Network Rail has announced that it is working with technology startup nPlan to use machine learning technology across its portfolio of projects, which has the potential to transform the way major rail projects are delivered across Britain.
Through using data from past projects to produce accurate cost and time forecasts, the partnership will deliver efficiencies in the way projects are planned and carried out, and improve service reliability for passengers by reducing the risk of overruns.
In a world-first for such work on this scale, Network Rail tested nPlan's risk analysis and assurance solution on two of its largest rail projects – on the Great Western Main Line and the Salisbury to Exeter Signalling project – representing over £3 billion of capital expenditure.
This exercise showed that, by leveraging past data, cost savings of up to £30 million could have been achieved on the Great Western Main Line project alone. This was primarily achieved by flagging unknown risks to the project team – those that are invisible to the human eye due to the size and complexity of the project data – and allowing them to mitigate those risks before they occur at a significantly lower cost than if they are missed or ignored.
The machine learning technology works by learning from patterns in historical project performance. Put simply, the algorithm learns by comparing what was planned against what actually happened on a project at an individual activity level. This facilitates transparency and a shared, improved view of risk between project partners.
Following the success of this trial, nPlan and Network Rail will now embark on the next phase of deployment, rolling out the software on 40 projects before scaling up on all Network Rail projects by mid-2021. Using data from over 100,000 programmes, Network Rail will increase prediction accuracy, reduce delays, allow for better budgeting and unlock early risk detection, leading to greater certainty in the outcome of these projects.
Network Rail's Programme Director for Affordability, Alastair Forbes, said: "By championing innovation and using forward-thinking technologies, we can deliver efficiencies in the way we plan and carry out rail upgrade and maintenance projects. It also has the benefit of reducing the risk of project overruns, which means, in turn, we can improve reliability for passengers."
Dev Amratia, CEO and co-founder of nPlan, said: "Network Rail is amongst the largest infrastructure operators in Europe, and adopting technology to forecast and assure projects can lead to better outcomes for all of Britain's rail industry, from contractors to passengers. I look forward to significantly delayed construction projects, and the disruption that they cause for passengers, becoming a thing of the past, with our railways becoming safer and more resilient."

The Quaranta is a spacious 34-meter and economical superyacht catamaran launched in 2013 by Curvelle in Turkey.
The yacht was developed in cooperation with Logos Marine shipyard. The exterior and interior styling were done by Lila-Lou Design in London.
One of the features of the Quaranta is the mobility access for wheelchairs. Thanks to enough space in the interior, a lifting platform (that also can carries vehicles, tenders including passengers, mini submarines or serves as a bathing platform) and an internal elevator up to the sun deck. The bathing platform lowers 85cm below the sea level.
The Quaranta has a very flexible interior to change the arrangement to your personal requirements. In standard arrangement, she has six double cabins. The beds can be turned into single beds or sofas. Sliding walls can make it to big cabins with sitting places. Curvelle touts with over 20 possible layouts on one yacht.
What are the advantages of a motor powered catamaran?
A catamaran swims on thin twin hulls. The result is less resistance in the water. So the yacht needs less fuel consumption. You can run a catamaran with 30 – 35 % more efficiency. The yacht has more beam and has more space than a monohull yacht in that class of length.
Guest accommodation: Flexible: 6 double cabins, 3 suites or any combination. Crew can change on demand.


Throughout the (long) process of making this paper, this blog has been my processfolio. In here I've put my weekly achievements and my thoughts and challenges about the project. But this blog's most important task was being my draft place. I had big problems not knowing what to write or how to start, so I used this space to just write about whatever I found, without having to really find a place for it. Now, as I put my paper together, I'm taking all these short posts and seeing how they work together and expanding them a little bit.
Thank you (a.k.a. Ms. Scott) for taking the time to read it!
Tomorrow, Wednesday January 14th, is time for Jake to decide if I can have Formal Approval. I think I will, my project just needs some edits and he needs to revise it.
I have the Exhibition Night on Thursday (January 22nd) so in this last week I need to read and re-read and re-read my paper, make sure it looks pretty, give it to Jake for correction and create the personality quiz that I will make available for visitors. I've found a website where I can create a quiz, and I'll use it through the iPad I've asked the school for. The questions will help determine if the person has a retributive or an utilitarian personality. From there, I'll explain what those concepts mean and how I used them in my project. I think this is a more fun way of engaging people in a discussion.
I decided to create my own charts instead of using images from the internet. They're don't look perfect, but this is as far as I can go considering that I'm technologically disabled.
Here's a bit of what I have so far. It's missing the last two chapters and the conclusion, which I'm editing. I also need to add the Table of Contents and Bibliography when I'm done.
When I'm a little more certain about my other chapters I'll upload them as well.
In exactly one week, on January 14th, I have to give in my project to get Formal Approval. Unfortunately, I can't say I've finished it… I'll probably just say that on the 14th, because, like I said, I just never feel like I have enough research. So I'm constantly finding new things to read and write about, and rewriting what I already have.
I intended on doing a lot of work on my project during Winter Break, but I couldn't do as much as I expected. I mainly did some more reading, and worked on setting the structure of my paper. I'm going to meet Jake this week, so he can see what I have, and I want to ask him about what the paper should look like, how to print it, etc. I also want to ask about what interactive activity I should do during the Exhibition Night. I've already mentioned here that I wanted to do some activity with visitors that will provide an interesting way for them to learn about my paper. I thinking of using an iPad app to create a quiz, or something similar.
I've started to rewrite my introduction because as my project developed I realized that I'm very interested in the history of crime and punishment and the transition to incarceration. So what initially was in my introduction, is now part of a chapter about the creation of a penitentiary system and its initial principles.
– Throughout history, the view on how to establish justice has often changed. However, in all their different ideologies, civilizations have never disregarded that a system of justice is crucial to the control of society, and most importantly, that punishment is even more valuable to the maintenance of that system. When dealing with human nature, the 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria claims that "neither the power of eloquence nor the sublimest truths are sufficient to restrain, for any length of time, those passions which are excited by the lively impressions of present objects" (Beccaria, 9). Driven by these "passions," or instincts, men are just like children; no warning of danger or parental plea is more compelling than a threat of punishment when trying to stop a child from acting upon an impulse. The effectiveness of punishment as a tool of control is sustained by the fact that the desire of self-preservation lies at the very core of human nature.
I will then go into the topic of the different types of punishment: utilitarian and retributive.
One of the biggest challenges in this project has been limiting my research. Every time I search for something, I find something else. It seems like I can never get the amount of knowledge I need to make this a powerful and accurate paper. Last week I found the book Discipline and Punish, by Michel Foucault, and it is taking me back to a part of my paper that I thought I had already finished.
For my project I decided to get an early start into the world of law, the career I plan on pursuing. For that reason, I researched about a subject that has always bothered me: incarceration. My research paper uncovers the problems of the current penitentiary system in the United States from a philosophical point of view. It scrutinizes the American system of incarceration by analyzing what philosophers, like Cesare Beccaria, and more recent documents, like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, claim about the treatment and punishment of citizens.
Yesterday, December 10th, was Human Rights Day, as declared by the United Nations. During our Cultural History class we took a look at The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or a list of thirty rights that the UN believes every human being is entitled to, for the simple reason of being human.
These rights are simply a declaration of the UN beliefs and impose no official constraints for countries. However, it is unsettling to read them and spot how many are disrespected by countries all over the world. But what caught my attention are the ones that seem to apply to the American citizens as long as they are not labeled as criminals.
Article 23, for example, establishes equality regarding employment. Nonetheless, many job applications ask about criminal records. Needless to say that the chances of someone getting the job greatly decrease as soon as that box is checked. In 2004, a movement called Ban the Box was created to banish the questions regarding criminal records from job applications and other forms. Even though, the movement has been fairly successful, causing changes in over 45 cities across the world, the discrimination against ex-convicts is still very much perceptible.
Another clearly undermined item is Article 25. Among many other ways in which the government disrespects this article, one that has shocked me the most is the existence of a law that prohibits those formerly convicted of drug related crimes of receiving food stamps and money assistance. Even though states have the authority to change this law, only nine have completely banned it!
One of the big parts of my research is about life after prison. In The New Jim Crow, Michelle Alexander compares the discrimination towards ex-convicts to that suffered by African-Americans under the Jim Crow laws. These are only a few examples that prove her argument.
In thirty years, the American prison population has increased by 500%! Today there are nearly 2.5 million people under incarceration. While this would be the reflection of an awful increase in crime, the crime rates have actually decreased. In these 30 years the crime rate in the U.S. has decreased by approximately 15%. If the crime has decreased, who is being arrested in such vast numbers?
The severity of sentences in the United States is striking. An article by the New York Times tries to unravel the reason for such discrepancy, "Americans are locked up for crimes — from writing bad checks to using drugs — that would rarely produce prison sentences in other countries. And in particular they are kept incarcerated far longer than prisoners in other nations." The same article provides another shocking fact: carrying less than 5% of the world's population, the United States holds 25% of its prisoners.
I've just met with Jake and he helped me get through a part of my writing that had me stuck. We've decided that I should expand my thoughts on all the ideas I mention here, like the theory of social contract, the Code of Hammurabi and Beccaria's philosophy. I'll elaborate on each and explain more clearly their connection to modern incarceration.
"neither the power of eloquence nor the sublimest truths are sufficient to restrain, for any length of time, those passions which are excited by the lively impressions of present objects" (Beccaria, 9).
On Tuesday I met with Jake and we discussed my project and whether I could get approval to present in the 1st round.
I did get approved (yay!), so I'll need to present on January 14th. Here is Ms. Scott's email explaining the whole Preliminary Approval process.
Some ideas of the Code of Hammurabi, while seemingly absurd, resemble the philosophical view of retributive punishment. This philosophy does not view punishment as a bad thing. It agrees that punishment should be enforced in proportion to the crime. Immanuel Kant, for instance, was a strong believer of punishment for the sake of punishment. He argued in favor of a "sacredness" of justice. Therefore, whoever inflicted a man's rights, was harming the principle of justice and should be punished for it.
Opposing that view, is the utilitarian approach (and let my biased opinion be very clear here!). For utilitarians like Cesare Beccaria, punishment is inherently evil, but necessary to avoid unwanted behaviors in society. It should achieve "more good than the evil it represents" (Pollock, 5). Utilitarian punishment aims for deterrence, or the discouragement of criminal behaviors, relying on the effectiveness of the punishment to protect society, rather than its harshness. This deterrence can be either general, when the convict serves as an example to others, or specific, when it discourages the convict him/herself. To avoid crime, they also support the incapacitation and rehabilitation of convicts.
I'm pretty certain about where I stand between these two, but I'm still not sure about where the American system fits in.

Sounds familiar… Maybe like the rights to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." I guess for centuries governments have been chasing this concept of "justice." The problem is, there's a huge disparity between the meaning that each person attributes to this word.
Wednesday, November 12th (just a few days away) is when Jake and I will decide if I will be able to finish my project in time to present in the first round. I finished my Bard essays last week so I have a lot to do to catch up on my project. If we agree that I cannot present during first rounds, my transcript will be sent to colleges with an incomplete… So, I'm going to do my part because there's nothing better than a Sunday at your senior desk and I'll give the updates on Wednesday.
Quote from the movie Alcatraz, would be great to include in a part about the social role of prisons.


Solution: The fix for the 2007 DST issue is included in IVE OS 5.3R7 and above.
If you are using the Secure Meeting feature, upgrade to the following software releases which contain the fix for the DST: 5.2R7, 5.3R10 and 5.4R2.1. These are available in the IVE OS Software download page. In order for the IVE to observe the correct DST schedule for 2007, the recommendation is to upgrade to a supported build that reflects the new DST before March 11th, 2007.
IMPORTANT: You must complete the steps in sections 1.2 AND 1.3 to update the zoneinfo files on your filer.
For a full list of releases in which this issue is already fixed, see Bug 195805.
Filers that have unrestricted access to the NOW Web site can use Method 1.
2.       Method 2 is for customers who would prefer to download the file to a local HTTP server, and then operate the "software install" command without sending an unencrypted username and password through the "software install" command as required in Method 1.
3.       Method 3 is for customers who do not have a local HTTP server and whose filers do not have access to the NOW site.
You must enter your username and password because NOW requires user authentication; replace nowusername and nowpassword with a valid NOW username and password.
2.       Proceed to Section 1.3, "Initializing the new timezone settings".
IMPORTANT: You do NOT need to reboot after running the software install command.
Log in to the NOW site.
3.       Copy the ZIP file to a local HTTP server.
5.  Proceed to Section 1.3, "Initializing the new timezone settings".
8.       Proceed to Section 1.3, "Initializing the new timezone settings".
3.       Map the filer's ETC$ share to a network drive, such as T: on the admin host.
T: is used for example purposes only. Use whatever drive letter you have available.
4.       Use unzip to extract the allzones.zip file into the T: directory.
5.       Proceed to Section 1.3, Initializing the new timezone settings.
IMPORTANT: You must complete these steps to successfully update your timezone info.
Current time zone is Location/YourTimezone <--- The text in italics will be the entered in the next step.
The filer does not have to be rebooted to set the timezone rules.
Do not test this patch on production filers by changing the time forward and back. Manipulating filer time to verify the US DST change triggers Bug 234237. Once you roll the filer back to the current time, scheduled Snapshots will fail. The only way to restore scheduled Snapshot functionality is to reboot the filer.
NetApp engineering has verified that the procedures documented in this article will successfully apply DST settings for 2007.


The course "Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy according to the technic of Monsuri clinic" with Oleksandr Stakhovskyi (advanced level) was held at the Center of Surgical Innovations on 1-3 December 2016.
Tutor of the course - Ph.D. Stakhovskyi O.E., Department of minimal invasive surgery of the National cancer Institute.
Urologic surgeons from different regions of Ukraine and Moldova attended the course. An extensive theoretical program including lectures on the basics of laparoscopic technic, analysis of implementation steps and critical moments in the process of minimal invasive extraperitoneal excision of pancreas was prepared for the participants.
The participants of the course have studied the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy technic by the world famous clinic Institute Mutualiste Monsouris (Paris, France), whose surgeons have prepared and sent educational videomaterials for the express purpose of this course.
The exercises on simulators were maintained according to the special technic, students practiced the main steps of anastomosis application. One day of the course was devoted to the visit to the National cancer Institute, where students had the opportunity to watch 2 surgeries on the excision of pancreas in patients with high-risk disease.
The students had the opportunity to apply acquired laparoscopic skills on the laboratory animals (pigs), to test the high-frequency, plasma and ultrasound equipment from leading manufacturers of surgical equipment during the "vet lab".
The surgeons successfully practiced anastomosis application with the single and continuous stitches, the guidance of the course tutor. The quickest students even succeeded to resect pig's kidney.
The surgeons have received the certificates of the СSI after the completion of the course.
CSI team congratulates the doctors with the successful completion of the course and wishes success!
Looking forward to seeing you at our new courses in 2017!


Borehole geophysics provides a means of evaluating various properties of subsurface rocks, soils and fluids. Probes measuring various, specific properties are lowered into boreholes collecting either continuous or point data. During logging, data is both presented graphically in real-time, and recorded digitally for subsequent review and analysis.
Providing critical information not available through other means of investigation, the use of borehole probes is common for many applications including groundwater and natural resource exploration, and environmental characterization.
EM39: measuring the conductivity of rocks, soils and pore fluids, the EM39 provides an effective radius of exploration of 1.5 m from the center of the borehole. Measurement is unaffected by the presence of plastic casing or conductive borehole fluid.
Gamma39: measuring the emission of natural gamma radiation from subsurface materials, the Gamma39 provides information on relative clay content, assisting with the interpretation of EM39 conductivity data.
EM39S: measuring the magnetic susceptibility response from subsurface materials, the EM39S provides an effective radius of exploration of 1.5 m into the formation. Measurements are not affected by variations in remnant magnetization or the strength of the earth's magnetic field.
BH43-3: providing three-dimensional measurement of transient decay from the borehole, the BH43-3 can be operated, in association with a PROTEM system at surface, to a maximum depth of 2 kilometres.
Data collection and processing associated with all probes, except the BH43-3, is supported by Geonics DAT software. BH43-3 data is recorded directly by the PROTEM Receiver; data processing is available with Geonics GSPX7 software.

Daniel interned with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in their Private Investment Bank and he now works there full-time as a Treasury Services Analyst.
Through the ILR's Employment and Disability Institute, I completed a research internship in conjunction with Israel's Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Finance in Jerusalem, Israel. The research I conducted focused on Israel's national disability policy and ways to encourage and help people with disabilities enter the competitive workforce.
I also had the privilege of participating in a business seminar series with Google at Google's headquarters. I was exposed to the business side of the technology industry through different interactive workshops spanning people operations, tech finance, enterprise and sales. The program allowed me to participate in a competitive case competition addressing Google's current market constraints.
This upcoming fall, I will participate in the Cornell in Washington D.C. program where I will be conducting research on economic development in the D.C. area. Aside from conducting research, I will take classes and work part time within the economics/business industry.
The first semester of my freshman year, I learned of a New York City internship program focused on nonprofit government work offered through the Cornell Urban Scholars Program. I have an interest in law, and, luckily, I got placed with the Legal Aid Society.
The work I did was related to benefits. With a partner, who was also an ILR student, I staffed a hotline for low-income New Yorkers and processed their requests for pro bono legal assistance.
We also helped out on a class-action lawsuit against Domino's and some of its franchises, which were charged with shaving the pay of employees in the back office and paying them as though they received tips. Since I speak Spanish and a lot of the clients were native Spanish speakers, I was able to interview them. After we finished, the case was settled in their favor.
Through the Cornell Global Law Brigade, I took part in a weeklong service learning project in which 32 undergraduates helped low-income residents of a rural community in Panama. We worked alongside Panamanian lawyers, teaching residents about family law and their rights.
It was a cultural immersion experience, too. We got to experience conditions that were different than in this country, so it was definitely eye opening. I applied and received funding from ILR for this experience.
Sabor Latino Dance Ensemble
I tried out for the team because I like to dance and Latin dance is something I really enjoy. It's a good stress reliever and makes me engage in something other than academics. It's very fun, social, and interactive.

If you have been looking for a lively party appetizer or afternoon snack that's easy to prepare, requires no cooking, and delivers maximum flavor, look no further than the super-simple rollup!
Colorful, fun, and easy to make!
But this is more than your average rollup that contains basic ingredients like ham, American cheese, cream cheese, salami, and/or green onions. Instead, today's dish is inspired by some of my favorite ingredients from Thai cuisine.
The energy saving ingredient swap in this recipe is one of my favorites. Instead of cooking chicken in your oven, simply use leftover chicken from other meals during the week, or purchase it at the grocery store – either a rotisserie chicken or a can of white chicken breast meat. All three options work well with the big, bold flavors at play in this rollup.
The tangy lime juice, spicy chili paste, and fresh cilantro really pair well with the crushed peanuts, fresh cabbage, and shredded carrots. If you want to add one more interesting ingredient to the mix, try some sliced fresh Thai basil (though it can be sometimes hard to find).
The only energy really required to make this dish is what the refrigerator uses to cool the rollups. Then again, your refrigerator is the kitchen appliance that tends to use the most energy (since it runs constantly).
Peanuts are a tasty flavor component to this dish to accentuate the Thai inspiration, but feel free to remove it for allergy reasons.
If you aren't a fan of much peanut flavor, use only a sprinkle of crushed nuts on each rollup. And if anyone has a peanut allergy, skip them all together and sprinkle a few toasted sesame seeds on instead.
You can either buy these two ingredients pre-shredded or chop them yourself.
1) Prepare the ingredients as directed in the list above.
We recommend small chunks of chicken for this dish, as it's easier to create a tight rollup.
2) If you use leftovers or rotisserie chicken, dice the meat into very small chunks. If you use canned chicken breast, pull it apart with a fork into small pieces.
Please use caution when using this method to crush your peanuts. If necessary, purchase pre-chopped ones instead.
3) Add the peanuts to a plastic storage bag, and using the flat side of a knife, crush the peanuts.
Whisk the cream cheese until all the lumps are gone.
4) In a mixing bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese.
The fresh lime juice delivers just the right amount of crisp acidity.
5) Add the chili paste, honey, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, black pepper, and lime juice to the cream cheese. Mix together.
6) Fold the green onions, chopped cilantro, and finely diced white chicken meat into the cream cheese mixture.
You'll want a even layer of the spread that covers the entire tortilla so you don't get a mouthful of just bread later.
7) Lay each tortilla flat and spread a layer of the cream cheese chicken mixture over it all the way to the edges.
The same applies to how you add the cabbage and carrots.
8) Add a handful of the cabbages, carrots, crushed peanuts, and a few extra cilantro leaves to each tortilla.
Don't roll it so tightly that the tortilla breaks, but not so loose the ingredients fall out.
9) Roll the tortillas up as shown very tightly, wrap with saran wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Look at those nice, even slices.
10) Slice the rollup as shown with a sharp knife. Serve with an optional garnish of extra crushed peanuts.
Enjoy this playful twist on spicy Thai chicken as a light lunch by pairing it with some fresh fruit!

Congo Peace Framework Incomplete without Follow-on Negotiations, US Envoy
Enough Project Press Briefing
Contact: Jonathan Hutson, jhutson@enoughproject.org, +1-202-386-1618
Washington, DC, and Goma, DR Congo — The "Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Region" to be signed on February 24 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia will only succeed if it is followed up by a robust peace process led by a capable United Nations mediator and strong backing from the United States. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will preside over the signing by Congo and neighboring countries.
Enough Project Co-founder John Prendergast said:
"If not accompanied by the swift appointment of a U.N. envoy and the initiation of a focused peace process between Congo, Rwanda and Uganda led by that U.N. envoy, this Framework agreement will end up having no impact on ending the violence in eastern Congo."
The Framework lays a foundation for two main elements: regional negotiations over key economic and security issues and processes leading to real institutional reform within Congo, in part through what should be an inclusive and impartially mediated Congolese national dialogue.
Enough Project Senior Policy Analyst Sasha Lezhnev said:
"President Obama's second term offers a major opportunity to pursue peace in eastern Congo, the world's deadliest war in 50 years. The administration can take three steps toward a new peace strategy. First, the U.S. should urge the U.N. to appoint a senior envoy with extensive negotiating experience to act as mediator. Second, the U.S. could work with the U.N. envoy to build a peace process to operationalize the commitments made in the Framework. And finally, President Obama should appoint a senior U.S. envoy to support the U.N.-led peace process."
Enough Project Associate Director of Research Aaron Hall said:
"Now is an opportune moment for peace, despite several repeated cycles of violence. The status quo is no longer acceptable, as the international community has finally acted against Rwanda's alleged support to armed groups contributing to the destabilization of Congo and against Congo's lack of transparency in the mining and exploitation of its natural resources. The conflict minerals trade is finally less profitable for armed groups targeting civilians because of legislative and corporate reforms."
If the U.S. and U.N. envoys proactively engage, a peace process would allow Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda to finally address their underlying interests that have fomented conflict and give Congolese civil society a voice at the table to discuss critical internal reforms. The process should also not be a place to extend immunity from prosecution for those who have committed war crimes and mass atrocities. Accountability should be ensured throughout, particularly as it relates to bringing the leadership of M23, including Bosco Ntaganda, to justice, as well as other perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The U.N. Framework establishes several critical commitments that must be addressed in regional talks in order to achieve success. It will be incumbent upon the U.N. envoy to operationalize the implementation of the Framework's commitments.
The Framework's language regarding economic integration should be operationalized through regional negotiations to establish a series of agreements around infrastructure and conflict-free investment priorities. Security measures should also be negotiated to address cross-border threats such as the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, or FDLR, and spoiler elements of the M23 rebel group.
More specifically, violent contestation over the control of the illicit trade in natural resources remains a principal driver of conflict. Already, the profits from the illegal trade in minerals have decreased as a result of market reforms such as the Dodd-Frank legislation on conflict minerals, which has caused the price of the illicitly smuggled minerals tin, tantalum, and tungsten to be one-third the price of conflict-free minerals. Negotiating agreements that will allow for the expansion of the existing conflict-free trade will benefit all regional states. Agreements would be most beneficial around the following: tariff reform, mineral certification monitoring, investment code revision, the formation of specialized economic zones, and transparent concession-bidding processes to incentivize long-term, conflict-free investment in natural resources.
One of the starting points could be finalizing an agreement on the development of the potentially lucrative methane gas reserves along the Congo-Rwanda border. Such an agreement could lower electricity costs for the two countries, which are approximately double those of other regional states.
Several substantive issues raised in the Framework specific to Congo should be discussed in the institutional reform process. These include decentralization, security sector reform, mining code reform, and local reconciliation efforts. Though not mentioned in the Framework, electoral reform should also be a centerpiece of institutional reform.
Because Congolese President Joseph Kabila faces an internal legitimacy crisis, it will be important to closely involve Congolese civil society and political parties in these reform processes, including in the holding of an impartially mediated national dialogue. Those actors should have a prominent voice at the table.

Immigration pressures are increasing in most OECD countries. This article investigates the consequences of immigration for natives' labour market outcomes, as well as issues linked to immigrants' integration in the host country labour market. Changes in the share of immigrants in the labour force may have a distributive impact on natives' wages, and a temporary impact on unemployment. However, labour market integration of immigrants (as well as integration of second-generation immigrants both in terms of educational attainments and of labour market outcomes) remains the main challenge facing host economies. In both cases, product and labour market policies have a significant role to play in easing the economy's adjustment to immigration.

A couple of months ago you couldn't move for blogs with people showing you their "Mannequin Hands". Basically, a mannequin hand is one where you've painted your nails the same colour as the skin of your hand, making you look like you have longer, slimmer fingers. Sadly, my hands are more sausage fingers than mannequin, but this polish – P300 Kismet from Precision – seems to have worked better for me in this craze than some other, more beige shades I've been trying.
Yes, it's a bit frosty – and therefore not a "real" mannequin hand, as you're meant to use a creme shade – and yes, it's a lot paler than I thought the skin on my hands was in the first place, but I do kind of like the shade, I can't deny it. But I also can't deny that this looks dated in the picture, because what you can't really see here is the amazing green/pink duochrome that's in the polish! It's very visible in the bottle, but sadly not on the nail, and not in these pics … The pics have also washed out the shade a little, it's actually slightly more pink than it appears here.
Pics show four coats – I still had some visible nail line, but I can live with it – over an Orly sticky basecoat, and under a layer of OPI Rapid-Dry top coat. The polishes last well, the picture above is several days old now, and there's no chipping or signs of tipwear.
Precision polishes cost £5.95 and are available from Venus nail and beauty supplies. I've not bought from these people though – this polish was a gift – so buyer beware, and all that.
What's your take on mannequin hands?
I regularly buy from Venus. They are excellent. And their Misas and China Glazes are great prices.
I never think of mannequin as quite so frosty/shimmery. I do prefer more opacity with nudes.
I don't really get the mannequin hand thing. Probably because mannequins really creep me out.
I agree, mannequin hands make me squeamish, but these are delicately beautiful!
Ha ha! That did make me laugh, thank you Jasmine!
i LOVE venus nails. they have a ton of super old china glaze and misa for sooo cheap. shipping was way fast toO!

Phillips Lytle LLP Advises on Bank of China Building Purchase in NYC
By Scott Baltic | Commercial Property Executive | 5/18/15
Bank of China Grabs 7 Bryant Park
What started as a lease has evidently become a purchase, as Bank of China, which last year had been negotiating for about 200,000 square feet of office space in Manhattan's 7 Bryant Park, has now purchased the building.
Or at least one can reasonably presume that the purchaser is Bank of China. Friday's announcement that the sale had closed, issued by sellers Hines and institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan, referred to the buyer only as "an institutional investor." Hines did not respond to Commercial Property Executive's request for further information, but the sale had been rumored going back at least to December.
No official figure has been released, but $600 million is generally being cited off the record as the approximate price. The deal involved a long-term leasehold, with minority owner Pacolet Millikin Enterprises Inc. retaining ownership of the land, other media outlets have reported.
Phillips Lytle and Proskauer advised on the transaction. Hines has assumed property management responsibilities, and CBRE will be the building's leasing agent.
The 30-story, 470,000-square-foot building, which was substantially completed at the end of April, is between West 39th and 40th streets on the site of the former 1045 Avenue of the Americas. It features 10-foot finished ceilings and full-height clear vision glass and is LEED Gold Pre-certified. The architects were Henry N. Cobb and Yvonne Szeto of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners.
On April 9, CPE reported that two Chinese insurance companies, China Life Insurance Group Co. and Ping An Insurance Co., had reportedly each committed to put up one-third of the roughly $500 million cost of the Pier 4 project in Boston. The speculative office-and-condo project is being developed by Tishman Speyer, which will own the remaining third through Tishman Speyer Real Estate Venture VIII, which will be the manager.
A Feb. 26 report on Chinese investment in the United States by the federal U.S.- China Economic and Security Review Commission noted that Chinese insurers have a decided preference for stabilized assets and for holding properties over a Photo: Urban Green Council USGBC NY, flickr long term.
"Over the last decade," the report added, "Chinese investors have focused on large 'gateway cities' such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, where assets are pricier but also easier to evaluate and access. In 2014, Chinese investment in New York totaled more than $6.7 billion, with the majority of deals in Manhattan."


Hazrat Wajihuddin Yusuf was a khalifa of the great sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. He was born in the year 1260 at Kalkahari, near Delhi. He spent his early years in Delhi and later on left for Delhi, where he became a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya.
During the reign of Alauddin Khilji, Hazrat Nizamuddin sent Hazrat Wajihuddin to Chanderi to look after and serve the people here. Hazrat Wajihuddin reached Chanderi in 1305 and soon gained thousands of devotees from not only Chanderi but even other places, who began to frequent his khanqah.
The then Governor of the province, Malik Tamar became envious of Hazrat Wajihuddin's popularity and instigated his army to attack the khanqah and the devotees. The situation became so volatile that Hazrat Wajihuddin was advised to move to nearby Lukhnoti. He travelled to Delhi to seek guidance from Hazrat Nizamuddin whereupon he realized that he had been given the responsibility of serving the people of Chanderi and he had to fulfill it. He returned to Chanderi where he built a new khanqah and continued his service till his passing in 1328.
Every year from March 27 to 29, the Urs celebration is organized where his devotees flock to the dargah to offer chaadars and pray for the fulfilment of their wishes. To the left of this dargah are the mausoleums of two other Muslim saints.

Q: How to select a value of a row in a table with jquery? I want to get the value of a row in a table with jquery, when the user click on it.
I have tried this solution, but it doesn't work correctly:

$(document).ready(function() {

                $.post("./php/myjson.php", function(data, status) {
                    obj = JSON.parse(data);
                    var trHTML = '';
                    for (var i = 0; i < obj.giocatori.length; i++) {

                        trHTML += '
	'+obj.giocatori[i].Giocatore+'	' + obj.giocatori[i].Cognome + '	' + obj.giocatori[i].Prezzo + '
';
                    }
                    trHTML+='
';
                    $('#records_table').append(trHTML);

                });
                $( "#records_table tr" ).on( "click", function(  ) {
                      alert( $(this).find('td:nth-child(2)').html());
                });

            });
table tbody tr:hover {
    background-color: orange;
    cursor: pointer;
}

                Squadra
                ID
                Cognome
                Prezzo

Where is the error ?

A: Even though the table exists when the page loads, its contents are loaded after the page loads (after DOM ready event). You want to use a delegated event. Therefore, try this:
$( "#records_table" ).on( "click", "tr", function(  ) {
    alert( $('td', this).eq(2).html() );
});

NOTE: Adding this section -- your version -- in the success call back of the the ajax call after the new content is added should also work.

A: You are keeping tbody in HTML, but adding the content to table. Please change the following.
$(document).ready(function() {
            $.post("./php/myjson.php", function(data, status) {
                obj = JSON.parse(data);
                var trHTML = '';
                for (var i = 0; i < obj.giocatori.length; i++) {

                    trHTML += '
	'+obj.giocatori[i].Giocatore+'	' + obj.giocatori[i].Cognome + '	' + obj.giocatori[i].Prezzo + '
';
                }
                $('#records_table tbody').append(trHTML);

            });
            $( "#records_table tr" ).on( "click", function(  ) {
                  alert( $(this).find('td:nth-child(2)').html());
            });

        });

as well as you can close the tbody in HTML.

                Squadra

Rare Book and Manuscript Library exhibit to feature typewriters used by Hefner, Ebert, Sandburg
Jun 12, 2019 9:00 am by Jodi Heckel | Arts and Humanities Editor | 217-300-2751HumanitiesCampus
The exhibit "Writers & Their Tools" at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library will feature Hugh Hefner's college typewriter. He also used it to write articles for the first issue of Playboy.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Before Hugh Hefner created Playboy, he was a University of Illinois student writing for a campus humor publication called Shaft.
An Underwood Standard Portable typewriter that Hefner used in college, and later to write for Playboy, will be the centerpiece of a Rare Book and Manuscript Library exhibit of writers' tools – "Writers & Their Tools: Parchment-Paper-Processors" – that also will include typewriters used by movie critic Roger Ebert, writer Carl Sandburg and novelist James Jones. The exhibit opens June 17.
"We wanted to do an exhibit where the emphasis was the objects. We have more than books and papers in the collection," said Ruthann Miller, the exhibit's curator.
The tools the authors used to produce their writing are works of art in themselves. Of the six typewriters in the exhibit, all but one are mechanical.
"The Sandburg one is beautiful. It's black and shiny. There's no rust on it," Miller said. "As objects themselves, they are beautiful to look at."
The exhibit also will showcase a typewriter used by Roger Ebert, the editor of the Daily Illini while he was a University of Illinois student.
The library owns the typewriters that belonged to Sandburg and Jones, and those that belonged to Hefner and Ebert are on loan to the library. Hefner's typewriter was sold at auction in December, along with other personal items, and the purchaser of the typewriter, Mark Pepitone, agreed to loan it to the Rare Book and Manuscript Library for the exhibit.
Hefner used his college typewriter to write articles for the first issue of Playboy, including the letter from the editor in which he described the magazine and its intended audience. His daughter, Christie Hefner, said it was groundbreaking in that he identified Playboy as a lifestyle magazine – a word not in common usage at the time – and different from the men's magazines being published then that mostly catered to outdoorsmen.
"He just loved great writing. I love that a number of the other writers whose typewriters are in the exhibit were also in the magazine," Christie Hefner said, noting that both Ebert and Jones were published in Playboy.
Hefner said her father was sentimental and kept an elaborate scrapbook that started with a comic strip he'd written while in high school and in the Army.
"Early on, he'd developed a sense of being an archivist and maintaining things," she said. "Objects, whether his Army uniform or the typewriter, were important memories, and I think he felt they were kind of cultural icons."
The Rare Book and Manuscript Library owns typewriters used by Carl Sandburg and James Jones, which will also be on display. The Hefner and Ebert typewriters are on loan to the library.
She doesn't remember her father using the typewriter during her childhood, but it reminds her of a promotion she organized for Playboy's 25th anniversary. The tables at a fundraising event were decorated with typewriters from the era, purchased from antique stores and spray-painted silver to signify the 25th anniversary. The event was the first fundraiser for student fellowships in journalism at the U. of I. in Hugh Hefner's name.
"The years at the university were important to him," as he found early encouragement there for his writing, Christie Hefner said.
The Hefner display in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library exhibit will include the warranty card for the typewriter on which Hefner wrote his name and Urbana address, a copy of Shaft and the first issue of Playboy.
Sandburg used his Corona Silent typewriter to write the articles that were later published together as a collection titled "Home Front Memo." The exhibit will include a copy of "Home Front Memo" signed by Sandburg; manuscript pages that include notes on the title page design and changes to be made; a photo of Sandburg at the typewriter; and a visor that belonged to him.
The Ebert materials will include the issue of the Daily Illini with Ebert's first byline and the first issue for which he was editor-in-chief.
The warranty card for Hugh Hefner's college typewriter.
The library has two typewriters that belonged to Jones, and one of them is electric.
"It looks more like an early computer than the old-fashioned metal typewriters," Miller said.
Along with Jones' typewriters, the exhibit will include a manuscript of his novel "From Here to Eternity" and a copy of "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries," his daughter's semiautobiographical account of the family's time living in Paris.
The exhibit will also include a unique Yiddish typewriter, owned by the library, with Yiddish characters on the keys.
While the exhibit focuses on typewriters, it also includes the technologies that preceded their use and replaced them. The displays include parchment paper, quill pens and an inkpot; printing plates and metal type from a printing press; and a computer hard drive.
The exhibit will be open through Aug. 30.

U.S. defense giant Lockheed Martin has received a $1.48 billion contract modification for Saudi missile defense efforts.
Lockheed Martin was awarded a $1.48 billion contract modification to build the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system for Saudi Arabia, bringing the total value of the deal to $5.36 billion, the U.S. Department of Defense said on Friday.
"Lockheed Martin Corp., Missiles and Fire Control, Dallas, Texas, is being awarded a firm-fixed-price, $1,473,941,756 modification (P00019) to previously-awarded contract HQ0147-17-C-0032 for the procurement of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Interceptor support items in support of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)," said Department of Defense.
- ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW -
Also added that the period of performance is from July 19, 2019, through July 31, 2023.
According to UPI.com, THAAD provides the missile defense system with a globally transportable, rapidly deployable capability to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles inside or outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal, phase of flight.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency reported in 2017 that the Government of Saudi Arabia has requested a possible sale of 44 THAAD launchers, three hundred sixty THAAD Interceptor Missiles, sixteen THAAD Fire Control and Communications Mobile Tactical Station Group and seven AN/TPY-2 THAAD radars. The estimated cost is $15 billion.
"This potential sale will substantially increase Saudi Arabia's capability to defend itself against the growing ballistic missile threat in the region," said in DSCA's statement.
THAAD's exo-atmospheric, hit-to-kill capability will add an upper-tier to Saudi Arabia's layered missile defense architecture and will support modernization of the Royal Saudi Air Defense Force (RSADF).

It is impossible to generalise. For some people with epilepsy, working with machinery may be quite safe, for others it may be hazardous. It depends on the type of machinery, the work environment and your seizure type.
The object of the HSE Act is to promote the prevention of harm to people at work, in the workplace or in the vicinity of a place of work. The term 'all practicable steps' is used in relation to achieving this result because it is understood that circumstances are many and varied. A person required by the Act to take all practicable steps is required to take only those steps which are reasonably practicable to take in the circumstances, and only in respect of circumstances that the person knows about or ought reasonably to know about.
It is not the intention of the HSE Act to discriminate against people with epilepsy. The Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH) does not expect employers to hide behind the Act as a reason not to employ people with epilepsy.
In considering the extent of the practicable steps an employer might need to take, an employer may be advised to seek guidance from the prospective employee or their doctor. An Epilepsy New Zealand field officer may be able to help clarify any uncertainty.
An employer should consider the likelihood of 'serious harm' should a seizure occur. The doctor can advise or clarify issues of medication and seizure control.
Every situation is unique. In some circumstances it would be foolish to employ someone who was expected to work in an area, situation or circumstance where serious harm could occur as a result of a seizure.
In most cases there would be little if any risk where the work is not particularly hazardous, the employee's condition is well controlled and colleagues appreciate the person's situation and accordingly know how to act.
The Occupational Safety and Health Service of the Department of Labour (OSH) can give further advice.
When Should I Disclose My Epilepsy?
This is an individual decision. Those whose epilepsy is well controlled may choose not to reveal their epilepsy. If you experience frequent seizures it is probably beneficial to both you and the employer to discuss your epilepsy. Talk about it at the interview in a positive way. Seizures will not usually interfere with your performance or attendance.
If you are asked whether there are any health issues, you should mention your epilepsy but concentrate on presenting your skills and qualifications. Sell yourself not your epilepsy. Epilepsy should not be the focus of your interview, but the employer will benefit from an understanding of your particular type of seizure and the implications of this should he/she employ you.
What Happens if I Have a Seizure at Work?
It is your choice whether or not you tell your co-workers you have epilepsy. If you are likely to have a seizure, you might feel more secure if you know they are aware of what to do.
An individual with skills but who has a few seizures is much more employable than someone without seizures who has no skills.
Research has shown that on average, people with epilepsy have fewer accidents than other employees, are absent less and have good job loyalty records. These facts, together with your skills and self-confidence are positive selling points to an employer.

Q: AWS gateway+lambda cold start different for different applications Cold start for aws gateway + lambda from different applications.
I tried to keep the lambda container warm by hitting the api gateway from a different lambda(in parallel for 10 threads). This helps with the subsequent call from the the lambda.
Now when I call from and android app(after warming using the above lambda). It still takes 5 sec for cold start for the first call. subsequent calls are fast again.
My expectation is that if I hit(in parallel for multiple containers) the container and heat it enough, all the apps should not experience cold starts.
Is this expectation valid? Or does lambda has different containers for different applications?

A: The issue was not with aws lambda cold start but with Retrofit in android taking too long for the first call. This is because its taking too long for dns resolution.

Flood mapping for Siksika Nation part of funding announcement
Monday, December 17th, 2018 11:51am
The federal government is providing $8.7 million through the National Disaster Mitigation Program for 18 projects.
They include new or replacement flood mapping for Drumheller, Medicine Hat, Siksika Nation, Red Deer, and more than 100 kilometres of the North Saskatchewan River, including Edmonton.
The province is contributing more than $5 million to the projects as part of the cost-sharing agreement.
"Our government is committed to investing in flood resilience to better protect Albertans where they live and work. The provincial and federal funding for flood mapping and community risk assessments will help us build safer communities over the long term and ensure Alberta is better prepared for severe weather events in the future," said Shannon Phillips, minister of Environment and Parks.
Provincial and federal funding will also be used to assess the potential for debris floods near Canmore, storm water vulnerabilities in Calgary and flood risks in smaller communities such as Manning, Stettler, Lacombe and the Municipal District of Crowsnest Pass.
Projects to improve forecasting and warning systems and improve access and interaction with provincial flood-inundation maps also received funding.
Alberta has launched 13 river hazard studies since 2015. In total, these studies will produce new and replacement flood mapping for over 1,300 kilometres of river through more than 30 communities. Many of these studies are nearing completion.
Since 2013, the Alberta government has invested more than $700 million in community-level resilience projects, erosion control, upstream storage, flood mapping, flood forecasting and emergency preparedness, and watershed health to improve flood and drought resilience across the province.


Important agreements, even between close family members, should always be put into writing by a lawyer as the best means of heading off future discord. The point could hardly have been more clearly made than by a High Court dispute concerning a ramshackle football ground that set father against son.
A businessman had stepped in to save his struggling local football club when it was heavily in debt and had only 109 members. Many years later, however, the fortunes of the club were transformed when its ground was earmarked for development as part of a major urban regeneration project. As a result, the site was estimated to be worth at least £10 million.
The businessman's son and nephew argued that, before the club's purchase, he had agreed that they would each have a 20 per cent stake in the business. A former boyfriend of his daughter also claimed a 10 per cent share. They argued, amongst other things, that the club would not have thrived had it not been for their extensive and gratuitous assistance in running it. The businessman, however, resisted their claims.
In ruling in his favour, the Court was not satisfied that he had promised the three men that they would be part-owners of the club. They had neither been answerable for the club's debts, nor had there been a partnership or joint venture agreement. In the absence of written records, it was also impossible to identify any definite and material financial contribution made by any of them to the club's purchase.
Whilst the Court accepted that they had worked with a view to improving the fortunes of the club, their contribution had not been exceptional and had not been linked to any assurances given to them by the businessman. Following strife within the family, they had some years ago ceased their involvement in the club. The Court concluded that they had no beneficial interest in the club, or its ground.

This documentary on Youtube is the best background I have seen to the plot of "Terminated volume 1 from the slums to the Falklands War"
Here is another Excellent documentary!
It includes some shots of our modern day Commando training. Unfortunately Marine discipline is unlike that described in the film. I would have been a better soldier, if initiative was still more highly regarded than discipline, (never my strong suite).
Modern commando training achieves the same end of making those of us who got the green beret believe they can do the impossible. Hand on heart, war time training looks much tougher.

This will be a long question, so bear with me, I have some explaining to do.
So I've been working on this comic book shader for a little bit. I've gotten it looking the way I want it so I don't really need critique unless you see something glaring that I overlooked. But I am a little unsatisfied with the execution. So I wanted the textures to be in UV Space instead of world space. So I needed to have a way to get the crosshatch textures to appear in my post process scenetexture. I messed with a few methods, but in the end i settled on having the crosshatch be a material function, the thing is The only way to have it appear in my PostProcess is to have it be in the subsurface channel, I split it into the red and green channels so i can control the vertical and horizontal lines independently: I also divided it by 64 so my subsurface wouldn't appear all green That node makes the scene look like this which i can use in my PostProcess: Then I do some work to make it only show up in the darkest parts of PostprocessInput0: Which I overlay onto my original scene to get this: The obvious downside is that I can't use Subsurface scattering. so I'd like to know if it's possible to plug it into a custom output: And have It read on on one of the SceneTexture PostProcessInputs: I know PostProcessInput1 is for Emissives and PostProcessInput2 is sometimes for Bloom, So If I could just Put it in one of 2-6 If anyone knows a way I could Spare my subsurface output I'd really appreciate it. This effect looks great on dark scenes, but it's possible to see the subsurface color on really bright scenes, ruining the effect.
I tried figuring out how they made a similar crosshatch shader for borderlands 3, but I assume they wrote a lot of their own custom stuff for what they made.
Why is my material not showing the same result as my material function?
Can I change the transparency of post process material?

Intel Under EC Microscope Again
By Michael Singer
European antitrust regulators are again asking questions about Intel's
alleged bully tactics with PC makers, the company said
Tuesday.
The new inquiry piggy-backs on reports in April 2004 that seven
countries — Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy and the
Netherlands — ignored a European Commission (EC)-mandated, open-bidding process in favor of
exclusively purchasing Intel-based computers.
Sources talking to Reuters reported the EC was sending letters to its
list of PC makers asking again about accusations of serious repercussions if
OEMs did not use Intel chips.
The news also comes at the same time that Microsoft filed its appeal
of the European Union's $613 million antitrust ruling. The same EC
investigators are involved with both cases.
While the EC has yet to take legal action, more governments are probing
Intel. So far, trade officials in North America, Europe and Japan have
questioned Intel's sphere of influence. In April, Japan's Fair Trade
Commission took documents in an unannounced visit to three Intel offices in
Tokyo.
Intel said the EC matter is an extension of a 2001 inquiry into the Santa
Clara, Calif.,-based chipmaking giant's business practices following
complaints from rival AMD . That complaint went before the
EC, and it accused Intel of abusing its dominant
position in the Windows-capable microprocessor market and violating
anti-monopoly rules (Article 82) in Europe.
Intel General Council Chuck Mulloy told internetnews.com the
company has been cooperating with the EC over the past three years and
expects to continue to do so.
"Given Intel's size and our success in certain market segments, it is not
unusual for regulators to look into our business practices," Mulloy said.
"Intel has a rigorous antitrust compliance program. The program was
initiated in the mid 1980s and has been significantly enhanced over time.
While we can't give you specific details of the program, we can tell you
that its purpose is to ensure that Intel complies with both the letter and
the spirit of antitrust laws worldwide. All sales, marketing and management
staffs undergo regular training to ensure legal compliance."
Intel's position in the world is huge holding 80 percent of the market for
chips that run personal computers and 90 percent of the revenue share worldwide.
By contrast, AMD has about 16.8 percent of the market share and barely
registers in the double digits when it comes to worldwide revenue share.
Taiwan-based Via Technologies and Transmeta round out
the top four.
The U.S. Supreme Court is also reviewing the Intel/AMD case. If the
Justices side with Intel, the No. 1 chipmaker won't have to reveal personal
patent documents to AMD and the EC about its processors. If AMD succeeds, it
could set a precedent for a wider range of discovery in cases outside of the
