Arthur, Henry Bartle Compton
Son of John Rayner Arthur of Hartley Wintney, late of the Bombay Civil Service, and one of three Wykehamist brothers. His mother was the Hon. Aileen Spring Rice. He entered Mr. Bramston's House from Mr. Arnold's school at Wixenford. He went up to New College, Oxford in 1896 but with the South African War breaking out before he had completed his course, he took his degree early; and on the recommendation of the Vice-Chancellor was appointed to the Royal Artillery.
He subsequently saw many years service in India and was stationed there when the war started. Within a few months he was ordered to Europe as Adjutant to the 5th Brigade of Artillery (Lahore Division) in the Indian Expeditionary Force. He arrived in France on 7th November 1914 where the Indian Expeditionary Force were holding a stretch of the Western Front in Artois. Promoted to Captain in December 1914 he was involved in actions at Festubert, Givenchy and Neuve Chapelle between November 1914 and March 1915.
In 1915 he was given the command of 64th Battery, which he held till his death, rendering distinguished service; he was twice slightly wounded and three times mentioned in Despatches. The Battle of the Somme started on 1st July 1916 and caused horrific numbers of British casualties. Arthur's division was assigned to the 4th Australian Division, relieving the Australian Field Artillery in a place known as Sausage Valley and his battery was on the north east slope of the valley. The War Diary of the 5th Brigade indicates that the valley came under heavy shelling on 10th August and he was killed near Ovillers-La-Boisselle, while attending to one of his subalterns who had been mortally wounded by a shell bursting in the battery position. He and three other officers were buried a few yards from where they fell.
Major Arthur was a keen student of the theory and practice of war and a man of scholarly tastes. A prize essay of his on the comparative value of regular and irregular troops in war was published in 1908 by direction of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff.

Billy Bova on China: Corporate America Should Not 'Dance with the Devil,' Bring Jobs Back to U.S.

Billy Bova, a Democrat supporter of former President Donald Trump, said greed and cheap labor are the reasons American corporations continue to operate in communist China despite the country's threat to the United States and its continued human rights abuses, including slave labor.
"It's just for the sake of greed and making money they're willing to dance with the devil and the devil is Red China," Bova told Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel.
"American corporations are global and they they want to do it over there and do it cheaply," Bova said, citing billionaires Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos as examples of corporate leaders who cozy up to the Chinese Communist Party for business gains.
"Corporate American] can't seem to get off the dance floor with with China," Bova said.
The fore-mentioned billionaires aren't alone in doing business in China. Hundreds of U.S. businesses produce goods there, including Nike, Boeing, and Starbucks.

Breitbart Washington D.C. Bureau Chief Matt Boyle spoke with Bova about how American corporations should resolve in 2022 to bring jobs back to the United States.
"The fundamental question really should be why are we making all this stuff in China and India and elsewhere around the world instead of here in the United States," Boyle said.
Bova said his New Year resolution is to make sure elected officials are working for the American people.
"My New Year's resolution is to see our federal government start working … for hardworking American taxpayers that are trying to play by the rules and make a living and increase the standard of living for their children and grandchildren," Bova said, adding he wants to make sure "leaders in Congress and White House and everybody else keep their feet to the fire and make them perform for us."

Richard "Dick" Buechner, 92
Published 4:07 pm Friday, April 29, 2022
Richard Emmons Buechner, 92 of Austin, Minnesota, passed away at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale, Minnesota on April 21, 2022.
Dick was born on June 26, 1929 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Raymond William and Eva Viola (Emmons) Buechner. The family lived in the St. Paul area until moving to Austin when his father went into the lumber business. It first was called Tomlinson Sawmills, and later became Buechner Lumber Mart and was located on Hwy 218 South. Dick attended junior and senior high School in Austin and went on to attend Dunwoody Institute from 1947-1948 for drafting and estimating.
In the Air Force, Dick graduated as an Aviation Cadet Class 52-C at Enid, Oklahoma. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant, and went on to fly F-86 Saber Jets in Korea in 1953.
On May 12, 1952 he was united in marriage to Jeannine Beverly Waldron. Dick and Jeannine lived in Valdosta, Georgia; Las Vegas, Nevada; Cheyenne, Wyoming and Denver, Colorado. In May of 1953 they settled in Austin where they raised their family of three children. After the lumber yard was sold, Dick and Jeannine purchased the Austin Dairy Queen in May of 1965. They owned and operated it together for 17 years.
Dick was Mower County Commissioner from 1971-1978. After selling the Dairy Queen in 1979, he sold real estate for the Fawver Agency from 1980 – 1986. He delivered motorhomes across the US for Winnebago from 1986-1989. After that, he worked for Anderson Memorial until leukemia slowed him down at the age of 80. To keep busy during his working career, he also substituted as a school bus driver, plowed snow, and sold Christmas trees on the Dairy Queen parking lot.
Over the years, Dick was active in the Austin Community. He was past commander of DAV, Past Patron of Eastern Star, Austin's Snow King in 1973, past President Who Who (Lumberman organization), and 1986 Exchangite of the Year (Exchange Club). Dick was a member of the Austin Flying Club, and 70 year member of the First United Methodist Church.
Dick's hobbies included: family, friends, flying in his Cessna, fishing, racquetball, golf, and traveling around the United States and the world. Dick and Jeannine were able to take all seven of the grandchildren (at different times) on cruises to the Bahamas.
A fond memory was when Dick and his great-grandson Graham Kunert (leukemia and retinoblastoma, respectively) were selected as honorary survivors for the Austin Relay for Life Cancer Walk in 2013. Dick blessed his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren with countless memories of joy, laughter and love that will be treasured forever.
He was preceded in death by his wife Jeannine in March of 2021; his parents and brother William.
Dick is survived by his children, Cathy Rieber (Mark) of Santa Rosa, California, Rick Buechner (Elaine) of Hastings, Minnesota, and Mike Buechner of Hanover, Minnesota; grandchildren, Emily Heinzelman, Erica Kunert, Carly Rieber, Kara Lachner, Jackie Buechner, Nathan Buechner and Brian Buechner; great grandchildren, Oliver Heinzelman, Jaxson Estopinal, Graham Kunert, Eva Kunert, Charlie Kunert, Annie Kunert, Ridley Lachner, Brody Lachner, Jackson Williams, Mackenzie Williams, Fritz Buechner and Patrick Buechner. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Phyllis Waldron, and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (givenow.lls.org), www.leukemiafoundation.org or donor's choice.
A Celebration of Life honoring Dick will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 11, 2022 at Clasen-Jordan Mortuary with military rites by Olaf B. Damm Post #1216 V.F.W. and Austin Post #91 American Legion. Visitation will be held from 10:00 am to 11:00 am prior to the service. Interment will be at Oakwood Cemetery.

The G-BEC, originally designed by GRC for use by UK MOD, is an intelligent power supply system that ensures your vehicle will always have sufficient battery voltage to power the ignition. It provides auxiliary power to the vehicle-fitted communication system via two power outlets while also protecting the vehicles own power supply.
The G-BEC is designed for use with two UBI-2590 rechargeable batteries.
When the vehicles engine is running, the G-BEC supplies power to the in-vehicle communication equipment, while being trickle charged from the vehicle battery. When ignition is cut the G-BEC unit will continue to draw charge from the vehicle battery until a predetermined voltage level is reached, at which point the G-BEC maintains power to the communications equipment; this ensures sufficient charge remains in the vehicles own battery to guarantee the engine will start.
The G-BEC battery status along with a charge indication is available via an LED display.

Oil and Gas Investor-State Dispute Settlement: Is Mediation-Arbitration Considered a Mechanism for Common Interests?

International oil and gas investment disputes constitute an important part of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system. Investment arbitration which is regarded as a prevalent dispute settlement mechanism in this area has come under severe criticism since it creates huge costs, lengthens the process, and devastates the parties' long-term investment relationship. In recent years, the possibility of applying alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and hybrid dispute settlement mechanisms has largely been discussed. Mediation-arbitration (Med-Arb) is one of the hybrid integrated dispute settlement mechanisms which embodies flexibility, nonjudicial, and negotiate-oriented benefits of mediation and the finality advantage of arbitration simultaneously in a single process. In this method, mediation is first attempted by the parties before arbitration could be started; if settlement is not reached during the mediation phase, the appointed neutral or mediator will then act as (an) independent arbitrator(s), will continue the case under the arbitration process, and will render a binding arbitration award. In this method, if parties reach an agreement during the first phase (mediation process), they will not incur huge costs of lengthy investment arbitration. In this method, even if the first stage (mediation process) fails, since it has further clarified and narrowed down the disputes, then the arbitration process will be less lengthy and proceed more efficiently. Moreover, both investors and host states in oil and gas investment area do have strong ambitions to maintain the investment relationships. These goals are achieved better via adopting Med-Arb proceedings. The most noted concerns in this method relates to the issue of the impartiality of the neutral (mediator in the first stage) who acts as an arbitrator at the next stage. In other words, it may be argued that the confidential information learned by the neutral from the parties in the mediation stage may seriously impact on his/her impartiality in the arbitration stage. This issue can be responded in light of respecting party autonomy principle which selects the Med-Arb clearly and correctly for dispute settlement. This approach is affirmed and proposed by the UNCITRAL model law on international commercial conciliation (2002) as well. Also, concerns regarding the enforcement of international agreements resulting from mediation have already been addressed in the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (Singapore Convention on Mediation), which has attained international acceptance by 51 state members so far.

CLN6 Mutations May Lead to Batten Without Vision Loss, 3 Cases Show
by Marta Figueiredo PhD | January 13, 2022
Mutations in the CLN6 gene — which have been associated with different forms of Batten disease — may lead to the development of an atypical form of juvenile Batten that does not cause vision loss, according to a study reporting the cases of three patients from two Greek-Cypriot families.
Notably, a new, de novo (non-inherited) disease-causing CLN6 mutation was identified in one of the patients, likely marking the first of such reports. De novo mutations are those that, instead of being inherited, appear for the first time in a person.
These findings, highlighting a link between CLN6 mutations and atypical forms of juvenile Batten, further support the variability of Batten forms and symptoms caused by mutations in this gene. The researchers noted that mutations in more than a dozen genes have been associated with the disease.
The study, "A Novel CLN6 Variant Associated With Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis in Patients With Absence of Visual Loss as a Presenting Feature," was published in the journal Frontiers in Genetics.
Batten disease, the most common group of pediatric neurodegenerative disorders, is characterized by vision loss — due to damage to the retina — as well as progressive cognitive decline, motor impairment, loss of coordination (ataxia), and seizures. Of note, the retina is the light-sensitive inside lining of the eye that contains photoreceptors that transform light into electrical signals.
February 26, 2021 News by Joana Carvalho
Vision Loss in Juvenile Batten May Be Due to 'Maintenance' Failure
The disease is divided into four major types based on the age of symptom onset: infantile (6–24 months), late-infantile (2–4 years), juvenile (5–10 years), and adult (18 years and older).
To date, scientists have linked Batten to different mutations in more than 13 genes. Those in the CLN6 gene have been linked to late-infantile and juvenile Batten, and to the very rare adult form of the disease.
Now, a team of researchers in Cyprus described the cases of three male patients from two unrelated Greek-Cypriot families who showed an atypical form of juvenile Batten disease caused by CLN6 mutations that did not lead to vision loss.
The first patient, who was followed until he was 28 years old, showed cognitive decline at age 6 and mild ataxia when walking. Those symptoms progressed over time and four years later, he experienced his first seizure. Seizures worsened during his adolescence and continue to occur on occasion.
He also developed severe motor disabilities, spasticity, which is stiff or tight muscles, and swallowing and speech difficulties.
The two other boys, brothers who were born of consanguineous parents (biologically related to each other), developed their first symptoms at ages 6 and 7. Their main clinical characteristics included ataxia when walking, spasticity, speech difficulties, involuntary spasms, and intellectual disability.
At those ages, the boys had no history of seizures, one of the main symptoms of CLN6-associated Batten, the team noted. The family was subsequently lost to follow-up.
Notably, none of the three patients had initial evidence of visual problems, contrasting with what is typically seen in pediatric forms of Batten.
However, at 18, the first patient showed reduced visual acuity and signs of retina damage.
Genetic testing revealed that the first patient carried a previously reported mutation, called p.Arg136His, in one of the CLN6 gene copies, and a new, de novo mutation, called p.Tyr295Cys, in the other.
"To our knowledge, this is the first report of a de novo variant in CLN6," the researchers wrote.
The siblings were found to have the p.Arg136His mutation in both copies of the CLN6 gene. The presence of two p.Arg136His mutations was previously reported in a consanguineous Turkish family, whose Batten disease was not associated with seizures.
To better understand the effects of the identified CLN6 mutations on protein structure and function, the researchers then conducted prediction and structural analyses.
They found that both p.Arg136His and p.Tyr295Cys mutations resulted in a change in one amino acid, the build blocks of proteins, which was considered to promote structural changes in the resulting CLN6 protein. Both mutations were deemed likely disease-causative.
"Protein structural analysis displayed a possible explanation of how these variants may affect the binding activity and the function of the CLN6 protein and consequently cause the disease," the researchers concluded.

This week, I saw an ad in my Facebook newsfeed from an organization called "Missouri Rural Crisis Center" asking for my opinion on the state's minimum wage laws.
I had heard of the Missouri Rural Crisis Center (MRCC) before. They are active in my part of the state, telling farmers how they should operate their business and pushing for a return to one cow, one sow and one plow types of operations. They're mostly progressive activists partnering with people with a farming background that didn't make it through the tough times of the 1980's. Their policies are mostly driven by the bitterness of the progressive left.
The Missouri Rural Crisis Center's connection to progressive groups is not surprising. They're often pushing for Medicaid Expansion through Obamacare and have many ties to groups like the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) and the ACLU. To say that MRCC does not represent our rural values would be an understatement.
Is it any wonder, then, when Missouri Rural Crisis Center comes knocking on the door of our rural legislators or our county commissions throughout rural Missouri, they are met with opposition? This organization does not promote the values and conservative principles that we hold so dear in places like Chariton County.
However, the Rural Crisis Center has access to big money grants coming from folks like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, the socialists that own Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and even the Missouri Foundation for Health and the Greater Kanas City Community Foundation. Several of the largest grants they receive are from organizations receiving millions of dollars from George Soros. These are not organizations or people popular here in rural Missouri.
Earlier this year, the Missouri Ethics Commission investigated the Missouri Rural Crisis Center. Rep. Jay Houghton alleged the organization was perhaps trying to circumvent the disclosure of their lobbying activities for tax purposes. Brian Smith with the Missouri Rural Crisis Center then finally registered to lobby after years of performing that type of work for MRCC. Often, progressives think they are above the law.
For this reason, I am starting a letter writing campaign, and I hope you will join me, too. I am going to write to any one that I know is supporting the Missouri Rural Crisis Center and ask them to defund MRCC. They do not represent our rural Missouri values and only exist to threaten them. Perhaps these organizations will listen to my plea or maybe they will ignore me. However, as a farmer – it is too important for me to not try to stop and organization that threatens my way of life.

Have you ever had the experience of an issue that keeps recycling? A recycling issue is one that keeps coming up over and over. It could be the trust issue between marketing and legal or the drama between your CFO and the EVP of Operations. It could also be specific issues like the quality of one particular product that never meets expectations or one customer that never seems satisfied.Recycling issues are not just a professional problem; they're personal as well. You and your wife talk over and over about her mother and every time you do an argument erupts. Your 10 year old just won't do their homework no matter what you do. You keep recycling your own issue around exercise and weight loss.Recycling issues sap huge amounts of energy in organizations, teams, families and leaders. Conscious leaders have learned the key to ending recycling. The key is to pay more attention to context over content. If we just pay attention to content the issue will keep coming back.All leadership is a conversation. All conversation has content and context. Content is "what" we're talking about and context is "how" we're talking about it. Content is what a video camera would capture or the transcript from inside your own head. It is the stuff that we're fighting about, or laying awake at night thinking about or talking to our coach or therapist about.Context is the way we are being with the conversation. To assist leaders in understanding this concept we introduce them to the idea of above and below the line. Above and below the line are contexts. When I'm above the line I'm open, curious and committed to learning. When I'm below the line I'm closed, defensive and committed to proving I'm right.When marketing and legal teams talk about what they can and can't say in marketing materials—that's content. Whether their conversation is occurring with openness, curiosity and a commitment to learning or defensiveness and wanting to prove I'm right—that's context. Great leaders pay attention to where people are speaking from and they invite people, beginning with themselves, to wake up and become conscious of context.Whenever we're below the line issues will keep recurring. So the first task of leadership is to invite people to identify context. The second task of leadership is to invite people to shift their context to above the line. What leaders discover in themselves and in their organizations is that as people spend more and more time above the line issues resolve themselves faster and don't come back.
What are we talking about?What are the issues? Who's right?
Where are we? Above or below the line?Are we willing to shift?
For more information on the value of paying attention to context as much as content check out our latest video.

Ranveer deepika: Newlyweds Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are back in Mumbai after tying the knot on November 14 and 15 in Italy.
Newlyweds Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are back in Mumbai after tying the knot on November 14 and 15 in Italy. The photos of the couple from the Mumbai airport have been doing the rounds on various fan pages. The actors even posed with some fans after landing at the airport.
Both Deepika and Ranveer were seen dressed in ethnic clothes and matching glares at the Mumbai airport. The duo is getting ready to throw two receptions for their friends and family. The first reception will be held in Bengaluru on November 21 in The Leela Palace. While the second reception will be held in Mumbai on November 28 in The Grand Hyatt.
The DeepVeer wedding was a lavish but intimate affair. The ceremonies took place in an Italian resort overlooking the picturesque Lake Como. It was attended by around 40 guests who were personally received by the couple with handwritten notes. While the first wedding was done in Konkani style, the second wedding followed the North Indian tradition. For the Konkani wedding, the best South Indian chefs were flown in from India. The guest were later served food on banana leaves.
Ever since Deepika and Ranveer themselves took to social media to share photos from the wedding, their friends and family members have been posting pictures from the wedding as well, much to the delight of their fans.


So the Silvia and ECM's Casa V are quite similar in many areas. Similar size, appearance, they both use heavy, commercial size 58 millimeter portafilters, brass boilers mounted over substantial group heads, and both have three-way solenoid valves. They even use the same Ulka vibration pump.
The first major and well obvious difference? The Casa V has a brew pressure gauge and the Silvia does not. And that's a fairly big deal. The brew pressure gauge lets you know your espresso is extracting properly, that you've dialed in the sweet spot of variables like grind size and coffee dose. Now related to that is another major difference. The OPV, the over pressure valve, is easily adjustable on the Casa V. Just pull the cup warming tray and the adjustment is right there. Frankly, on the Silvia, adjusting the OPV is such a pain in the you know what that we do not recommend average users even try to adjust it. The case must be removed and then it takes a bit of contortion to actually make the adjustment. But with no pressure gauge on the Silvia there's no way of knowing what you'd even be adjusting it to.
Now for most users there's very little need to adjust the OPV. But if you want to experiment with different max brew pressures, the adjustment is easy to access and easy to monitor with the gauge on the Casa V.
Both machines have brass boilers mounted over the brew group. Boiler volumes are thirteen ounces for the Casa and twelve ounces for the Silvia. So very close in size. What makes a difference are the heating elements in those boilers. The Silvia's is 993 watts while the Casa uses a more powerful twelve hundred watt element.
Looking at results of performance testing we can see where those extra watts make a difference. First up is time to steam temperature. I tested each machine 4 times and the Casa was a heck of a lot faster reaching steam temp as indicated by the machine, getting there in an average time of one minute, four seconds. The average for the Silvia was one minute, 45 seconds. Now that's a rather significant difference. Do a latte a day and over the course of a year that's like an extra 4 hours of waiting for steam with the Silvia.
To measure actual steaming performance I steamed six ounces of cold milk until a digital thermometer read one hundred forty degrees. That took forty seconds on the Casa and 45 seconds on the Silvia. So a slight edge to the Casa. And incidentally for those of you using frothing thermometers stopping steaming at 140 resulted in an actual finished temperature of about 160. So if you want to hit milk's sweet spot in the 140s like I do, stop steaming before you see that temp on the thermometer - most all of them have a bunch of lag.
The steam wands on both machines are similar although the Casa uses a two hole tip while the Silvia has a single hole tip. There's five inches of clearance under the Casa's wand and three and three quarters under the the Silvia's. No problem getting a standard twelve ounce pitcher under either but some users may appreciate the extra space under the Casa's. One last note on steaming. As single boiler's it's essential both of these machines be cooled down after steaming by refilling the boiler. Failing to do so could result in damage to the heating element within the boiler. To cool down and refill the boiler turn the steam off, open the steam valve and turn on the water switch until a stream of water and no steam is dispensed from the wand. When you get that turn the water off, close the valve and you're good to go.
Next up I wanted to know how consistent the brew water temps were. But first a note. In most cases both the Casa and the Silvia should be flushed prior to attaching a portafilter and brewing. Both machines when up to brew temp produce some steam and overheated water from the group and you don't want that hitting your coffee. So before measuring temperature I flushed each machine until flow from the group was calm with no indication of flash boiling or sound of steam. Then I measured the temperature of four ounces of brew water dispensed into a paper cup. I did this five times on each machine and the results were incredibly consistent. Average for the Casa was 185.8 and the Silvia came in at 185.66. Honestly I was kind of amazed at just how similar the results were. Now keep in mind those results do not reflect actual brew temps. That brew water just falling through the air into the cup cools rapidly. You can expect ten to fifteen degrees hotter on the coffee when brewing to be in that 195- 205 range appropriate for espresso.
Looking at the cases of the machines the ECM is more refined with a mirror finished case and close tolerances where panels meet. It has a larger and more sophisticated drip tray with high quality finishing even extending to the internal welds. The Silvia's drip tray is a shallow pan resting on painted iron that forms the base framework of the machine and extends up the sides. Overtime that paint will chip exposing bare iron that's likely to rust. On the Casa, the drip tray rests on stainless steel so rust will not be an issue down the road.
In overall size, the Casa is about an inch narrower, an inch taller and two inches deeper than the Silvia. It has a ninety-four ounce water reservoir versus seventy-four ounces for the Silvia. The portafilters are similar in weight but the Casa's in my opinion has a finer look reflecting the upscale luxury brand nature of ECM's more expensive prosumer level machines.
Now there's no reason to think that one machine would produce a better espresso than the other. They use the same Ulka pump and are remarkably consistent in brew temperature, so long as you do those flushes. But the Casa does give you extra tools to work with. The pressure gauge to help you zero in on better extractions and an easily adjustable OPV. Again, the machines are capable of equal quality espresso, But the Casa V can help get you to better espresso faster.
Another difference is in steam performance and finish quality. The larger heating element in the Casa means less waiting for steam and many users will appreciate the extra clearance under the steam tip. As for finish quality, The extra details are clearly evident on the Casa V. A mirror finish, stainless steel, especially in high use areas like the drip tray slides and close tolerances where body panels meet. There's no doubt that over time with use those painted iron rails on the Silvia will chip and there will likely be some rust. That's just not going to happen on the Casa V's stainless components.
Now it's pretty obvious the folks at ECM took a look at Rancilio's venerable Miss Silvia and said hey let's make a machine that's a little better. Where they successful? Well In my opinion, with better steaming times, the pressure gauge, easy OPV adjustment and more refined casework yes, they were successful. Now do keep in mind ECM's Casa V does cost a little more. Prices change, but right now it's about one hundred sixty dollars more. Is it worth it? I think so but in the end of course that's for you to decide. That's the ECM Casa V and the Rancilio Silvia. Both available now at Whole Latte Love.
As always if you have any questions use those comments down there and I'll be sure to get you the answers.Thanks for reading and I hope to have you back soon for more of the good stuff on everything coffee brought to you by Whole Latte Love.

In 2009-2010, the Ecole Française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO) built a new library on the grounds of its Chiang Mai Centre. In July 2011, the library was officially opened to the general public by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.
The collection, some 45,000 monographs and 40,000 issues of periodicals in Thai as well as western languages, constitutes a major resource for research in Buddhism and the history, anthropology, and art of Southeast Asia.
The reading room, with its windows looking into a tropical garden, provides researchers with a quiet, open workspace well equipped with reference works and electronic resources. WiFi access is free. The reading room also provides space for seminars and colloquia. Office space is being made available for resident scholars and students. Opportunities for scholarly funded residence are provided by the European Consortium of Asian Field Study (ECAF).
The library forms part of the EFEO's rich documentary network including collections in Paris as well as the EFEO Centres in Siem Reap (archaeology), Hanoi (Han-Nom culture, contemporary history, ethnic relations), and Vientiane (regional history and anthropology).
Starting in 2012, the library will make rare documents available in digitized format. An additional mission of the library is the acquisition of Thai works for the collections of the EFEO library in Paris.

New gemology students often fuss over inconsequential data when identifying gems for the first time. In the process, they miss important clues. Getting practical experience is vital. In order to help make the transition from the textbook to the real world, I've created a gem identification quiz series. These "What is it?" quizzes are designed to be as realistic as possible. Hopefully, they'll give student gemologists a better idea of how to proceed based on the information at hand. In this manner, they'll learn not only the process but also time saving shortcuts.
You'll find the first gem identification quiz below. The rest of the series is available to those enrolled in the International Gem Society (IGS) Professional Gemologist certification course.
A customer brings you a green, transparent stone (shown above) and wants to know if it's an emerald or a peridot. Peridot is her birthstone, but she know emeralds are much more valuable! With fingers crossed, you begin your examination.

Getting the most out of ground-floor units
Dec.December 27, 2010 02:38 PM
Though they are often considered undesirable because of their location, a ground-floor apartment can have hidden benefits, brokers say. "The stigma is usually they think it's a little bit dark, and they assume there's a security issue and they also assume it's a little bit loud if it faces the street, but not all of them do," Josh Cohen, an agent at the Real Estate Group of New York, told NY1. "Unfortunately someone might overlook something like that and they may be overlooking a good deal or good value." Though many buyers assume that a ground floor unit is undesirable, many are in the back of a building and are situated behind a doorman, so they are secure and private, Cohen pointed out. Also, units on the first floor generally, sell for less and have a larger layout than apartments on higher floors. "A lot of the time, typically in prewar buildings you'll see third, second and first floor have higher ceiling heights, larger floor plates because typically they are used as doctors offices or other commercial use so now that these are used for residential, you get a lot more bang for your buck," said Frances Katze, an executive vice president at Prudential Douglas Elliman.

After years of hovering at record lows, New Jersey's home prices are poised to increase in 2013.
According to an article in The Record ("Appraiser sees NJ home prices rising in 2013, after long slide," Oct. 26, 2012), New Jersey appraiser Jeffrey Otteau said he expects prices to rise gradually, taking until 2020 to return to 2005 levels.
The article reads in part, "'the recovery in the housing market is only just starting,' said Otteau, of East Brunswick, whose housing forecasts are followed by the real estate industry. He said demand is stronger in Bergen County than in Passaic, which has been hit hard by foreclosures and other economic distress in the cities.
"According to Otteau's calculations, New Jersey home prices have been basically flat this year. By contrast, the S&P/Case-Shiller index, which uses different ways to track prices, found New York metropolitan-area values dropped 2.6 percent from July 2011 to July 2012, its most recent figures.
Otteau said that after dropping roughly 27 percent since the peak of the housing boom in the mid-2000s, New Jersey's median home prices will increase about 3 percent in 2013, owing in large part to heightened demand. As prices climb, prospective buyers will throw caution to the wind and buy the homes they have been eyeing, he added.
Would-be buyers won't all have the ability to purchase a home this year, however, said Otteau. Many will remain on the sidelines as lenders are requiring large down payments, high credit scores, and relatively high incomes, he added. That leaves many of New Jersey's un- and underemployed out of the loop. Although the state is adding jobs on a regular basis, it is still suffering from high unemployment, with the state unemployment rate at 9.8 percent in late 2012.
The hurricane swept away a number of Jersey Shore houses and submerged portions of Hoboken and Jersey City. "The governor has said that more than 30,000 homes and businesses were destroyed or sustained substantial damage from … the storm, and 230,000 New Jerseyites have registered for Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance," according to the article.
According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional fixed-rate mortgage fell to a record low 3.38 percent in October from 3.47 percent in September; the rate was 4.07 percent in October 2011.

Prstenjačenje je seksualna stimulacija vagine ili stidnice (i klitorisa) prstima. Vaginalno prstenjačenje u pravu i medicini zove se prstna penetracija ili prstna penetracija vagine. Prstenjačenje može se odnositi i na seksualnu stimulaciju anusa prstima.
Osoba može izvoditi prstenjačenje na sebi, čime se izvodi čin masturbacije, ili na seksualnom partneru. Kada čin izvodi seksualni partner, smatra se oblikom zajedničke masturbacije i analogan je tzv. handjobu (ručnoj stimulaciji penisa). Prstenjačenje može se izvoditi za seksualno uzbuđivanje ili kao predigra, a može biti i potpuni seksualni susret ili vrsta seksualne aktivnosti bez penetracije.

Stimulacija

Stidnica

Dijelovi stidnice, posebice klitoris, su erogene zone. Masaža stidnice, posebice klitorisa, najčešći je način na koji žene mogu postići orgazam. Studije pokazuju da 70-80% žena zahtijeva izravnu stimulaciju klitorisa za postizanje orgazma.

Vagina

Iako vagina nije posebno osjetljiva u cijelosti, u njenoj donjoj trećini (područje blizu ulaza) koncentrirani su završeci živaca koji mogu pružiti zadovoljavajući osjećaj kada se stimuliraju tijekom seksualnih aktivnosti.

Prstenjačenje vagine često se izvodi s ciljem stimuliranja područja koje se ponekad zove G-točka. G-točka se navodno nalazi približno 5 centimetara uzduž prednjeg zida vagine, prema pupku. Prema opisu može se prepoznati po rubovima i grubljoj teksturi u odnosu na mekanije zidove vaginalne šupljine koji ju okružuju. Prstenjačenje tog područja i moguća stimulacija Skeneove žlijezde najčešće su navođene metode postizanja ženske ejakulacije.

Doktori preporučuju pranje ruku prije kontakta s vaginom da bi se osigurala higijena.

Anus

Analno prstenjačenje može biti zadovoljavajuće zbog velikog broja završetaka živaca u analnom području i proširivanja mišića analnog sfinktera kod umetanja prsta. Preporučuje se korištenje lubrikanta za povećanje osjećaja i olakšavanje umetanja prsta. Prstenjačenje može biti samostalni seksualni čin ili može prethoditi analnom seksu. Analno prstenjačenje može uzbuditi primatelja čime se anus može opustiti za umetanje penisa ili nekog seksualnog instrumenta.

Analno prstenjačenje efektivan je način stimulacije prostate kod muškaraca, što može dovesti do orgazma.

Analno prstenjačenje može kod žena stimulirati perinealnu spužvu.

Sigurnost
Prstenjačenje se najčešće smatra sigurnim seksom, ako ne postoje otvorene rane na prstima. Nokti moraju biti skraćeni i obli; dugi i oštri nokti mogu prouzročiti porezotine, ozljede i infekcije.

I pretty much needed maternity clothes as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I don't know what happened but the moment I took that test my bump grew instantly.
It's really difficult to find maternity clothes that are stylish, don't make you look mumsy and are affordable. The maternity fashion I like has come from; ASOS, H&M, Topshop and New Look. So here are a few pieces I have picked up over the last 6 months of my pregnancy.
1. SOS Maternity Exclusive Midi Bodycon Dress In Lace with Scoop Neck, Now £21 I think a black lace dress is a staple for your wardrobe even when you're not pregnant so I wanted to add this dress as soon as I found out. It's simple but yet elegant and is the perfect dress for the festive season.
2. ASOS Maternity Exclusive Shift Dress in Speckle, £38 I am planning on wearing this dress on Christmas day. It has a speckle finish and is nice and thick to keep me warm. I also love the self tie waist detail to give my figure a bit of definition.
3. Maternity Knitted Dress With Lace Collar, £35 I remember when Kate Middleton was preggo and she wore a very similar dress to an event, she had her hair tied back in a ponytail and the dress looked casual and perfect for a daytime or evening look paired with thick black tights and ankle boots.
4.ASOS Maternity Exclusive Legging With Elastic Waist Detail, £25 I have always had black leggings in my wardrobe and being pregnant meant that it was no exception. I love that these leggings are ultra thick and stretchy and will definitely keep me warm through winter. Paired with a chunky jumper and ankle boots would make the perfect daytime outfit.
5. ASOS Maternity Exclusive Dress In Breton Stripe With Button Shoulder, Now £21 I purchased this dress in the navy/emerald colour which is perfect for over the festive season. I love jumper dresses as they are super comfy, It's all about being comfortable.
6. Maternity MOTO Mid Stone Leigh Jeans, £38 I must own about 4 pairs of Topshop NON maternity leigh jeans, they are super stretchy, comfortable and look good with almost everything, the maternity range of leigh jeans is no different. I am going to purchase a darker pair soon.
A few basic items above..
1. New Look 3 Pack T Shirts, £17.99 These basic t shirts are perfect for layering and have the longer sleeves for the colder months. I would advise any pregnant lady to purchase these as they come in a multi pack and are super cheap for the quality. New Look offer various different designs in their multi pack ranges.
2. ASOS Maternity 80 Denier Tights, £8 Made from stretch nylon fabric these tights offer support for your bump as well as comfort as it has an elasticated waistband. I purchased the 80 denier finish as it's cold at the moment and staying warm is vital to me.
3. H&M MAMA Knitted jumper, £29.99 I was really struggling to find an outfit for my work Christmas party and at last minute I ran to my local H&M and purchased this knitted jumper. I love how this jumper fits my bump and it also minimises it (which is good, as my bump is HUGE) The beaded detail around the collar brings a festive vibe to the jumper.
4. ASOS Maternity Exclusive Breton Stripe Top In Colourblock, Now £8 I purchased this casual Breton stripe t shirt to wear around the house as my casual top. I love the fabric as it is thicker than your usual t shirt material so it keeps me warm and I'm a sucker for stripes!
5. Marks and Spencer Footglove™ Suede Panelled Boots, £45 I almost had a breakdown yesterday when I was getting ready to go out, not one of my boots fit me. Pregnancy has made my feet swell so I made a mad dash to Marks and Spencer's and purchased these ankle boots. I picked them up because they can look great with trousers or dresses and come with a little heel. The zip fastening was also a must as my bump is getting bigger I'm finding it difficult to put my shoes on. I also like the suede finish too. I purchased a half a size up from my normal size and they fit like a glove!
I love the items that I've purchased, but I need more! Can you recommend any maternity clothes that can get me through the last 4 months of pregnancy?


According to my father, our family descends from the Golden Horde and the warriors who swept across Asia and Europe many centuries ago.
On my mother's side, my grandfather was one of seven brothers who emigrated from France in the late 19th century, each to a different country – Brazil, Australia, Canada, the USA, England, Greece and Egypt (that's my branch of the family).
Seems I've followed in their globetrotting footsteps.
I've been on the road most of my life, having left my birthplace in Paris to take my first European trip on the Orient Express when I was five weeks old (I did bring my parents along). I haven't really stopped since.
That's a kincajou in Panama, and I'm afraid it's peeing on me – and I don't quite know what to do about it.
I've been an expat forever, first in Canada and then in Spain, where I grew up, returning to Canada for university (McGill, anyone?). I also spent time – from months to years – in Italy, Iran, Algeria, Switzerland, Thailand and France, which is now my home, the first time I actually live in the country of my birth.
A few years ago I quit my job/relationship/apartment and took off for Cape Town with a one-way ticket for six months of solo travel. I was gone more than three years and ended up visiting 26 countries on five continents. Solo travel for women wasn't so common in the mid-nineties, and times were 'interesting' – we had no cellphones or viable Internet, and while I had rudimentary email, few others did so I had no one to write to.
I've loved being on the road (most of the time).
I've worked as a journalist and foreign correspondent much of my life although I now work for an international development agency talking to journalists rather than being one. Each job has taken me on the road, in different ways.
Yet despite my ancestry I'm not the most likely traveler at all.
I'm pushing 60 (pushing energetically and by the time you read this I may have pushed it well over the edge), I get motion sick on most transport (but spend a good part of the year on buses, trains and planes), I can't swim (I've almost drowned once and it doesn't stop me from kayaking) and I have vertigo (so yes, I hike in the mountains but sometimes feel compelled to close my eyes – not recommended).

Funny thing – I had no intention of writing a blog, not ever.
For years I've been happily running Women on the Road, this blog's sister website, to help women with the nuts and bolts of solo travel: how to plan a trip, how to stay safe, what to take, how to budget, how to avoid getting lonely – all the things you face before, during and after you travel.
The website doesn't really get personal or talk about my own travels and thoughts. I had no way to reach out to you and if something made me happy or sad or evoked any kind of feeling, I had no place to put it. Enter this blog, also called Women on the Road, which is my personal travel space. This is where we can have a conversation and together, where I can help empower women to get out there and see the world.
Women have to travel differently than men, and like it or not, it's less safe for us out there. IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY.
I detest any form of discrimination, and Women on the Road is my way of helping end that discrimination.
If I can inspire women to travel independently, strongly, proudly and safely, that closes the gap a bit. The more of us get out there and claim the world, the more we will assert our right to do so. Women travelers, especially those who travel solo, shouldn't be seen as exception, odd or different – we should be considered normal. No one questions how or why a man travels on his own, do they?
I'm not done with travel, not by a long shot.
I still love to travel solo, and whenever I travel with others I always make sure I build in some solo travel time, taking a day off to explore by myself, adding a few days on my own to a trip, or if it's a real shortie, just taking myself out to dinner – so I can let you know what it's like being on your own in that destination.
As you can see I still have a huge slice of world to see!
Sicily: I've visited once but briefly, and I'd like to spend a bit of time on the island, especially tasting the food.
Uzbekistan, for the architecture and because I've always wanted to see Central Asia. Actually, anywhere in Central Asia would be good.
Botswana and Namibia for the wildlife and wide open spaces.
Sri Lanka because it was off-limits for so long and it looks stunning.
Crossing the Sahara, although I'm afraid that's becoming impossible. Timbuktu would normally have been on my list but there's no going there now. I'll settle for a tour of the Moroccan Sahara.
Vietnam and India: no, I've never been.
Myanmar, for the seventh time.
Japan, because I've only been to two cities, and absolutely want to visit the fish market in Tokyo and the cherry blossoms.
The Galapagos, because of the endemic wildlife.
Madagascar for the same reason.
Siberia, although the fact that it's in Russia probably pushes it off the list – too much officially sanctioned discrimination there these days.
Mexico, which I visited 30 years ago and loved. And… the food!
Arizona – the Grand Canyon, Sedona… I'm sure it's lifechanging.
Central Turkey and the Turkish coast: they're areas I don't know and my father's family comes from Turkey.
Iran, where I lived for a while as a child and whose people I remember as charming and incredibly hospitable. From what I hear they still are.
Australia and New Zealand – shouldn't everyone?
…and perhaps I'd better stop or I'll get carried away. Frankly, there are few places I don't want to see!
I'll keep you updated so please sign up so we can stay in touch!
Well done, Leela – it's hard sometimes to break away from the behavior that's expected. I love solo travel because I feel empowered – I like being in the driver's seat and deciding where I'm going, when, how and with whom. I don't always travel solo, but it wouldn't occur to me to NOT travel because I was on my own, and that's the message I like to share – you don't have to travel solo but if you are on your own, please don't let that stop you!
I hope you'll visit the Women on the Road website – it's full of practical information on solo travel that you might find helpful.
I'm so glad to have found your site and your book. Although at this point I am not traveling alone, my husband and I have decided to sell everything on ebay and become citizens of the world in our retirement. I started a blog called Just a Backpack and a Rollie to share our adventures, what I'm learning about traveling on the cheap and inspire others, both couples and singles, to hit the road while they can. I know so many single older women who think they can't travel solo. Your book is perfect for them. I'll be following all of your great information. Thanks.
Thanks for your kind words, Nancy. Sounds like a great adventure you're about to begin, congratulations! It takes a lot of courage to do what you're doing but you may be surprised at how easy it becomes once you're on the road. There are others like you – for example GypsyNesters, whom you might have come across in your readings. I've subscribed to your blog and I look forward to following your adventures – you have a great and entertaining writing style!
Thank you for sharing How to Write Travel Stories That Sell. Lots of good tips I plan to put to use. Currently researching for winter 2013 trip to parts of southern Africa and preparing to pitch to a few places. Been a solo woman traveler for over 30 years and a blogger over four years. It's about time I got paid for some of this.
Thanks for writing, Gaelyn, I'm glad you found it useful. Winter 2013 sounds great – and I see South Africa is working hard to attract tourism. I loved the region: I'm most familiar with South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi; I never made it to the southwestern part of the continent, which I'm told is magnificent (Botswana and Namibia). I'm sure you'll fall in love with the region! I spent about four months traveling around and have been back to South Africa a number of times, but I have yet to see the entire country. I hope you snag plenty of assignments!

Qualcomm's new in-screen fingerprint reader is bigger and faster
Enlarge / A very exaggerated image of Qualcomm's sensor. It is not this big.
Qualcomm is launching a new in-screen fingerprint sensor for smartphones, the "Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor Gen 2." Qualcomm says its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor "will be available in new sizes that are 50% faster and 77% larger compared to Gen 1," but it still seems pretty small compared to a fingerprint. Just as the Gen 1 version appeared in the Galaxy S10 and S20, there's a good chance you'll see this sensor in the upcoming Galaxy S21.
In-screen fingerprint readers can be fast, accurate, and reliable, provided you actually hit their center, which can be a challenge. Being under a smooth, flat pane of glass means there's no tactile guidance for where to stick your finger. Early generation fingerprint readers have been pretty small, requiring pinpoint accuracy to hit the sensor. An in-screen fingerprint reader big enough to never miss, even without looking, would be a huge improvement, and while we've seen companies talk about a product like that, no one has shipped one to the market.
In December 2019, Qualcomm made it sound like it had met the goal of making a huge fingerprint reader by announcing the "3D Sonic Max." It sounded like a revolution, with a claimed 30mm×20mm surface area, which is so big it was possible to scan two fingerprints side by side. I don't think you'd ever want to do that, but the point is just that you would never miss the scanning area because it is so large. The 3D Sonic Max has yet to see a commercial release, but Qualcomm tells us it will ship in a product before the end of 2021.
Enlarge / Qualcomm's first-gen sensor in the Galaxy S10, next to a fingerprint. The S20 had the same sensor.
Ron Amadeo
With OEMs dragging their feet on major leaps in fingerprint reader size, maybe incremental change will get Qualcomm more customers. I measure my fingertip at about 14mm×14mm, but Qualcomm's first-gen sensor, available on the Galaxy S10 and S20, only measures a sliver of your fingerprint, with a 9mm×4mm scanning area. At only 8mm×8mm, this second-gen version is still not what I would call a "full fingerprint" sensor, but there is a bigger vertical target now. Qualcomm's art, above, seems to greatly exaggerate the scale of the sensor relative to a finger, showing what I would measure closer to a 20mm×20mm sensor.
It's also important to point out that Qualcomm doesn't have a ton of business for its fingerprint readers right now. While every smartphone company on earth uses Qualcomm modems, and Android OEMs ship a ton of Qualcomm SoCs, there's pretty much only one company that ships Qualcomm fingerprint readers: Samsung. The vast majority of Android phones use optical in-screen fingerprint readers, usually from Goodix or Synaptics, instead of Qualcomm's solution.
But speaking of Samsung, it sounds like this fingerprint reader will be inside the Galaxy S21, which launches this week. Last month, plugged-in Samsung leaker Ice Universe said the Galaxy S21 fingerprint sensor would be ultrasonic and measure 8mm×8mm, which lines up with the specs Qualcomm announced today. After shipping Qualcomm's first-generation fingerprint sensor in 2019 and 2020, a fingerprint sensor upgrade is well overdue for the Galaxy line.
