The deadline looms for the Iran nuclear deal. US President Donald Trump will have to decide by 12 May whether to continue to waive sanctions against Iran under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
What Trump will do is unclear, and his intention was clouded even more by unscripted remarks last week alongside French President Emmanuel Macron. Trump offered this cryptic or incomprehensible (decide for yourself) series of comments:
But there is a chance – and nobody knows what I'm going to do on the 12th, although, Mr President, you have a pretty good idea – but we'll see. But we'll see also, if I do what some people expect, whether or not it will be possible to do a new deal with solid foundations. Because this a deal with decayed foundations. It's a bad deal. It's a bad structure. It's falling down. Should have never, ever been made. I blame Congress. I blame a lot of people for it. But it should have never been made, and we're going to see what happens on the 12th.
The terms and conditions of the JCPOA are complex, and the reactions from Iran and other signatories to the deal in response to Trump's upcoming decision are difficult to predict. But the complexity of the deal and the politics surrounding it are well explained in this article by one of the US negotiators, published at the time the deal was forged.
Trump lacks knowledge of international affairs but prides himself on knowing about "deals". He has always been on record as deriding the JCPOA, and he has the Europeans (co-signatories who want to honour the agreement) sweating on finding ways to allow him to claim he has won a better outcome.
Public posturing has taken on a harder tone as the May deadline draws closer. On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a theatrical live presentation in which he claimed to have a half-tonne of documents outlining Iranian perfidy over the nuclear issue dating back to 2003.
The timing of these revelations is somewhat fortuitous, coming only days before decision time in Washington and just after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and US State Department both noted Tehran's ongoing compliance with the JCPOA. The accuracy of Netanyahu's prognostications about who poses a threat to the region should be viewed with circumspection, as one of his previous forays into trying to influence US Middle East policy attests.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif have both condemned Trump's approach. They also floated the prospect of Iran declaring themselves no longer bound by the agreement if Trump refuses to waive the sanctions. Such a declaration would have enormous consequences and would add fuel to an already combustible Middle East.
Regardless of what transpires, Iran is right to be perplexed and angry at the potential course of events unfolding. As recently as April, both the IAEA and US State Department confirmed that Tehran is complying with its side of the deal.
Nevertheless, the White House doesn't like it (in part because it was a signature achievement of President Obama) and, in what passes for justification nowadays, therefore doesn't feel itself bound to honour the agreement in its current form.
Even if it wanted to, Iran couldn't renegotiate the deal. Rouhani and Zarif spent all their domestic political capital in getting the JCPOA signed in the first place. Even the world's best politician could not justify to their constituency the renegotiation of a deal their country is adhering to simply because the new president of another country doesn't like the existing deal.
Perhaps this posturing by the White House is part of a campaign to deny Tehran the benefits of the agreement by destroying confidence in it, while stopping short of actually withdrawing from the deal.
If Trump continues to trash-talk the JCPOA, he will create a constant atmosphere of uncertainty. And business investment hates uncertainty.
As this article shows, foreign banks' risk aversion to exposure in Iran has already led financial institutions to adopt "over-compliance" measures that effectively limit the ability of companies to invest in the country.
The existing sanctions regime and related nervousness on the part of institutions to run afoul of the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control has been exacerbated by Trump's trash-talking of the JCPOA and his appointment of two conservative anti-Iran hardliners in Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton. Together, this has done nothing to help deliver what Rouhani hoped for – the economic benefits of the JCPOA.
Trump may kill the deal on 12 May. But the reality is that his actions to date have already served to critically, if not mortally, wound it.

Agiatis (en griego antiguo: Ἀγιᾶτις; fallecida en el 224 a. C.) fue un reina consorte de Esparta en dos ocasiones. Primero lo fue por su matrimonio con Agis IV, hijo de Eudamidas II, perteneciente a la dinastía Euripóntidas. Cuando Agis fue encarcelado y ejecutado, en el año 242 a. C., por orden de su rival político Leónidas II, éste la desposó en segundas nupcias con su hijo y heredero Cleómenes III, que reinó entre los años 235 a. C. y 222 a. C.

Biografía
Agiatis era hija de un rico comerciante espartano llamado Gilippo, quien arregló el matrimonio de su hija con Agis IV, que sería rey de Esparta y promotor de una importante reforma institucional que preveía la cancelación de las deudas y la redistribución de la tierra. Fruto de este matrimonio fue Eudamidas III, futuro sucesor de su padre en el trono.

Las reformas previstas por Agis IV no tuvieron el apoyo de los éforos, quienes decidieron restaurar en el trono a Leónidas II, enemigo político de Agis. Se produjo un golpe de Estado que colocó a Leónidas en el trono mientras Agis combatía unas revueltas en Macedonia. Atrapado a su regreso, fue encarcelado, juzgado y posteriormente ejecutado.

Eudamidas III sucedió a su padre en el trono. No obstante, el poder real estuvo concentrado en manos de Leónidas II y luego de su hijo Cleómenes III, con quien Leónidas obligó a Agiatis a casarse. Eudamidas solo fue rey desde un punto de vista formal y no existió regente de su dinastía mientras fue menor. Cleómenes III le envenenó siendo aún un niño. Tras expulsar (y posteriormente asesinar) a Arquidamo V, el último agíada, transfirió el poder a su hermano Epiclidas con la complicidad de los éforos.

En su obra Vidas paralelas, el escritor Plutarco dedica un tomo a la comparativa con los griegos Agis IV y Cleómenes III, en el que destaca la labor de Agiatis a la hora de convencer a su segundo marido de la necesidad de las reformas que había establecido su difunto primer esposo. Tras la muerte de Leónidas II y subir al trono, Cleómenes decidió continuar las reformas propuestas, a pesar de que se había opuesto y obstaculizado por todos los medios de su padre. Según el propio Plutarco, Cleómenes estaba muy enamorado de Agiatis, tanto que ni siquiera podía mantenerse alejado de ella durante mucho tiempo.

Agiatis falleció en el año 224 a. C., mientras su marido se encontraba fuera de Esparta disputando la llamada Guerra de Cleómenes, contra sus enemigos de la Liga Aquea y del reino de Macedonia, liderados por Arato de Sición y Antígono III.

Whether it is due to a growing interest in family history, an interest in historic wars or in respect of those who fought to protect our freedom, many people have taken the trip to visit the fields that were once the battlefields of Normandy. During the First World War, these fields were full of soldiers of all nationalities, many of whom lost their lives in battle. Armistice Day on 11 November is a national holiday in France. Citizens remember the 600,000 soldiers that were killed in the Nord-du-Pais-Calais region of France between 1914 and 1918. In France two consecutive minutes of silence are observed. The first is to remember those who lost their lives and the second is in respect of those families and friends who were left behind. In France the blue cornflower, rather than the red poppy is the symbol of remembrance. Both flowers represent the resilience of life, as they both continued to flower despite the constant shelling, trench digging and trampling of soldiers that turned fields into plains of mud. One hundred years on from the start of the First World War, a memorial has this year been inaugurated at the largest war cemetery, Notre Dame de Lorette. Soldiers are named on this memorial in alphabetical order rather than being categorised by their nationality: great loss is felt no matter where the individual was born.
When we visit a foreign country, sightseeing is a popular way to discover more about the country's culture, history and traditions. The battlefields of Normandy may not be your first choice for a sightseeing stop on route to your holiday destination, but it could have more personal significance than other attractions. If you discover that your relatives played an active role in protecting our country from invasion, you may find visiting Notre Dame de Lorette is an emotional experience. These war memorials give us an opportunity to show our respect and are a poignant reminder to be grateful of the lives we live today. If you are crossing the English Channel from Dover to Calais on route to your French holiday, it isn't a great detour to visit some of the war sites. Travelling with a family is no reason to be put off, as the experience can also help children to bring their learning in the classroom to life and help their understanding of historic events.


This course is designed for aspiring or beginning artists who don't yet have an online portfolio and are unsure of where to start. This class answers questions like: What exactly is a portfolio? What should go in my portfolio? How should it be organized? Should I create one myself or hire a designer? How do I approach building my portfolio when I haven't any or much professional work yet?Building a Robust Portfolio is a three-part, easy to follow video e-course designed to help you prepare to build a portfolio that best showcases your work.
Through this video course, artist and illustrator Lisa Congdon will guide you through practices for building your portfolio, including how to organize it, what to include in it, pros and cons of doing it yourself versus hiring a designer and building a body of work to include in your portfolio.
Part One: In the first class video, Lisa covers what a portfolio is and why it's important to have one as a working artist. She'll talk about what we mean by the term "portfolio." She'll also cover what other information should accompany your portfolio on your portfolio website.
Part Two: In the second video of the class, Lisa will cover the criteria for deciding what should go in your portfolio, different ways to organize your portfolio and a few key design principles.
Part Three: The third and final video, Lisa focuses on how to approach building your portfolio when you are just starting out and don't yet have client work, along with tips, tricks and best practices for creating a cohesive body of work.
PLEASE NOTE: This class is not about the technicalities of how to build an online portfolio. There are many platforms out there that allow you to do this easily (and some for very little money) without knowing code or complex programs, and there is a list of the best of the best of those platforms in the class PDF for you to research. In the second video Lisa does discuss the two different ways to approach building a portfolio: either by hiring a designer to do it for you OR by using one of the online do-it-yourself platforms (or a combination of the two). There are pros and cons to each approach and she'll discuss some of those.
This class will prepare you to take the next steps!

Politically Uncorrected: A Better Crystal Ball

"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future" is one of Yogi Berra's best-known quotes. It's succinct, witty and captures a universal truth, universally ignored in an age of pollsters, pundits and other would be prognosticators willing to share their crystal balls with us.
No one knows the future – no one.
In forecasting elections, the best we can really do is identify the factors that might influence electoral outcomes.
In 2018, five of these factors loom large: the Midterm Curse; turnout; women candidates; the role of President Trump; and the health care issue.
The Midterm Curse, the bane of almost every administration back to the Civil War, will almost inevitably inflict electoral pain on Republicans. The question is how much pain – and how much will it matter. Several recent midterms paint bleak prospects for Republicans. From Richard Nixon to Barack Obama every president but one has lost seats in their first House midterm. Reagan lost 26 seats, Clinton 54, and Obama led the way with a stunning 63 seat loss. On the other hand, not every midterm has been this bad for the ruling party. George W. Bush's Republican Party actually gained eight House seats after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. And George H. W. Bush lost only eight (1990) while Obama in (2014) lost only 13. In 2018, all three of these latter midterms would have preserved Congress for Republicans since Democrats now need to pick up 23 seats to win the House. In short, the vaunted midterm curse may be more of a bump in the road than a road- block for Republicans aspiring to keep control of CongressElection turnout projections figure in virtually every Election Day scenario. The current consensus expects that widespread Democratic enthusiasm to produce a so called "blue wave" of voters that will banish Republicans from the U.S. House and maybe the U.S. Senate. But a "red wave" cannot be ruled out, driven by Trump's campaigning and lingering GOP anger over the Kavanaugh nomination fight. Whether a blue wave, a red wave or no wave, turnout matters critically in winning or losing because the large majority of American voters (60%) don't vote in mid-terms. Consequently, any party significantly ginning up their turnout will almost certainly win.Women candidates have emerged as major factors in 2018. Almost 50 percent of the Democratic candidates for the House are female. Despite recent gains, women still constitute only about 20 percent of the House, and about 25 percent of state legislatures. But more women (309) are running for Congress and state legislatures (2,380) than ever before, many of them running very strong races. Unknown is how they will do against entrenched incumbents (who tend to be male). Among voters who express a preference, Republicans prefer men about 2 to 1, while Democrats prefer women about 7 to 2. Clearly, Democratic support for female candidates will be the key to women's electoral fate in 2018. Donald Trump is not on the ballot but he is the dominating presence of the campaign. His anemic approval rating earlier in the year seemed to make this a huge plus for Democrats. Lately, however, Trump's approval rating has moved up, reaching some 44% in the RealClearPolitics average, slightly less than Obama in his 2010 midterm. More importantly, he has campaigned aggressively among his loyal base urging them to vote in an election many historically skip. The "Trump factor" is a genuine wild card in 2018. Among his base he almost certainly is helping Republicans in close races – while among voters who dislike him, he is toxic. Hardly the first president to be a mixed blessing along the campaign trail. Trump has reveled in his infamy while celebrating his celebrity. It's just not what voters feel about Trump, but the intensity of those feelings may turn out to be the most important factor in the race.
These five factors leave us with questions rather than predictions – how important will mid-term history be, the influence of women, the salience of the health care issue, the role of President Trump and what turnout will be.
But all get answered on Election Day.
That's a prediction even Yogi might make.

On the lookout to rent Writers? Here's All the things You should Know. It's very very clear you should seek the services of a author. But in which do you start off?
Operating a company inside digital age requires a huge number of writing.
There's your website . Your web log . Social websites posts. Sales and profits duplicate. Commercials. Guest posts. The checklist goes on. Who's about to do all of that producing?
And there is extra. There's search phrase researching, online search engine optimization (Search engine optimisation), modifying, publishing, and distribution.

Why it is important to seek the services of a writer?
High-quality information creating qualified prospects to raised guide era , a great deal more helpful revenue duplicate, and enhanced on line visibility. Adverts, brochures, and catalogs all benefit from a certified writer. Using the services of a contract writer to craft technological documentation, push releases, and online marketing copy can make a major big difference in how your potential clients see you.
Creating top-notch duplicate is extremely very difficult. A wide range of of our unique website posts get five or maybe more several hours to write, edit, and publish. Performing that yourself three times a week implies 15 hrs within your time is gone. That is time that would be spent advertising, earning connections, or making your workforce .
Which can be precisely why you really should work with a writer.
More goes in the subject matter advertising and marketing operation. Search term research, strategizing, conducting Search engine optimisation, distributing your posts, and producing one way links normally requires time and effort. Does one have time for all of that? And when you are doing, think you're self-confident that you could construct articles that is related, practical, and positively world-class in premium ?If not, it is time to outsource producing to the specialized.
Publishing high-quality, advantageous tips copywriting in marketing delivers visitors to your internet site, reveals them the worth of the product, and will help transform them into faithful users. You provide a specific thing to them – worthwhile information – they usually give back to you personally – by acquiring your goods and services .
So you can in fact measure how beneficial that is definitely. We wrote a detailed article on how we evaluate the ROI of our personal subject matter advertising so you're able to do exactly the same.
Fortuitously, if you go in with this particular practical knowledge, the procedure is way much simpler. Freelance marketplaces, like Hubstaff or Upwork, allow you submit your profession and invite freelancers to express their curiosity . Writers then spot a bid in the employment or mail you an explanation of why they'd be a very good solution .
Following that, it's up to you to type thru a (possibly quite vast) variety of applicants and slash the listing down to a handful. You will really need to look and feel at their profiles, internet websites , and portfolios. And following that, it is highest quality to get them do a test task. This allows you to see what type of composing they're able to generate to suit your needs.
After which you can, at last , you could potentially use your author .
All of this usually takes time, but getting the recommended writer on your internet marketing business is price the investment. Particularly when you're able to create a long-term romance. Really don't think that you'll use a freelancer create a single point and become achieved – as soon as you notice another person who does good function, dealing with them regularly will undoubtedly be quite invaluable .

Q: Update a program directX I'm new to stackoverflow, even though I've been here for a while (not registered) reading a lot of important and usefull things, and I'm grateful for a comunity like this!
I have a program, which uses directx 7.0c . The thing is, and you all might know, directx7.0c is quite old and there are incompatibility issues with win8. I have the program in full screen, then when I minimize and it then maximize it back sprites look quite bad, unrendered. To be more specific, the program is a client for a 2d game which loades sprites, hence when minimizing/maximizing the sprites go crazy/look bad.
I was just wondering if anyone that have done this before, could guide me (give me possible links? cant find anything good on this on the internet, or maybe I'm just a bad searcher) on how to update the program's directx version (to directx9 should be more than perfect)
Thanks in advance.

TIP! Don't focus on the numbers in your life. Pay attention to the big things in life, and don't get too wrapped up in numbers.
When it comes to aging, people have many preconceived notions that may or may not be true. Many of us are familiar with the stereotype of the elderly person who has issues with vision and hearing. This is far from the truth for many, who have overcome lots of the challenges associated with aging and live healthy, enjoyable lives. Keep reading this reading to discover ways to maintain a comfortable and engaging lifestyle throughout the years.
TIP! If you eat well, you will likely experience fewer age-related problems. Emphasize fruits and vegetables, as well as fiber and whole grains, while getting rid of fats and cholesterol.
Control your frowning to prevent wrinkles. Although it seems weird, it really works. So if you feel yourself doing it, pinch yourself to stop. You can eventually break the habit.
TIP! As you grow older, it is important to always be open to learning and exploring new ideas. Learning should happen all throughout your life.
TIP! Different things happen when we age. There may come a time that someone no longer wishes to take proper care of themselves due to their age.
Try a resveratrol supplement. There have been promising studies about the youthful benefits of eating a well balanced and low calorie diet. Resveratrol is found in both grapes and nuts. This nutrient, Resveratrol, is found in many supplements. You may also find it in a South African shrub called, Senna quinquangulata.
TIP! Whenever you can, spread peace and joy. When you make someone's day better, you automatically make yourself feel better as well.
If you want to age well, nothing is more important than having a balanced diet. A proper diet means a mix of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, plenty of fiber and foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Avoid trans fats entirely. Eating this way ensures that your body is getting the nutrients it needs.
Learning new things is one of the keys to be healthy in your getting older process. Life-long learning is fundamental.
You need to sleep the proper amount of time based on your age. Sleeping 7 to 9 hours every night is the best way to maintain a good hormone balance. If you do not get enough sleep, you will find that you are more irritable and having a hard time enjoying life.
As this article has shown, you can learn quite a bit about get more information. But, with the advice offered here, you can start to wade your way through all the things you find. Good luck using this information!

La battaglia di Golpejera, anche nota come Golpejar, fu una battaglia tra regni cristiani combattuta all'inizio del gennaio 1072. Il re Sancho II di Castiglia (il Forte) sconfisse le forze del fratello Alfonso VI di León (il Valoroso) nei pressi di Carrión de los Condes. È nota soprattutto per essere stata una delle battaglie cui partecipò El Cid.

Scenario storico
Nell'XI secolo i tre regni di Castiglia, León e Galizia erano uniti sotto un unico re, Ferdinando I di León, noto come il Grande. Ma le sue decisioni circa la sua successione portarono ad anni di conflitto tra i fratelli.
Se Ferdinando avesse seguito la legge di successione della Navarra (Ferdinando era figlio di Sancio III di Navarra), allora il suo figlio maggiore, Sancho, avrebbe dovuto ricevere la maggior parte dell'eredità. La nobiltà di León, però, si vedeva come la suprema erede dell'antico regno ispanico-gotico e si rifiutò di essere governata da un monarca castigliano. Castiglia fino a poco tempo prima era stata solo una contea di frontiera di León. Per cercare un compromesso, Ferdinando scelse di spartire tra i suoi figli i suoi domini, creando tre regni. Ad Alfonso andò León, a García la Galizia ed a Sancho la Castiglia. Alle due figlie, Urraca ed Elvira, egli concesse le città di Zamora e Toro.

Dopo la morte di suo padre, Sancho rivendicò i domini dei fratelli ed invase il regno del fratello. Dopo una prima battaglia , vinta da Sancho a Llantada nel 1068, che però ebbe poco valore, si arrivò allo scontro decisivo a Golpejera.

Risultati e conseguenze
Sancho II sconfisse il fratello, Alfonso VI, lungo il fiume Carrión, a sud della città storica di Santa Maria de Carrion (oggi Carrión de los Condes).

La battaglia iniziò all'alba e dopo una lotta lunga e dura, i castigliani vennero costretti ad abbandonare il campo; ma Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (El Cid) riuscì ad infondere coraggio sia al re che all'esercito ed a convincerli a ritentare un nuovo attacco la mattina successiva. Questa volta la vittoria arrise ai castigliani. Alfonso fu catturato, ma poi rilasciato e costretto ad andare in esilio. Dovette cercare rifugio a Toledo, che allora era nelle mani dei mori.

Nonostante questo risultato, la vittoria di Sancho fu assai breve; egli venne assassinato a tradimento mentre assediava i nobili Leonesi che gli avevano sequestrato la sorella Urraca a Zamora. Alfonso così poté tornare dall'esilio e governare il Regno congiunto di Castiglia e León.

Nella cultura moderna
Questa battaglia figura nella campagna El Cid in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion col titolo di "Brother Against Brother" (Fratello contro fratello).

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Fran Dunphy's last season as Temple's coach produced a November to remember. The Owls calmly held off a late Missouri charge to win 79-77, claiming their third victory over a Power 5 conference opponent this season after previous wins over Georgia and Cal.
Quinton Rose scored 18 points, Shizz Alston finished with 15 points, De'Vondre Perry added 11 points and Ernest Aflakpui grabbed 12 rebounds for the Owls (6-1).
Temple outscored Missouri 16-4 in the final 3:20 of the first half to open a 42-32 halftime lead. The Tigers (3-3) got within two points in the final two minutes thanks to outstanding outside shooting — they were 11 of 19 from 3-point range — but the Owls never gave up their lead after intermission.
Missouri's Jordan Geist hit a 3-pointer to cut the Temple lead to 77-75 with 14 seconds left. The Tigers fouled Alston, who made both free throws to secure the game. Alston, who had made all 17 free throws he had attempted entering the game, was just 1 of 3 from the foul line against Missouri before his crucial makes.
The Owls forced four turnovers in in the final 3:20 of the first half. Temple entered the game ranked seventh nationally with 10.5 steals per game, and Missouri entered with a minus-2.2 turnover margin. As expected, turnovers hurt the Tigers, who committed 15 while forcing only five.
Temple: The Owls' stars played like stars, even when their shots weren't falling. Rose made just 1 of 6 3-pointers, but he made four steals and dished three assists. Alston shot just 5 of 17 from the field but had six assists and no turnovers.
Missouri: Tilmon, a sophomore forward, has been an enigmatic player early in his career, often taking himself out of games with foul trouble or going for long stretches without grabbing a rebound. He didn't have a single rebound in the first half but came alive after the break to finish with 10. Missouri needs that performance consistently if it is going to compensate for the loss of star forward Jontay Porter, who tore his ACL in the preseason.
Temple: The Owls return to Philadelphia for a game at Saint Joseph's on Saturday.
Missouri: The Tigers will face a second straight American Athletic Conference opponent when UCF visits Mizzou Arena on Sunday. Temple was picked to finish sixth in the AAC by the league's coaches, while UCF was projected to win the league.


Horticulture | Bird Gard Pty. Ltd.
Starting in the late 80s in our own Lychee orchards that were being decimated by Lorikeets, Flying foxes, Crows, other birds and possums, Bird Gard developed several electronic bird control devices and other products for the Australian & New Zealand horticultural industry. We specialise in bird scarers or electronic devices that emit the latest in sonic harassment technology and digital recordings of distressed and alarmed birds, along with the sounds made by their natural predators. These sounds are broadcast through high fidelity weather-resistant speakers and are used to repel most fruit eating birds and flying foxes. We know it works, as we got away with not netting for 15 years and reduced our losses to 2 to 3% compared to 50% before we developed the Bird Gard system.
The scarers have been a huge success. The Crow Scarer particularly. Only one brief incur by a couple of crows. I haven't lost a cherry to them since. No losses to crows in the apricot crop either. Thank you once again.
It works! Haven't had a lorikeet around the stonefruit for over two weeks I'm beginning to feel sorry for them (someone shoot me!).
We installed our first Bird Gard in 1992 and the immediate effect was so good that two days later we rang and ordered another one.

Anatomy of a dying star
A simulation of a star's final hours may help scientists uncover what triggers its death. The program simulated the death of a white dwarf (pictured), which is a compact remnant of a star similar to our sun.WFPC2/HST/NASA

By Irene Klotz
A computer program that simulates the final hours of a star's life has been developed by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California and Stony Brook University in New York.
The scientists designed the simulation hoping to uncover what actually triggers a star's death.
For decades, scientists have relied on supernovae to serve as mile markers on the highways of space. These exploded stars can be measured for brightness, which provides an estimate of their physical distance.
Supernovae have been used to compute the expansion of the universe and shed light on a mysterious and still unknown force called dark energy, which seems to be pressing the universe's expansion pedal more firmly in recent times than in the past.
Now for the first time, scientists have a tool to begin understanding just how "standard" these celestial mile markers really are.
"The thing that we're trying to find out is where and how the ignition happens," said researcher Ann Almgren, with Berkeley Lab's Computational Research Division.
That's important because where a star ignites plays a key role in how it explodes, which in turn can impact its brightness.
Scientists modeled a white dwarf, which is a compact remnant of a star similar to our sun.
If the white dwarf reaches a critical size, known as the Chandrasekhar mass, enough heat and pressure builds up that it begins simmering, a process that can last for centuries.
During its final two hours, convection can't carry heat from the center of the star away fast enough. It grows hotter and hotter. On one side, fluid moves inward toward the center of the star. Jets blast out the other.
The fluid flow grows stronger and more turbulent until the star reaches a temperature of about 1.8 billion degrees Fahrenheit and ignites. In seconds, the star explodes.
"We were able to model this for longer than people had before, in full 3-D, and get a realistic picture of what the convective pattern looked like and evolve it to the point where you see that first hotspot form," Stony Brook University astrophysicist Michael Zingale told Discovery News.
More work remains to determine if a supernova ignites at a single spot or many, and where the triggers are located.
"All these things are relevant because if you have a hotspot and it is carried away quickly toward the outside of the star, that will affect what sort of flame might propagate or whether it goes out. There's a whole lot of science in what the flows are doing," said Almgren.
The computer program breaks down the model star into 50 million grids and calculates changing heat, density, pressure and other characteristics over time. The researcher devised a new method for creating the simulation so that it could run within available time on a supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility in Tennessee.
"We operate at the edge of the computational resources that we have," Almgren said.
The team's work is being published in the October issue of Astrophysical Journal.

Pyroban heads to IMHX with automation, power and purpose
Explosion protection safety company Pyroban is heading to intralogistics show IMHX 2022 in Birmingham, UK, with Ex Solutions for AGVs, AMRs, robots, and a wide range of other materials handling and plant equipment.
"Pyroban® has exhibited at every single IMHX in the show's history presenting explosion protection solutions for lift trucks. In this time, the materials handling landscape has changed," says Darren Boiling, Materials Handling Sales Manager for Pyroban. "Automation, sustainability, energy costs, and business purpose are now high on the agenda for decision makers. At IMHX, we're addressing how these topics influence businesses operating with potentially explosive atmospheres."
ATEX AGVs, AMRs, and automated robots
Pyroban will address the myth that ATEX (with UKCA marking) AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), and robots don't exist. It is possible to safely "Ex" convert some of the latest technologies that will be on show at IMHX for hazardous area operations where automation is also required, or equipment such as carousels.
"Unlike the ATEX forklift conversions we are known for, complex machines like AGVs or AMRs can be optimised with a ground-up approach where we work closely with the OEM at product design and assembly level," says Darren.
Pyroban has experienced growing demand for AGVs and AMRs in some "zoned" hazardous area operations where flammable material is handled. Paint tins, aerosols, IBCs, or drums full of solvents can all be moved by AGVs, AMRs, or robots, subject to a thorough risk assessment.
It was this growing trend that led Pyroban's Managing Director Steve Noakes, the Convenor of the Standards Committee responsible for EN1755 (the standard specifically written for industrial trucks operating in potentially explosive atmospheres), to lead the committee and produce an update which now includes requirements specifically for driverless trucks (i.e. AGVs or AMRs).
Power choices in hazardous areas
For traditional forklifts, there are also more power choices than ever before and businesses are increasingly looking to reduce energy costs and improve their environmental performance. Businesses with Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 areas are no different, and many have already turned to electric materials handling equipment, including waste companies, chemical firms, food and drink businesses, and supermarkets storing flammable aerosols.
"At IMHX, we will be sharing the latest updates on power options including the facts about Stage V ATEX forklifts (with UKCA marking) and the first ever solutions for LPG forklifts working in Zone 2 hazardous areas," says Darren. "In addition, we will be highlighting the facts about the ATEX certification requirements for lead acid batteries and talking about the ignition risks when using lithium-ion in hazardous areas."
Gas detection rental to bridge ATEX forklift gap
Pyroban will also address what businesses can do to bridge safety gaps that may occur due to extended OEM forklift production lead times.
"Over the last few years, forklifts are not being delivered to Pyroban fast enough which has led to an inevitable knock-on effect to the availability of ATEX compliant forklifts for our customers," says Darren. "We responded to safety concerns by offering Gascheka Zone 3 on a rental basis."
Gascheka Zone 3 is a bolt-on gas detection system designed specifically for mobile equipment, and was previously only available to buy outright from Pyroban. Now, Pyroban is supporting the industry by offering the gas detection system for short periods. The units can be fitted to equipment of any age in just a few hours including warehouse equipment, forklifts, vans, cranes, access platforms, and people transporters.
"If hazardous area operations cannot source a new or used ATEX compliant forklift in time, and when ceasing the operation isn't an option, under an ATEX 1999/92/EC or DSEAR (in the UK) risk assessment, they may consider that installing the Pyroban Gascheka Zone 3 system on existing standard trucks is an acceptable interim solution," confirms Darren.
Protecting people, their investment, and our environment
2022 marks 50 years of one clear Purpose for Pyroban – keeping people safe in hazardous areas.
"Throughout our history, Pyroban's technical integrity and support has been second to none in the conversion of lift trucks and power systems for use in hazardous areas," says Darren, who has been with the company for nearly 35 years. "Our customers rely on us to keep them safe in their daily operations and we have a great team which follows the principles of five solid foundations to deliver on our purpose.
"We design for safety and performance, build with premium quality, and deliver a low total cost of operation (TCO). Lifetime support and care programmes reinforce the customer experience alongside pro-active advice and consultancy from the very beginning," says Darren, explaining that there is still significant market education to do about ATEX and the risks of using MHE equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres for end users, OEMs and dealers.
For more information, visit Pyroban at Stand 5E40 at IMHX, contact Pyroban's technical team on +44 (0) 1273 456800 or info@pyroban.com, or visit www.pyroban.com.
IMHX takes place from 6 – 8 September 2022 at the NEC, Birmingham. It is the UK's flagship event for those involved in managing, maintaining, and optimising the operations that keep supply chains moving. Visit www.imhx.net.

> Made for you
We don't mass-produce our products. Every item is made special for you — and it doesn't get more special than that.


Herbs may be either direct-sown outdoors after the threat of frost has passed, or started indoors for transplanting or container gardening. Herbs require moderately rich, well-draining soil with at least 5 hours of bright sunlight. To start indoors: sow lightly in sterilized seed mix, lightly moisten and cover with plastic wrap until germination takes place. Do not water again until sprouts emerge. Remove plastic wrap once sprouted. Transplant outdoors when the threat of frost has passed. Some perennials like Lavender, Catnip or Savory prefer to be started indoors. Others such as Chives, Sage or Fennel prefer to be direct-sown outside once the soil has warmed. Most herbs dislike chemicals or over-fertilization. Feed lightly with kelp or fish emulsion once seedlings are well established. Keep lightly moist: never wet. Pinch back the plants to avoid flowering and to encourage leaf production.

Fall 2012 - Caroline's Headin' For Another Joint Journal
Submitted by Girlofthenorcal... on Wed, 04/03/2013 - 4:15pm
Broomfield, CO / October 29 & 30, 2012
Fun and Funner
I was beyond excited when TWO nights in Colorado were announced for this tour! The only other city with two shows on the tour being San Francisco, I felt honored and in good company. Excitement just grew with the securing of fantastic seats for both nights, woo-hoo! And of course having the show closest to Halloween was a bonus, and we soon began to cook up some extra-special fun…but more on that later.
Of course we made fast plans for Kait to get on out to Denver as soon as the shows were announced. I can't believe it had been over a year since we'd seen each other! All I will say about that is, far too long. The fun started pretty much immediately upon her arrival Saturday, with a night out at our really good local Mexican restaurant, complete with pitchers of salty margaritas, waiter-comped "cucarachas" (http://www.drinknation.com/drink/la-cucaracha), and rally napkins as we ate, drank and watched the World Series.
We spent Sunday in a relaxing way, going out for a leisurely Bloody Mary breakfast, walking the dogs, more scheming for the upcoming festivities . The next morning we got down to business for a bit as we had a fan club meeting to make some decisions with our web design team about our new site. Work before play, you know. Then it was down to a different type of business as we shopped for and began to create the accessories for our Halloween costumes.
Though Stu still strolls out playing before the rest of the band, the intro tonight leads into a tour debut for the opener: I'll Be Your Baby Tonight. OK! It's a jaunty version with Bob at the organ leading the way as well as adding some carnival swirliness, and the rest of the band trotting along brightly behind him. Bob seems in a good mood tonight. He lets out a big guffaw half way through the song, for no apparent reason but I guess it might be apparent to him.
A sweet Baby Blue comes next and is a highlight for me. Not only is it always one of my favorite songs to hear, tonight Bob gives it a lot of fills and accents on the grand piano, and his playing suits the song very nicely. It adds a whole other dimension to listen to underneath the sung melody, really nice. Maybe because he is concentrating on those piano fills, too, Bob's singing is controlled and understated here in a way that suits the song nicely, too. A soft harmonica solo rounds it out.
After the one-two punch of what has become the usual, but always quite good, Things Have Changed + Tangled Up In Blue (Bob blows his lungs out on the harp solo), Mark Knopfler visits the stage for Levee's Gonna Break. I have to say it takes me a bit of the song to even notice, though, as transfixed as I am by Bob grooving behind the piano. I'll note too that I'm exceptionally grateful at this point that this audience knows what's up and has all been standing up for the whole show. Because, like, you're gonna sit down for Levee's Gonna Break? Bob sings the verses with great enthusiasm and pounds the keys, half standing, in between. I look at Kait with approval and amusement as Bob sings, "Put on your cat clothes, mama" as she's wearing her leopard print dress. Meow! We are treated to some more mysterious chuckles from Bob. Before the last verse there is some extended interplay between Bob and Mark which is pretty cool (I think that's when I actually realized Mark was there, haha).
Though we'll get no songs from Tempest tonight, it certainly is a tempestuous run of songs, songs of storms and flooding, starting with Levee and continuing with Shelter From the Storm (YES!), High Water, and Hard Rain. Wowzers. During Shelter, Bob seems to be experimenting with how he wants to sing it right there, live on stage, going way down in his register at the beginning of some lines and up at the end of others. His playing seems similarly searching, a staccato type piano arrangement that's made more melodic by Donnie's pedal steel and Tony bowing on the standup bass. I feel as if this is an arrangement in the making more than one that's done, which makes it very interesting. Like being there at the moment of creation. Interestingly enough, I feel the same about High Water. This song has seen numerous incarnations since it made the scene in 2001; I feel right now it is in between versions, finding its way to the next.
Hard Rain is wonderful, Bob attacks the song with great gusto, "I SAID it's a-hard!", building as he goes along to several crescendo moments, and echoing back (I think) to me when I've shouted, "Yeah!" at one point, "YEAH!"
Probably the most gorgeous song of the night on the grand is Trying to Get to Heaven. Bob caresses the song with both his singing and playing. It's actually almost more like he speaks the words in a lilting way, ending some lines in a whisper or a breath. A heartfelt performance with another really sweet harmonica outro, it's probably my favorite moment of the night.
Into the home stretch of songs, it's sad but less so than usual because we have another fun-filled night of frolicking ahead. Bob's having a good time. At the end of Thunder on the Mountain he stands right up behind the piano with giant jazzhands, palms outspread toward us. Love that stance.
The pale moon rose in its glory out on the western town…
I don't know quite what to say about going to the show dressed as Victorian lords and ladies aboard the doomed Titanic, except that it is weird and fun. It took much of the day to get ready, particularly with the hair, which Kait did an impressive job of styling. I couldn't really stop giggling as we're headed to the show like this and it added quite another dimension to being at a Bob show. Other people liked it too, as we walked round and round the hallways of the 1st Bank Center before the show, as if walking the decks of the ship, conversing with the other passengers, waving bon voyage to those on shore, having numerous people pose to have their pictures taken with us. Best of all, of course, is the point and laugh we get from Bob as they take the stage!
Tonight's is a gorgeous show that includes some fantastic, welcome songs that I haven't heard in a long time. Whereas some of the songs I feel are still finding their ways into new arrangements with the grand piano, and that's not to say they are bad at all, just still searching for what they'll be, Love Minus Zero is floors me in its complete perfection. Bob's singing is unbelievably smooth. The song flows effortlessly, with Bob's piano playing moving it along at just the right tempo and the rest of the band performing their parts flawlessly and elegantly. It could not have been better.
We get some call and response with Things Have Changed, Bob making sure we are paying attention maybe… "Don't get up gentlemen…why?!" and we dutifully call back as he pauses, "I'm only passing through!"
Visions of Johanna also features smooth, smooth singing and a rhythm that is gently rocking and flows so sweetly. Bob's singing is exact and also playful, having fun from line to line with the cadence and holding notes where you wouldn't expect him to. This is another arrangement that works very well with the piano and the rest of the band's parts fitting into place very well.
Bob keeps em coming tonight, with an intense John Brown, always more timely and topical than we'd like, George Recelli beating out a war march behind him. Then right into Mississippi, yes! It's a jaunty, up-tempo version and tonight we especially appreciate and applaud the significant line, "My ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast" and we wave our life preservers in the air. Good times.
Uncle Tom's still workin' for Uncle Bill, Scarlet Town is under the hill

UNECE and Geneva Cities Hub strengthen their cooperation for sustainable urban development
Housing and Land Management Sustainable Development SDGs
From the climate crisis to inequalities, urban areas play an increasingly central role in tackling key sustainable development challenges. Strengthening the connections between city-level actors and facilitating their engagement in international policy debates is therefore vital to scale up innovative approaches based on concrete experience.
In this spirit, Olga Algayerova, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, and Sami Kanaan, member of the Executive Council of the City of Geneva and President of the Geneva Cities Hub, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 7 March 2022 to formalize and strengthen their cooperation. Since the establishment of the GCH, the UNECE has been one of its principal partners.
UNECE is one of the five UN regional commissions and it is committed to provide cities with a voice in relation to sustainable urban development, which lies at the center of its areas of interest. As such, it organizes the Forum of Mayors to enable city leaders to exchange experiences, present their efforts to tackle urban challenges and discuss how to work together in the context of the UN. As part of their ongoing cooperation, the Geneva Cities Hub is an official partner of the Forum.
UNECE Executive Secretary Olga Algayerova affirmed that "Mayors play a crucial role in fostering sustainable development. Collaboration with partners such as Geneva Cities Hub is vital to push forward the important linkages between action at the local, regional and international level as part of a new and inclusive multilateralism".
"This MoU provides a great framework for enhanced cooperation on all matters related to the Forum of Mayors and its Declaration adopted in 2020. It constitutes an important step towards our common goal, which is to advance the participation and engagement of cities in multilateralism", said Kamelia Kemileva, GCH Co-Director, during the signing ceremony.

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) injection is a technique used to take advantage of non-validated input to modify a web page presented by a web application to its users. Attackers take advantage of the fact that the content of a web page is often related to a previous interaction with users. When applications fail to validate user data, an attacker can send HTML-fomatted text to modify site content that gets presented to other users. A specifically crafted query can lead to inclusion in the web page of attacker-controlled HTML elements which change the way the application content gets exposed to the web.
HTML is the language that determines how application data (like a products' catalog) gets presented to users in their web browser. This language contains visualization commands, like the color of the page's background and the size of embedded pictures. It also contains links to other web pages, and additional commands intended for the user's browser. Furthermore, automated tools that collect useful information from the web on behalf of users often do so by systematically accessing and parsing the relevant information in the application's HTML pages.
In modern interactive web pages, the content of a web page often reflects the results of processing previous user actions. If the user's input is not validated and the application is vulnerable, an attacker can craft and send input to the application that lets him inject pieces of his HTML code into the HTML content of the application's response.
Now every user that will browse to the search results page will see the link injected by the attacker. If an unsuspecting user trusts the applications and clicks on the injected link it now contains, he is suddenly seeing content from an attacker-controlled domain.
A typical application use-case for storing one user's input and showing it to other users is when an application contains pages where users can post comments to the original content of the page or interact with each other. This is another example where application vulnerabilities can lead to HTML injection.
The most common way of detecting HTML injection is by looking for HTML elements in the incoming HTTP stream that contains the user input. A naïve validation of user input simply removes any HTML-syntax substrings (like tags and links) from any user-supplied text. However, there are many instances where the application expects HTML input from the user. For example, this happens when the user submits visually-formatted text or text containing links to legitimate sites with related content. To avoid false positives, the security mechanism that detects possible injections and protects the application should learn in what application context user input is allowed to contain HTML. Also, it should be able to stop HTML input if it learns that such text is pasted as-is in web page generated by vulnerable application components.
Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall does all that and more. From observing users communications it builds a profile of allowed HTML interactions. On the other hand, specific signatures and policies protect application components against known HTML injection points. Anomalies detected in the application's interactions other time trigger policies for handling possible abuse. Furthermore, real-time information about active HTML injection attacks are gathered from Imperva customers and used to improve the protection for all customers.


Join Lt. Col. David Sartori, PhD, as he shares his journey and experiences with you regarding the implementation of a total laboratory automation project. During his presentation, Dr. Sartori explores how a change of this magnitude can help lead to more efficient operations and have a positive impact on patient care. He also examines how IT solutions can fit into the decision making and implementation process.

Lady Rattlers Avoid Letdown Against OPSU
Home » News » Lady Rattlers Avoid Letdown Against OPSU
San Antonio – It borders on cliché, the theory that a team must worry about a let-down game following a big-time victory.
But the St. Mary's Lady Rattlers can certainly appreciate the validity of that concern after Thursday's triumph.
The Lady Rattlers stomped Oklahoma Panhandle State University 72-55 at Bill Greehey Arena, but the final margin of victory didn't quite show how hard-fought the game was early.
Nicole James (Sr., Indianapolis) led the Rattlers with 16 points, Mareta Bailey (Sr., Grand Prairie, Texas) scored 14, and Kristen Williams (Sr., Kansas City, Mo.) hauled in 13 rebounds to go along with eight points.
"You've got to come out every game and play hard," said Williams, whose squad had an emotional, come-from-behind victory over the University of Texas-Permian Basin last Saturday. "We had a really awesome game against UTPB, and we come around against OPSU and kind of let ourselves relax instead of jumping on them early."
St. Mary's (11-6 overall), pegged as the preseason favorite in the Heartland Conference, improved to 3-0 in league play. OPSU dropped to 2-13 overall.
WATCH THE GAME!
After opening up a 16-point lead in the first half, St. Mary's let OPSU back into the game in the waning minutes, taking a 33-25 lead into halftime.
The lead dwindled to four early in the second half, putting a brief scare into St. Mary's.
But while it took the Lady Rattlers a little longer than expected to step on the gas, there was no stopping them once they did.
Leading 62-52 with 4:25 left, St. Mary's closed out the game on a 10-3 run to leave no doubt.
DeAnna Patterson (Jr., Converse, Texas) scored nine points on 2-for-2 shooting from 3-point range, while Mallory Moeller (Sr., Geronimo, Texas) added eight points. St. Mary's shot 9 for 13 from beyond the arc as a team.
St. Mary's will return to action when it hosts Newman University at 2 p.m. Saturday at Bill Greehey Arena, before opening up a lengthy six-game road trip.

If you have an iPad, you may want to use a VPN in your iPad. Why? Because using VPN in your iPad can secure your connections and keep your online activity in private.
VPN (Virtual Personal Network) connection enables you to secure your online activities and protect your personal information when surfing the Internet. VPN creates a secure "tube" to connect your iPad to the Internet, which means all incoming and outcoming traffic on your iPad will be encrypted. So hackers cannot steal your personal information, and your privacy won't be revealed to your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
The VPN feature is built-in in your iPad, so you can manually configure the VPN settings to connect.
Subscribe to a VPN service to get the required information such as the VPN server and your account.
You can search on the Internet to pick up an appropriate VPN service, such as NordVPN which is one of the best VPNs for iPad.
Open your iPad, and go to Settings.
Go to General > VPN.
Type: Choose a VPN protocol type: IKEv2, IPsec, and L2TP.
Description: enter a name for your VPN connection, such as NordVPN.
Server: your VPN server address.
Remote ID: consult your VPN service provider for the remote ID.
Username: the username of your VPN service account.
Password: Your password for your VPN service.
Once finish the configuration, tap your VPN name to connect.
You should be able to connect to your VPN service now.
This requires the time and computer skills to set up. If this method doesn't work for you, don't worry, You can try Method 2.
To use VPN in your iPad, you can directly download and install a VPN application from Apple App store, since many VPN service providers offer the VPN applications for iOS devices.
You can search VPN in your iPad App store, choose the one with good reviews and reasonable price. If you don't have the time or patience, we recommend NordVPN.
NordVPN can secure your online traffic in your iPad, set your location to any one of more than 60 countries where it has servers. And it's easy and safe to use!
Download and install NordVPN in your iPad.
Open NordVPN in your device.
Log in to your NordVPN account.
Choose a server location to connect and you're good to go.
So there you have it – the two effective ways to connect to a VPN in iPad. If you have any question, feel free to leave a comment below.
