. Nachdem zunächst die Durchfahrt nur mit gültigem Visum gestattet war, verkehrten ab 1923 bis zur Eröffnung des Hindenburgdammes 1927 Korridorzüge zwischen Niebüll und Hoyerschleuse.

Durch die Besetzung des Sudetenlandes nach dem Münchener Abkommen 1938 war das Deutsche Reich bestrebt, eine Bahnverbindung zwischen Berlin und Wien auf dem kürzesten Weg zu etablieren, der nicht der Kontrolle der tschechoslowakischen Behörden unterlag. Es wurden deshalb Durchgangsverkehre zwischen Oberschlesien und Österreich eingerichtet. Die Grenzziehung zwischen dem Deutschen Reich und dem Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren orientierte sich nicht an den bestehenden Bahnstrecken. Es war deshalb erforderlich, im Grenzgebiet weitere Durchgangsverkehre einzurichten.

1945 bis 1990

Kompliziert stellte sich nach Beendigung des Zweiten Weltkrieges die Situation im neu entstandenen Dreiländereck DDR-Tschechoslowakei-Polen dar. Hier war es erforderlich, für direkte Züge von Zittau nach Görlitz einen Durchgangsverkehr auf der Bahnstrecke Zittau–Hagenwerder (Neißetalbahn) einzurichten, die auf dem Abschnitt zwischen Hirschfelde und Hagenwerder seit Festlegung der Oder-Neiße-Grenze auf polnischem Gebiet verläuft. Eine Besonderheit der Strecke ist, dass seitdem der Bahnhof der Stadt Ostritz auf polnischem Gebiet liegt. Die PED-Vereinbarung sah deshalb einen Halt der deutschen Züge im Krzewina Zgorzelecka genannten Bahnhof vor, der von Ostritz aus bis heute über eine Fußgängerbrücke zugänglich ist. Der polnische Abschnitt der Strecke im Neißetal ist zugleich Teil der Bahnstrecke Mikułowa–Bogatynia. Bei Rosenthal passiert die Strecke über zwei Neißebrücken für 220 m deutsches Gebiet, Züge von Görlitz nach Zittau queren die Grenze also viermal, die polnischen Züge von und nach Bogatynia passieren sie zweimal.

Infolge der deutschen Teilung wurden durch die Deutsche Reichsbahn nach 1945 kurzzeitig Durchgangsverkehre im Westen Thüringens eingerichtet. Dies betraf die Strecken  zwischen Wartha und Gerstungen (Thüringer Bahn), Mühlhausen und Treffurt sowie die Verbindung über die Ulstertalbahn nach Vacha, die auf kurzen Abschnitten westdeutsches Gebiet passierten. Umgekehrt richtete die Deutsche Bundesbahn durchgehende Personenzüge zwischen Bebra und Heringen (Werra) ein, die im östlich der Grenze gelegenen Bahnhof Gerstungen Kopf machten, ohne dass dort Zu- oder Ausstieg erlaubt war. 1952 wurden diese Verkehre infolge der beginnenden Abriegelung der Grenze eingestellt. Während die Strecken nach Treffurt und Vacha vollständig eingestellt und bald abgebaut wurden, diente die Strecke über Gerstungen weiter dem Transitverkehr. Diese kreuzte in ihrem Verlauf von Eisenach über Gerstungen nach Bebra mehrmals die innerdeutsche Grenze, so dass der der DDR gehörende Bahnhof Gerstungen von Eisenach nur über Bundesgebiet erreichbar und umgekehrt die bundesdeutschen Bahnhöfe Herleshausen und Wommen nur über DDR-Gebiet. Personenverkehr innerhalb der DDR gab es dort seit 1952 nicht mehr, jedoch Güterverkehr. Nach dem Bau einer Verbindungsstrecke war Gerstungen ab 1962 wieder direkt vom DDR-Gebiet erreichbar. Bis 1978 führte die Reichsbahn lediglich noch ein Güterzugpaar über Herleshausen. Seitens der Bundesbahn gab es mit wiederholten Unterbrechungen noch Güterverkehr zwischen Bebra und Heringen über Gerstungen. Die Strecke wurde nicht offiziell eingestellt, im an den Grundlagenvertrag anschließenden deutsch-deutschen Eisenbahnabkommen wurden bei allen noch bestehenden Strecken die gegenseitigen Betriebsrechte festgeschrieben.

Kein PED waren die Transitzüge zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und Berlin, denn die Verkehrsrechte für den Eisenbahnverkehr in West-Berlin lagen aufgrund alliierter Regelungen bei der Deutschen Reichsbahn. Ein Sonderfall waren die S-Bahnzüge durch den Nord-Süd-Tunnel in Berlin. Hier konnten Reisende aus West-Berlin das Gebiet Ost-Berlins ohne Kontrollen durchqueren und im Bahnhof Friedrichstraße umsteigen.

Seit 1990

Die Deutsche Wiedervereinigung führte zum Ende aller Sonderregelungen an der innerdeutschen Grenze. Mit dem Schengener Abkommen entfielen bei den verbliebenen PED-Verkehren an den deutschen Grenzen zu Polen, Tschechien und Österreich die Pass- und Zollkontrollen. Lediglich tariflich und betrieblich bestehen weiterhin besondere Regelungen.

Tschechoslowakei, Tschechien, Slowakei
Zur Bedienung des an der Strecke Plauen–Cheb gelegenen tschechischen Bahnhofs Plesná wurde nach 1945 ein Durchgangsverkehr zwischen der ČSD und der DR vereinbart. Die Züge verkehrten von Cheb nach Plesná und durchfuhren bei Schönberg einen Streckenabschnitt der DR.

Entlang der Strecke Varnsdorf–Großschönau–Zittau und weiter nach Liberec bestand PED für Reisende aus der Tschechoslowakei (später Tschechien) durch deutsches und für Reisende zwischen Seifhennersdorf und Großschönau über tschechisches Gebiet. Zusätzlich verläuft die Bahnstrecke Zittau–Liberec seit 1945 im Bereich der Gemeinde Porajów (Großporitzsch) über polnisches Territorium. Der PED von ČSD und DR lief nebeneinander und voneinander getrennt, zusätzlich verkehrten seit 1977 zwei Zugpaare des Wechselverkehres zwischen Zittau und Liberec. Die Züge im PED hatten im jeweils anderen Staat keinen Verkehrshalt. Erst am 23. Mai 1982 erhielten die Züge der ČSD zwischen Varnsdorf und Liberec einen Verkehrshalt in Zittau. Die Grenzabfertigung erfolgte auf dem Bahnsteigzugang in Zittau. Der Verkehrshalt im Bahnhof Varnsdorf für die Züge zwischen Seifhennersdorf und Großschönau wurde erst 2006 eingerichtet. Mit dem Ende der Grenzkontrollen als Folge des Beitrittes der drei betroffenen Staaten zum Schengener Abkommen und der Trennung von Netz und Betrieb als Folge von Bahnreformen und Ausschreibungen haben die Vereinbarungen zum PED ihre Bedeutung verloren. Reisende zwischen Seifhennersdorf und Liberec überqueren trotzdem viermal eine Staatsgrenze.

Ein weiterer solcher Verkehr mit Polen besteht auf der Strecke Hanušovice–Krnov, wo zwischen Mikulovice u Jeseníku und Jindřichov ve Slezsku polnisches Territorium und der Bahnhof Głuchołazy (früher Ziegenhals Hbf) genutzt wird. Dieser PED wurde 1888 eingerichtet (damals zwischen Österreich und dem Deutschen Reich) und nach 1945 erneut aufgenommen, nachdem das Gebiet nördlich der Grenze zu Polen gekommen war. Eine Besonderheit ist, dass im Bahnhof Głuchołazy alle Korridorzüge zum Fahrtrichtungswechsel halten mussten, Ein- und Aussteigen von Reisenden jedoch bis 2006 verboten war.

Nachfolgend wird die Vorgehensweise im Dreiländereck mit zeitgenössischen Bildaufnahmen geschildert:

In der Slowakei wurde am 12. September 1951 ein PED über ungarisches Territorium über die Bahnstrecke Aszód–Lučenec von Lučenec nach Malé Straciny aufgenommen. Mit der neugebauten Bahnstrecke Nógradszakál–Malé Straciny konnten die Braunkohlenwerke um Veľký Krtíš und Malé Straciny am kostengünstigsten erschlossen werden.

Polen
Für die polnische Eisenbahn war es ab 1938 nach der Besetzung des Olsagebiets durch Polen erforderlich, einen Durchgangsverkehr auf der Strecke Oderberg () – Rybnik über deutsches Gebiet einzurichten.

Ein weiterer PED war nach 1945 an der neuen Ostgrenze zwischen Malhowice und Krościenko notwendig. Der Vertrag zur Mitnutzung der Strecken Przemyśl–Chyriw und Stryj–Starjawa in der Sowjetunion wurde 1963 geschlossen. Die mitgenutzten Abschnitte wurden in der Folge mit Vierschienengleisen für Regel- und Russische Breitspur ausgebaut. Die Verkehre endeten 1995.

Österreich
Das Auseinanderbrechen Österreich-Ungarns sowie die Abtretung Südtirols an Italien nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg brachten die Notwendigkeit mit sich, auf mehreren Strecken PED einzurichten.

Korridor durch Jugoslawien (Slowenien)
Von 1918 bis 1945 und von 1952 bis 1965 verkehrten Korridorzüge auf der Lavanttalbahn und der Drautalbahn von Lavamünd über das damals jugoslawische, heute slowenische Dravograd nach Bleiburg. Durch den Bau der 1964 fertiggestellten Jauntalbahn, die ausschließlich durch Kärnten verläuft, wurde der Transitverkehr überflüssig. Das Teilstück der Lavanttalbahn zwischen Lavamünd und Dravograd wurde nach der Stilllegung der Strecke abgebaut.

Korridor durch Ungarn
Heute noch gültig sind die PED-Verträge für die Burgenlandbahn von Loipersbach im Burgenland über den ungarischen Bahnhof von Sopron nach Deutschkreutz.

Korridor durch Italien
PED bestand auf den Stecken Brennerbahn–Pustertalbahn–Drautalbahn zwischen Innsbruck und Lienz durch das nunmehr italienische Südtirol. Seit dem Fahrplanwechsel 2013/2014 gibt es keinen Korridorzug zwischen Innsbruck und Lienz mehr. Fahrgäste können seitdem entweder einen durchgehenden Bus oder den normalen Bahnverkehr mit Regelhalt an italienischen Bahnhöfen nutzen.

Korridor durch Deutschland
Zur Beschleunigung des Verkehrs von Wien und Salzburg nach Innsbruck wurde ab dem 28. Mai 1967 auf der Strecke über das große deutsche Eck bei Rosenheim eine Verbindung ohne Fahrgasthalt in Deutschland neu aufgenommen. Die Züge mussten während eines Betriebshalts in Rosenheim, bei dem Ein- und Ausstieg untersagt waren, die Fahrtrichtung wechseln. Zur Vermeidung dieses Fahrtrichtungswechsels wurde 1982 auf Kosten der Österreichischen Bundesbahnen eine Verbindungskurve in Rosenheim gebaut. Außerdem gab es bis 1994 PED zwischen Scharnitz und Ehrwald mit Kopfmachen in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, teils mit durchgehenden Zügen, teils mit Sperrwagen. Der Korridorverkehr mit Elektrotriebwagen der Baureihe 4030 zwischen Innsbruck und Reutte wurde 1958 eingestellt.

Frankreich, Italien
Ein Privilegierter Durchgangsverkehr besteht auf der Tendabahn zwischen Frankreich und Italien. Mit der in der Vergangenheit mehrfach geänderten Grenzziehung in diesem Bereich änderten sich die jeweiligen Vereinbarungen.

Russland
Zwischen der russischen Exklave, der Oblast Kaliningrad, und den Zielen im russischen Kernland, Moskau, Sankt Petersburg und Anapa besteht ein entsprechender Durchgangsverkehr durch Litauen und Belarus. Dies ist jedoch kein PED, da die Reisenden, sofern sie nicht gerade aus EU-Ländern stammen, litauische Transitvisa benötigen.

Schweiz
Die im Eigentum und Betrieb der Schweizerischen Bundesbahnen befindliche Bahnstrecke Eglisau–Neuhausen besitzt auf deutschem Staatsgebiet Bahnhöfe in Jestetten und Lottstetten, die dem Schweizer Bahntarif unterliegen. Auf diesen dürfen Fahrgäste ein- und aussteigen, jedoch nur in die oder aus den für sie vorgesehenen Wagen. Durchgangsreisende zwischen Zürich und Schaffhausen in den anderen Wagen blieben als PED-Reisende von Pass- und Zollkontrollen verschont. Mit dem Schengener Abkommen fielen zwar die Personenkontrollen weg, jedoch gehört die Schweiz nicht zur europäischen Zollunion. Daher sind Zollkontrollen bei in Deutschland zu- und aussteigenden Fahrgästen noch immer möglich.

Obituary: Senneville pays tribute to former mayor George McLeish (1943-2021)
The Town of Senneville lowered its flags in tribute to McLeish, the town's longest serving mayor.
John Meagher • Montreal Gazette
Former Senneville mayor George McLeish, pictured here in 2014, recently died. He was 78.
The Town of Senneville paid tribute to former mayor George McLeish, who died suddenly Dec. 22. He was 78.
The town lowered its flags in tribute to McLeish, the town's longest-serving mayor.
Obituary: Senneville pays tribute to former mayor George McLeish (1943-2021) Back to video
McLeish was a municipal councillor from 1990 to 1994 and then served twice as mayor from 1995 to 2001 and again from 2006 to 2013. He ran for mayor again in 2017 but lost the election by 19 votes to Julie Brisebois, the current mayor.
"Deeply attached to our village, Mr. McLeish demonstrated unparalleled civic and community involvement," Brisebois said in a statement. "We will have the opportunity to pay tribute to his legacy in the new year."
McLeish was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on March 18, 1943. He immigrated to Canada with his parents and three brothers when he was in his teens. The family settled in Toronto. McLeish obtained a chemical engineering degree from the University of Toronto, where he met his future wife, Barbara. They married on July 1, 1966. In 1975, they moved to Senneville where they raised their family and became active in community affairs.
As mayor, McLeish is credited with overseeing the construction of the community pool in 2002 and the community centre on Morningside Ave. which bears his name. McLeish also helped to preserve the town's $1 million surplus before the merger with the Montreal megacity.
In 2014, the town renamed the community centre after McLeish as recognition for his civic contributions.
Aside from his participation in local politics, McLeish was also a magazine publisher.
"George loved the town of Senneville and could not have imagined living anywhere else," according to his obituary notice.
McLeish was predeceased by his parents, Margaret Bruce and George McLeish, and his three brothers, Robert, Bruce and Charlie.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Barbara, his three children, Kristin (John), D'Arcy (Kira) and Adam (Caroline) and his grandchildren, Brody, Jules, Callum, Campbell, Tess, Quinn and Cohan.
Due to current pandemic restrictions, a memorial service will be held at a later date.

Europol says dozens of Islamic State militants may be in Europe
Published at 06:50 pm December 2nd, 2016
Last updated at 01:38 am October 30th, 2017
In a report on the threat the Islamic State poses to the 28-nation bloc, Europol said the most probable forms of attack would be those used in recent years, from the mass shootings and suicide bombings seen in Paris and Brussels to stabbings and other assaults by radicals acting alone. Car bombs and kidnappings, common in Syria, could emerge as tactics in Europe, it said, while protected sites such as power grids and nuclear power stations were not seen as top targets. Essentially the entire European Union is under threat as almost all its governments back the US-led coalition in Syria, the agency said, warning that IS was likely to infiltrate Syrian refugee communities in Europe in an effort to inflame hostility to immigrants that has shaken many EU governments.

"If the Islamic State is defeated or severely weakened in Syria/Iraq by the coalition forces, there may be an increased rate in the return of foreign fighters and their families from the region to the EU or to other conflict areas," Europol said in a statement. It said Islamic State was also likely to start planning attacks and sending militants to Europe from Libya and that other groups, including al-Qaeda and its affiliates, also continue to pose a threat to the continent. Europol Director Rob Wainwright said EU states had stepped up their security cooperation in the wake of IS attacks in the last couple of years, allowing more plots to be thwarted. "Nevertheless," he said, "Today's report shows that the threat is still high and includes diverse components which can be only tackled by even better collaboration."

Alexandrium acatenella is an armoured, marine, planktonic dinoflagellate. It is associated with toxic PSP blooms in Pacific coastal regions.
A non-chain forming species, cells of A. acatenella are small to medium sized, longer than wide, and angular to round in ventral outline (Figs. 1,2). A characteristic ventral pore is present (Fig. 3). Two short antapical spines are present; no apical horn is present (Fig. 3) . The thecal surface is sculptured with large and small pores. Cells range in size between 35-51 µm in length and 26-35 µm in transdiameter width (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936, Balech, 1995, Taylor et al., 1995, Steidinger and Tangen, 1996).
The plate formula for A. acatenella is: Po, 4', 6'', 6c, 9s, 5''', 2''''. The epitheca in this species is longer than the hypotheca: often it is equal to the length of the hypotheca plus the cingulum. The cone-shaped epitheca is low with convex sides (Figs. 1-3). The apical pore complex (APC) is roughly rectangular. The apical pore plate (Po) is broadly oval and narrows ventrally; it bears a relatively large foramen (Fig. 4). The first apical plate (1') comes in direct contact with the Po, and also bears the characteristic ventral pore (vp) (Fig. 4) (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936, Balech, 1995, Taylor et al., 1995, Steidinger and Tangen, 1996).
The post-median cingulum is deeply excavated, and displaced in a descending fashion about 1 time its width without overhanging. Narrow lists are present on the cingulum (Figs. 1-3). The deeply excavated sulcus widens posteriorly flaring to the right, slightly invading the hypotheca. The short hypotheca is broadly rounded with two posterior antapical spines (Figs. 1-3). The antapex region between the spines is slightly concave (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936, Balech, 1995, Taylor et al., 1995, Steidinger and Tangen, 1996).
A. acatenella is a photosynthetic species with elongated chloroplasts. Cells can be highly pigmented and reddish-brown in color. The elliptical nucleus is C-shaped and equatorial (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936, Prakash and Taylor, 1966, Balech, 1995).
A. acatenella reproduces asexually by binary fission (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936).
A. acatenella is very similar morphologically (size, shape and thecal plate formula) to the toxic Atlantic species, A. tamarense. Differences lie in the general shape of the cell, thecal sculpture, length of epitheca in relation to the hypotheca, and size and shape of the apical plates. The former species is roundish, while the latter is wider (shoulders) and roughly pentagonal. Thecal plates in A. acatenella are clearly porolated, while in A. tamarense they are relatively smooth. The epitheca in A. acatenella is distinctly longer than the hypotheca; they are nearly equal in A. tamarense. The size and shape of the apical plates differ in these two species (Balech, 1995).
A. acatenella also shares some common characteristics of A. catenella. However, the former species is a non-chain former without a posterior attachment pore, bears a ventral pore on 1', and is usually found in warmer waters (Prakash and Taylor, 1966, Balech, 1995).
A. acatenella is a planktonic species associated with PSP events and red tides. Populations are most abundant in neritic waters at 15 °C. A bloom event in British Columbia caused four human illnesses and one death in 1965, the first reported PSP outbreak associated with A. acatenella. Cell densities during this red tide were as high as 13.5 X 10^6 cells/L (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936, Prakash and Taylor, 1966).
Alexandrium acatenella is a known PSP toxin-producing dinoflagellate species responsible for several illnesses and one death in British Columbia (Prakash and Taylor, 1966).
Alexandrium acatenella is widely distributed in Pacific coastal waters. Populations have been recorded from the north Pacific coast of the United States and Canada, Japan, Argentina and northern Chile (Whedon and Kofoid, 1936, Balech, 1995, Taylor et al., 1995, Steidinger and Tangen, 1996).

Hungry for History
At the local culinary society CHoW, members indulge a taste for the past
by Nevin Martell May 27, 2012 11:13 am Updated September 1, 2022 5:15 pm
Photo by Chris Rossi
Kari Barrett of Rockville loves cooking so much you'd think she was born wearing an apron.
As a child, she sat in the kitchen watching her grandmother snapping beans and baking biscuits. Sometimes she'd perch on her nana's knee and help with the simpler prep work; other times she'd just soak in the smells and sounds.
When she was 10, her mother got her a Betty Crocker Cookbook so she could start cooking herself. "I've always been drawn to sweets," says Barrett, 47, a communications and outreach adviser for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. "So I made a lot of desserts—snowball cookies, toffee bars and snickerdoodles."
In high school, she scored a job shucking oysters and making crab salad at Crisfield Seafood Restaurant on the Eastern Shore. Working with fresh shellfish, she realized that she was among the many chefs who depended on the Chesapeake for their livelihood.
Years later, Barrett stumbled across Some Favorite Southern Recipes of the Duchess of Windsor by Baltimore-born Wallis Warfield Windsor. The 1942 tome contained several regional favorites from Maryland, and Barrett discovered a passion for early American cuisine.
More than a decade ago, she joined the Culinary Historians of Washington, D.C.—a group of food history lovers affectionately known as CHoW. "There were historians, cookbook writers, food and travel experts, and academic scholars," says Barrett, a former president of the group. "I felt like there was something to learn."
CHoW was founded in 1996 by Shirley Cherkasky, a retired sociology professor with a longtime interest in understanding history through dining habits and cuisine. The club since has grown from a few members to more than 125, most of them middle-aged or retirees.
Like many members, Barrett loves to cook bygone foods. To achieve authenticity, she has become a hearth cook, using a fireplace instead of a stove. Whether she's roasting meat on a spit or baking rockfish from the Chesapeake Bay on a water-soaked plank, Barrett finds it "fun to play with fire."
The oldest recipe she has tackled is an onion soup from the 16th century, but she mostly cooks regional favorites from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "It's not that complicated," she says, "though it can be tough figuring out the recipes because measurements weren't listed."
From September through May, Barrett and other club members gather monthly for a potluck and lecture in a nondescript community meeting room at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center in downtown Bethesda.
At a meeting in December, chairs are set up in rows facing a podium and screen. The counter along one side of the room serves as a buffet table. The dishes that members contribute for the potluck can be related to the day's speaker, though people often just bring what they feel like sharing.
Each plate and bowl has a handwritten placard in front of it. There are cranbrosia bars, blue cheese wafers and a gloriously aromatic applesauce gingerbread, sweetened with sorghum and accompanied by gooseberry sauce. The smell of ginger, cinnamon and cloves permeates the room.
One platter boasts "Cajun macarons," which look more like the Jewish deli favorite than the delicate French dessert, though not really resembling either.
"What makes them Cajun?" one member wonders aloud.
"Don't worry, they're not spicy," another assures her.
Conversations burble—one pair discusses liquidating a vintage cookbook collection as a trio mourns the loss of Gourmet magazine, which turned off the burners a little more than two years ago.
Then Vice President Katy Hayes of Laurel, a 59-year-old archivist for Bowie State University, raps a jam jar on a table at the front of the room. The more than 60 members drift to their seats, promising to continue conversations after the lecture.
Hayes calls for any "whatzits" that members might want to share. Attendees try to guess the identity and purpose of these food-related gadgets. At past meetings, members have presented all sorts of thingamajigs, including a barbaric-looking wooden club that turned out to be a breadfruit masher from the South Pacific, and an accordioned chamber on stilts revealed to be a vintage hard-boiled egg peeler. And this: a six-armed setting that looked like it was meant to display a giant diamond, but was actually a sterling silver Victorian-era grapefruit holder.
It's tough, however, to stump this crowd. "Someone figures it out almost every time," says Claudia Kousoulas, 54, director of the club's board and a freelance food writer living in Bethesda. "Our members really know their stuff."

It took four years to cast the role of Brandon Teena, the transgender man who was raped and beaten to death after the discovery of his anomatical female parts. Swank, who was then relatively unknown in Hollywood, auditioned and managed to convince director Kimberly Pierce into casting her by lying about her age "like Brandon Teena would've done." For the role, Swank dressed and lived as a man for a month by taping down her chest and stuffing socks into her pants and dropped a significant amount of weight to highlight her masculine facial structure. At one point, her neighbors even started to believe the "man" often seen coming into her home was her brother. Swank went on to win the Oscar for Best Actress.

Art / 5 Questions
Ian Wolter: Art for the Children of Calais
As an artist, how can you respond to the times in which we live in a meaningful way? This week Ian Wolter unveils a new sculpture, The Children of Calais, in the UK. "I would like to think it could encourage people to have confidence in their own kinder, better nature, and speak out," the artist tells Emily Steer.
Ian Wolter is openly political in his practice. Most recently, he has been working on a sculpture called The Children of Calais, which will be shown to the public from this Friday at Dorset House Garden, off Church Street, in Saffron Walden in the UK. The piece is being unveiled by Lord Dubs, a Labour party peer and former child refugee, in a fitting nod to the sculpture's roots. It depicts six children in contemporary clothing, one holding a life raft, in a pose reminiscent of Rodin's The Burghers of Calais. Like the original, this work comments on an "inhumane" act by the country's leaders, as the government has about-turned on a previous promise to take in 3,000 unaccompanied children. "I wanted to make a very vivid, very solid response," the artist tells me.
Can you tell me a little about The Children of Calais project?
This project grew directly out of an argument with an MP. His contention was that child migrants and refugees couldn't be allowed to enter the UK, even if they had the legal right to come here, because that would encourage others to follow. That struck me as utterly inhumane. I think this view is sustained by keeping refugees in a rather theoretical realm, keeping them as "other", a view perpetuated by the right-wing press. In Calais, when face to face with these young people, who could not want to help them?
"As with Rodin's sculpture, the figures don't look at one another; they are lost in their own despair"
I wanted to make a very vivid, very solid response. The story behind Rodin's Burghers of Calais seems to present a similar narrative of a sacrifice demanded with the possibility of a positive outcome. Rodin's piece commemorates a moment during the Hundred Years' War when Calais was besieged by the English. King Edward offered to protect the city if six of its burghers would surrender themselves to be hanged. The burghers' lives were eventually spared by the intervention of the queen at that time.
My piece, The Children of Calais, portrays six contemporary British children in the same poses as Rodin's burghers. Instead of holding the key to the city of Calais, as in the original, one holds a life-jacket. As with Rodin's sculpture, the figures don't look at one another; they are lost in their own despair. The parallel in the stories of human suffering, forced migration and eventual grace is very powerful.
You worked from life on the project. How did you select the children for the sculpture (was there anything in particular you were looking for when you began?), and what was your process for working with them like, where the subject itself is very harrowing?
The first model was my daughter so I had no choice in that: she insisted! Thereafter I was interested in how tall they were and I wanted a balance of gender and ethnicity. The effect that I wanted to create was just a collection of British kids. The other five models were all children of my friends and it became a fascinating process. All of them were very highly motivated to be a part of the project because they felt very strongly about the politics involved. They were aged between nine and seventeen and most were well informed about the issue. Several didn't want to be paid because they just wanted to lend their support to the project (I had to insist).
The other really interesting thing was that I spent between twelve and fifteen hours with each child and you don't normally get to know your friends' kids that well. I was really struck by what engaged, interested young people they all are.
I also went to Calais with Art Refuge UK and Secours Catholique to better understand the situation, which is truly shocking and is no longer being reported.
You have formed the sculpture in resin and made it look like bronze. Can you tell me a little about your play with materials and with the traditional aesthetics of public sculptures and memorials? Obviously your previous work caused quite the stir, with James Delingpole and Viscount Monckton threatening legal action…
The piece I made a few years ago, called Memorial, addressed climate change and the idea that those who had deliberately delayed efforts to tackle global warming should not be allowed to have their actions forgotten. I was inspired by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC but made this piece as a slow "waterfall" of oil trickling over the names of known climate change deniers apparently carved into a marble memorial. I think what aggrieved Delingpole and Monckton so much was the air of permanence implicit in the form of a memorial—that it would be a lasting record of their denial.
"Not all of my work is so direct in its message, but it seems to me that we live in a time when it's important that we stand up and say what we believe"
I want The Children of Calais to work in a similar way, to be a reminder that the decisions we make now will be judged in the future. With a different material it could seem more contemporary, transient, ethereal or whatever; bronze feels permanent. This way it should be read as a permanent indictment, a record of inhuman decisions and policies, or equally it could be seen as a memorial to the young victims of the present crisis.
What response do you hope to trigger with a work like this?
It would be great if The Children of Calais prompted further debate about a more humanitarian response to the present crisis. Will it change anyone's mind? I don't suppose I'll ever know. But I would like to think it could encourage people to have confidence in their own kinder, better nature, and speak out.
Many artists I speak with, even when their work touches on political subject matter, will say they aren't outwardly political. You have made a very clear statement here in having your work unveiled by a Labour peer and former child refugee. What more do you think art can do to break through into political life?
Most art doesn't attempt to impart a direct message. Political art does; it's a very strange subset of art. When it works well, this is conveyed in the medium and the form of the piece, not just as a cartoon or slogan. It embodies the message in a new and hopefully thought-provoking way. Many artists shy away from being too literal, or don't want their art to be dominated by a political stance or message, which I understand. Not all of my work is so direct in its message, but it seems to me that we live in a time when it's important that we stand up and say what we believe.

Today's MLB Game Prediction: Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees Baseball Pick for August, 26, 2019
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Yankees 08/26/2019
by Richie
in MLB Baseball Picks & Prediction
Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees, first game of the series. After the victory against the Dodgers on the road. The Yankees are looking for ways to continue winning games to close the regular season with the best record in the MLB. For now, the Dodgers are the best team, but it's a matter of expecting the Dodgers to lose games. At home the Mariners won the last series, but they still have a negative record at home.
Seattle Mariners: We don't know what to do at home.
The Mariners had problems after the first six games at home this season. After those games, the next 15 games were a total failure. Eleven defeats with only four wins. 3-5 in eight games this month. Three series, in one series the Mariners were swept by the Rays and the last one was a victory against the Blue Jays.
At home the Mariners are scoring an average of 4.82 runs per game, 3.61 walks, 10.14 strike outs, 8.09 hits, 1.41 home runs, 14.50 left on base. The defense allows up to 5.58 runs per game, 2.97 walks, 8.05 strike outs, 9.17 hits, 1.61 home runs and 13.35 left on base.
Matt Wisler 3-2 this season with three teams. So far 1-0 with the Mariners in seven games as starter. 3.52 Era, 15.1 pitched innings, 15 hits, 8 runs, 1 home run, 18 strike outs and 1109 WHIP. 1-2 in the last three games at home.
New York Yankees: Winning all we can.
The Yankees had good luck against the Dodgers. The record in the last 10 games on the road is negative with 4-6. The Yankees before winning against the Dodgers had to lose against Athletics. The offense against the Dodgers was the best of the last nine games on the road. 16 runs in three games. The team allowed only 5 runs in Los Angeles.
On the road the Yankees are scoring an average of 6.25 runs per game, 3.79 walks, 9.11 strike outs, 9.92 hits, 1.95 home runs, 14.94 left on base. The defense allows up to 5.41 runs per game, 3.14 walks, 8.73 strike outs, 9.29 hits and 1.76 home runs.
J.A. Happ 10-8 this season in 25 games as a starter. 13 year old veteran in the majors. 5.58 ERA, 129 pitched innings, 140 hits, 80 runs, 31 home runs and 105 strike outs. The last game was a defeat, Happ did not play against the Dodgers.
My Free Pick & Prediction for Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Yankees 08/26/2019 is: take the New York Yankees -1.5 (runline).
Enjoy today's free pick and (hopefully) another winner! Please note that the prediction you see above is my own personal opinion only. It is not a prediction from The Whale or any of the professional handicappers from Whale Sports.

As Justin Moore said, "Bait a hook!" The American Cancer Society has an exciting fundraiser coming up Saturday, April 27th in downtown Owensboro. It's the 4th annual Catfish Tournament and local fishermen and women will be loading their boats into the Ohio River and competing for the biggest catches!
The ACS Catfish Tournament is Saturday, April 27th in downtown Owensboro. It's a fishing tournament that will award prizes to the top 5 participants! Registration begins at 5:15am and boats go out onto the Ohio River from 6:30am to 2:30pm.
Cost to enter is $100 per boat and teams of three will compete (only six rods allowed per boat). Boats MUST have a live well. Winners will be based on the weight of fish caught and teams will be limited to FIVE fish per team. All fish must be ALIVE at weigh in and all fish will be released. NO stringers or baskets are allowed.
If you have questions about the tournament, contact Josh Vanover at 270-231-6819.

[VIDEO] Encryption: A MOOC on the Fundamentals of Cryptography That's Not Cryptic
To improve the accessibility of our content, please find the audio version of this blog post.
https://blog.st.com/wp-content/uploads/Encryption-A-MOOC-on-the-Fundamentals-of-Cryptography-That's-Not-Cryptic.mp3
A MOOC on Cryptography or Why We Care
We recently updated our MOOC on Cryptography for newcomers and seasoned engineers by diving deeper into the most common algorithms used today. The video below starts by talking about symmetric cryptography, meaning that the system only uses one secret key for both encryption and decryption operations. The video explains the significant characteristics of symmetric encryption, such as the algorithm, block size, and key size, as well as why these methods are so popular on microcontrollers. Since they use permutations, substitutions, shifts, or XOR, which all run very efficiently on Cortex architectures, it is common to use them in embedded systems. The course also looks into their limitations and their use in the industry. For instance, encrypting identical blocks with AES, without using salt, always gives the same result, which represents a vulnerability. The course, therefore, explains how to deal with it and make an application more secure.
Security remains an important topic in 2020 because the number and sophistication of attacks force engineers to be vigilant and proactive. One of the advantages of the STM32 series of MCUs is that many models offer a crypto core to accelerate AES algorithms, thus ensuring developers can use this method without a negative impact on performance. Additionally, the increasing popularity of secure element help protects the keys used in encryption and decryption operations, opening the door to features such as the Secure Module Install on the latest STM32H7. To better take advantage of the hardware and software security features we offer, we combined our tools under our STM32 Trust initiative.
Asymmetric Encryption or How to find a Public Key Within a Private Key
The other half of the video pertains to asymmetric cryptography, meaning that it uses a pair of public and private keys. This type of method is prevalent when dealing with services and technologies that rely on the web. The course looks at the two significant algorithms from this category, RSA and ECC, as well as their advantages in terms of security, but also their broader impact on computational resources, which explains why it is very rare to employ these methods when dealing with big data and IoT. At each step of the lesson, the instructor also goes to a command-line interface to ensure users and students can visualize the concepts at hand. For instance, the instructor shows what the private and public keys contain, before using OpenSSL to generate a private key to show how it's possible to extract a public key from it.
Encryption in Transport Layer Security or Applying the ST MOOC to the Web
There are currently six videos in the MOOC, the last three going into practical considerations. For instance, the last video takes all the fundamentals covered by the coursework and uses them to explain TLS (Transport Layer Security) management, which is so ubiquitous on the web. The instructor looks more specifically at the handshake between two terminals to understand what happens before the exchange of encrypted data. Put simply, it's an excellent example of how the multiple use of public and private keys protects the exchange of certificates to help keep the web safe. The class comes with a PDF containing the slides used by the presenter as well as hands-on code, which makes it easy to replicate the demonstrations.

I would like to invite local employers, training organisations, colleges and 6th forms within the Preston areas to attend this event, exhibit your organisation and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to meet young people with specific emphasis on those from Penwortham Priory Academy.* It will enable pupils to make direct contact with exhibitors and raise awareness of the changing nature of the post 16 options on offer in the future.
The event will run from 9.30am until 2.30pm on an year group carousel basis ensuring continuous attendance througout the day. Pupils will have a pre-event briefing and a series of questions to ask exhibitors to ensure a day of engaging sessions. Exhibitors are encouraged to bring along any ambassadors or apprentices along with any inter active actitivities.
*other schools will be invited to attend during the day of the event.

In Elizabeth Bear's All the Windwracked Stars the last of the Valkyries has come to the last city at the end of time, to reclaim the ancient swords of her dead brothers and sisters It all began with Ragnarok, with the Children of the Light and the Tarnished ones battling to the death in the ice and the dark. At the end of the long battle, one Valkyrie survived, wounded, and one valraven the steeds of the valkyrie. Because they lived, Valdyrgard was not wholly destroyed.
Because the valraven was transformed in the last miracle offered to a Child of the Light, Valdyrgard was changed to a world where magic and technology worked hand in hand. 2500 years later, Muire is in the last city on the dying planet, where the Technomancer rules what's left of humanity. She's caught sight of someone she has not seen since the Last Battle Mingan the Wolf is hunting in her city.
Bear was born on the same day as Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, but in a different year. This, coupled with a childhood tendency to read the dictionary for fun, led her inevitably to penury, intransigence, the mispronunciation of common English words, and the writing of speculative fiction. Bear was the recipient of the John W.
Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2005. She has won two Hugo Awards for her short fiction, a Sturgeon Award, and the Locus Award for Best First Novel. She is the author of the acclaimed Eternal Sky series, the Edda of Burdens series, and coauthor (with Sarah Monette) of the Iskryne series.
Bear lives in Brookfield, Massachusetts. Kate Reading is the recipient of multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards and has been named by AudioFile magazine as a "Voice of the Century," as well as the Best Voice in Science Fiction & Fantasy in 2008 and 2009 and Best Voice in Biography & Culture in 2010. She has narrated works by authors as Jane Austen, Robert Jordan, Edith Wharton, and Sophie Kinsella.
Reading has performed at numerous theaters in Washington D. C. and received a Helen Hayes Award for her performance in Aunt Dan and Lemon. AudioFile Magazine reports that, "With subtle control of characters and sense of pacing, Kate's performances are a consistent pleasure."
Download All The Windwracked Stars as e-book
Modern smartphones and computers can read files of any format. But the most compatible is the *.PDF format. For example, the all-the-windwracked-stars.pdf can be read Mozilla Firefox browser without any additions.
Of course not. Best of all, if after reading an e-book, you buy a paper version of All the Windwracked Stars. Read the book on paper - it is quite a powerful experience.

The Incorrect Museum: Museum of Conceptual Art
In 1970, Tom Marioni founded the Museum of Conceptual Art (MOCA) in San Francisco. On the opening night, he presented the exhibition Sound Sculpture As, which included a range of sound-based installations. Marioni announced to the crowd that he would perform Allan Fish's Piss Piece for him—then climbed a ladder, faced the wall, and urinated into a bucket below. As the metallic bucket filled, the pitch of the sound changed, manifesting the work art. Unbeknownst to the audience, Marioni was, in fact, Allan Fish. He used the pseudonym when performing in the exhibitions he curated.
In the coming years, MOCA became a convening ground for the artists who defined the Bay Area's unique approach to conceptual art. While conceptual artists in New York focused on language and systems, Marioni and his circle focused on "actions," using humor and the artist's body to challenge the sterile aesthetics of the New York conceptualists. The exhibitions at MOCA combined site-specific installation with performance, or "actions," and included artists such as Paul Kos, Chris Burden, Bruce Nauman, Terry Fox and Linda Montano.
These artists often convened at MOCA for Marioni's Wednesday night free beer salons. These gatherings—where artists drank, laughed and discussed ideas—were conceived by Marioni as "social artworks," meant to blur the boundaries between art and life.
"I am fascinated by art that can only be seen if you know it is art." — Tom Marioni

am I remembering my school days wrong or does the lord's prayer in welsh end in am oes oes oes? for ever and ever?
I can remember saying that too but we were both mishearing "yn oes oesoedd".
Ah, like et in saecula saeculorum.
Could this be translated as 'forever'? If not, what is the correct welsh for that?
A good on-line English to Welsh dictionary is geiriaduracademi.org. Perhaps a better both-ways one for learners is gweiadur.com, but you need a userid and password - send a mail to info@gweiadur.com and ask for one.
am byth is quite common for 'for ever'.
As in "charcar", neu happy for life, after e.e Priodi?
Yes i.e "Bydd o yn y carchar am oes" (He'll be in prison for life). Note that it's "Carchar" not "Charcar".

It was over ten years ago now in March 2004 that I first sampled the delights of Derbyshire at a Mystical Weekend in the Nightingale Centre, Great Hucklow.
In those days I was a relativley new member of a worldwide Mystical Order and the idea of a 'Weekend Retreat' amongst strangers was unfamiliar and rather daunting.
I recall a moment of panic on my way to this remote spot as the bus from Sheffield headed deeper and deeper into the Derbyshire wilds… 'It's in the middle of nowhere,' I thought with mounting hysteria, 'we could all be murdered in our sleep and no one would ever know…' I can now smile at such momentary fears brought on no doubt by a teenage staple of Dennis Wheatley and H.P. Lovecraft but there is a legitimate question here for those with no experience of such matters.
Well that depends of course on which particular school is running the retreat and what the particular brief or theme for the weekend is.
My first retreat was a heady mix of group and private meditations, and informative and engaging talks and presentations by members of the Order of which I was then part.
But that is to describe only the formal aspects of such events; there is usually between the scheduled programmes plenty of time to commune with fellow participants or if one prefers time enough, to simply be alone with nature in the peaceful surrounds of the centre.
…In 2011 and now under the aegis of a Magical School but again back at the Nightingale for a weekend retreat our lodge staged a four act dramatic ritual which focused on the search for the philosopher's stone.
Very 'Harry Potter' and all rather grand sounding but really it is just a group of life-affirming people with common purpose exploring together the notion of that which is more than the sum of its parts.
The dramas are script led and no prior experience is assumed.

You could enjoy watching your edge-of-the-seat favorite sport, game or race, but if you undoubtedly desire to add some serious green spice to your hobby then you can definitely start betting on them.win-every-time.com You need not be a gambling pro since you can readily earn while you learn with sports online betting.
However, if you are in the United States then you'll have to check if the site at which you plan to bet has got the necessary clearances otherwise it might not be legal for you to bet at such sites. Some sites provide the services of a middleman for US citizens however, you will have to make sure that this move isn't illegal or risky since all your winnings will first have to be received by the middleman before they can be transferred into your account.
You should first recognize that basketball and football are mostly based upon betting lines whereas horse racing, hockey and baseball, among others are based mostly on odds. Thus, it is imperative that you quickly learn to correctly interpret each betting line and calculate odds if you wish to convert most of your bets into winning ones. It's also advisable to play only with the most notable sports betting sites so as to better your odds of winning higher amounts. These basic tips will help you begin smoothly and earn as you find out about the finer nuances of internet gambling. There is a free sports betting system and also very honest tips at GertGambell.net – also concerning the back side of sports betting when bookmakers do not accept being drained and drained for cash by winners.
You can begin out by placing straight bets before entering into the exciting realm of parimutuel betting with over/under, spreads, totals, parlays, teases, etc. This will turn each bet into an exciting one while allowing you to win additional money too. In addition to accepting plastic cards, each sportsbook that you play with must also feature an e-check facility to safely transfer money to your account.
It's also advisable to search for sites that offer free or premium sports betting picks because these picks are based on the expertise of experienced handicapping managers and can enable you to place informed bets. You can also acquire rich tips from sites such as sportsline that is a goldmine in supplying the latest news in sports and the betting world. It's also wise to utilize all of the freebies offered by various online betting sites in order to reduce initial expenses while getting invaluable experience simultaneously.
While betting in the old-fashioned way would entail trying to find actual sports books and visiting them repeatedly to put your bets and to check up on the list of winners, sports online betting on the other hand will demand only a few clicks and a few minutes before you start betting. The good thing is that you can earn while you learn whenever you employ betting picks from within your gambling arsenal even as you quickly turn into a betting pro yourself.


University of New Mexico former Athletics Director Paul Krebs acknowledged misleading UNM's leadership and donors, as well as newspaper reporters, about a 2015 golf fundraising trip to Scotland, according to a newly released batch of emails.
He also on multiple occasions tried to thwart the state's public records law, the emails show.
Although Krebs retired from the state's largest university amid scandal more than a year ago, he looms large in a UNM "transparency report" issued Thursday by the state Attorney General's Office.
The 32-page report outlines what it calls a "disturbing pattern of concealment and deliberate misrepresentation" at UNM, and includes more than 20 pages of Krebs' emails and a three-year rundown of transparency complaints filed with the AG.
The report comes about 15 months into Attorney General Hector Balderas' wide-ranging financial investigation into the institution.
Balderas has not concluded the criminal investigation – and he said last month that there is no timetable for its completion – but the new report focuses on what it calls "specific instances regarding a lack of transparency" identified during the probe and through the complaints.
The AG's Office has investigated 11 complaints about UNM's compliance with the state's Open Meetings Act and Inspection of Public Records Act since 2015, according to the report.
In conjunction with the criminal investigation, they "form the basis for the conclusion that UNM has failed to ensure that the citizens of New Mexico are given the greatest possible information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts" of public officers and employees.
The report, authored by Assistant Attorney General Dylan Lange, said UNM does not have adequate internal processes for complying with the state's public records law.
Although the document details the AG's determinations and recommendations in individual cases, the report itself does not give UNM any overarching direction.
UNM spokesman Dan Jiron said the university takes the matter seriously and understands it can only fully serve its mission if it has the public's trust.
Krebs' emails dominate the AG's report.
In one, he writes he "was not forthcoming with the press" regarding the 2015 Scotland golf trip fundraiser for which UNM used about $25,000 in public funds to pay the expenses of private donors. In others, he directs staff to delete emails and other documents.
The Scotland revelations triggered Balderas in May 2017 to launch his investigation, though the scope has broadened to include many other UNM matters.
Krebs retired shortly after details of the Scotland trip became public.
The Journal had requested Krebs' emails included in the AG's report, but several were not released after UNM's legal counsel allowed Krebs' personal attorney to first go through and remove some of them before fulfilling the public records request.
A message seeking comment from Krebs and his attorney, former UNM Regent Gene Gallegos, was not answered on Thursday.
In a July 26, 2017, email from his UNM account – which he was still allowed to use after retirement, as are all UNM retirees – to the UNM email account of his wife, who still works there, Krebs asks her to print and deliver an anonymous letter to the University of New Mexico Foundation explaining a $25,000 donation made to UNM.
Krebs had publicly announced two months earlier that an anonymous donor had given UNM $25,000 to help pay the university back for the public money used for the Scotland trip.
He directs his wife to give the letter – signed simply "The Donor" – to UNM Foundation executive Larry Ryan.
Between May 25, 2017, and July 27, 2017, the Journal sent four emails to UNM or the UNM Foundation requesting a copy of the check and proof "The Donor" asked that it specifically be used to cover the portion of public money used for the Scotland trip. UNM never complied with the Journal's written requests.
The AG's report also highlights four Open Meetings Act complaints made against various UNM bodies, including the well-publicized allegation that the Board of Regents violated state law with a nonspecific agenda for a July 19 meeting at which it initially voted to cut several sports programs.
After the AG issued an opinion that the board had violated the law, regents ultimately repeated the meeting.
The report also addresses seven complaints regarding UNM's compliance with the Inspection of Public Records Act.
