THE LIPKA JOURNAL
PHOTOGRAPHS / STORIES / OBSERVATIONS
JOE LIPKA
AUGUST 2022
WELCOME TO THE JOURNAL
AUGUST 2022
This month it’s two thirds serious and the rest is fun. On the serious side, the topic is reflections to two types. There is the obvious reflection of a lovely French country pond with lily pads and other colorful flowers. We go thousands of miles away to the coastal plains of Texas and an old empty mission to reflect upon mortality.
After all that seriousness, we need a little bit of fun with shadows. As photographers, we do our best to avoid putting ourselves in the frame. But sometimes, making yourself part of the composition is just the right thing to do.
If you’ve made it this far, please download this issue of the Journal and view it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The interactive features of the Journal will be available for your enjoyment when you use Adobe Acrobat Reader.
A Tranquil Pond
A Tranquil Pond
Pop culture calls it a “Happy Place.” While we give that phrase an eye roll, we all have such a place (or if we’re lucky more than one) where we feel immediately comfortable and at ease. It is a place where our worries and cares disappear, and we can think about the most important things in life.
For me, tranquility and calm are a necessary part of the creative process. This small pond is one of those places where peace and quiet are found in abundance. The short time spent walking around the pond was very satisfying. I wished I could have spent more than a few hours there.
Bamboo Forest and Boat on the River, Suzhou, China
Giverny, France
The famous water lily pond at Giverny, France, where Claude Monet spent his last years painting the same scene from different angles and times of day.
Giverny, France
The gardens of Giverny, created by the famous French painter Claude Monet, are a testament to his passion for nature and his artistic vision. The most iconic feature is the Japanese-inspired water garden, which includes a pond filled with lily pads and surrounded by a variety of colorful flowers and plants. This serene setting has inspired countless artists and visitors alike, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Giverny, France
The famous garden of Claude Monet is a must-see for art lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. The garden features a beautiful pond with water lilies, a Japanese bridge, and a variety of colorful flowers. Visitors can also explore the house where Monet lived and worked, which is now a museum dedicated to his life and work.
Giverny, France
The famous garden of Claude Monet, where he spent his last years.
The pond at Giverny, France, is a serene and picturesque scene. The water is calm, reflecting the surrounding trees and foliage. A willow tree with its branches hanging down adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The colors of the leaves range from green to yellow, indicating the changing seasons. The overall mood of the image is peaceful and inviting, capturing the beauty of nature in its most serene form.

La Bahia
La Bahia
Mission Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga, also known as Mission La Bahia, is a Catholic mission established by the Spanish in 1722 near Goliad, Texas.
After the Battle of the Alamo, the Mexican Army’s next stop was the Mission La Bahia. The fate of the inhabitants of La Bahia was a foregone conclusion.
Standing on the ramparts of the Mission, I wondered what it would have been like to stand there and know that I would probably be dead in the next few days. Would I see things differently on those last few days? Would the walls look the same? Are the closed doors prophetic?
The courtyard of the Mission San José, San Antonio, Texas.
The cannon at the Alamo, looking out over the Alamo Plaza.
The image shows an old, weathered wall with a door and a small window. The wall has significant cracks and peeling paint, indicating age and exposure to the elements. The door is simple and appears to be made of wood, with a rectangular shape and a series of vertical slats. The window is octagonal in shape, adding a unique architectural detail to the structure. The ground in front of the wall is covered with grass, suggesting that the building is located outdoors. The overall scene evokes a sense of history and abandonment.
The cross atop the church is a symbol of faith and hope, standing tall against the backdrop of the sky. The bird perched on the roof adds a touch of life to the scene, reminding us of the connection between nature and spirituality.
The interior of the house is simple and functional, with a wooden table in the center of the room. The walls are made of adobe and the floor is covered with brick tiles. There is a small window on the right side of the room, allowing natural light to enter. A cross hangs on the wall above the window, indicating that the house may have been used for religious purposes. The overall atmosphere of the room is quiet and peaceful, suggesting that it was a place of solitude and reflection.

Me and My Shadow
Me and My Shadow
“Everyone” says landscape photographers are supposed to get up really early to be in position to experience the blue hour (just before dawn) and skip the cocktail hour and dinner to take advantage of the golden hour (just before sunset). These photographic hours are worshipped because of the extreme directional light and dramatic shadows.
What does one do when those dramatic shadows include the photographer?
Snap away, I say, and make yourself part of the image.

The Badlands of South Dakota are a unique and stunning landscape, characterized by their eroded rock formations and diverse ecosystem. These formations, created over millions of years through erosion and sedimentation, create a dramatic and otherworldly terrain. The Badlands are home to a variety of plant and animal species, including rare and endangered species, making them an important conservation area. Visitors can explore the region on foot or by vehicle, taking in the breathtaking views and learning about the area's rich history and geology.

The Alabama Hills, located in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of California, are a popular destination for photographers and nature enthusiasts. The area is known for its unique rock formations, which have been shaped by wind and water over millions of years. The hills are also home to a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mule deer, and mountain lions.
The Alabama Hills are part of the Inyo National Forest, which covers an area of 1.3 million acres. The forest is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, including the endangered California condor. Visitors to the Alabama Hills can hike through the forest, camp in designated areas, or simply enjoy the stunning views from the top of the hills.
The Alabama Hills are also a popular location for film and television productions. The area has been used as a backdrop for movies such as "The Big Lebowski" and "The Dark Knight Rises." The unique rock formations and vast open spaces make the Alabama Hills an ideal location for filming.
In addition to their natural beauty, the Alabama Hills also have a rich cultural history. The area was once inhabited by the Paiute people, who used the hills as a source of food and water. Today, visitors can learn about the area's history at the Alabama Hills Visitor Center, which offers guided tours and exhibits on the region's geology and wildlife.

The Motion Path Study of Measuring Robot Based on Variable Universe Fuzzy Control
Ma Guoqing, Yu Zhenglin, Cao Guohua, Zhang Ruoyan and Zheng Yanbin
School of Mechatronic Engineering, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun 130022
Abstract. For the problem of measuring robot requires a higher positioning, firstly learning about the error overview of the system, analysed the influence of attitude, speed and other factors on systematic errors. Then collected and analyzed the systematic error curve in the track to complete the planning process. The last adding fuzzy control in both cases, by comparing with the original system, can found that the method based on fuzzy control system can significantly reduce the error during the motion.
1 Introduction
Robots are complex mechatronic system and easily influenced by external and self structure [1]. Modern control technology for solving robot self-adaptation, self-learning ability provides a powerful help. At present, the common robot control technology includes adaptive control, robust control, optimal control, neural network control and sliding mode control.
Chang-Min Ko take a heavy industrial robot as the research object, PI control and fuzzy PD control are studied respectively. The result proves that the fuzzy PD control is more effective [2]. Yu mingliang designed the fuzzy PD control and separate integral control for the mobile robot, simulation results show that the tracking error of the robot becomes very small [3]. The fuzzy control was applied to a three freedom parallel robot by Jingjun Zhang [4]. To prove the control precision of the robot is improved by using fuzzy control, ADAMS and MATLAB joint simulation were used; Gao yanfeng proved that the predictive fuzzy control is more advantage than traditional fuzzy controller by arc seam tracking experiments [5].
2 Establish a model of measuring robot
Robot kinematics study the relationship between the each joint variable and the end position, in order to describe movement or rotation relationship between the joint and the end. Denavit and Hartenberg put forward DH parameter method. This section establishing the robot joint coordinates (as shown in Fig. 1) based on DH parameter method. Its corresponding DH parameters as shown in Table 1.
$\theta$ is joint angle, which represents angle between the $x_{i-1}$ and $x_i$ axis about the $z_{i-1}$ axis;
$d$ is link offset, which represents the distance from the origin of frame $i-1$ to the $x_i$ axis along the $z_{i-1}$ axis;
$\alpha$ is link twist, which represents the angle from $z_{i-1}$ axis to the $z_i$ axis about the $x_i$ axis;
$a$ is link length, which represents the distance from the the $z_{i-1}$ axis and the $z_{i-1}$ axis along the $x_i$ axis, for intersecting axis is parallel to $z_{i-1} \times z_i$;
| Axis | $\alpha$ ($^\circ$) | $a$ (m) | $\theta$ ($^\circ$) | $d$ (mm) |
|------|---------------------|--------|-------------------|---------|
| 1 | -90 | 0.150 | 0 | 0.173 |
| 2 | 0 | 0.000 | -90 | 0.161 |
| 3 | -90 | 0.125 | 0 | 0.000 |
| 4 | 90 | 0.000 | 0 | 0.640 |
| 5 | -90 | 0.000 | 0 | 0.000 |
| 6 | 0 | 0.090 | 0 | 0.266 |
3 PID parameters optimization based on variable universe fuzzy theory
For a low stiffness series system such as a measurement robot, with a PID parameters cannot meet the control precision of the system obviously. Controller can adjust PID parameters according to the system overshoot and...
time, steady-state error, and so on, in order to achieve the purpose of optimal control. The detailed process is as follows: the object of fuzzy control is proportional gain $k_p$, integral gain $k_i$ and differential gain $k_d$. For the velocity $k_{v0}$ and acceleration feed-forward coefficient $k_{a0}$. After initial position on the robot manually setting will no longer changed.
3.1 The design of fuzzy controller
3.1.1 Language and language variable value
Fuzzy language is used to describe an object by fuzzy control, fuzzy control objects has 5. Set the language of error variable is $E$, linguistic variable error rate of change of $E$, the proportional gain correction amount of linguistic variables is $\Delta K_p$, integral gain correction amount of linguistic variables is $\Delta K_i$, differential gain correction amount of linguistic variables is $\Delta K_d$. They are the domain \{-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3\} the corresponding language is \{NB NM NS ZO PS PM PB\}, expressed great negative, negative, small medium large zero, forward small medium, large forward great.
3.1.2 Language membership function values
Membership function of fuzzy control is mainly used for object describe the extent of the value, the language is related to the actual situation of this system and the objects understanding and judgment of operator. Membership function in compliance with objective reality as the standard, the membership function have many form, commonly used trigonometric functions, Gaussian function and so on, using the trigonometric functions in this project as shown in Fig. 2, the membership function of the specific value show in Table 2:
| input | $-\mu_e$ | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|-------|----------|----|----|----|---|---|---|---|
| E | | | | | | | | |
| NB | 1 | 0.65 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| NM | 0.7 | 1 | 0.65 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| NS | 0.4 | 0.7 | 1 | 0.65 | 0.35 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| ZO | 0 | 0.3 | 0.65 | 1 | 0.65 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 |
| PS | 0 | 0 | 0.35 | 0.65 | 1 | 0.7 | 0.4 | 0 |
| PM | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.35 | 0.65 | 1 | 0.7 | 0.4 |
| PB | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 0.65 | 1 | 0.7 |
3.1.3 Language and language variable value
Fuzzy rules is composed of a series of fuzzy conditional statement, each statement on behalf of a relationship, such as when the error and error change rate is great. The output of the $\Delta K_p$ negative is great, This statement can be represented as IF $E = PB$ and $E_c = PB$ THEN $\Delta K_p = NB$. Fuzzy rules to a large extent affected the effect of fuzzy control. Here according to the experience of the engineering practice, set up $\Delta K_p$, $\Delta K_i$ and $\Delta K_d$, fuzzy rule shown in Table 3.
| $K_p$ | NB | NM | NS | ZO | PS | PM | PB |
|-------|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
| E | | | | | | | |
| NB | PB | PB | PM | PM | PS | ZO | ZO |
| NM | PB | PB | PM | PS | PS | ZO | NS |
| NS | PM | PM | PS | PS | ZO | NS | NS |
| ZO | PM | PS | PS | ZO | NS | NM | NM |
| PS | PS | PS | ZO | NS | NS | NM | NM |
| PM | PS | ZO | NS | NM | NM | NB | NB |
| PB | ZO | ZO | NM | NM | NM | NB | NB |
3.1.4 Defuzzification
The result is a collection of fuzzy reasoning, the process of transforming the fuzzy set to the output is called fuzzy solution, fuzzy methods include weighted average method and the maximum membership degree method. Maximum membership degree method, just as its name implies is to maximum membership degree in fuzzy set value corresponding linguistic variables as output. Set the output fields to A, then the output value of the maximum membership degree method is;
$$U = \{e^* | \mu(e^*) > \mu(e), e, e^* \in A\}$$ \hspace{1cm} (1)
In the actual situation of Chinese style $e^*$ may have more than one, then you can take the average or maximum minimum value, this article USES the method of minimum maximum, the description is as follows;
$$U = \text{Min}\{e^* | \mu(e^*) > \mu(e), e, e^* \in A\}$$ \hspace{1cm} (2)
3.1.5 Variable universe factor
In fuzzy control, as the error decreases, error corresponding language v

EMERGING IT MARKET TRENDS
The holidays are over, IT companies are in full speed ahead with 2020 initiatives, and we are approaching a 3-month gap before the next Federal holiday. Employee burn out in the information technology industry is a real concern for most employers. Tight deadlines, overnight shifts, and limited subject matter experts make it nearly impossible for employees to take time off. A recent study found that 37% of em ployees do not use their PTO, which results in 169 million vacation days lost, amounting to $52.4 billion (Runyon). Common reasons why employees do not use PTO include:
- Lack of additional resources to absorb responsibilities
- Confusing, negative, or vague PTO policies
- Impossible to disconnect from daily operations (Runyon)
It is a no brainer that taking time off improves employee engagement, productivity, and culture. Many information technology companies struggle to create an adequate support structure to allow shift changes, cross-training, and task reallocation.
ECCO Select has been refining information technology best practices for 25 years. ECCO Select offers competitive employee benefits packages and encourages time off for all associates. Reach out to ECCO Select today to see how we can help your team create a support

216. Manuscript:—Two accounts of the Church of England Mission Station Ekhanyeni near Pietermaritzburg, written by two Kaffir boys.
Folio. pp. 4. Contains an account by Mokonjane, son of Segezeyi, written by himself in Zulu, p. 1, and its literal translation, p. 2; another account by Skelems, son of Magwaza, written by himself in Zulu, p. 3, and its literal translation, p. 4. Presented by the Bishop of Natal.
A literal translation of the foregoing.
It came to pass when I arrived here, there came Sobantu (the Bishop) from Maritzburg. He told Mr. Sobantu (the Bishop) from Maritzburg. We told Mr. Sobantu (the Bishop) from Maritzburg. We not yet knowing how to read. We not yet knowing how to write on a slate or in a book. We not yet knowing how to write on a slate or in a book. Afterwards we knew. There arrived Sobantu (the Bishop) afterwards we knew. There arrived Sobantu (the Bishop) afterwards we knew. We sang the Song of Victoria ("God and all Shepstone." We sang the Song of Victoria ("God and all Shepstone.") in Haji. We sang many true songs, we not yet knowing others; now we know them.
Yes, indeed.— Now there was built the Sunday House (School Chapel); it was built by white men. They, the white men, are now gone away to the Slaves. After they had built them, (the houses here) they (the white men) went away again and returned to the slaves. (Mr. W. Ray)
There left us (at that time) William, our very good white man. He could not be left behind (in running) by any man, because he runs fast. Once he raced with an Englishman; they started on a line; afterwards the Englishman was beaten. He raced also with that short and very clever (man). Afterwards they sat down. Now we are taught the story of God, our Father who is in Heaven, Mukukukulu. But we black people went quite astray. But God wishes that we should do good things: He does not like the doing evil things. He forbids entirely war and hating one another. But He loves all men, for they are His people. And they (our fathers) know Him not. But the white people know Him. Only, in my part, I know not why we differ, since we are made thus by one person. Why is it that some should be white and some should be black?
Here ends the account of Alankanjane, son of Lotjenge.
Ekukonyeni siyajubula kakulu, Kuti kusihlwa sesihlile ngesonda kukale insimbi singene enhlini yokukuleka sikuleke. Gisofika Ekukonyeni ngangingakazi ukwloba. Gingakwazi ukubala incwadi, manje ngiyakwazi ukubala inavadi sesefundiswa. Kaloku siyabala siyafunda siyahlabelela amagama ka Dio. Kuti ngesonda singene enhlini yokukuleka kusasa, sikuleke. Kuti ilanga selizakuba pesulu, kukale insimbi yabelungu ibabi ze bafike ekaya sangene, enhlini yokukuleka, bakuleke bagunde izindaba zikafesu Kristu indodana ka Dio Unkulunkulu. Kuti, abelungu vapume enhlini yokukuleka: sesihla idina, sesigidi le, kukale insimbi ya bantu abamnyama.
Sibengena nati sesingena enhlini yokukuleka inkosi Usobantu esememeza kabantu bonke amazwi zikafesu Kristu indodana ka Dio. Sesikuleka sigupa pam bikwake sidumise uDio. sihlabelamama; sesipuma. Kubesikati selisakutynona ilanga. Sesihla ukulla. Sesigeda ukuhla sekukala insimbi yokubi za abelungu. Sebefika abe'ungu sesingena enhlini yokukuleka. Inkosi nom'kang sebefunsa izindaba zikafesu. Sesibuye sihlabelela amagama emva kwaleku sihlabelela igama lika Viktoria inkodi kazi yaseVgilande. Sesipuma seselala. Gemihla inkosikasi iyasifundisa ukubala imifanekiso. Sefundu ukubala nokuhlanganisa nokususa ematjeni esibala ngarvo, Sefundu incwadi yamanjise kodwa asikayazi yona 'impela. Indaba ka Skelenu indodana kakhawaz Ukupela
A literal translation of the foregoing
At Ekukangeni we are very happy. It is, at evening, after we have eaten, on Sunday, that the bell rings—we enter into the house of prayer—we pray. When I arrived at Ekukangeni, I did not yet know to write; I did not yet know to write a letter. Now I know to write a letter. We now have been taught. Now we cipher, we read, we sing hymns of God. It is, on Sunday, that we enter into the house of prayer early, we pray. It is, when the sun is high, that the white men come, they come from home; they enter into the house of prayer—they pray—they read the accounts of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Mukulukulu. It is, the white men come, they come out of the house of prayer. Now we eat dinner. When we have finished the bell, the black men ring: when they have entered, we too now enter into the house of prayer. The Chief, Sobantu (the Bishop), preaches to all the people the words of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Now we pray: we kneel down before him; we praise God; we sing hymns. Now we go out. Let it be the time that now the sun is setting, we now eat food—we now finish eating. Now the bell sounds for calling the white men; now the white men arrive; now we enter the house of prayer. The Chief and Mr. Baugh now they read the histories of Jesus Christ; now again we sing hymns. After that, we sing the hymn of Victoria, the Queen of England ("God save the Queen")—in Ngi.—Now we go out; now we sleep.
Daily, the Lady (Mrs. Colenso) teaches us to draw pictures. Now we learn to measure and to add, and to subtract on the slate which we have on. Now we read a book of the English: but we do not know that perfectly.
This is the account of Skelena, the son of Magwara.

Abstract
Retinal vessel segmentation is generally grounded in image-based datasets collected with bench-top devices. The static images naturally lose the dynamic characteristics of retina fluctuation, resulting in diminished dataset richness, and the usage of bench-top devices further restricts dataset scalability due to its limited accessibility. Considering these limitations, we introduce the first video-based retinal dataset by employing handheld devices for data acquisition. The dataset comprises 635 smartphone-based fundus videos collected from four different clinics, involving 415 patients from 50 to 75 years old. It delivers comprehensive and precise annotations of retinal structures in both spatial and temporal dimensions, aiming to advance the landscape of vasculature segmentation. Specifically, the dataset provides three levels of spatial annotations: bundle-vessel masks for overall retinal structure delineation, general vein-artery masks for distinguishing the vein and artery, and fine-grained vein-artery masks for further characterizing the granularities of each artery and vein. In addition, the dataset offers temporal annotations that capture the vessel visualisation characteristics, assisting in diagnosing ocular diseases that require fine-grained recognition of hemodynamics fluctuation. In application, our dataset exhibits a significant domain shift with respect to data captured by bench-top devices, thus posing great challenges to existing methods. Thanks to rich annotations and data scales, our dataset potentially paves the path for more advanced retinal analysis and accurate disease diagnosis. In the experiments, we provide evaluation metrics and benchmark results on our dataset, reflecting both the potential and challenges it offers for vessel segmentation tasks. We hope this challenging dataset would significantly contribute to the development of eye disease diagnosis and early prevention. The dataset is available at \url{RVD}.
1 Introduction
The observation of the retinal vasculature patterns serves as a reliable approach to tracking the morphological changes of eyes over time. These morphological changes have been found to be closely associated with a spectrum of ocular diseases, e.g., diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma [83, 14]. Retinal vessel segmentation aims to provide pixel-level extraction of the visible vasculature from a fundus image [56]. It is the initial yet fundamental step in objectively assessing vasculature in fundus images and quantitatively interpreting associated morphometrics. Thus, this task plays a pivotal role in understanding and diagnosing ocular diseases.
Existing methods for retinal vessel segmentation are designed on image-based datasets [38, 72, 69, 25], as shown in Fig. 1 (a). Although these datasets have contributed valuable vessel annotations for studying retinal segmentation, the static nature of images inherently limits their ability to portray dynamic retinal characteristics, e.g., vessel pulsations. These dynamic phenomena play a vital role in facilitating comprehensive and in-depth understanding of retinal functionality and vasculature structure. Moreover, image-based datasets are captured by expensive bench-top ophthalmic equipment, which is operated by professionally trained clinicians [31, 34]. Such requirements potentially limit the scale of the datasets and data diversity, thereby adversely affecting the generalization ability of the models trained on these datasets.
In recent years, advances in imaging technology have enabled the usage of smartphone-based devices for retinal observation [79, 32]. They offer better flexibility and portability, allowing for scalable data collection. In this paper, we introduce the first video-based retinal vessel dataset (RVD), a collection of 635 smartphone-based videos with detailed vessel annotation. These videos are recorded from four clinics, including patients from 50 to 75 years old. Some examples of our dataset are shown in Fig. 1 (b). The sequential frames capture the continuous changes in retinal vessels and thus significantly facilitate the analysis of subtle fluctuations in the retinal structure. Therefore, the use of portable devices for data acquisition and the provision of the video modality remarkably overcome the limitations of existing datasets.
The annotations provided in our dataset span two dimensions: spatial and temporal. In the spatial dimension, we offer three distinct levels of annotations: binary vessel masks, general vein-artery masks, and fine-grained vein-artery masks. Each kind of annotation is tailored to specific clinical purposes. Specifically, for the binary vessel masks, we identify the sharpest and most representative frame from the video clip and generate binary masks representing the skeletal structure of the vessels. This mask primarily targets the holistic vessel structure but neglects the difference between arteries and veins. For general vein-artery masks, we differentiate veins and arteries based on their respective vessel calibres and generate separate masks for them respectively. Lastly, in contrast to the general differentiation between arteries and veins, the fine-grained vein-artery masks further divide each retinal artery and vein into sections based on a set of pre-defined vessel widths. We thus generate eight different vein-artery masks for each sample and these masks precisely reflect the granularities of retinal vessels. These sophisticated masks are highly demanded when detecting ocular diseases [3, 9].
In the temporal dimension, we enrich our dataset with annotations of the complex dynamics of retinal vasculature. For each video, we focus on the optic disk regions where the retinal vessel fluctuation normally occurs. We then select and annotate frames with the maximal and minimal pulse widths as well as label the existence of spontaneous retinal venous pulsations (SVP). The existence and extent of vessel changes signify vascular pulsations and cranial pressure-related alterations. Clinically, the signals of pulsation facilitate the detection of abnormalities in retinal vessels, while precise identification of pressure-related alterations aids in detecting temporally-dependent ocular diseases. Our integration of temporal annotations thus increases its potential for ocular disease diagnosis.
The distinction between smartphone-based and benchtop devices and data modality differences result in domain gaps, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Furthermore, since our data are collected by handheld devices
in clinics, our dataset also involves more realistic factors, e.g., the operations of the clinicians, surrounding illumination conditions, and eye movements of patients during video capture. Consequently, our dataset presents more challenges for existing vessel segmentation methods. More importantly, the large number of training samples and detailed annotations in our

- Kevin and the Blues Groovers
At 23-years old, fast-rising star Kevin Gullage leads his band of veteran players, The Blues Groovers, with the poise of a seasoned performer. His impressive blend of soulful singing and dazzling blues piano infused with the experience of his bandmates is leaving audiences in awe. Born into a musical family in New Orleans, LA, Kevin Gullage showed prodigious signs of musical talent and followed in his father’s footsteps, embracing his passion for music as an instrumentalist, singer, and writer. Growing up interacting with artists such as Henry Butler, Gary Brown, Carol Fran and others in the New Orleans music scene influenced the development of Kevin’s musicianship and style from a young age. Kevin began his career as a multi-instrumentalist, but eventually turned his musical focus to piano. His passion for piano would lead him to study music at the prestigious New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, The Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp (whose alumni include Jon Batiste, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, and “Big Sam” Williams) and later Loyola University New Orleans.
At age 18, Kevin was selected as the pianist for the 2017 Thelonious Monk All-Star Sextet performing alongside jazz legend, Bobby Watson. The same year, he was invited to perform with the multi-Grammy winning band Blues Traveler at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Kevin has appeared in several movies including The Last Laugh starring Chevy Chase and Burning Cane starring Wendell Pierce. His voice was also featured in the 2019 release of Disney’s Lady & The Tramp.
In 2019, Kevin & the Blues Groovers became a resident artist at B.B. King’s Blues Club, New Orleans. With a resounding demand from their growing fan-base, Kevin recorded his first EP entitled Blues for the City.

Wednesday Rides
Wednesday Wanderers ride
I haven't led many rides recently for very good logistical reasons, so when the opportunity arose I stepped manfully in. However on the day Jen and I met the perfect storm of problems getting to Hornbeam in time for the start. Someone had decided to smash their's and someone else's cars into Harewood Bridge, leaving us with an about turn back to Pool and the ensuing queues that had built up, both in Pool and at the Harrogate by-pass roundabout. Fortunately, with liberal use of the mobile phone Jenny managed to contact enough people so that everyone knew what had happened to us. My thanks go to whoever stepped in and did the shouting bit at Hornbeam with the information on the different rides, because I was also co-opted for that duty. Also thanks to Dennis who took some of the Wanderers off on a hastily composed route.
I thought at this point I had managed to get out of the responsibility of leading, but others had a different idea. A posse of 10 riders were waiting for me to arrive, not in the Hornbeam car park, but at the end of Beech Road where I usually park (absolutely no escape). Thanks! to the gallant 10 who waited. Lovely day for cycling and like Brian Hanrahan (BBC corespondent) 'I counted them all out, and I counted them all back'. Not even the perils of Duck Street and its maniac lorry drivers, the rolling terrain around Thruscross reservoir, or the rather abrupt service at the 'Cobby Syke' Farm Shop Cafe seemed to put them off. Two of the group went back early and the rest carried on manfully (sorry Liz, also womanfully) around the res.
Looking at this picture halfway around Thruscross, I was beginning to wonder if the seven were going to 'bale' out on me. There were mutterings of them being used as cannon 'fodder' and someone thought it was the last 'straw'. Ah well at least the emogi's looked as though they were enjoying themselves (now is that the back row or the front?). From an indifferent start a reasonable ride was had by all (I think). Glyn
Long Ride
The Long Ride was leaderless this morning as Terry Smith was off to join the Awayday Ride. The general consensus of the thirteen riders was to head for Easingwold and take it from there. Leaving Hornbeam Park in dribs and drabs we reassembled at Low Bridge. Following some jolly banter with EG's it was off to Boroughbridge. At Boroughbridge it was decided to form two groups and PCJ was elected to lead the faster group. After some discussion we settled on a circuitous route to Easingwold taking in Brafferton, a zig-zag across the A19, and after some indecision around Husthwaite we headed for Oulston. Unfortunately, disaster struck as Paul's rear axle attachments parted company. We now headed directly to
Easingwold with Paul nursing his bike all the way. Arriving at Easingwold we found that the EGs were already ensconced at TeeHee! so it was the Sugar Mouse for us. After having had refreshments we left Paul waiting for his "taxi". The return journey was less eventful with a return route of Alne, Thorpe Underwood, Whixley, Cowthorpe and Knaresborough. PCJ
EG's Ride
On the way down to Low Bridge I got caught in the slipstream of Wheeleasy`s "A" team as they headed for Easingwold, now there`s a coincidence they must have read the day like the EG`s.
After last weeks small numbers we had a good number of likely lads at Low Bridge ie sixteen in total.
A big welcome to the following.
Bob Shears back with us for a short ride, he has sometimes to nip back to the service station for a tune up, so today it was shortish ride and then perhaps a fine tune up before upping the mileage.
Alan Banister (with one n ) nice to see you riding with us.
Also from the deep south (still in Yorkshire though) Terry Wadkin on his Italian push bike. All Wheeleasy knows the way to Easingwold so there will be no route description except to say the men`s downhill trophy was wrested from Dave (wonderwheels) Siswick, by Geoff by half a wheel, nice one.
Bob left us at Boroughbridge for his coffee, the rest of us (in groups of course) headed for Easingwould, and Dave P`s day was made.
Coffee/tea and beans were taken in cafe in the square by all of us, we were also joined for a time by Wheeleasy`s "A" team from Hornbeam Carpark.
The group then split again to return by their different ways.
A small group consisting of Bill, Dave P, Dave Watson, Norman and Roy headed for home. At Branton Green a bannana break was taken together with a discussion on keys and chords, a cord on your key stops it getting lost, however the lost chord was not found, which is understandable because being EG`s we would not be able to remember where we had put it in the first place.
Amongst our group there may have been some riders who thought Easingwold was a bridge to far, however getting to a destination is not the be all and end all, its how you get back, and this was done in fine style, congratulations to everybody, and thanks for a great and sociable ride, Oh! and the laughs. Dave P.
Poddler's Ride
Unfortunately there was a car crash on Harewood Bridge which caused Glyn and me to be late getting to Hornbeam. After a quick dash to Killinghall, I met up with Monica and Jane, and we were soon off to Fountains Abbey, where scones and coffee were consumed. The view from the deer park was stunning on this beautiful autumn day. We cycled through Ripon, Bishop Monkton, and were soon back to the Drovers, and whizzing back to Ripley. Monica and I then left Jane at Ripley, and chatted our way down the Greenway back to Harrogate. Well done Jane for doing a hilly ride without complaint! 34 miles. Jen Appleyard
Trailer Ride
11 riders (ones alarm failed to go off!) gathered in the dark at 6.30(ish) to load the bikes for this months Awayday ride which was based around using the bike trailer.
Once loaded we set off and watched the sun get up as we made our way to Kirkby Lonsdale to start our ride.
Once there we were joined by Ian who had taken a day off work and was combining the ride with a trip on the Settle to Carlisle line and had made his own way there.
The weather forecast had been predicted to be OK but no expected the brilliantly sunny, blue and clear skies we experienced all day which made a fantastic back drop for the ride. As with all Colin' routes we were quickly climbing out of the town as we made our way towards Barbondale when Matthew had a puncture after we had gone along a path where the hedges had been cut. The only compensation was a great view over towards Kirby Lonsdale!
Back on the road we had a magnificent ride up Barbondale and then down into Dentdale for our first stop at Sedbergh. After the early start the coffee and cake were enjoyed by all before we got on our way again.
A steady climb out of Sedbergh and onto the country road that would take us over to Orton. This section of the ride was magic-there is no other word for it! The blue sky, sun on our backs, the Howgills at their best and good company as we made our way into Cumbria. We watched the cars ploughing along the M6 in the distance and quickly decided we knew what we preferred.
After crossing the M6 by an underpass we made our way to the Orson Scar cafe for a late lunch. We have been before on our Awaydays and the service, again, was efficient, friendly and the food tasty- definitely one of our favourite cafes to visit on awayday rides. Suitably refreshed we were ready to tackle the climb over to Appleby. Ian left us to go along the main road to enable him to be certain to get his train and the rest of us set off to climb up towards Orton Scar and the highest point of the ride.
The sun had gone in by now but the views were still not bad as we made our way across the moor and then down into Appleby to meet the trailer and then the ride home. 42 miles,
Thanks to Colin for another great route, for the good company of everyone on the ride, to Norrie of Sherwoods coaches who did a great job with getting us there and back and most of all for the Awayday spell which provided us, once again, with superb weather. Kevin
2850 feet of climbing in wonderful weather that showed off the area at its best. Another great ride which everyone enjoyed in great company.Ian,Jeremy and Matthew were awarded their 'Colin' badges as this was their first Awayday ride. And after quickly loading up we set off back home tired by well pleased with the days cycling.

ABOUT RESEARCH
Members of the MINT (Market Interactions) Research Center study the complex and dynamic interactions in and between markets, consumers and society. They deploy a broad range of research methods to better understand these interactions from three different perspectives. First, they look at the relations between different stakeholders (relationality) in on-line communities, marketplace encounters, and in established and alternative market systems. Secondly, they consider the materiality of such relations (materiality) as instantiated in brands, technological interfaces, products and commons. Thirdly, they are also curious about the moral dimensions of these interactions (morality) as present in local versus global tensions, marketing managers' (mis)conduct, and practices of ideological contestation and resistance. By looking at these interactions, we aim to generate theoretical, managerial, and political insights toward a healthy, fair, and sustainable future. Members of the MINT Research Center have published in top academic journals, including Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Public Policy and Marketing, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Business Research, Industrial Marketing Management Journal, Psychology &
Marketing, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Management, Marketing Theory, and Journal of Interactive Marketing.
SKEMA Business School offers publication bonuses for peer-reviewed publications, following the French CNRS Journals Ranking list.

A PBPK MODEL FOR COBICISTAT, A POTENTIAL STRONG CYP3A4 INHIBITOR FOR CLINICAL DDI STUDIES WITH CYP3A4 VICTIM DRUGS
L Almond, AB Ke and K Rowland‐Yeo
Simcyp (a Certara company), Blades Enterprise Centre, Sheffield, UK
Background
‐ Since the use of ketoconazole was discontinued, investigators have assessed and proposed alternative strong CYP3A4 inhibitors for use in Phase I clinical DDI studies.
‐ One such alternative is Cobicistat (COBI), a potent CYP3A4 inactivator that was developed specifically as a pharmacokinetic booster.
‐ COBI exhibits non linear PK due to auto‐inhibition of CYP3A4‐mediated elimination routes. However, a quantitative estimate of the fractional contribution of CYP3A4 (fm CYP3A4 ) to the elimination of COBI, that would be required to model auto‐inhibition, is currently unavailable in the literature.
‐ We present a PBPK model for COBI that can be used to assess the DDI liability of drugs in development that are metabolised by CYP3A4.
Methods
‐ A model workflow was devised to develop a PBPK model for COBI as a perpetrator using prior clinical and in vitro data to recover the multiple dose (MD) exposure after dosing of 100 mg and 200 mg QD (Figure 1).
‐ In vitro inactivation parameters 2 , corrected for non‐specific binding, were included in the model and the predicted interaction with midazolam (10 trials of age matched virtual subjects; Simcyp V15) was compared to corresponding observed data.
Results
‐ The developed model was able to recover the MD exposure of COBI after 100 and 200 mg QD; predicted and observed 1 AUC (0,Ƭ) values were 3.44 and 3.41 and 16.1 and 16.2 mg/L.h, respectively (Figure 2).
‐ The predicted midazolam AUC (0,∞) ratios were within 1.25 fold of the observed for both regimens; ratios were 13.4 and 12.9, and 19.0 and 20.7 for 100 and 200mg QD, respectively. The predicted midazolam C max ratios were within 2‐fold of observed 1 (Figure 3).

COBI concentration‐time profiles following administration of a) 100mg QD and b) 200mg QD for 14
days.
Data shown as the mean of each trial (n=15; grey lines) and the mean of the overall population (10 x n=15; black lines).
Figure 3. Simulated exposure and C max & AUC ratios of midazolam before (solid line) and after (dashed line) MD COBI a) 100mg QD and b) 200mg QD for 14 days. Data shown as the mean of each trial (n=12; grey lines) and the mean of the overall population (10 x n=12; black lines).
‐ Even at the lower dose (100mg), simulations indicated profound inactivation of CYP3A4 in the liver and gut (Figure 4).
‐ Although there were no clinical midazolam DDI data following single dose of COBI, use of the corresponding CLpo inputs into the model also recovered the single dose exposure of COBI (100‐400 mg).
Conclusions
‐ Although the model presented here is not fully mechanistic, in that it does not consider auto‐inhibition or other issues relating to its complex disposition, this "fit‐for‐purpose model" can be used to further investigate the potential of COBI as a perpetrator of CYP3A4‐mediated interactions.
‐ Ongoing verification of the model using CYP3A4 substrate drugs and drugs in development can help ensure prediction accuracy of the DDI liability of COBI.
‐ Further work is required to derive and incorporate a quantitative estimate of fm CYP3A4 . This would then allow auto‐inhibition to be propagated into simulations, replacing the need to use dose and regimen‐specific CLpo input data.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE
To review researches done on coffee consumption benefits and risks on human health.
RESULTS
Coffee has many chemical compounds like caffeine, diterpene, alcohols, and chlorogenic acid, that make it valuable for human health when used at per recommended level. Consumption of 3 up to 5 cups as standard daily is believed to prevent
different kinds of chronic illnesses. The coffee drink is linked with the prevention of several illnesses, including Parkinson's disease, liver disease, and Diabetes mellitus, helps to burn fat, increases our physical routine, boosts mood, and decreases
depression and suicide risk. It also reduces the risk of dementia, stroke, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Side effects are related to overdrinking and it can be controlled by consuming an appropriate amount of coffee in a day. Some groups, including
people with hypertension, pregnant women, children, and the elderly are prone to the side effects of coffee and they have to limit their intake. Even though coffee has been associated with a lot of health benefits, more research is needed to identify its
effect on health, possible future use as a remedy, and safe level of consumption considering its preparation and factors like age, sex, and different health issues.

INTRODUCTION
Coffee is
the most
regularly consumed,
pharmacologically active caffeine-containing beverage and the second most traded commodity next to edible oil
[1]. It was discovered in Africa and through time distributed to different countries around the globe [2].
Coffea arabica L.
is classified under the genus Coffea, and the
Rubiaceae family [3]. Arabica coffee is highly
observed due to its high quality of test and it accounts for about 64% of the world’s total coffee production [4].
Coffee drinking is a vital regular part of daily life and most people start a day with coffee [5].

Consumers drink coffee for energy and pleasure [6]. Most caffeine is consumed in the morning hours, often at breakfast, when alertness is lowest, and very little in the evening before sleep [7].
The Active Ingredients of Coffee
Coffee is a complex beverage containing >1,000 compounds and the main constituents are caffeine, diterpene alcohols, chlorogenic acid and also minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids [9]. Several micronutrients are found in coffee, including magnesium, potassium, niacin, and vitamin E [9]. These compounds make coffee exert its biological effect on the physiological action of our body.
Coffee's Mechanisms of Action
The favorable effect of coffee is explained by many reasonable mechanisms due to the existence of a diversity of biological constituents [1]. The top identified compound is caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) due to its physiological effects as a bronchodilator, stimulant of the central nervous system, and causing increment in blood circulation, and respiration [10]. It is the key compound thru which coffee can influence many pathways in our body system.
Coffee has a tremendous impact on reducing the genesis and progression of different diseases through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and also by inhibiting carcinogenesis. Coffee beans contain phenolic antioxidant compounds and the major polyphenol is chlorogenic acid [5]. Chlorogenic acid compounds are recognized to contribute significantly to the antioxidant property of coffee [11]. It also activates the endogenous antioxidant defense system by increasing plasma levels of glutathione [12]. Cafestol and kahweol also can regulate a variety of inflammatory mediators to reduce inflammation [13]. In addition, the two coffee diterpenes can prevent cancer from occurring by blocking the activation of carcinogens and improving liver detoxification function and they can also inhibit tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis [13].
Pharmacokinetics
Caffeine is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and small intestine and then goes to all tissues, including the brain [14]. For humans, it takes around 15 to 120 minutes from the point of oral intake to the peak level of concentration in plasma [15]. Caffeine is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes, in particular, CYP1A2 [16]. In adults, caffeine is metabolized to 1-methyl uric acid and 1methylxanthine, and only one to five percent of consumed caffeine is found in the urine unchanged [17].
The elimination half-life of caffeine ranges between 3 and 7 hours and can be influenced by many factors, including sex, age, use of oral contraceptives, pregnancy, and smoking, and its half-life has been reported to be 2030% shorter in females than in males [17]. Smoking greatly accelerates caffeine metabolism, reducing the half-life by up to 50%, whereas oral contraceptive use doubles the half-life of caffeine [16]. Pregnancy greatly reduces caffeine metabolism, especially in the third trimester, when the half-life of caffeine can be up to 15 hours [16]. And also, several quinolone antibacterial agents, including pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, and pipemidic acid, have been seen to reduce methylxanthine clearance [15].
Coffee itself can affect some other drugs, hence caffeine may inhibit the hepatic metabolism of the antipsychotic medications, decrease the elimination of theophylline increase the risk of toxicity of these drugs, and decreases serum concentrations of lithium by enhancing its elimination [9]. Thus, patients on antipsychotic drugs and lithium should limit their coffee intake.
Different Ways of Coffee Preparations
The caffeine content of coffee is dependent on its method of preparation and the product brand [17]. Depending on the brewing processes, three major types of coffee can be distinguished: (i) boiled unfiltered coffee, (ii) filtered coffee, and (iii) decaffeinated coffee (DC) [18].
A higher amount of titratable acids like caffeoylquinic acid and antioxidant properties are found in hot brew coffee, than that in the cold brew [11]. Roasting and processing methods may degrade several compounds, like antioxidant polyphenols and others that might be an important determinant for coffee functions.
Safety Standard
Coffee intake is determined by coffee cup size, the concentration of the brew, and frequency of consumption [5]. In epidemiological studies, one cup is often assumed to provide 85mg-100 mg of caffeine [9]. But, cup size may vary based on the population and the concentration of caffeine can vary on its preparation [9]. In healthy people between the age of 18 and 65, a daily dosage of 400 mg of caffeine does not increase well-being worries according to European Food Safety Authority [19]. Consumption of 2 up to 3 cups in a day is safe and has no side effects to beneficial according to various health studies [8]. But these estimations didn't consider age, sex, and other health issues.
Uses of Coffee for Human Health
Most research done previously suggests long-term coffee consumption can decrease the risk of many diseases and its effects depend on the up-on amount of caffeine contained, sex, age, and diet [20]. Regular coffee consumption is linked to reducing the risk of many c

EHS Management Systems
Overview:
Pfizer's Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Management Systems (EHSMS) framework is risk-based and designed to meet Pfizer's continually evolving and dynamic business and operating model. The risk-based approach offers flexibility, within defined boundaries, to apply alternative solutions that deliver equivalent levels of protection. The framework describes mandatory controls where there is potential for high consequence events and also presents risk control measures aligned with contemporary industry practices.
Pfizer's Global EHS team maintains a series of documents detailing the key components of Pfizer's EHSMS. These documents are designed to protect the environment and the health and safety of our colleagues and the communities in which we operate by establishing consistent risk thresholds while allowing our operations flexibility to make decisions to manage risk most effectively. The following diagram illustrates the EHSMS documentation structure:

Describes HOW to achieve the outcomes we expect. "Recommended Practices", where provided, are the starting point for designing site programs
(cont. on next page)
Pfizer's Corporate EHS Policy is positioned at the top of the structure. The policy establishes the company's overall commitment to protect the health and safety of colleagues and protect the environment, while achieving high standards of Environmental, Health and Safety performance.
At the next level, the Systems Manual presents a high level overview of the EHSMS.
Pfizer's EHS Standards make up the third tier of the documentation structure. The Standards are arranged into four categories:
(cont. on next page)
Breakthroughs that
Breakthroughs that change patients' lives
Pfizer's Management Systems Standards (Series 100) are based on and aligned with the Plan-Do-Check-Act model. These Standards require facilities to:
* Assess and prioritize risks
* Establish goals to address highest priority risks and opportunities
* Document the processes used to accomplish those goals
* Evaluate progress and adjust processes as needed to address issues and ensure continual improvement
The Plan-Do-Check-Act model of Pfizer's EHSMS conforms to external management system recognition standards such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and OHSA VPP and is considered at least equivalent to these standards.
Pfizer leadership is accountable for ensuring compliance with EHS Standards. Leadership teams are responsible for assigning responsibilities and providing resources to ensure compliance with performance expectations.
Business units, divisions and facilities are responsible for implementing EHS Standards applicable to their operations (by referring to the Scope and Applicability sections of the Standard).
Implementation Documents make up the fourth and final tier of the structure. These documents, known as Recommended Practices, Reference Documents and Global Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), describe practical and recommended methods for conforming to EHS Standards.
Recommended Practices (RPs) are:
* Developed for situations that present significant risk to Pfizer, where, if not well-managed, the consequences of an incident would be severe (e.g., fatality, significant health impact, release, fire/ explosion leading to significant liability, harm to reputation, or business interruption) and where approaches/techniques are established and proven to be effective
* Created by technical experts and subjected to a formal review and approval process
* Mandatory (subject to the exception criteria below) because they are the accepted method for managing key risk areas
Exception: Operations wishing to adopt an alternative to a Recommended Practice must employ a risk based decision making (RBDM) process to verify that the alternative achieves comparable control of risk.
Reference Documents are:
* Provided by the relevant Communities/Networks of Practice as aids to program implementation for particular EHS Standards
* Non-mandatory; operations are not required to implement program elements and/or performance requirements included in Reference Documents; Global SOPs are detailed specifications that support Global EHS/Risk Management programs
Each component of the system is designed to work interdependently in an integrated manner that continually reinforces the common objective of improving EHS performance. To ensure sustainability of the EHSMS, Pfizer facilities are required to establish formal processes for core system components and to evaluate their effectiveness regularly.

Hymn 137
MENDELSSOHN
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! The herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King; peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!" Joyful all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn king!"
Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the ever lasting Lord! Late in time behold him come, offspring of the virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail the incarnate Deity, pleased on earth with us to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn king!"
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with the healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die, born to raise all souls on earth, born to give us second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn king!"
Prayer of Confession
(unison)
God of Bethlehem: you bless us richly; forgive our reluctance to share. You hold us close to your heart; forgive us for keeping others at arm's length. You shine in the shadows of our souls; forgive us for not sharing the Light. You lift us from where we have fallen; forgive us for not offering a helping hand. You grace us with joy; forgive us when we worship fear. Hear our prayers… (moments for silent reflections)

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Hymn 149
CAROL
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to all, from heaven great news we bring." The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long, beneath the angel strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and we, through bitter wars, hear not the love-song which they bring: O hush the noise and end the strife, to hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life's crushing load whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way, with painful steps and slow, look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing!
For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

| SFDRR | Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 |
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, adopted by the UN Member States in 2015, is designed to support the reduction of existing levels of risk and prevent new risks from emerging. In particular, it aims to substantially reduce disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health, and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries. The risks addressed by the Sendai Framework relate to both natural and man-made hazards, and small and large-scale, frequent and infrequent, and sudden and slow-onset disasters.
The Sendai Framework includes the guiding principle that “Disaster risk reduction requires an all-of-society engagement and partnership. It also requires empowerment and inclusive, accessible and non-discriminatory participation, paying special attention to people disproportionately affected by disasters, especially the poorest.” In that way, embedding disaster risk reduction and integrating it into the very culture of governance and daily work, is key to the success of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Sendai Framework recognises that the State has the primary role in reducing disaster risk. That responsibility, however, should be shared with all stakeholders, including local governments and the private sector. Accountability is an integral part of good governance. Those who are entrusted with the responsibility for handling various aspects of governance should be held accountable for what they are expected to do to ensure a significant reduction in disaster risks.
Disasters know no borders. Climate change and rapid urbanisation are adding to the mix of existing risks such as poverty, poor governance, poor land use, social exclusion, environmental degradation and human rights issues. Based on scientific evidence and practical knowledge, properly applied disaster risk reduction supports resilience and economic growth. This can alleviate societal tensions, limit the likelihood of conflicts and mitigate the impact of hazards on society.
While the world has made some progress on reducing human losses due to disasters, there is still a long road ahead of us in avoiding the creation of new risks and reducing existing ones for the generations to come.

**Club Activities**
- **Jesse Besser Museum Activity for July**
On Saturday, July 25 from 12 - 2pm, the Besser Museum will host a free Family Fun Day featuring the topic of fishing. We have an awesome fish exhibit by Ralph Bolda and Betsy Willis that we will be highlighting that day. We have also asked the Woodcarvers if they would display their fish pieces and maybe work on making wooden lures or just work on their pieces during the program. We have asked Howard Lahti if he could demonstrate how to do a fish boil; he said we would need to get about 50lbs of fish donated for his demonstration and to allow visitors to have a small sample of fish. We would like to invite the Walleye Club to participate by demonstrating how to properly clean fish and what to look for when cleaning fish, and demonstrate how to make crawler harnesses.
I have also spoken with Bruce Kirschner and he will be contacting the president of the bass club; we would like them to do casting lessons with a small wading pool in the backyard. I am thinking of contacting someone to tell fishing stories or give great fishing tips; I was thinking Steve Speaks.
If you have other ideas to add to a fishing day program please let me know. I think this a great way for the Besser Museum to complement the Brown Trout Festival. I will be attending your June 10 meeting to present my idea to your club.
Thank you,
Chris Witulski
Education Curator
Besser Museum of Northeast Michigan

- **Fish Cleaning –Carl Kelly**
Similar to the cormorant harvests, the fish cleaning has been sluggish due to the weather but will pick up as the weather straightens around allowing the DNR to get on the water. He would like to increase to a total of four teams; he currently has two on standby at this time. If you are interested in being part of this program, please telephone Carl ASAP @ 356-4694.
• **Jim Johnson- Speaker at the May Meeting**
Jim Johnson was the speaker of the month and everyone reported that Jim did a great job at presenting the material on reef development for the big lake and were really excited about the possibilities that it might provide for habitat. He stated that they are targeting three existing reefs off of Lafarge and are looking to increase it by 800’ in length and 30’ wide. The DNR recognizes that the efforts will also assist the other species but sees it as an opportunity to increase natural production in the area near the river mouth for spawning walleye.
In addition, Jim targeted on issues on a commercial fisherman in Tawas who is suing the DNR for violating his believed constitutional rights to harvest walleye on the Saginaw Bay by not responding to his request for such permits. If you are interested in reading the article, you can locate it in *The Bay City Times*, May 12, 2009 edition. It is worth the time to read it.
Jim also discussed the samples that are necessary from club members to identify the stomach contents of the local fish and would appreciate any members’ assistance providing this valuable information. He thought that a club tournament would be a great time to get this information.
Thanks Jim for taking the time to visit our club with all this valuable information.
**Club News**
• **Lincoln Lions Fishing Tournament**
The Lions are hosting their 26th annual fishing tournament for salmon, trout, and walleye starting on June 10th and ending the 14th. If you are interested in getting information for this event, you can contact Jon Krutlin @ 354-2020 or the contact from the Lions @ day 989-736-8151 or evening 989-471-5557.
• **Captain Ed Update on Cormorants**
There has not been a great deal of success due to the poor weather, lots of wind, to harvest the birds. They will report when they more to discuss.
• **Walleye Club Clothing**
If you are interested in getting a Walleye Club jacket, please give Steve Hubert a call @ 657-4646, so he can make it worthwhile to put orders together. It is really not a cost saver to order one jacket at a time. If you plan on getting one, call ahead, so he can plan for orders. Steve will have hats, t-shirts etc. at the monthly meetings for you to purchase. The Club ordered 36 Hanes fleece pullover-hooded sweatshirts in various colors and sizes for $25.00.
✓ We have specialty items that have been ordered: 2 jackets (Bob and Sam), medium sweatshirts, large window sticker (Joseph Cumi) which should to be picked up at this meeting or arrangements made to be picked up and paid for.
• **TBWC Web Site**
You can access the new web page at [www.tbwalleye.com](http://www.tbwalleye.com). Todd already put some information out there for us and would gladly take any additional information that you might have such as pictures or news. The sight is under development at this point. You should take a minute and see what it looks like and give us some input on what you would like to see on the web sight. If you have any pictures to add, you can do so on the web site or by contacting Todd through the web site. You can also BLOG (say what’s on your mind) on this web sight. Please keep it to fishing related topics.
• **Big Bite Baits**
We will have product available at the June meeting for those that have an interest in trying the baits that John discussed at the February meeting. Romeo will have it available at all meetings and those interested in getting it outside meeting times will need to make arrangements with him. You can contact him for more detail. We have some jigs, and biobait. I will not be at the meeting due softball and will enlist someone’s assistance (Gregg you have been chosen AGAIN) to get the material there. I will have everything priced @ $5. You can also give me a call if you are not able to make it. I will also keep some with me at the tournaments and when I go fishing.
• **Brown Trout**
It is that time of the year the club volunteers it’s time to help the Brown Trout with various tasks from weighing fish to serving beer. The schedule is not cast in stone yet but I did get a preliminary schedule which is nearly a duplicate of last year. There will be a special USPS mailing to all current members detailing the schedule along with duties for each as well as raffle tickets for the Club Car XRT 1550 Utility Vehicle and Trailer.
Your help is needed to make this another success for the club. This is our only fund raiser to help support the fishing related activities the club does for the community.
**Club Tournaments**
• **Night Eyes, May 29th and 30th, 2009**
It was quite a two-day tournament with an intolerable amount of cold and wind. Friday proved to be a challenge with the wind changing on Wednesday pushing all the warm water out and to the west. Those that had been pre-fishing found that their plans were going to change and would have to find new water or bang out what had been working before the tournament. Many of us that went out and found fish earlier in the week found that they were gone come Wednesday and Thursday. Friday was windy and choppy and proved to be the better of the two nights and allowed people to move around to some extent. A few boats headed south and most remained in the bay to hit the spots that were working earlier like Grass Island, Partridge Point, North Shore, the Humps, Sulfer, and the Big Reef. Those that did well boated fish while the majority tried to bang at least three to remain in the hunt for the next day. Leading the pack in day one were: Hubert’s 5 fish, LaPlaunt 5 fish, and Skiba 5 fish. When everyone arrived at the harbor, the weather forecast did not look promising for anyone heading more than one mile offshore because the wind was
clipping at 10-20 out of the North West, and you could see the white caps just off the break wall. Gregg and I were one of the last to launch and watched as Moose, Steve, and Jim screamed inside of Sulfur to run south, and we could see the pounding that they were taking. This in no way was the beating that all thre

A Three Dimensional Modeller for Art and Design Education
Charles Monkhouse
Chesterfield College of Technology and Arts
Introduction
The original brief for this project was to explore the use of the micro computer for the teaching and promotion of three dimensional understanding in education. Initially it had been intended to adapt existing software, but it soon became apparent that there were no suitable packages for this work. Not only were there very few three dimensional modellers in existence which could meet the resources of education, but these were based on an ancestry of draughting and engineering, presenting often complex and unsympathetic environments for art and design users.
Consequently it became necessary to create a new environment for this purpose to which would be added a scheme of work for introducing and teaching three dimensional concepts. The name adopted for this environment was Timaeus, borrowed from the Platonic dialogue which describes the construction of the universe.
References and Precedents
Three dimensional form and spatial understanding are areas of vital importance to almost all design and production and yet areas which our education provides no real strategy for teaching. The urgent need of such a strategy is argued by Professor Bruce Archer, but this task is made difficult by the lack of academic literature directly applicable to these studies. Consequently precedents were sought principally from the field of art and design and its main practitioners.
Perhaps because of the individualist and practical nature of art and design education, less has been written about these practices than might be expected. One notable exception is Keith Critchlow’s Order in Space. His clear and precise introduction of solid geometry and non rectilinear structure provided both an inspiration and challenge to designing Timaeus. Similarly Edvard Lanteri’s Modelling and Sculpture provided a lucid account of the stages and procedures traditionally used in sculpture.
The work of many artists and designers was examined, particularly their drawings. Most influential was the printmaker Piranesi, whose Carseri etchings first suggested the dual hierarchies of form and structure used in Timaeus.
The Hardware, Operation and Interface
The RM Nimbus was chosen as the host machine because at the time it was the only common educational computer with sufficiently powerful features for three dimensional modelling. Because of the lack of educational resources only standard equipment, a colour monitor and mouse, where assumed to be available.
To keep the operation of the program simple and easy to learn a WIMPS (windows, icons, mice and pointers) environment was designed which reflected the program structure. The use of menus means that the program can be self prompting, and by rendering the keyboard redundant except for the input of names, complicated keystrokes are avoided. The addition of context sensitive help and an on screen tutorial provides support for everyday operation.
The problems and solutions of three dimensional computer graphics are well researched and documented by Newman and Sproull besides others. This left two important issues to be resolved in the interface. First the definition of form which determines the data structures of the program. Second the structure of space which determines how forms are built, edited and manoeuvred in space.
The nature of form
A major characteristic of any three dimensional modeller is its definition of form. This determines not only how the form is stored, but the operations that can be performed on it and the ways it can be drawn.
From the beginning solid modelling was rejected. Apart from technical considerations of speed and memory, there are strong artistic precedents for using a system based on line. Sculptors and designers have relied on the use of line in drawing and continuing this tradition provides a greater emphasis on form and structure than solid modelling could achieve. An extension of line to faceted drawing preserves the linear and structured character of the image while allowing extra features of planes and surfaces to be incorporated and drawn with hidden line removal.
A form itself is taken to be, at it’s most abstract, a thought of three dimensional complexity. In practice this means the consideration of a group of locations in space. This might be the relationship of a single point to a coordinate system, the pairing of two single points as a straight line, a sequence of points defining a curve and so on. A simple grouping of points is called a line. Lines are grouped as forms and a collection of forms is a scene.
This defines a simple hierarchy of forms from single locations, through lines and forms to a whole scene. It is important to realize that an object at every level of this hierarchy constitutes a form. Access to each level of this hierarchy provides flexibility in the building, editing and manipulation of forms.
Because the output of the program is essentially linear, each form is drawn as a series of lines indicating simple relationships of locations. Two other variables, the use and colour of line increase the quality of line expression. The colour variable is self evident. The use variable further defines the relationship of locations being described and in particular determines how the line is drawn. For instance uses of lines included a string — a simple linking of points, a plane — which fills the defined area as a facet, and a surface — a continuum of facets.
Finally all forms can be treated as components of more complex forms. After manoeuvring a number of forms as separate objects in the scene these can then be united as one new form. This process can be used recursively with each newly created form being used as a component of a future form.
The structure of space
All systems of creating forms in space, not only on computers but in drawing and direct construction are biased. That is they have a tendency to encourage particular formal configurations. For instance draughting has a bias towards treating the third dimension as perpendicular to the drawing plane. Lego, as a constructional system, also provides a rectilinear bias, where as a plastic medium such as clay encourages organic rather than geometrical forms. Similarly if a three dimensional modeller on a computer uses an x, y, z
coordinate system for the input of data then more rectilinear thinking will be encouraged, whereas polar coordinates will encourage more spherical thinking. We may tend to think of space as neutral but in fact it is structured, either by the medium or the conventions we organise our three dimensional thought in.
As one of the main purposes of Timaeus was to introduce different types and classes of form (e.g. employing spherical and non rectilinear geometries), a coordinate system was avoided for the main input of data. Instead a system of crating was adopted, where points in space are located relative to their position on another crate or structure. Therefore the use of different crates structures the space differently, encouraging original solutions to formal problems. Structures are provided in libraries of forms but as all structures can be made as forms, it is easy to define new structures to suit the task in hand.
This system of crating is used not only in the creation of new lines but in manoeuvring forms in a scene. Thus in both stipulating the position of points in a line and locating a form in a scene it is simply a matter of pointing to its location on a previously defined structure. Local variations and orientations can then be achieved by altering coordinates.
One advantage of the crating method for locating objects in space is that it encourages a structured approach to three dimensional work. A complicated form can be structured by a hierarchy of structures, starting with a simple form such as a cube or sphere and either modifying it or building on it to create the required structure.
A further advantage of using crating for accessing locations in space is that it
1. **The building of a truncated icosahedron**
Stage 1
Three x,y,z planes established within a cubic structure
Stage 2
Icosahedron built on the x, y, planes.
Stage 3
Hexagons components of the truncated icosahedron hung on the icosahedron structure.
Stage 4
The completed truncated icosahedron within the original cubic structure.
allows more natural projections, such as perspective to be employed at all stages of operation. This allows the creative process to be viewed and considered from the most convenient angle just as in drawing or three dimensional construction.
**Dual Structure**
Three dimensionally *Timeaeus* offers a dual structure. The nature of form employed encourages forms to be built in components and joined together as increasingly complex forms. However the use of crates for building and manoeuvring provides spatial structures of almost infinite variety.
This notion of dual structure is only one interpretation of the program's three dimensional interface. In fact the component forms, the structures used and the final product are all one and the same — that is a form. They are made in exactly the same way and are all interchangeable. The main difference between a component and a structure is its application in the building process.
But by admitting the dual structure of form within the program students are encouraged to think both of the hierarchy of components that build a form and the form's overall structure. To consider not only the parts but the whole, simultaneously.

2. **Development of a double ribboned torus**
The basic line is modelled on fifteen-sided polygons. This line is duplicated and orientated, first into a continuation of the line and then into a double line. The double line is treated as a ribbon and repeated to make a second ribbon which interweaves with the first.

Hi Everyone,
I am home again! I came home Wednesday; May 4th and my sister went to the Dallas Retirement Village, real close to her son’s home there in Dallas on May 5th. Bittersweet for me. I know she will get good care there, but it was just so sad for me to see her go. It will be much easier to visit her though since it is only 90 minutes from Eugene versus going to Astoria was 4.5 hours away. I just hope she is happy there with all the many more things she will get to do now.
I want to wish my Lane, Benton, and Linn County area elders a happy Birthday each month, (first names only). 😊 So Happy Birthday wishes to our May elders, since I couldn’t put them in last month, Marc, Bonnie, Dennis, Tami, and Huey. Happy Birthday wishes to our June elders, Milton, John, Wendy, Christopher, James, Ricky, Patrick, Nancy, and Dona. With wishes for good health, wealth, prosperity, love, a day filled with lots of happiness and fun throughout the year to come.
I hope you had a fun filled Cinco de Mayo on Thursday the May 5th. And Mother’s Day on Sunday the 8th. I was taken to early dinner, flower and herb plant shopping after followed by a sweet visit to the local ice cream shop. Fun Mother’s Day indeed. It could have been a lot less rainy and cold is my only complaint 😞

That’s a Wrap
By Evan Kramer
Another year is coming to an end and a common refrain I hear from people is how fast time feels like it’s going. So stop and smell the roses because it isn’t going to get any slower. Let’s see what all happened in 2005…
The Port Orford City Council had a new mayor and two councilors as of January 12, when Mayor Jim Auborn and councilors Steve Abbott and Milton Finch were sworn in. Mayor Auborn announced he would select outgoing city councilor Jim Campbell to replace him on the council. Auborn had been presented with petitions signed by over 200 people asking that Campbell be appointed to the vacant council seat.
Jay Stoler was reelected Chamber of Commerce president by the board and spent the rest of the year keeping the Chamber in the news with a series of articles on Chamber activities.
With the Oregon Dungeness Crab season only nine weeks old the 2004/05 harvest broke the record for the most poundage caught ever caught. This happened during the first week in February. Also at the beginning of February, the Ford Family Foundation awarded the Port Orford Public Library a grant of $150,000 for construction of a new library.
Residents of Port Orford were rattled by the news on February 10 that six trees in Buffington Park had been sawed down by vandals and four other trees were damaged. A reward fund was started and eventually grew to over $3,000 for arrest and conviction of the perpetrators but even that amount of money couldn’t get anybody to talk. The case remains open.
The Port Orford City Council chose Mark Creighton as its new police chief on March 7. He was sworn in on March 28 and replaced temporary police chief George Simon.
A large group of people attended the March city planning commission meeting regarding a request to demolish the old city jail. The public supported saving the jail.
Milton and Dee Finch’s blue healer Ace was poisoned and died on March 11. The Finch’s offered a $500 reward for information leading the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible. The reward grew to over $6,000 by the end of March but as of the end of the year the perpetrator(s) was never found. Several other dogs and cats were died mysteriously around the same time that Ace was poisoned.
A meeting on Tsunami awareness was held at the Port Orford Community Building on March 23. The recurring theme from the panel discussion which included many emergency service providers was “head for higher ground.”
The Oregon Library Association named Port Orford Public Library librarian Tobe Porter as Library Employee of the Year at its annual conference on April 6.
Port Orford/Langlois School District Superintendent Marv Ott announce in early April that he was going to leave the district at the end of June and take a superintendent job with the Banks School District. Ott was only with the Port Orford district for one year but distinguished himself in many ways including attending as many school activities as possible.
The movie for the week of April 15-21 at the Savoy Theater was Academy Award winner for best movie of 2004, Million Dollar Baby, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.
Port Orford quietly welcomed Oregon National Guard corporal Pete Legg back to town from his tour on duty in Iraq where he was stationed in Baghdad. Legg said he planned to make a career in the military and has since left town in continuing his career.

The Love Monkeys “struck” again this time at Buffington Park where they worked on the Butterfly/Hummingbird Garden weeding and pruning. The group has adopted a two mile section of Highway 101 near Humbug Mountain State Park where they clean up the trash left by motorists.
The city council met on Monday, April 18 and approved Resolution 2005-22 providing for the issuance and sale of City of Port Orford revenue bonds for the sewer upgrade in the amount of $2,542,000 with the first payment due on April 20, 2006.
Richard Mollier died at his apartment in Port Orford on April 11. He loved fishing and watching sports and was a big Ducks fan. Despite being in a wheelchair he was a familiar figure around town; not letting his handicap stop him. We miss you Richard.
Popular radio disk jockey was Wolfman Jack was back on the airwaves despite being deceased for ten year. Radio station KDCQ (K-Dock) out of Coos Bay started airing his old radio programs which had been repackaged for syndication. (This was exciting news to me, an old Wolfman Jack fan from his XERB days.
The city council met on May 16 and gave the “old city jail” a reprieve from the wrecking ball when they passed a motion to deny a request by the property owner to demolish the jail. The council motion included an acceptance by the council of the property owner’s offer to preserve the jail with the city vacating a portion of Eighth Street to him and the city getting the jail for a small city park.
Special District elections for board members are held in May of each “odd” year. This year’s election featured few contested races except for the three open positions on the Port of Port Orford Commission. Scott Luhr, David C. Rickel, and Robert Mielenz were elected to the Commission.
Pacific High School held its annual graduation ceremony on June 3 and 33 students graduated with 25 going on to college. The graduates, with help from high school counselor Jerry Cox, were awarded $525,188 in scholarships.
On Tuesday, June 14 an earthquake struck off the California coast near Crescent City. A Tsunami alert was put into effect in Curry County and Port Orford residents and emergency responders did well as they headed for higher ground in Cedar Terrace.
Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative held their annual meeting on June 18 at Pacific High School. Owner-members approved two by-law changes including one to make all voting by mail-in ballot and a second change which will reduce the number of board members from nine to five.
The city council met in special session on June 20 for the purpose of evaluating city administrator Ken Knight’s job performance. It was held in public rather than executive session. The council voted unanimously to work out an amicable

separation agreement with Knight. Meanwhile preparations for Port Orford’s Fourth of July Jubilee were going on with the theme of this year’s event “The Ocean Port with No Bar to Cross.” The grand marshal in the parade was fisherman Bill Cobb.
Next week: More ups and downs as the year 2005 winds down.
Garrison Lake Outlet
SHN Consulting Engineers held a meeting in Port Orford on Wednesday, December 21, to discuss the engineering plans for a Garrison Lake outlet through Tseriadun State Park. The meeting was led by Ron Stillmaker from SHN who presented a history of the project plus engineering drawings for a lake outlet culvert through the park and improvements to the existing lake outlet channel. The project began in November 2004 with an agency meeting to get things going and SHN was hired by Oregon State Parks to do the engineering of the project. Stillmaker emphasized that the drawings presented were not a “final” design. He said the environmental issues were not complete nor were the socio-economic issues. He said the design needed to be completed by December 31, 2005.
Stillmaker listed several goals of the outlet project, the main one being keeping the lake at a steady level to avoid flooding. He described the lake outlet to be constructed through the park as a “relief valve”. Stillmaker said the intent of the lake outlet channel was to allow the lake to start overflowing into it when the water level reached 14’ 6”. When the lake is at a lower level water won’t flow through the outlet.
Stillmaker said the level the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife wanted to see the lake at was 14’ 6”. Port Orford Watershed Council Chairman John Leuthe spoke against that level and said he wanted to se

NUMERICAL AND PHYSICAL MODELLING OF CRACKS IN MASONRY WALLS DUE TO THERMAL MOVEMENTS OF AN OVERLYING SLAB

Abstract
Concrete slabs exposed to direct sunlight experience temperature related horizontal movements. In addition, temperatures on the top surface will be higher than those on the underside of the slab, causing an upward deflection of the slab during heating. In a typical building, masonry and concrete elements are connected to each other at their common interfaces. Therefore, significant movements may be generated on the masonry walls due to the movement of the roof slab. These movements can result in overstressing and cracking in masonry. These cracks may not be structurally serious, but may lead to ingress of moisture and in any case are not acceptable especially where good finish is desired.
In this study, the behaviour of these cracks was studied based on surveys of buildings where such cracks have formed. Also typical structural arrangements were numerically modelled to investigate the stresses developing in walls due to the movement of the overlying slab and consequent cracking. Using these numerical models, the effect of the aspect ratio of the wall, structural form of the wall and presence of other structural features such as openings and lintels on the formation of these cracks was studied. These results were compared with the information obtained from the field survey and also with a few physical models which were constructed to the scale of 1/3 of the prototype. The formation of cracks was observed and the strains generated on walls and the temperature variations of the assemblies were monitored. These observations enabled qualitative validation of the numerical models.
Numerical modelling was initially done as a linear elastic un-coupled analysis. A commercially available structural analysis software SAP2000 was used for the study. Locations and directions where cracking would occur were identified using the principal stresses developed in the finite element model and a failure criterion developed based on modified Von-Mises theory. Using detailed numerical modelling (i.e. non-linear structural-thermal coupled analysis), the development of cracks in
walls under the time varying thermal load was studied. Modelling was done using a commercially available finite element code ANSYS 11.0. The model was also used to study the effectiveness of various remedial measures for the problem of thermal cracks in concrete framed walls.
It was found that concrete framed walls could exhibit horizontal cracking under the beam and inclined cracking (at 45° to the horizontal) near the ends of walls. For load bearing walls the inclined cracking at wall ends had an inclination to the horizontal of around 60°, while vertical cracking near the wall mid length was also a possibility.
Linear elastic analysis will give a reasonably good idea of crack locations in solid walls. However non-linear analysis would be required for predicting crack locations in walls with openings.
The results of detailed numerical modelling illustrate that the use of a lintel in a concrete framed wall is not an effective solution to the problem of thermal cracking in walls. However, separating the wall from the concrete frame at the wall-beam interface and wall-column interface (for a depth of 1/3 of the wall height from the beam soffit level) seems to be an effective solution.

ARTICLE II.
THE SYNTHETIC OR COSMIC PHILOSOPHY.
BY JOHN BASCOM, LL.D., PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.
As the synthetic philosophy, so called by Mr. Spencer, or cosmic philosophy, as Mr. Fiske prefers to term it, has recently received a comprehensive yet compact statement by Mr. Fiske, and has been presented in full for a series of years by Mr. Spencer, it is in a position to claim and to accept thorough discussion. Its advocates are laborious, discriminating, and able; while their work is the culmination of a vigorous and continuous line of philosophic thought in England, extending through more than two centuries, and at the same time including much of the most advanced scientific sentiment of the present period.
There have been but few advocates of any system better fitted to enlarge, harmonize, compact, and present a philosophy than is Mr. Spencer. His powers of analysis and synthesis are extraordinary, and his style is clear, full, and plausible in the extreme. The breadth of the topics discussed, and his fulness of knowledge in each, enable him to frame an argument captivating in matter, and impressing the mind with more than its real strength. The scope and vigor
of Mr. Spencer's discriminating and combining powers are something to be proud of, and to be rejoiced in, on the part of all who heartily entertain the themes presented. His candor also is very noteworthy; the candor of a mind too much occupied with its own conclusions, too sure of their value, and too able to confirm them by material taken from many diverse systems, to feel any strong temptation to leave its primary constructive labor and enter on an aggressive, destructive one. He pulls down only as he is in search of space or material for a new edifice. Rarely do bitter words escape him.
Mr. Fiske is an able advocate. His thought and his method of presentation are in harmony with those of Mr. Spencer. He states the positions of the philosophy clearly, combines them well, enforces them vigorously with new and old material. It may be rightly claimed that he does something more than this, and occasionally makes a fresh and cardinal point. We do think, however, that he has a little of the zeal of a proselyte, that he bandies too freely about the adjectives metaphysical and theological, in the restricted and abusive meaning they have acquired in a limited school, and that there is an assumption, unintended perhaps, but none the less real, of superiority in his philosophical attitude, that can hardly receive a milder epithet than offensive. Of the last and more serious censure we give a few illustrations.
"This statement, I may observe in passing, is well illustrated by the abortive attempts of missionaries to civilize the lower races of manhood by converting them to Christianity."¹ "Though we may, and do, throw overboard the whole of the semi-barbaric mythology in which Christianity has hitherto been symbolized, we shall find, nevertheless, that we have kept firmly in our possession the ethical kernel for which Christianity is deeply valued even by those who retain the whole of this mythology."² "To him" — that is, to him who follows intelligently Mr. Fiske's exposition —
¹ Cosmic Philosophy, Vol. ii. p. 242.
² Ibid. p. 434.
current theological treatises will no doubt seem as unsatisfactory as the anthropomorphism of orthodox 'revivalists' must seem to Mr. Holten or Mr. Martineau."¹ It is not the thought we criticise in these passages; we are struck only with the elevation of the writer and the estimate at which he holds his fellow citizens in the realm of knowledge.
It is a reduction of our criticism on his use of the word metaphysical that he endeavors to define the difficulty in the method of reasoning termed metaphysical, and so takes the adjective from a general to a restricted meaning. It is sure, however, in the majority of cases, to retain its well-established use, and, in spite of definition, to remain a term of general disparagement—a fling at a class of reasoners, rather than a calm censure of a kind of reasoning. Unverifiable ideas fall exclusively to no one set of inquirers, and are to be objected to in detail and with designation, or the censure becomes not merely an unverified one, but an irritating one as well. It is to the praise of Mr. Spencer and Mr. Fiske alike, that their method is metaphysical, in the primary meaning of the term; and we see no reason why they should unite with the strict positivists in turning the word into a term of vague, exasperating, and unjust reproach.
While both writers would feel that they possess, perhaps in an unusual degree possess, the historic sense, we nevertheless think that they rarely feel the full force of any doctrine based on intuition; that both of them are incapable, and especially Mr. Fiske, of quite apprehending the strength of the positions they assail. This is a fault we all have in common. The walls of the Jerichos we surround we expect will fall down of their own accord after a sufficient blowing of ram's horns.
The cosmic philosophy is pre-eminently one of evolution—evolution in its strict sense, without increments. The forces of the universe, convertible, but indestructible, are taken at some one stage, as early as we can reach them, and traced in their necessary unfolding through all subsequent
¹ Cosmic Philosophy, Vol. ii. p. 469.
stages. This is a very rigid, self-consistent idea, and is present in all reasoning to set very positive limits. Is it safe to start a philosophy with so exacting and inflexible and *a priori* an idea? Will it not of necessity leave one side some of our facts, and run down some of our data? This cosmic philosophy has settled this one primary conclusion, and remorselessly subjects all considerations and all doctrines to its necessities, heavy and imperative as they are. We doubt whether it is possible to do justice while in possession of such stern and sweeping antecedent convictions. We might as well expect the commander of an army to arrest a battle to save the life of a man, as to expect one who is pleading for such a principle to deal singly and fairly with detached, contravening facts. We are afraid of so exacting, so arbitrary a principle, planted at the very centre of immature knowledge and incipient conclusions. Most questions of interest are foreclosed before the discussion is opened. Who can admit the rout of a division when that of the whole army is incident to it?
The doctrine of evolution, in its presentation as a complete philosophy, is chiefly Mr. Spencer's; though its foundations in mental science were laid long before his labors commenced, and most of the scientific facts which sustain it have been furnished by others. He is simply the master-builder. We owe much to this philosophy. The reli

The proposal of the representative of the stockholder The State of Minas Gerais was put to debate, and subsequently to the vote, and approved unanimously, that is to say by 389,348,730 votes.
The Chair then declared the meeting open and invited me, Carlos Henrique Cordeiro Finholdt, for Cemig's Corporate Executive Office, to be secretary of the meeting, and asked me to read the convocation notice, which was published, on June 21, 22 and 23, 2018 in the publications: Minas Gerais, official journal of the Powers of the State, on pages 25, 33 and 23 respectively; and in the newspaper O Tempo, on pages 13, 25 and 21, respectively, the content of which is as follows:

Proxy votes
Any stockholder who wishes to be represented by proxy at the said General Meeting of Stockholders should obey the precepts of Article 126 of Law 6406 of 1976, as amended, and of §2 of Article 10 of Clause 10 of the by-laws, by exhibiting at the time, or previously depositing at the Company's head office, preferably by July 19, 2018, the proof of ownership of the shares, issued by the depositary financial institution, an identity document, and a power of attorney with specific powers, at Cemig's Corporate Executive Office (Superintendência da Secretaria Geral) at Av. Barbacena 1219 – 23 rd Floor, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Belo Horizonte, June 19, 2018 Adézio de Almeida Lima – Chair of the Board of Directors "
The representative of the stockholder The State of Minas Gerais stated that the Office of the General Attorney of the State, as formal representative of the controlling stockholder, would make a statement of position to this Meeting in the terms of Official Letter OF 0079/2018, of May 16, 2018.
In accordance with CVM Instruction 481/2009, the Chair then asked the Secretary to read the spreadsheet of summary consolidated voting, recording the votes given by Remote Voting Forms, published to the Market on July 20 of this year, which will be at the disposal of stockholders for any consultation.
The Chair then stated that an Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders had been held on July 11, 2018, at which, due to approval of the Company's new by-laws, to adapt to Federal Law 13,303 of June 30, 2016 and Minas Gerais State Decree 47154 of February 20, 2017, the members of the Audit Board nominated by the holders of preferred shares were elected; and at that meeting it was not possible for the majority stockholder to nominate members for the Audit Board.
The representative of The State of Minas Gerais then put forward the following nominations for membership of the Audit Board:
As sitting members:

– and as their respective substitute members:
Asking for the floor, the representative of the stockholder BNDES Participações S.A. (BNDESPar), although not being part of the group voting on this occasion, stated the understanding that obedience to the prohibitions in Article 17 of the State Companies Law for nominations to an Audit Board, independently of the legal dispute on whether they are mandatory, are the best corporate governance practice for formation of the Audit Board, in that they ensure a higher level of professionalism, and recommended that all the Company's stockholders should adopt them in their nominations.
It was also the understanding of BNDESPar that, in spite of the juridical support for this election and for the nominations made for it, considering the transitory nature of the court decision, given as it was in an interim remedy and already subject to contestation, it would be prudent for the controlling stockholder of the Company to aim for a composition of the Audit Board in line with the view taken by the CVM in Case 19957.004466/2018-41, to avoid any later need for re-composition of that Board, even before the end of the current period of office, which would harm the continuity of its work. BNDESPar also alerted the meeting that the other requirements and prohibitions in the State Companies Law should be complied with, including the need for one of the nominees to be a government employee with a permanent link to the public administration.
The representative of the stockholder The State of Minas Gerais then reported that the Judiciary of Minas Gerais State had granted a request for urgent relief in the following terms:
" a) suspending the effect of the recommendation / decision issued by the CVM contained in Official Announcement 227/2018/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 (SEI 19957.005738/2018-20); and thus requiring the CVM to abstain from opening any administrative proceedings tending to punish the controlling stockholder, or Cemig, in any case where the reason for action is application of the prohibitions stated in §2 of Article 17 of Law 13303/2016 in relation to the members of Cemig's Audit Board, until any subsequent court decision, on penalty of a fine in the event of non-compliance;
b) consequent order that Cemig should urgently (subject to the minimum timing required by the law and by its by-laws), in a General Meeting of Stockholders, elect the members of its Audit Board, based on the names already put forward by The State of Minas Gerais, as majority stockholder, on May 16, 2018, subject to the requirement in Article 26 of Law 13303/2016, as regulated by State Decree 47154/2017, but without the prohibitions established by that Law in relation to the members of the Board of Directors (§ 2º of Article 17 of Law 13303/2016); on penalty of a procedural fine in the event of non-co

MUTUAL SPECIALISATION, SEAPORTS AND THE GEOGRAPHY OF AUTOMOBILE IMPORTS

ABSTRACT
This paper argues for a more actor-centred approach in freight transportation studies, one that includes freight shippers and public authorities, as well as carriers, and that pays close attention to the relationships between these actors. One advantage of this approach is that it focuses on the conditions under which global logistics flows may become relatively fixed in particular localities. The perspective is illustrated through a discussion of the geography of port usage by importers of automobiles to the US since 1980. The need to secure space at or near marine terminals for vehicle processing activities is a driving factor in port selection. While the overall trade in automobiles has not become concentrated in fewer ports over the last 20 years, individual firms are concentrating the bulk of their import operations in fewer ports. This mutual specialisation involves a process of interpenetration between actors that is only visible in a disaggregated analysis.
Key words: Logistics, United States, transport geography, seaports, automobiles
INTRODUCTION
It is now widely accepted that globalisation, the 'accelerated circulation of people, commodities, capital, money, identities and image through global space' (Brenner 1999, p. 431), has varied and differential implications for people and places. Geographers have debated the scale at which to understand these processes, in particular, the relative importance of the global and regional scales (Storper 1997; Cox 1997; Lipietz 1993). Freight transportation studies have tended to emphasise the global dimensions of the debate, focusing inter alia on the rise of containerisation and intermodalism, hub-and-spoke distribution systems, transportation industry consolidations and the role information technology. Seaports have been portrayed as structurally disadvantaged nodes in the global freight transportation system (Slack 1993; Heaver 1995). The system-wide approach to studying logistics finds support in meta-analyses
© 2004 by the Royal Dutch Geographical Society KNAG
of the global economy as an interregional network of flows (Castells 1996). In essence, the global approach reads off the fortunes of particular places from their relative position in the larger system.
In stressing the importance of the positionality within a larger system, the global approach ignores the central paradox that the users of international freight transport require a firmspecific 'fix' in the regions through which they route their products (Harvey 1982). In so doing, freight logistics studies may err in implicitly overestimating the relatively mobility of capital, while underestimating the multiple and interrelated ways in which specific formations of capital rely on structures, resources and relationships that are relatively immobile and durable (Storper and Walker 1989; Cox 1995; Dicken, 2003). These factors range from internal firm organisational structures such as branch offices that may acquire a measure of autonomy, to relationships with suppliers and service providers
that may involve long-term contractual arrangements to secure the substantial investments in fixed capital.
This paper addresses only one of the aspects of fixity, namely the fact that some shippers may find it desirable to store, process or re-package commodities at or near key nodes in logistics networks. For this reason they have to secure and sustain relationships with other actors exercising control at these nodes. For example, when a berth is occupied another ship cannot call there and when a terminal is used for handling one type of commodity it may not be available for handling another. In other words, users of key nodes within logistics networks face a prior requirement for certainty; they need to know that the infrastructure services will be available when needed and even when other things change. Commodity flows must thus be understood as the outcome of the strategic actions of firms seeking such certainty in logistics movements, mediated of course, by the strategic actions of others. The global approach downplays such considerations, ignoring the relationships and practices that arise between individual firms and local agents at such nodes, and that in turn organise and shape the global flows of commodities.
The commodity discussed here are new, fully assembled automobiles. The nodes addressed here are seaports. In the United States, almost all seaports are governed by public authorities created by state and/or local governments (Olson 1992; Sherman 2002). I focus on the trade in automobiles because this allows me to identify the role of shippers (cargo owners), and their relationships with port authorities more clearly. Like steamship lines that require on-dock space to handle their cargo and neardock space to fill/empty/repair/store containers, shippers of automobiles require land at or near the waterfront to deal with 'port processing'. This involves some or all of the following functions: paperwork and customs clearance, cleaning and minor repairs, accessorisation and customisation, storage and an efficient connection to landside transportation. Since the early 1980s, the congestion in the major container ports, and the race to construct container facilities in ports aspiring to become major container ports, has put pressure on other cargo-handling (and non-cargo related) activities. In some cases, automobile processing operations have been displaced to smaller ports, and there are now several niche ports dedicated to handling automobile imports. At the same time, the overall level of imports to the United States has declined with the rise of 'transplant' production by foreign automobile assemblers.
However, the resulting spatial reorganisation has been highly uneven; to understand the resulting geography we have to understand the different ways in which the importers organise their logistics operations, and the consequences of these organisational differences for the relationships between importers and port authorities. Building from a descriptive statistical analysis of the geography of port usage by automobile importers to the US since 1980, I show that there is an actor-specific process of geographic concentration. While the overall trade in automobiles has not become concentrated in fewer ports over the last 20 years, individual firms have concentrated the bulk of their import operations in fewer ports. This mutual specialisation involves a process of interpenetration between the actors that is only visible in a firmand authority-level analysis. In particular, the strategic need by shippers to secure access to terminal space is a crucial factor to understanding which importers use which ports.
The broader argument of this paper is that a more actor-centred theoretical and empirical analysis in freight transportation studies is required. Such an approach includes both freight shippers (cargo owners) and public authorities, in addition to the carriers (shipping lines, railroads, truckers, and so on) that are typically the subjects of transportation geography. The approach pays particular attention to the relationships between these actors, which in turn leads to a deeper understanding of the conditions under which global logistics flows may become relatively fixed in specific places.
WHICH US PORTS HANDLE WHICH AUTOMOBILES?
Which US ports handle which automobile imports, and how has the geography of this trade changed in the last 20 years? This paper starts with descriptive statistics that show the changing patterns of port usage by specific automobile importers since 1980. This starting
point highlights an empirical shortcoming in the global approach, namely in a form of sectoral aggregati

The Spread of a Catalytic Branching Random Walk
Philippe Carmona* Yueyun Hu†
September 25, 2012
Abstract
We consider a catalytic branching random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ that branches at the origin only. In the supercritical regime we establish a law of large number for the maximal position $M_n$: For some constant $\alpha$, $\frac{M_n}{n} \to \alpha$ almost surely on the set of infinite number of visits of the origin. Then we determine all possible limiting laws for $M_n - \alpha n$ as $n$ goes to infinity.

1 Introduction
A catalytic branching random walk (CBRW) on $\mathbb{Z}$ branching at the origin only is the following particle system:
When a particle location $x$ is not the origin, the particle evolves as an irreducible random walk $(S_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ on $\mathbb{Z}$ starting from $x$.
When a particle reaches the origin, say at time $t$, then at time $t + 1$ it dies and gives birth to new particles positioned according to a point process $\mathcal{D}_0$. Each particle (at the origin at time $t$) produces new particles independently of every particle living in the system up to time $t$. These new particles evolve as independent copies of $(S_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ starting from their birth positions.
The system starts with an initial ancestor particle located at the origin. Denote by $\mathbb{P}$ the law of the whole system ($\mathbb{P}$ also governs the law of the underlying random walk $S$), and by $\mathbb{P}_x$ if the initial particle is located at $x$ (then $\mathbb{P} = \mathbb{P}_0$).
Let $\{X_u, |u| = n\}$ denote the positions of the particles alive at time $n$ (here $|u| = n$ means that the generation of the particle $u$ in the Ulam-Harris tree is $n$). We assume that
$$\mathcal{D}_0 = \{X_u, |u| = 1\} \overset{d}{=} \left\{S_1^{(i)}, 1 \leq i \leq N\right\}$$
where $N$ is an integer random variable describing the offspring of a branching particle, with finite mean $m = \mathbb{E}[N]$, and $(S_n^{(i)}, n \geq 0)_{i \geq 1}$ are independent copies of $(S_n, n \geq 0)$, and independent of $N$.
Let $\tau$ be the first return time to the origin
$$\tau := \inf \{n \geq 1 : S_n = 0\} \quad \text{with} \quad \inf \emptyset = +\infty.$$
The escape probability is $q_{esc} := \mathbb{P}(\tau = +\infty) \in [0, 1)$ ($q_{esc} < 1$ because $S$ is irreducible). Assume that we are in the supercritical regime, that is
$$m(1 - q_{esc}) > 1. \tag{1.1}$$
An explanation of assumption (1.1) is given in Section 7, Lemma 7.3.
Since the function defined on $(0, \infty)$ by $r \to \rho^{(r)} = m \mathbb{E}\left[e^{-r \tau}\right]$ is of class $C^\infty$, strictly decreasing, $\lim_{r \to 0} \rho^{(r)} = m \mathbb{P}(\tau < +\infty) = m(1 - q_{esc}) > 1$ and $\lim_{r \to +\infty} \rho^{(r)} = 0$, there exists a unique $r > 0$, a Malthusian parameter such that
$$m \mathbb{E}\left[e^{-r \tau}\right] = 1. \tag{1.2}$$
Let $\psi$ be the logarithmic moment generating function of $S_1$:
$$\psi(t) := \log \mathbb{E}\left[e^{tS_1}\right] \in (-\infty, +\infty], \quad t \in \mathbb{R}.$$
Let \( \zeta := \sup\{t > 0 : \psi(t) < \infty\} \). We assume furthermore that \( \zeta > 0 \) and there exists some \( t_0 \in (0, \zeta) \) such that
\[
\psi(t_0) = r. \tag{1.3}
\]
Observe that by convexity \( \psi'(t_0) > 0 \).
Let \( M_n := \sup_{|u|=n} X_u \) be the maximal position at time \( n \) of all living particles (with convention \( \sup \emptyset := -\infty \)). Since the system only branches at the origin 0, we define the set of infinite number of visits of the catalyst by
\[
\mathcal{S} := \left\{ \omega : \limsup_{n \to \infty} \{ u : |u| = n, X_u = 0 \} \neq \emptyset \right\}.
\]
Remark that \( \mathbb{P}(d\omega) \)-almost surely on \( \mathcal{S}^c \), for all large \( n \geq n_0(\omega) \), either the system dies out or the system behaves as a finite union of some random walks on \( \mathbb{Z} \), starting respectively from \( X_u(\omega) \) with \( |u| = n_0 \). In particular, the almost sure behavior of \( M_n \) is trivial on \( \mathcal{S}^c \). It is then natural to consider \( M_n \) on the set \( \mathcal{S} \). Our first result on \( M_n \) is
**Theorem 1.1 (Law of large numbers).** Assume (1.1) and (1.3). On the set \( \mathcal{S} \), we have the convergence
\[
\lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{M_n}{n} = \alpha := \frac{\psi(t_0)}{t_0} \quad \text{a.s.}
\]
In Theorem 1.1, the underlying random walk \( S \) can be periodic. In order to refine this convergence to a fluctuation result by centering \( M_n \), we shall need to assume the aperiodicity of \( S \). However, we cannot expect a convergence in distribution for \( M_n - an \) since \( M_n \) is integer-valued whereas \( an \) in general is not.
For \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), let \( \lfloor x \rfloor \) be the integer part of \( x \) and \( \{x\} := x - \lfloor x \rfloor \in [0, 1) \) be the fractional part of \( x \).
**Theorem 1.2.** Assume (1.1) and (1.3). Assume furthermore that \( \mathbb{E}(N^2) < \infty \) and that \( S \) is aperiodic. Then there exists a constant \( c_* > 0 \) and a random variable \( \Lambda_\infty \) such that for any fixed \( y \in \mathbb{R} \),
\[
\mathbb{P}\left( M_n - an > y \right) = \mathbb{E} \left[ 1 - e^{-c_* e^{-t_0 y} (\alpha t_0 (an+y) + o(1)) \Lambda_\infty} \right], \tag{1.4}
\]
where \( o(1) \) denotes some deterministic term which goes to 0 as \( n \to \infty \). The random variable \( \Lambda_\infty \) is non negative and satisfies that
\[
\{ \Lambda_\infty > 0 \} = \mathcal{S} \quad \text{a.s.} \tag{1.5}
\]
Consequently for any subsequence $n_j \to \infty$ such that $\{a n_j\} \to s \in [0, 1)$ for some $s \in [0, 1)$, we have that
$$\lim_{j \to \infty} \mathbb{P}\left(M_{n_j} - \lfloor a n_j \rfloor = y\right) = \mathbb{E}\left(e^{-c_s e^{-t_0(y-s)} \Lambda_\infty} - e^{-c_s e^{-t_0(y-1-s)} \Lambda_\infty}\right) \quad (\forall y \in \mathbb{Z}_+).$$
(1.6)
Let us make some remarks on Theorem 1.2:
**Remark 1.**
1. The random variable $\Lambda_\infty$ is the limit of the positive fundamental martingale of Section 4. The value of constant $c_s$ is given in (6.14) at the beginning of Section 6.
2. The hypothesis $\mathbb{E}(N^2) < \infty$ might be weakened to $\mathbb{E}(N \log(N + 1)) < \infty$, just as the classical $L \log L$-condition (see e.g. Biggins [8]) in the branching random walk.
3. We do need the aperiodicity of the underlying random walk $S$ in the proof of Theorem 1.2. However, for the particular case of the nearest neighborhood random walk (the period equals 2), we can still get a modified version of Theorem 1.2, see Remark 5 of subsection 6.1.
Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 are new, even though a lot of attention has been given to CBRW in continuous time. In papers [3–5, 10, 28–31] very precise asymptotics are established for the moments of $\eta_t(x)$ the number of particles located at $x$ at time $t$, in every regime (sub/super/critical). Elaborate limit theorems were obtained for the critical case by Vatutin, Topchii and Yarovaya in [28–31].
Concerning on the maximal/minimal position of a branching random walk (BRW) on $\mathbb{R}$, some important progress were made in recent years, in particular a convergence in law result was proved in Aïdékon [1] when the BRW is not lattice-valued. It is expected that such convergence does not hold in general for lattice-valued BRW, for instance see Bramson [11] where he used a centering with the integer part of some (random) sequence. In the recent studies of BRW, the spine decomposition technique plays a very important role. It turns out t

Neurotrophic keratitis presenting in infancy with involvement of the motor component of the trigeminal nerve
J D Heath, G Long
We report a case of unilateral congenital corneal anaesthesia presenting in a 5-year-old girl, where computed tomography (CT) elegantly demonstrated corresponding atrophy of involvement of the first division of the ipsilateral trigeminal nerve, and helped to confirm the diagnosis.
Case report
A 5-year-old girl was referred to our ophthalmology department by her general practitioner having failed a school medical sight test. Her only symptom was blurring of vision of the left eye, and in particular she did not experience pain or redness. She had been delivered at term by caesarean section for fetal distress, and had no neonatal problems. She had two short admissions to hospital for failure to thrive and an upper respiratory tract viral infection. She had been fully vaccinated, and there was no history of atopy.
On examination, her right visual acuity was 6/6 and the left was 6/9. There was a punctate epithelial keratitis of the left cornea with absent left corneal sensation. The eye was white and quiet. The cutaneous sensation of the first division of the left trigeminal nerve was slightly reduced and the jaw jerk appeared normal. A slight left ptosis was noted, which had been present since birth, and had not progressed. The third, fourth, sixth, and seventh cranial nerves were normal.
Figure 1 Contrast enhanced axial computed tomographic image at the level of the oropharynx and maxilla. Normal right masseter muscle (M) and right medial pterygoid muscle (mp) with atrophy of the corresponding muscles on the left (on right) in picture.
Figure 2 Contrast enhanced axial computed tomographic image at the level of the nasopharynx. Normal right masseter (M) and right lateral pterygoid muscle (lp) with atrophy of the corresponding muscles on the left (right).
A diagnosis of corneal anaesthesia was made and she was treated with ocular lubricants.
A CT scan under general anaesthesia was performed (Figs 1, 2, and 3) to exclude a new lesion of the brain stem, pons, or cerebellum. Contiguous axial images were obtained, both pre and post intravenous contrast enhancement, from the level of the hard palate to the vertex.
Figure 3 Contrast enhanced axial computed tomographic image at the level of the optic nerves. Normal right temporalis muscle (T) with atrophy of the corresponding muscle on the left (right).
At her first review 2 weeks after diagnosis, and at review 2 months later, asymptomatic subarticular foreign bodies were removed. Patient follow up at 10 months showed an improvement in the left corneal epithelial keratitis.
Comment
This 5-year-old girl appears to have a congenital absence of both sensory and motor components of the left trigeminal nerve. The sensory impairment was suggested clinically by the keratitis associated with corneal anaesthesia, and the absence of any other corneal pathology. The defect of the motor component of the trigeminal nerve only became apparent after the CT scan. The investigation demonstrated atrophy of the muscles on the left supplied by the motor root of the trigeminal nerve – namely, the left temporalis, masseter, and medial and lateral pterygoid muscles. Loss of neural input produces atrophy and fatty replacement of the denervated muscle. This is shown more markedly in summary when compared with the muscles of the contralateral uninvolved side. This had not been clinically apparent, and added support to the diagnosis.
The trigeminal nerve is the largest of the cranial nerves and arises in sensory and motor roots from the lateral aspect of the pons. It passes forward through the posterior fossa and joins the trigeminal ganglion which lies in a bony fossa at the apex of the petrous temporal bone. The three divisions of the trigeminal nerve are given off from its anterior border. The nasociliary nerve is the first branch of the first division and gives off the sensory root to the ciliary ganglion which contains sensory fibres from the cornea, iris, and ciliary body. The motor root of the trigeminal nerve has no connection with the trigeminal ganglion and passes with the third division through the foramen ovale to supply the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles, temporalis, and masseter.
Corneal anaesthesia may follow any cause of fifth nerve damage. Common causes are herpes zoster ophthalmicus, trauma, lesions of the brain stem and pons, and cerebellopontine angle tumours. The likely aetiology of the keratitis is reduced blinking and reflex tear production, resulting in corneal drying and repeated trauma. Fetal rabbit trigeminal neurons have been demonstrated to influence the production of type VII collagen *in vitro*. Type VII collagen is a major component of the anchoring fibrils involved in the attachment of the corneal epithelium to the underlying stroma. Corneal hypoaesthesia can occur as an isolated abnormality, or in conjunction with trigeminal hypoesthesia, particularly of the first division. It may be unilateral, or familial. Corneal anaesthesia may be part of a more widespread anaesthesia, but is more often confined to the cornea. It has been described in association with leprosy, and in a milder form in Adie's pupil, and in some corneal dystrophies. In any severe keratitis, the corneal sensation will tend to be reduced.
The mainstay of treatment of neurotrophic keratitis is topical antibiotics in the acute stage, followed by long term ocular lubricants. Several cases may require lateral tarsorrhaphy. Visual deprivation amblyopia may occur owing to corneal scarring, viscous ocular lubricants, or tarsorrhaphy.

Abstract
Methods of multiblock bilinear factorizations have increased in popularity in chemistry and biology as recent increases in the availability of information-rich spectroscopic platforms has made collecting multiple spectroscopic observations per sample a practicable possibility. Of the existing multiblock methods, consensus PCA (CPCA-W) and multiblock PLS (MB-PLS) have been shown to bear desirable qualities for multivariate modeling, most notably their computability from single-block PCA and PLS factorizations. While MB-PLS is a powerful extension to the nonlinear iterative partial least squares (NIPALS) framework, it still spreads predictive information across multiple components when response-uncorrelated variation exists in the data. The OnPLS extension to O2PLS provides a means of simultaneously extracting predictive and uncorrelated variation from a set of matrices, but is more suited to unsupervised data discovery than regression. We describe the union of NIPALS MB-PLS with an orthogonal signal correction (OSC) filter, called MB-OPLS, and illustrate its equivalence to single-block OPLS for regression and discriminant analysis.

1. Introduction
The method of nonlinear iterative partial least squares (NIPALS) has firmly entrenched itself in the field of chemometrics. Implementations of principal component analysis (PCA) and projections to latent structures (PLS) that utilize NIPALS-type algorithms benefit from its numerical stability, as well as its flexibility and simplicity [1-3]. Only a few subroutines from level 2 of the basic linear algebra subprograms (BLAS) specification are required to construct a complete NIPALS-type algorithm [4, 5], making it an attractive means of constructing PCA and PLS models of high-dimensional spectroscopic datasets.

Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.
One particularly recent addition to the NIPALS family of algorithms, called orthogonal projections to latent structures (OPLS), integrates an orthogonal signal correction (OSC) filter into NIPALS PLS [6, 7]. By extracting variation from its computed PLS components that is uncorrelated (orthogonal) to the responses, OPLS produces a more interpretable regression model compared to PLS. In fact, when trained on the same data and responses, an OPLS model and a PLS model with the same total number of components will show no difference in predictive ability [8]. Despite its relative novelty to the field, the enhanced interpretability of OPLS over PLS has made it a popular method in exploratory studies of spectroscopic datasets of complex chemical mixtures (e.g., metabolomics [9], food and soil science [10], and chemical process control [11]).
Extensions of NIPALS PCA and PLS to incorporate blocking information that partitions the set of measured variables into multiple 'blocks' of data have recently gained attention in the field as more experimental designs involve the collection of data from multiple analytical platforms per sample. In such experiments, referred to as 'class II' multiblock schemes by Smilde et al. [12], correlated consensus directions are sought from the blocks that maximally capture block variation and (optionally) maximally predict a set of responses. Of the available extensions of NIPALS to multiblock modeling, a class of methods exists that bears attractive computational qualities, namely computability from single-block bilinear factorizations. When both super weights and block loadings are normalized in consensus PCA (i.e. CPCA-W), the obtained super scores are equivalent to those obtained from PCA of the concatenated matrix of blocks [13]. Likewise, scores obtained from PLS of the concatenated matrix are equivalent to super scores from multiblock PLS (MB-PLS) when super scores are used in the deflation step [13, 14]. As a result, these multiblock bilinear factorizations inherit many of the useful properties of their single-block equivalents.
A second class of multiblock methods exists in which every block is predicted in a regression model by every other block. In the first of such methods, known as nPLS, the MAXDIFF criterion [15] is optimized one component at a time (i.e. sequentially) to yield a set of predictive weight vectors for each block [16]. The recently described OnPLS algorithm also falls within this class [16]. OnPLS extends O2PLS to three or more matrices and may be considered a prefixing of nPLS with an OSC filtering step. OnPLS deflates nonglobally predictive variation that may or may not be orthogonal to all blocks from each matrix, and then computes an nPLS model from the filtered result [16]. While fully symmetric OnPLS is a powerful and general addition to the existing set of multiblock modeling frameworks, it is arguably an over-complication when the regression of a single response matrix on multiple data blocks (i.e. MB-PLS) is sought. For such situations, a novel algorithm termed MB-OPLS for multiblock orthogonal projections to latent structures is introduced that embeds an OSC filter within NIPALS MB-PLS, thus solving an inherently different problem from OnPLS. It will be shown that MB-OPLS, in analogy to CPCA-W and MB-PLS, is computable from a single-block OPLS model of the matrix of concatenated data blocks. Thus, MB-OPLS forms a bridge between this special class of consensus component methods and the highly general symmetric regression framework of OnPLS.
2. Theory
MB-OPLS belongs to a set of multiblock methods that exhibit an equivalence to their singleblock equivalents. A short discussion on these methods follows, in which the optimization criterion of each method is shown to belong to the MAXBET family of objective functions. This is contrasted to nPLS and OnPLS, which have been show

Conclusions Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary This article presents a selection of techniques for computation of bounds on the parameters of a system model that is linear in the parameters and has specified bounds on the errors between the model output and observations of the system output. Exact and approximate parameter bounds are considered, and important special situations are described: parameter bounding when the output-error bound or the explanatory variables are uncertain, when the data clash with the model specification, and when the parameters vary with time.
1. Bounding a linear model: the simplest case
Bounding uses measurements from a system to reduce uncertainty in the unknowns in a model of the system. It aims to find the feasible set of all values of the unknowns that are consistent, in some precisely defined way, with all the measurements. First consider the simplest possible case, where
* the unknowns are constant parameters in the model,
* the relation between the parameters and observations is linear
* parameter values are consistent with the measurements if, for the same input values, they make the model output match the corresponding output observations to within a specified tolerance.
The linear model
UNESCO – EOLSS SAMPLE CHAPTERS relates the kth scalar observation k y ∈ℜ to a vector n ∈ℜ θ of unknown parameters, through known k f . The model may or may not be dynamical. For a static system, k f might consist of simultaneous samples of n distinct system inputs, while for a dynamical system it might consist of n successive samples of a single input leading up to time k, with the parameters in θ comprising the unit-pulse response. [Note that the independent variable indexed by k need not be time, nor need the observations be at equal intervals in the independent variable. If, for instance, a vector of m output observations is taken at each point in time, we can treat the ith vector observation as ( 1) 1 to i m im y y − + , with a different f for each of the m output variables]. At each k, we require the model-output error k e to be between k ε ± (symmetrical about zero, without loss of generality). Thus to be consistent with observation k y , θ must satisfy T T k k k k k k y y ε ε − ≤ , ≤ + f f θ θ (2) Geometrically, (2) requires θ to be in both of two half spaces, bounded by hyperplanes with common normal k f . That is, θ must be in the strip { } : T k k k k k k y y ε ε ≡ − ≤ ≤ + f θ θ S (3) between two parallel hyperplanes 2 / k k ε f apart. To be consistent with a set of observations , 1,2,..., k y k N = , the parameters must be in the intersection of N strips, as in Figure 1, so the feasible set for θ is
which is a polytope, convex and compact so long as n of the normals , 1,2,..., k k N = f are linearly independent.
So far, the picture is very simple. The boundary of the feasible set consists of those segments of the 2N hyperplanes (2) for 1,2,..., k N = which are active bounds. Often θ is also subject to linear prior bounds, which are likely to come in parallel pairs, e.g. when each parameter can be assumed to be in a known range, confining θ to a box. Any unpaired linear prior bound can be treated as having a partner distant enough to be inactive. Thus linear prior bounds do not alter the picture but merely increase the effective N.
Several useful generalizations of the linear parameter-bounding problem so far outlined will be considered in later sections: allowing unknown k ε , allowing the parameters θ to vary with k , dealing with uncertain k f , and coping with bad data.
UNESCO – EOLSS SAMPLE CHAPTERS Figure 1. Polytope feasible set with boundary- , formed by intersection of strips defined by hyperplane bounds due to three observations, for n = 2. The feasibility of any particular value of θ can be tested simply by checking whether (2) is true for all the k's; the smallest output-error tolerance k ε for which θ remains feasible is just the largest k e yielded by θ in (1). However, explicit identification of the feasible set N P may be difficult when N is large, even if n is quite small, because much computing may be necessary to establish which of the 2N hyperplane bounds are active as the faces of N P . The next two sections will address this problem.
2. Computation of the exact feasible set
Polytope N P has at most 2N hyperplane faces, given by (2). They are conveniently rewritten as
UNESCO – EOLSS SAMPLE CHAPTERS Any one of them, say , T j j z ≤ h θ is active if and only if it contains the extremal points of N P in the direction of j h . A linear programming solution maximizing T j h θ subject to (5) can check this. All the active bounds can be identified by at most 2N such LP solutions, each with up to 2 1 N − constraints. The LP computing load increases with N and sooner or later becomes excessive if new observations continue to arrive. Instead of recomputing the feasible set from scratch each time a new observation is received, it is more economical to update a list of the active bounds of 1 N − P to a list for N P when observation N arrives, i.e. to compute the boundary of the feasible set recursively. Several closely related algorithms exist for recursive computation of P (Broman and Shensa, 1986; Walter and Piet-Lahanier, 1989; Mo and Norton, 1990). They differ in what details of the polytope they store and update. A basic version will now be described. A non-minimal description of the polytope is stored, to economize in the computing effort required to update the description. It consists of a list of vertices and, for each vertex, two lists, of its supporting hyperplanes (those intersecting at it) and its adjacent vertices. To incorporate a new hyperplane bound T j j z ≤ h θ due to a new observation, the updating procedure is: • test each vertex i v to see whether it is cut off by the hyperplane, i.e., whether T j i j z > h v • if all vertices are cut off, the feasible set becomes empty (no parameter values remain feasible) so updating stops • if no vertex is cut off, no updating is necessary: the new hyperplane is redundant • for each vertex i v not cut off, test all vertices on its adjacent-vertex list to see which are cut off
* for each pair of adjacent vertices, i v not cut off and l v cut off, create a new vertex on the edge joining them, at (1 ) i l λ λ = − + v v v where
* create the supporting-hyperplane list for each new vertex, consisting of the new hyperplane and those hyperplanes common to the lists of vertices i v , l v
* for retained vertices, update their adjacent-vertex lists by replacing cut-off
vertices by the corresponding new ones
* for each new vertex v, create an adjacent-vertex list consisting of the retained vertex i v and all new vertices which share at least 1 n − supporting hyperplanes with v.
Often relatively few of the 2N hyperplanes contribute to the boundary of the feasible set, many being redundant. Even so, an excessive computing load is likely to be incurred, partic

1) How has my percussion playing improved through this project?
My percussion playing improved because before I didn't know how to play low and high tones but then I improved and used both my low and high tone. I also improved my form because I improved my starting and stopping time.
2) What do you feel about your percussion composition? What did you enjoy about composing your group piece and what would you do differently next time?
What I enjoyed about composing my group's piece is the rhythm because my group played in unison, complementry and in dissonants in all the three pieces we made and played. What I would do different next time is practice more on my group's high and low tones.
3) Where do you see your own group on the rubric and why do you feel that way?
I see my group in a 4 in sound, we used high and low tones, we used right and left hand movement. In form, I think we get a 3 because we start together but we don’t have a clear ending. In rhythm, we get a 3.9 because my group can create unison, complementary, and dissonant. But our complementary is not clear, the audience didn’t understand it.
4) Where do you see yourself as a percussion player on the rubric? What did you do well and what are your next steps?
I see myself as a percussion player in 4 in sound, 3.8 in form, and 4 in rhythm. For sound, I can play high & low tones, on the maracas I didn’t stop with the rest of the group. And I can play unison, complementary, and dissonant.
5) If you were to teach this project to others, what changes would you make to the project?
The changes I would make are, work on the music piece longer so the groups are perfect.
Name: Gabriela Garcia Class: 5-104
*Percussion Project Reflection*
1) How has my percussion playing improved through this project?
My percussion playing improved through this project by the sounds at first my percussion with the instruments were low sounds and when I improved to making high and low sounds and using my right & left hand movement most of the time.
2) What do you feel about your percussion composition? What did you enjoy about composing your group piece and what would you do differently next time?
I feel about our percussion composition put together on a 4 because on the rhythm we created complementary and dissonant rhythms.
3) Where do you see your own group on the rubric and why do you feel that way?
I see my group at a 3.75.
I feel that way because in sound we had high and low tone and right and left hand movement. In form we all started together and end with a clear ending, but in rhythm we only played unison and dissonant.
4) Where do you see yourself as a percussion player on the rubric? What did you do well and what are your next steps?
I see my self at a 3. The thing I did well was playing high and low tones and left and right hand movement and in form I had always started and stop together. My next step is to ask more question about rhythm.
5) If you were to teach this project to others, what changes would you make to the project?
The change I would make is to explain more about dissonant, complementary, and unison, piece, also I would make them talk more about the piece and I would be little bit more clear not a lot a little.
3) Where do you see your own group on the rubric and why do you feel that way?
I would put my group on a 4 because we all did high and low tones. We can start, stop and change together.
4) Where do you see yourself as a percussion player on the rubric? What did you do well and what are your next steps?
I see myself as a percussion player on the rubric at a 3 because I didn't have a lot of hand movement by right and left. I think that to reach a 4 I have to work on the tempo and remember what unison, complementary mean.
5) If you were to teach this project to others, what changes would you make to the project?
I think we should have had more time to learn the songs, also explain more what dissonant, unison, complementary mean.
1) How has my percussion playing improved through this project?
My percussion playing has improved a lot. It has improved because in the start of the project I didn't really understand how to do the high or low sound, I have now improved.
2) What do you feel about your percussion composition? What did you enjoy about composing your group piece and what would you do differently next time?
I feel like the piece was really good. It went with all the things we learned in music. The only thing it was missing was the complementary. The form was good and the sounds and our piece was clear. I enjoyed working with people that I didn't really know and I learned how to create a piece. My next step is to ask more questions about the piece instead of saying "I don't know."
3) Where do you see your own group on the rubric and why do you feel that way?
Here I see my group on the rubric is on a 3.75 because we did use low and high tones and we did start and stop at the same time. We need to work on playing more complementary rhythms because we mostly played unison and dissonant rhythms.
4) Where do you see yourself as a percussion player on the rubric? What did you do well and what are your next steps?
Here I see myself on the rubric is a 3.75 because I play low and high tones but I didn't exactly stop at the same time my group did. I also used unison and complementary rhythms.
5) If you were to teach this project to others, what changes would you make to the project?
What I would change to the project is in the rhythm. Some kids don't play all three complimentary, dissonant and unison they usually only play 2 of them. We need to improve the rhythm.

COVID-19 Contact Lenses Behavioural Optometrist Children Eye Care Clinic Sydney
Study Debunks Claims That Contact Lenses Up Risk of COVID-19
Study Debunks Claims That Contact Lenses Up Risk of COVID-19 A study carried out to determine the validity of recent reports suggesting contact lenses could increase the chances of healthy wearers being infected with Covid-19, has found no evidence that that is true. The study instead concluded that if there is a threat of any sort it is more likely to lie in careless hygiene on the part of the user, and not in the lenses themselves. And it does say that contact lenses should not be worn by those already infected with the virus.
Australia's Fellow of the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control (FIAOMC), optometrist Gary Rodney, welcomed the results of the study co-authored by professor and ocular microbiologist Mark Wilcox from NSW University and academics from Canada and the UK. He said the risk rumours had added unnecessary panic and confusion to a situation already swamped with more than enough of both.
RELATED: COVID-19 Myopia Prevention Behavioural Optometrist Children Clinic Sydney
He said the study also dispels the idea that wearing spectacles instead is any safer then contacts with regard to lessening the likelihood of contracting coronavirus. However, as is the case with any illness such as flu or a cold, it's best for anyone with already active Covid-19 to switch to glasses instead of contacts.
Extra Attention to Hygiene Needed
Rodney said while the standard rules currently set for helping to prevent infection ( social distancing, washing hands regularly, and avoiding touching the face, mouth, nose or eyes) remained the same for those wearing contact lenses. They would, however, have to be even more careful as they would be certain to touch the lenses themselves when cleaning them, and highly likely to touch one of the no-go areas of their face while inserting and removing the lenses.
He said optometrists always stressed the importance of hygiene with regard to contact lenses, but now had to be even more careful to point out its extra importance the virus spreading so easily and quickly.
The Do's and Don'ts of Self and Lens Care
Use soap and water for the 20 second hand wash before inserting or removing contact lenses. It's best to avoid hand sanitisers with high alcohol content, Rodney said, as the alcohol in them could burn the eyes. Instead dry your hands with a clean paper towel if possible, or if that's not available, use a clean towel which has not been used by other members of the family.
Stick to the replacement schedule. While partial and full lockdowns are the order of the day at present because of the pandemic, optometry is an essential service in Australia and many eye doctors, including those at the Smart Vision outlets in Sydney, have made plans to service their patients as well and as safely as they can.
Lenses should only be used within their stated time frame, whether that's a day, a fortnight, or a month, and discarded as soon as they expire. If you're running low on lenses, contact your eye doctor and see if you can have lenses delivered to your door. Lens cases should also be thrown away and replaced every month as they are hard to clean properly, and can amass significant amounts of bacteria.
Disinfect the lenses as well as your hands. Rodney warns that saline solution won't do the trick as it's not a disinfectant, and water should never touch the lenses or their cases, as it can carry germs which might cause eye infection. Using only the disinfectant that your eye doctor has prescribed, clean them in their case overnight.
RELATED: Myopia Prevention Behavioural Optometrist Children Eye Care Clinic Mosman Sydney
Be sure to discard the previous night's solution in the morning and replace it with a new solution before you return them to the case at night. While it might not be generally advised during "normal" times, Rodney suggests rubbing the lenses gently with lens cleaner before placing them in the disinfectant during these anything but normal times.

Is it possible for an animated children's show to speak to parents' very soul and lift their spirits? Can a cartoon about a dog family provide some sort of group therapy for exhausted and harried caregivers everywhere? Yes if it's the Australian show Bluey which follows the antics of dog Bluey, her sister Bingo, and their mom and dad. Parents who have endured countless episodes of P.J. Mask and Paw Patrol will not only delight in this adorable show but will also feel very seen. Watch just one episode and you will swear that executive producers Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson have been inside your house observing your interactions with your children (in a totally non-creepy way, of course).
A special holiday episode of the show premieres this Friday at 10:30 a.m. on Disney Junior. The new vignette "Christmas Swim" introduces Frisky and Uncle Rad, two new characters to Bluey's world. Covering everything from why it's important to be nice, to dealing with disappointment to (my personal favorite) the musical beds that happen during the night when children can't sleep, Bluey is a sheer delight for not only their preschool target audience but also parents who will find these characters some of the most relatable and realistic on TV—even if they are blue dogs!
Check out our exclusive clip of the holiday episode below:

Clover fixes nitrogen from the air using special bacteria in its roots, which is crucial for plant growth.
Clover is in the bean family, the Fabaceae. Like other beans, clover is a legume: it fixes nitrogen from the air using special bacteria in its roots. Small nodules in the roots contain millions of these bacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates and ammonia.
The clover plant uses these substances to make proteins, which are crucial for plant growth. Some are left in the soil, making it rich and full of nutrients for other plants.
Clover is very useful in agriculture, and farmers often plant this herb to improve their pastures and crops.
Top Tip Planting clover in your garden will make the soil full of nitrogen to help your other plants grow.
Clover plants are members of the genus Trifolium.
Clover is trifoliate, which means they have three leaves.
They have small flowers, which occur in a dense cluster called an inflorescence.
You can find clover in your garden, hidden among the grass.
Clover is very useful in agriculture, and farmers often plant this herb to improve their pastures and crops.
ID Guide
- Small green herb
- Three compound leaves
- White or pink inflorescences (clusters of tiny flowers)
Crab apple trees are good for the soil, air, water and wildlife – the perfect all-rounder!
Species: Malus sylvestris
Genus: Malus
Family: Rosaceae
This plant, like all tree species, keeps the air clean, stabilises the soil and helps to conserve water.
The crab apple tree supports wildlife by providing shelter, a nesting place and food. The fruit of this tree is a crab apple or pome; they are small and very sour. While humans do not eat the apples, they provide a valuable food source for birds; and when they have fallen from the tree, small mammals will eat them too.
Crab apple trees are the main ancestor of the modern domestic apple, and are used to help the cultivation of its popular descendant.
Top Tip Grow a crab apple tree to bring all sorts of wild creatures to your garden!
Unlike many trees, crab apples are singletons and don’t like company! Often you will find just one in a woodland.
Traditionally, crab apples are symbols of love. English folklore says that if you throw the pips onto a fire while saying the name of someone you love, your love is true if the pips explode.
The crisp apples that we know and love are descended directly from the small, gnarled crab apple tree.
The pale pink crab apple flowers are heavily loaded with pollen, and so the trees are also used as pollinizers in apple orchards to facilitate cross-pollination.
I.D Guide
• Small, deciduous tree rarely over 8m in height
• Clusters of pale pink to white flowers, with five petals
• Oval leaves are 3-4cm long, with finely toothed margins
• Small apples (2.5cm across) are green in spring and golden in the autumn
Honeysuckle
The Bat Temptress
Its flowers release a strong perfume at dusk, attracting moths which tempt bats out to catch a juicy evening snack.
Species: ~180
Genus: Caprifoliaceae
Family: Lonicera
Twisting honeysuckle vines have night-scented flowers, which fill the air with a heavy perfume that is particularly strong in the evening. This attracts moths and other insects.
You might not have thought about how important plants can be for bats, but they are a vital way of attracting insects, a key food source for these flying mammals.
Honeysuckle is important for other species, too. Birds love the bright red berries that appear in the Autumn, and the tangling vines provide ideal shelter for the nests of smaller birds. Meanwhile, the larvae of certain butterflies will eat the leaves to fatten up before pupating. Bees are also attracted to the flowers.
Top Tip Honeysuckle flowers can make a good remedy for a sore throat! Collect flowers in a jar, fill the jar with honey, leave in a warm place for two weeks, then strain.
Did You Know?
Honeysuckle flowers can change colour after pollination.
In wild honeysuckle (Leponica periclymenum), the creamy flowers turn yellow and pink when they have been pollinated, telling insects that they would be wasting their energy to visit.
Honeysuckle is useful to humans, and we have used it throughout the centuries in many old-fashioned medical remedies. Another name for honeysuckle is woodbine.
I.D Guide
- Vines that climb up a trellis, wall or tree
- Trumpet-shaped flowers that are usually white, yellow or pink
- A heavy scent that is particularly strong in the evening
- Clusters of deep red sticky berries
- Grey-green, lanceolate leaves
The beautiful rose has decorated gardens for thousands of years, and has a long cultural history.
Roses are found all over the world, and the flowers are universal symbols of love and beauty.
Gardeners often breed roses to enter them into competitions, crossing different varieties to make exciting new colours and petal formations. But growing roses can be tricky, as they have many insect pests such as aphids, and diseases including mildew.
Roses are pollinated by insects, and they form an important part of a garden ecosystem. The aphids that often colonize rose bushes are eaten by ladybirds, and the larvae of other insects.
Top Tip Infuse rose petals in hot water to make your own rose water. Use this as a sweet-smelling perfume, a flavouring or to make rose syrup.
Roses have also been symbols of war and politics. In Medieval Britain, there was even a War of the Roses, in which the red rose symbolized Lancaster and the white rose York.
Roses are used in perfumes, using essential oils from the crushed petals. It is possible to make your own fragrant rose water by infusing the petals in hot water.
The Ancient Romans were mad about roses! Rose petals carpeted the floors of wealthy banquet halls, and were used to flavour wine - a tribute to Venus, Goddess of Love.
I.D Guide
- Woody shrubs, climbing or trailing plants
- Fragrant flowers in many different colours, often white, pink, yellow and red
- Red rosehips form when the flower dies
- The leaves are serrated
- The stem is covered in prickles (thorns)
Borage is a friendly herb that helps other garden plants to grow!
**Species:** Borago officinalis
**Genus:** Boraginaceae
**Family:** Borago
Borage has a blue, five-petalled flower, which is why it is also called the **Starflower**. It is a simple herb, with its blue flowers hanging in clusters.
This helpful little herb looks after other plants, and it is used in **companion planting**, to make its neighbours healthier! Borage attracts **beneficial insects** like wasps, which kill pests. Bees love borage too.
At the same time, borage **repels** pest insects. This prevents pests like the **tomato hornworm** and **cabbage moths** from attacking neighbouring plants, which is good for gardeners as well as they can use **fewer chemicals** to keep their garden healthy.
**Top Tip** Grow borage near tomatoes, squash and strawberries to make them healthier, and even improve their flavour!
---
**Did You Know?**
The young leaves of borage taste faintly of cucumber, and can be added to salads. The blue flowers are tasty and are also often added to salads, as well as drinks.
Traditionally, borage has been used to soothe asthma, to increase the milk supply in nursing mothers and to make a mood-enhancing tea!
We grow borage to make seed oil, which contains GLA, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a substance the body can’t make itself. It is often used as a dietary supplement.
---
**I.D Guide**
- Green herb that grows to ~1 metre
- Blue or purplish flower with five petals
- Flowers hang in downwards-facing clusters
- Simple leaves, which are edible and taste like cucumber
- Stems and leaves covered in a bristly ‘fuzz’
Tomatoes have been called a ‘miracle fruit’ due to their many reported health benefits.
The tomato plant is a green vine that produces a familiar bright red fruit. They are important plants for humans, as we eat tomatoes in huge quanti

IE expo China 2017: New market momentum from sponge cities
Bianca Gruber Press Contact Tel. +49 89 949-21502 bianca.gruber@ messe-muenchen.de
Government program promotes new designs and redesign of urban water infrastructure in China
By 2030, 80 percent of Chinese cities will be sponge cities
For the first time, sponge city technologies are a separate segment at the environmental technology trade fair IE expo China 2017
From May 4 to 6 this year, the international environment industry will come together at IE expo China at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). "As the leading trade fair for environmental technologies in Asia, IE expo China aims to constantly have its finger on the pulse of the latest developments in organizing its exhibits," emphasizes Stefan Rummel, Managing Director of Messe München, and adds: "These promising and far-reaching developments have now been supplemented in China by the recently introduced sponge city concept." At this year's IE expo China, a separate segment will be dedicated for the first time to sponge cities and the technologies they require. The topic will also be part of the fair's extensive conference program.
Severe flooding caused by surface sealing
Background: Many cities in China suffer from serious water shortages – and are also plagued by flooding. One of the reasons for this is that underground urban development, such as the drainage system, has been unable to keep pace with China's rapid urbanization over the past decades. In addition, many lakes, ponds and canals in the cities and the wetlands near the cities disappeared as houses were built. This means that when there is heavy rain, the water is unable to trickle away fast enough or be retained in other ways.

Press Release | January 19, 2017 | 2/2
Goal: To absorb and store as much water as possible
To counteract these problems, the Chinese government launched the Sponge City Program in 2015. The idea is that districts, residential estates and regions will be developed with storage facilities, filtration basins and wetlands and roads and sidewalks will have water permeable surfaces. These measures will be supplemented with modern wastewater systems, suitable adapted industrial areas and public green spaces. According to the planners, the cities will absorb as much water as possible and store it for future use – like sponges. One goal is that at least 70 percent of rainwater will be absorbed through the ground instead of being directed directly to rivers. The program envisages that by 2020 every fifth city in China will have the corresponding infrastructure. By 2030, this will have risen to 80 percent.
At least CNY 400 million annually for each sponge city
Since its launch in April 2015, the Chinese central government has so far included 30 cities and regions in the program. Each of these municipalities receives an annual grant of at least 400 million renminbi (almost €55 million). According to Lu Kehua, Vice Minister in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, 130 cities already have plans to be converted into sponge cities.
Market opportunities for foreign providers
Based on estimations by the Chinese-German information, networking and marketing platform econet china, the sponge city initiative also opens up promising market opportunities for foreign companies, especially in the area of urban planning and water utilization concepts. Also in demand are technologies and components to store and treat water, for wastewater systems and for ground surfaces. Analysts also see opportunities in measurement and instrumentation.
Registration documents for exhibitors are available online. More information on IE expo China can be found at www.ie-expo.com.

Abstract
Inductive wireless power transfer is a more mature technology than capacitive wireless transfer. The aim of this work is to illustrate the duality principle as tool to transfer results from the inductive into the capacitive wireless power research. The efficiency maximization by varying the loads for a Single-Input Multiple-Output system is considered to exemplify this principle, and to highlight some limitations.
1 Introduction
Power can be transferred wirelessly through quasi-static fields, either by the magnetic field or by the electric field as medium:
- Inductive wireless power transfer (IPT) is based on the generation of a time-varying \textit{magnetic field} by an alternating current in a transmitting coil. Another (receiving) coil captures the energy within this magnetic field for the generation of current.
- Capacitive wireless power transfer (CPT) utilizes one transmitter plate of a capacitor to generate an \textit{electric field} by an alternating voltage. The other (receiving) plate of the capacitor, at a certain distance of the first plate, captures the energy of this electric field for the generation of current.
CPT has several disadvantages compared to IPT, such as higher switching frequencies, larger dimensions, higher voltages, and electric fields which can cause safety concerns for the environment [1, 2]. As a result, focus within the research community went to IPT first. This lead to a situation where IPT has entered the market in a broad range of applications from consumer electronics to electric vehicles [3], whereas CPT is still more in the research phase and development. However, for certain applications (e.g., electric vehicles), CPT has advantages compared to IPT, such as a large tolerance to misalignment, the absence of eddy-current losses and lower cost, weight and heat dissipation [4, 5, 6].
The goal of this work is to emphasize to the research community that a lot of the research done for IPT can be easily translated to CPT by applying the duality principle, as well as highlighting some limitations of the duality principle for wireless power transfer. As an example, this manuscript focuses on a Single-Input Multiple-output (SIMO) system; a single transmitter powers multiple receivers. More specifically, by applying the duality principle, the load values that maximize the system efficiency for a SIMO \textit{CPT}-system are determined from the known SIMO \textit{IPT} values.
2 Inductive SIMO system
Figure 1 depicts the equivalent circuit of an IPT system with a single transmitter (subscript 0) and $N$ receivers (subscripts 1 to $N$). A time-harmonic voltage source $V_0$ at angular frequency $\omega_0$ powers the transmitter. The loads of the $N$ receivers are given by the impedances $Z_{L,n}$ ($n = 1, \ldots, N$). The losses within the system are given by the resistances $R_i$ ($i = 0, \ldots, N$). Resonance is created in each circuit by the capacitors $C_i$ and inductors $L_i$, related by:
$$C_i = \frac{1}{\omega_0^2 L_i}. \quad (1)$$
The inductors $L_i$ and $L_j$ are coupled by their mutual inductance $M_{ij}$ ($i, j = 0, \ldots, N, i \neq j$), corresponding with a coupling factor $k_{ij}$ given by:
$$k_{ij} = \frac{M_{ij}}{\sqrt{L_i L_j}}.$$ \hspace{1cm} (2)
Notice that also cross-coupling between the receivers is taken into account.
The power gain or efficiency $\eta$ of the IPT system is given by the ratio of the output power to the input power, with the output power defined as the power dissipated in the $N$ loads.
It was found [7] that, for a given SIMO IPT-system the efficiency $\eta$ is maximized when the load impedances $Z_{L,n} = R_{L,n} + jX_{L,n}$ are given by ($n = 1, \ldots, N$):
$$R_{L,n} = R_0 \alpha_{IPT}$$ \hspace{1cm} (3)
$$X_{L,n} = \frac{\omega_0 R_n}{M_{0n}} \sum_{m=1 \atop m \neq n}^{N} \frac{M_{0m} M_{mn}}{R_m}$$ \hspace{1cm} (4)
with
$$\alpha_{IPT} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{\omega_0^2}{G_0} \sum_{m=1}^{N} \frac{M_{0m}^2}{R_m}}.$$ \hspace{1cm} (5)
The maximum efficiency $\eta_{max}$ attained with these optimized load values equals [7]:
$$\eta_{max} = \frac{\alpha_{IPT} - 1}{\alpha_{IPT} + 1}.$$ \hspace{1cm} (6)
### 3 Solving the capacitive SIMO system by applying duality
The duality principle for electrical network theory results entirely from the fundamental symmetry of Maxwell’s equations in the electric and magnetic fields. A quantity is said to be the dual of another if the two quantities can be interchanged in a statement or equation without invalidation. Table 1 lists some dual quantities. As example, the relation $Z = V / I$ remains true if the quantities are replaced by their duals, that is, $Y = I / V$.
**Table 1.** Electrical dual quantities.
| Duality between | Series topology | Parallel topology |
|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Voltage $V$ | $\leftrightarrow$ | Current $I$ |
| Resistance $R$ | $\leftrightarrow$ | Conductance $G$ |
| Inductance $L$ | $\leftrightarrow$ | Capacitance $C$ |
| Reactance $X$ | $\leftrightarrow$ | Susceptance $B$ |
| Impedance $Z$ | $\leftrightarrow$ | Admittance $Y$ |
Applying the duality principle to the equivalent circuit of Figure 1 for IPT results in the network of Figure 2. It represents a CPT system with a single transmitter, powered by current source $I_0$ at angular frequency $\omega_0$ and $N$ receivers with load admittances $Y_{L,n}$. The losses within the system are given by the conductances $G_i$ ($i = 0, \ldots, N$) connected in parallel. Resonance is created in each circuit by the parallel circuit of capacitors $C_i$ and inductors $L_i$, related by (1).
*Figure 2.* The equivalent circuit of a CPT system with a single transmitter (left) and $N$ receivers (right).
The capacitors $C_i$ and $C_j$ are coupled by their mutual capacitance $C_{ij}$ ($i, j = 0, \ldots, N, \ i \neq j$), corresponding with a coupling factor $k'_{ij}$ given by:
$$k'_{ij} = \frac{C_{ij}}{\sqrt{C_i C_j}}.$$ \hspace{1cm} (7)
Figure 2 does not correspond to the physical structure of a CPT system, but represents an equivalent circuit representation [8]. The relation between this equivalent circuit and the physical structure can be easily determined by the procedure described in [9].
From the results from the IPT configuration, one can easily find the load values that maximize the efficiency of the CPT system. Replacing the quantities in (3), (4), (5) and (6) by their duals results in the load admittances $Y_{L,n} = G_{L,n} + jB_{L,n}$ that optimize the efficiency for the CPT configuration, and the expression for the maximum efficiency $\eta'_{max}$:
$$G_{L,n} = G_0 \alpha_{CPT}$$ \hspace{1cm} (8)
$$B_{L,n} = \frac{\omega_0 G_n}{C_{0n}} \sum_{m=1 \atop m \neq n}^{N} \frac{C_{0m} C_{mn}}{G_m}$$ \hspace{1cm} (9)
$$\eta'_{max} = \frac{\alpha_{CPT} - 1}{\alpha_{CPT} + 1},$$ \hspace{1cm} (10)
with
$$\alpha_{CPT} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{\omega_0^2}{G_0} \sum_{m=1}^{N} \frac{C_{0m}^2}{G_m}}.$$ \hspace{1cm} (11)
These expressions, which were only derived by applying the duality principle, correspond to the values found in literature by rigorous elaboration [10]. This example illustrates how a result from IPT can be quite straightforward transferred to CPT.
However, some limitations of applying the duality principle should be highlighted. First of all, idea

Preparation of Feasibility Study/Remedial Action Plan for RWQCB for Commingled VOC Plume with Multiple PRPs
Sunnyvale, CA
For a multiple PRP (Potentially Responsible Parties) group, EKI is currently providing technical program management, remediation, and monitoring for a chlorinated solvent release site in the Silicon Valley of the San Francisco Bay Area. This project is located amongst several plumes found in multiple aquifers, and adjoins a Federal Superfund site. Solvents have penetrated into multiple aquifer zones and DNAPL has been identified within the source area at the Site. Agency oversight is provided by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
On behalf of the PRP Group, EKI prepared a CERCLA-consistent Feasibility Study and Remedial Action Plan (FS/RAP) for onsite and offsite areas and designed remedial actions for these areas that included source containment through groundwater extraction and treatment and monitored natural attenuation (MNA) in downgradient areas. As part of the FS/RAP, EKI developed a performance monitoring plan for MNA assessment utilizing technical protocols developed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for evaluation natural attenuation of chlorinated solvents in groundwater.
In 2006, EKI obtained RWQCB approval to cease groundwater extraction and concurrently implement enhanced anaerobic bioremediation (EAB) in the former source area at the site and continue MNA in downgradient areas. EKI designed injection of lactate-based amendments to facilitate in situ bioremediation of trichloroethene in groundwater. This modification to the remedy resulted in a significant overall cost reduction relative to long-term pump and treat. As EAB source area remediation and downgradient MNA have progressed, EKI has obtained RWQCB approval to reduce the number of wells requiring monitoring and the frequency of monitoring. An amended FS/RAP identifying EAB and MNA as the preferred remedy was prepared and submitted by EKI to the RWQCB in 2012.

The Opening Up of a New Sector
Investment Opportunities in Angola’s Downstream
Like other African petroleum producers, Angola has been hard hit by the sharp drop in oil prices, which has negatively affected the country’s balance of payments, lowered GDP growth, and reduced the availability of public funds to stimulate the economy and carry out much needed investment.
The recent turn of events has also introduced a sense of urgency to the Government’s plan to diversify the economy by investing in the industrial sector, thus reducing dependence on upstream oil & gas revenues and lowering the country’s imports of manufactured goods. Not surprisingly, reducing the country’s importation of refined petroleum products has been identified as a priority of the Angolan Executive, as part of its strategy for the downstream sector, as Angola is currently dependent on imports and relatively low production from the Luanda refinery to meet its fuel needs. Although the Sonangol Refinery project in Lobito (known as Sonaref) has been in discussion for a number of years and some preparatory work has already taken place, the truth is that production from the facility is still far down the track, and Angola urgently needs to start producing more refined products.
In the current economic environment, projects such as Angola LNG (which also contemplates the processing of gas for the domestic market), and the numerous refinery projects that are currently being considered (besides Sonaref, there is also talk of the construction of other refineries including in Soyo and Bengo) would certainly contribute to the development of the country and to reducing Angola’s annual imports of refined products. Additionally, the progressive liberalization of the downstream sector and the withdrawal of State subsidies for fuel, have also opened up numerous opportunities for private investors, especially considering the perception that certain State projects may be put on hold for the time being.
Legal Framework
Seven years have passed since the enactment of the Strategy for the Liberalization of the Downstream Sector\(^1\), which at the time set a number of ambitious goals for the sector: (i) increasing efficiency in the refining chain, as well as storage, transport and distribution of fuels, (ii) encouraging and ensuring national coverage in petroleum products’ distribution, (iii) establishing a more transparent charging system, (iv) promoting national cohesion by ensuring the same conditions for the sale of products throughout the territory, and (v) allowing free access to distribution activities. Fast-forward to 2016, and it appears that the majority of the recommendations set forth in the Strategy have been implemented, mostly through the drafting and approval of important downstream sector-related legislative changes.
The downstream oil industry in Angola is supervised by the Ministry of Petroleum, with the main statute on this matter being Law No. 28/11, of September 1, 2011, the law on crude oil refining and storage, transportation, distribution and marketing of petroleum products. However, this general framework has been further regulated by additional more detailed legislation enacted over time, notably (i) Presidential Decree No. 132/13, of September 5, 2013, which lays down specific rules on crude oil refining and the storage and transport of petroleum products by pipeline, the petroleum products system logistics supervision system, the operation of wholesale and retail markets, public service obligations, and the planning and licensing of the petroleum products system, and (ii) Presidential Decree No. 173/13, of October 30, 2013, which approved the procedures and defined the powers for the licensing and supervision of facilities for storage of petroleum products, facilities for the supply of liquid and gaseous fuels (i.e. fuel stations), and distribution networks connected to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) reservoirs.
The legislation currently applicable to the sector foresees specific rules and requirements for each segment of the downstream value chain, thus allowing for different opportunities for investors.
At present, Sonangol Logistics (a subsidiary of Sonangol, E.P.) acts as the logistics supervisor of the Petroleum Products System under a concession granted by the State. As such, it is responsible for supervising operators of petroleum products storage facilities (whether or not they operate terminals for the reception of petroleum products), petroleum

\(^1\) Resolution No. 105/09, of November 19, 2009.
products’ pipeline transportation operators, petroleum product retailers, and the Luanda Refinery (the only refiner subject to a special framework). With the restructuring of Sonangol, E.P. that is currently underway (which shall hereinafter focus on its role of upstream National Concessionaire), it is not clear which entity, if any, will undertake Sonangol logistics’ functions and duties, or where the latter will fit in terms of the petroleum sector organizational framework. In any case, pending full liberalization of the downstream sector we would expect that the State will wish to maintain a certain degree of control over the petroleum products’ logistics subsector.
**Progressive Liberalization of the Sector and Opportunities**
Although the Angolan State has been progressively opening up the downstream sector to private investment, there are still certain restrictions for segments of the downstream value chain.
With a view to promoting and supporting the local industry, companies wishing to carry out activities related to crude oil refining, and storage and transport by pipeline of petroleum products must be controlled by Angolan citizens. This means that they must be at least 51% held by Angolan citizens, who must hold over half the voting rights, have the right to appoint over half of the members of the management or administration bodies of the relevant company, and have the power to define the company’s operational and strategic policies. Although this is a restriction to full foreign investment in these activities, the truth is that opportunities exist for those companies that know how to partner with local investors and adequately structure and protect their shareholding positions.
One area where the market has been liberalized is retail marketing of petroleum products, which includes marketing of liquid fuel in service stations, marketing and distribution of piped LPG, marketing of bottled LPG, and marketing of oils and greases. Retail marketing is subject to licensing and is performed under a free market regime, meaning that competition among operators is ensured. There are no nationality requirements to carry out these activities, and the retail fuel stations’ subsector is an area in respect of which private investors have shown interest of late.
Among other rules, fuel retailers are required to ensure the operation, technical integrity and maintenance of the liquid fuel service stations in safe and reliable conditions, while guaranteeing compliance with the applicable service quality standards, ensuring the safety of reception and transshipment operations from road tankers at the liquid fuel service stations, bearing the charges in connection with the distribution of the petroleum products ordered from Sonangol Logistica, ensuring the transparency of the prices applied, complying with public service obligations, including the creation of emergency stocks, and keeping records of their commercial activities.
Marketing activities are also subject to licensing by the Minister of Petroleum, being the authorization to engage in retail marketing of petroleum products handled simultaneously with the licensing of the facilities where the relevant activity will be performed. In some situations, however (for instance, fuel filling stations for own consumption or belonging to the cooperative sector of the economy, with a capacity exceeding 10 m$^3$)

Looping Statements
A loop is used for executing a block of statements repeatedly until a particular condition is satisfied. For example, when you are displaying number from 1 to 100 you may want set the value of a variable to 1 and display it 100 times, increasing its value by 1 on each loop iteration.
Type of Loop in FoxPro
There are mainly Two types of looping Statement
1. Do while ........enddo
2. For ....... Endfor
Other looping Statement for Database Scan.....endscan
1. DO WHILE ... ENDDO
DO WHILE loop, which has the following form i.e.
SYNTAX:
DO WHILE < expL >
statements increment/decrement
ENDDO
where < expL > is a condition
The DO WHILE . . . ENDDO construct allows statements to be executed repeatedly as long as a given condition is true.
Example:
```
Clear Input "inter the value of a:" to a i=1 Do while i<=a && condition ? " The value of i =",i && statement i=i+1 &&increment Enddo
```
Example: WAP to print counting 10 to 1
```
clear a=10 do while a>=1 ?a a=a-1 && decrement enddoo
```
2. FOR — ENDFOR:
The FOR . . . ENDFOR executes a set of statements within a loop a specified number of times. A memory variable or an array element is used as a counter to specify how many times the statements inside the loop are executed.
Syntax
FOR <memvar> = <initial val> TO <final val> STEP <no> statement1 statement2 ENDFOR
Example:1
CLEAR
Input "enter the value of a:" to a
? I
FOR I = 1 TO a
EndFor
Note: If tha value of "a" is 10 then print 1 to 10 By default, FOR . . . ENDFOR increments the counter (memory variable) by 1. However, if required, you can specify the increment rate through the step option with For.
Example:2
The following program displays the square root of use loop and Exit commands within FOR
```
the series - 10, 12, 14, ... ....n. Clear Input "enter the value of n:" to n FOR I = 10 TO n STEP 2 ? SQRT (I) ENDFOR NOTE: Like DO WHILE . . . ENDDO, you can also

TRANSGENDER IN ARMED FORCES - GS I AND III MAINS
Q. "Indian Armed Forces are looking at possible employment opportunities for transgender persons". Critically Analyse (15 marks, 250 words)
News: Talks on in Armed Forces on possible entry of transgenders, study group formed
What's in the news?
* The Indian Armed Forces are looking at possible employment opportunities for transgender persons and the roles they could perform, while examining the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, and its implications.
Key takeaways:
* By drawing parallels with successful women integration, proposing protected roles initially and emphasizing social awareness, the approach aims for a balanced, transparent and inclusive transformation within the military, recognizing and addressing historical discrimination.
Changing Society:
1. Growing Acceptance:
* People are becoming more accepting of transgender folks, which is a positive change. Society is starting to understand the importance of including everyone, regardless of their gender identity.
2. Recognizing Challenges:
* Society acknowledges that transgender individuals have faced a tough time with discrimination, stigma, and fewer opportunities. This recognition is crucial in addressing historical disadvantages.
3. Legal Steps in India:
* India has taken legal steps, like the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act in 2019, to protect transgender rights. This shows a commitment to making things better since a significant judgment in 2014.
4. Armed Forces Proposal:
* There's a suggestion to include transgender individuals in the armed forces. This proposal comes from the realization that they've been at a disadvantage and need proactive help to be part of every aspect of life.
5. Stepwise Integration Approach:
* The idea is to include transgender individuals gradually, just like how women's roles in the armed forces expanded step by step. This way, we can be sure that we're ready and set up for their inclusion.
6. Learning from Women's Inclusion:
* Society learning from how women were included in the armed forces. By doing this, we hope to avoid problems and make the integration process smooth and successful.
7. Roles for Transgender Personnel:
* Transgender individuals might start with roles in medical services and staff positions. Initially, these roles will be more protected to ensure they feel comfortable and respected.
8. Social Awareness Emphasis:
* There's a suggestion to make the armed forces more aware of societal justice and the discrimination faced by transgender individuals. This change in mindset is vital for a successful integration.
Key Challenges:
1. Societal Prejudices:
* A challenge is dealing with society's biases within the armed forces. Overcoming these biases is crucial for creating an inclusive environment.
2. Balancing Inclusion with Discipline:
* Society needs to be careful about how inclusion might affect the strong discipline and camaraderie in the armed forces. Balancing inclusion with maintaining teamwork is a tricky but necessary challenge.
3. Infrastructure Support:
* Developing the needed support for transgender individuals is important. This includes making sure the armed forces are ready and equipped for their inclusion.
4. Dignity Concerns:
* Society is aware of concerns about respecting the dignity and self-respect of transgender individuals. To address this, there's a proposal for more protected roles initially.
WAY FORWARD:
1. Gradual Expansion of Roles:
* More roles based on abilities and merit. This ensures that everyone gets opportunities based on their skills.
2. Involvement of Transgender Community:
* Transgender community should be part of decision-making. This makes sure their views are central to the integration process.
3. Establishing Social Awareness Strategy:
* Emphasis need for a strategy to make the armed forces more aware. This ensures that everyone understands and accepts the need for change.
4. Transparent and Just Process:
* Highlighting the importance of openness and fairness in the integration process. This ensures that the process is respectful and just for everyone involved.

CENVAT Credit to be availed within 6 months – a draconian development : 11-07-2014
By S Sivakumar, LL.B, FCA, FCS, ACSI,MBA, Advocate
IN what could be termed a draconian development, Rule 4(1) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 is proposed to be to amended with effect from September 1, 2014 to provide that the manufacturer or the service provider should avail of CENVAT credit of the duty paid on inputs or the service tax paid on input services, within 6 months from the date of the relevant document specified in Rule 9(1) of the CCR, 2004, eg. Invoice. The proviso to Rule 4(7), in terms of which, the service recipient who has taken CENVAT credit on the basis of the receipt of the documents referred to rule 9(1) of the CCR, 2004 is required to reverse the credit if the payment is not made within 3 months of the date of the input invoice, etc. stands.
As we know, there is no time limit, as of now, under the central excise law, for availment of CENVAT credit. Courts have held that, in the absence of a time limit prescribed under law, credit can be taken even at a later stage and in some cases, assessees have been allowed to avail of credit, even after some years. This benefit is gone now, with the proposed amendment, fixing the time limit for credit availment, at 6 months from the date of the invoice, etc.
A combined reading of these sub-rules of Rule 4 makes it clear that, the assessee needs to meet the following two conditions for availment of CENVAT credit, on a cumulative/parallel basis, viz.
++ Credit to be availed within 6 months of the date of the input invoice
++ While credit can be availed on receipt of the invoice pertaining to input service, payment will have to be effected within 3 months from the date of the invoice, failing which, the credit availed should be reversed.
Assume a case, where the assessee actually receives the service provider's invoice dated September 1, 2014 on January 31, 2015. While the assessee can avail of credit on January 31, 2015 on receipt of the input invoice, he would still have to effect the payment for the value of the input service on or before February 28, 2015, as the last date for availment of credit in this case, is February 28, 2015, i.e. 6 months from the date of the input invoice. In other words, the benefit of 3 months' time frame for payment of the value of the input service, visà-vis availment of CENVAT credit, would be subject to the overall limit of 6 months fixed for availment of credit by the new amendment. We do not have a similar provision under the VAT laws, fixing a time frame for availment of input tax credit. Further, availment of input tax credit is not linked to the payment for the purchase of inputs.
The proposed amendment, in respect of the reverse charge mechanism, in terms of which, the point of taxation in respect ofservices would be the date of the payment by the service receiver or the first day after 3 months of the date of the invoice, whichever is earlier, appears draconian, to say the least. Due to this amendment, the liability under RCM would get triggered on the earlier of, the date of payment of the invoice by the service recipient or the 91 st day from the date of the invoice. Prior to this amendment, the service recipient had a time frame of 6 months to effect the payment, failing which, the point of taxation was reckoned as the date of the invoice.

Town Mouse and Country Mouse
Teacher's Notes
Summary
Town Mouse and Country Mouse are good friends although they live in very different places. When Town Mouse visits Country Mouse for lunch, he sees fruit trees and farm animals for the first time and he eats home-grown food. When Country Mouse goes to the town for lunch, Town Mouse introduces him to parks, buses and a food store. They each prefer their own homes, but remain the best of friends.
Background to the story
The first known appearance of the story of the town mouse and the country mouse was in Scotland in the 15th century, when Robert Henryson (c.1425–c.1508) first wrote the story in verse, inspired by the moral fables told by Aesop. The story has since become a children's classic. Aesop (c.620-560 BC) was a Greek writer believed to have been a freed slave. He wrote numerous moralistic beast fables and these were largely transmitted orally for many years.
Topics and themes
Animals Mice are animals found everywhere, both in the wild (in towns or countryside) and as pets. The topic can therefore be used for factual information. Mice are also very popular in stories. Town Mouse, Country Mouse can also be used for work on comparative adjectives by asking the pupils to think of animals that are 'bigger than' or 'smaller than' mice, for example.
The country and the town Town Mouse and Country Mouse discover new things when they visit each other. What are town/country differences that the pupils can think of? Perhaps the pupils could have a class vote to find out who would rather live in the country and who would rather live in a town and then justify their decisions based on the merits or disadvantages of each. Using the illustrations in the Reader, ask the pupils to think also of the differences between their countryside and towns and those found in other countries.
Food Country Mouse eats the food that is produced in or near his home, but Town Mouse buys his food
Making use of the Reader
Finger Puppets (About 20 minutes) Cut out a semi-circular piece of card (around 20 cm in diameter) for each pupil. Tell the pupils they will make either a Town Mouse or a Country Mouse and to illustrate the card as appropriate, based on the illustrations in the book. Collect the cards and join the ends, securing with a staple, or tape, before redistributing the finger puppets.
These can then be used as props in a small play based on the Reader. Here are two suggestions:
Mice on vacation (About 30 minutes or over several lessons) Pre-prepare some large pieces of
in a large town store. Several topics can be developed from this, including how food (either in general, or keeping to cheese and apples) is made, how is it brought to stores from farms around the world. Pupils may like to research what mice eat in the wild and say what their pets eat. Are there other stories about cheese that the pupils know? Penguin Young Readers Aesops Fa b l e s has one story about a fox who likes cheese.
World/environment Food from around the world is one topic that can be worked on. Also for discussion is the one of mice as spreading disease, and being pests in people's homes. The Penguin Young Readers Pied Piper of Hamelin (actually on rats) is a story on this theme.
Friendships Town Mouse and Country Mouse have very different lifestyles but they are still the best of friends. The pupils may like to describe their own friends, perhaps focusing on similarities and differences or discussing trips to friends' homes.
cardboard (around 35cm sq) with flaps on the bottom to ensure they stand up. These will be made into small backdrops for the puppet play. With the whole class, brainstorm town and country vocabulary, beginning with the vocabulary from the Reader and progressing to less familiar words. Divide the pupils into pairs with their finger puppets. In each pair there should be a Town Mouse and a Country Mouse. Distribute the backdrop cards, one for each pair. The pupils then work together in pairs to decorate their backdrop, either as a country scene or a town scene, illustrating it with as many of the brainstormed items as possible. When these are completed, the pupils re-enact the Town

Town Mouse and Country Mouse
Teacher's Notes
Mouse's visit to the country or vice versa, speaking the words 'what's this?' .… 'it's a …' and so on.
Alternatively, begin the lesson by brainstorming other environment vocabulary, focusing on either 'the beach' or 'the mountains' or 'a safari'. The pupils then decorate their backdrops and take the mice on vacation together!
Listen and color (20 minutes) Using
photocopiable activity number 2. When the pupils have completed the photocopiable exercise, ask them to cut out the town scene and the country scene. One partner should then secretly color the town scene and the other should color the country scene, making sure they cannot see each other's work. When they have finished, explain to the pupils that they must dictate to their partner the way the unfinished scenes should be colored ('the bus is red', for example) and that the aim is to have matching pictures in the end.
Questionnaire: Are you a Town Mouse or a Country Mouse? (About 15 minutes) Pre-prepare a small collection of multiple choice questions. For example: 'Do you like (or prefer) a) animals, b) shops'/ 'Do you like (prefer) a) climbing trees, b) riding on buses'. Make sure that if the answers are mostly 'a' the pupil will be a 'Country Mouse' and mostly 'b', the pupil will be a 'Town Mouse'. Hand out the questionnaires and ask the pupils to interview each other in order to find out their preferences. Collect the questionnaires and give the pupils the results.
Using the accompanying audio cassette
During listening The pupils can complete photocopiable activity number one while listening to the cassette. Alternatively, play sections of the cassette at random, isolating phrases such as 'it's a bus', or 'it's an apple tree' and ask the pupils to respond 'town' or 'country'.
As there are so few words in the Reader, pupils may like to work together to add more script. There could be a narrator, who speaks between pages 2-3 for example: 'Town mouse goes to see his friend, Country Mouse on Thursday. Country Mouse shows him the farm.' The tape can be re-recorded.
Chants
Chants help pupils become familiar with the sounds and rhythm of English. The language in each chant recycles language from the Reader.
Suggested procedure
Pupils listen to the chant on cassette one or two times, clapping their hands or tapping their desks in time with the rhythm.
You can then split the class into 2 or 3 groups and each group can say one verse of the chant in turn.
Chant 2
Chant 1
What's this? It's a cow What's this? It's an apple tree
Milk and cheese are from…..
The cow
Apples are from…..
Pupils then say the chant, verse by verse, together with the cassette, beating the rhythm as they speak, until they are familiar with the words and the rhythm.
The trees
What's this? It's a cow What's this? It's an apple tree
Notes on the activities in the Factsheet
1 The pupils write either TM (Town Mouse) or CM (Country Mouse) next to the sentences.
2 First the pupils write the words next to the pictures in the spaces provided. Then they cut out (or you can do this for them) the pictures and stick them either in the town or the country scene below.
Come to the country for lunch! Thank you What shall we have? Cheese and apples I'm hungry. Let's have lunch!
Chant 2
Are the milk and cheese from the cow? Are the apples from the trees? Country mouse asks
Milk and cheese are not from the cow And apples are not from the trees Town mouse says
Where in the town is the cow?
Where in the town are the trees?
Country mouse asks

Mobeds Review New Atashkadeh Drawings
On February 17th, the Ontario Mobed community was invited to OZCF by the Place of Worship Advisory Committee (PWAC) to verify design drawings pertaining to the new place of worship. The Presidents of OZCF and ZSO were also invited.
The architects were present to describe the overall design and building materials to be used, following many meetings with the mobed sub-committee and much research with scholars from India and Iran. Particular focus was placed on design of the prayer hall with Kebla, as well as the Yasnagah, to keep it as authentic as possible to similar structures in India and Iran.
Following a sumptuous meal, the mobeds commented positively on the overall design and provided important input. They suggested some minor adjustments which will be made in the final design stage.
PWAC intends to hold a townhall meeting with the community in March, to show progress made and review the updated drawings. Notice will be provided soon.
May Ahura Mazda always bless our community.

On February 10, Yasna Dhabhar and Sarosh Daver participated in the Polar Plunge 2018 through the Army Cadets, 2824 COPS. This was the 50th year of the Polar Plunge, which promotes awareness and supports the Special Olympics of Ontario. Working with different teams, they collected over $1,500 in donations to help fund the Law Enforcement Torch Run as well as enjoying a dip in icy water with temperatures reaching as cold as -13°C! Both the cadets have been chosen to go for a March Break trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida as a reward of their daring feat.
We are proud of our Parsi youth and encourage altruism within the community.

HARWINTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2018
Mail: PO Box 84, Harwinton, CT 06791 email: [email protected]
The Barn Corner
FLAILING AND WINNOWING By DAVE RYAN
On display in the Historical Society's Barn Museum (on Litchfield Road) and Country Store (at the Harwinton Fairgrounds) are several examples of a wheat threshing tool known as a FLAIL. Each flail consists of two round sticks, (one about three feet long with a handle) connected by a leather thong to a shorter, heavier stick called a "SWIPPLE."
The swipple beats the wheat in order to separate the grain from its protective coating called the chaff. Separating the two is necessary because the grain can be digested by humans, but the chaff cannot. The chaff, however, can be digested by livestock.
The flail handle was grabbed by both hands and swung, causing the swipple to strike a pile of grain which loosens the husks. Because the flail moved freely, it was hard to beat the grain accurately. A day's work flailing by one man could yield about seven bushels.
The use of the flail declined in the mid-1800's as it was replaced by modern technology such as combine harvesters. The modern combine harvester, or simply COMBINE, is a machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations—reaping, threshing, and winnowing—into a single process.
One place a flail is still used is in the state of Minnesota where, by law, wild rice must be harvested manually by threshing. This flail is different in that it has only one round stick instead of two. Flails used for other cereal grains, such as barley or oats, might be longer or shorter than the ones we have.
The flail came to us from England, where it was called a "peasant flail." Interestingly, it was also used by the peasants as a weapon, sometimes with pointed objects attached to the swipple to make it more effective in doing damage.
While the flail has mostly disappeared from use today, the word remains with us - as a person flails his (or her) arms wildly in no particular pattern.
SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF
While the swipple beats (or threshes) most of the grain from the chaff, a certain amount of chaff will remain. Since this is not good for humans, the remaining chaff must be eliminated. This is accomplished by the traditional process of WINNOWING.

TRIVIA
Question: After Connecticut became a state, how long did it take to adopt a state constitution? Answer on page 4
HARWINTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER – December 2018
TWO NEW PROGRAMS SCHEDULED
Sunday, Dec. 2: A Sacred Place Revisited 2 to 4 p.m., Harwinton Library
Historical Society Receives Support from Local Businesses
Local resident Bob DeFosses will provide an update on his research into what he calls a "Sacred Space on a Hilltop in Harwinton, CT." This presentation will provide some new insight on the stone formations on his own property as well as information about a ceremonial landscape that DeFosses believes exists on 2,100 acres of land in Harwinton known as the Roraback Property, which has been owned by the state Department of Environmental Protection since 1982.
Sunday, Dec. 9: The Vietnam War 2 to 4 p.m., Harwinton Library
This program will include the video "Dick Cavett's Vietnam," followed by a discussion period. Cavett interviewed people with a wide range of opinions on the war during his talk show programs in the 1960's and '70's. He interviewed government officials from Wayne Morse, one of two US Senators who voted against the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, to Henry Kissinger, Nixon's national security adviser. Cavett also interviewed veterans with a wide range of opinions. The discussion that follows the video will focus on two questions: What had we learned from history that led to our involvement in Southeast Asia? and What lessons from Vietnam might be applicable to our current involvement in civil strife around the world? The discussion will be led by retired history teacher and Harwinton resident Bruce Burnett.
At the 2018 Harwinton Fair in October a total of 1,275 tickets were entered in the Historical Society's Take-a-Chance drawing. Fourteen businesses participated by offering gift certificates for a variety of products and services. Please help support them for their generosity. They are:
A Healing Trail Wellness Center Burlington Golf Center Coach Mel's Health and Fitness for Life Countryside Market and Pizza Deeply Rooted Farm The Edison Grill Restaurant Harwinton Pizza Hayward Farms Hometown Pizza II KidsPlay Children's Museum Litchfield Hills Veterinary Hospital The Liquor Lad Tony's Drive-in Package Store The Warner Theatre
Separating the Grains of Wheat from the Chaff, continued from page 1
By tossing the beaten grain and chaff into the air when there is a light wind blowing the problem will be solved. The chaff is much lighter, so the heaver grain will fall to the ground where it can be gathered up onto a plate-shaped basket or other receptacle and stored for future consumption. The wind will carry the lighter chaff away. Today, the process of winnowing grain by hand has been replaced in most cultures.

Narendra Jaggi, Illinois Wesleyan University, interviewed by Charlie Schlenker, WGLT WGLT Interview Transcript 08/29/2002
A new paper suggests that racial segregation in this country is not inevitable after all…in spite of the persistence of segregation over decades and landmark legislation to counteract it. WGLT's Charlie Schlenker talk with the Illinois Wesleyan University professor who is building on past computer modeling technique…
Charlie Schlenker: Thirty-five years after the Civil Rights Movement and well after the passing of the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, urban residential areas are as firmly segregated as they were in the 1960s. Only smaller towns with smaller minority populations have shown signs of easing the intensity of segregation. Illinois Wesleyan University Physics Professor Dr. Narendra Jaggi has done a study involving computer modeling of choices. Dr. Jaggi, until now, what has the explanation been for the lack of change on ethnic living patterns?
Narendra Jaggi: In the early 70s, people began to focus on some work which tended to suggest or at least so the claim was that very miniscule preferences for your own kind— in fact the phrase used was "color-blind"—or nearly color-blind preferences are enough in and of themselves to produce completely segregated communities. These were based upon computer simulations as if racial segregation is a nearly inevitable consequence of rather mild preferences for your own kind.
Charlie Schlenker: Your study includes one new factor that hasn't been in the literature until now—the range of vision. Now what is that?
Narendra Jaggi: In some sense it is exactly what it says. People have put in the complexity of attractive geographical features like good schools, tennis courts, public libraries, but in almost all these studies, the agents, meaning folks, they look only at their immediate neighborhood, the neighbor to the left, to the right, north and south, in making their rational decisions about whether or not to move. What my simulation—our simulation I must say because Alex Laurie, my student, has worked with me intimately—our simulation says that this is unnatural. Nobody is that obsessed with the color of only your four or six immediate neighbors. Most people, in fact, when they make judgments about which neighborhood to move, they sample on a bigger range.
Charlie Schlenker: Well how does a block range or a neighborhood range or a sector of the city range affect how segregation occurs over time?
Narendra Jaggi: And this is what we were very, I would say, pleasantly surprised by the results. Increasing the range of vision beyond the mile-big immediate neighborhood effectively has a tendency of amplifying whatever the tendencies of the agents were to begin with so that if you wanted to have let's say 60% of your neighbors to be of your own kind, I would call that scaredy cat, someone who is so afraid that he wants to have 60% of his own kind. That class of models, if you increase the vision, it makes a society much more segregated, in fact, completely segregated into just two ghettos in a very short time. On the other hand, if your preference for your own kind was modest, let us say like 30%, okay, you were comfortable with about a third of the people being of your own kind, then when you increase the range of vision of these agents it is a remarkable effect. Societies get integrated, remain integrated and stable for very extended periods of time.
Charlie Schlenker: So what does that suggest for policy choices?
Narendra Jaggi: One immediate consequence that leaps out at you is that make the information about the racial composition on different scales available to all people who are in the market. Just the availability of what is the concentration of different ethnic groups over a two-block radius or a four-block radius around wherever you are looking, you see, so making vision explicitly available to an agent, even if he or she hasn't actually thought about it, might help the process. Additionally, you could guide people. You say, "Well, you know, I see your point that you want a few more people of your own kind in a neighborhood but you don't have to buy right here. A few blocks over there, you got about 30-40% people of your own kind. Do you want to look there?" And perhaps even have market-based encouragements not to move into neighborhoods that are already segregated, so small guiding away from regions that are developing excessive concentrations can have large influences if the agents have a slightly bigger vision.

Microwave Characterization of Nickel
Stepan Lucyszyn
Imperial College London, UK
Abstract—In recent years, nickel has found new applications in RF microfabricated filters and MEMS switches, as it is proving to be a convenient structural material and suitable for realizing power-efficient electrothermal buckle-beam microactuators. While nickel is becoming a material of choice for processing engineers, there is a serious issue of RF characterization at microwave frequencies. This paper investigates some of the issues associated with both measurement and modelling of nickel. It has been found that RF engineers are currently faced with the problem that there is insufficient data available to undertake simulation designs with a high level of confidence at microwave frequencies.
1. INTRODUCTION
Nickel has for many decades been used for realizing ferrites, employed in radio frequency (RF) applications, due to its high magnetic permeability at low frequencies. However, in recent years, electroplated nickel has been used as a structural material in RF microfabricated circuits [1] and even radio frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS [2]) applications [3–5]. With the former, at around 30 GHz, weakly magnetized nickel has twice the surface resistance of silver or copper, but is chemically and mechanically more robust [1]. Moreover, it has a relatively small deleterious effect [1]. Also, when used in electrothermal buckle-beam microactuators, since nickel’s thermal expansion coefficient is approximately five times greater than that of polysilicon, the same displacements can be obtained at a much lower temperatures [5]. Therefore, its use in RF transmission lines and microactuators permits co-fabrication, having the same lithographic steps [5]. On the other hand, creep and high-cycle fatigue of nickel structures, particularly at elevated temperatures, may still limit their use in electrothermal microactuators for some applications, due to the impact on their reliability and lifetime [5].
It is very important for the RF designer to understand and know the frequency characteristics of all the materials to be employed in the development of a future device, circuit or system. Surprisingly, very little has been reported on the magnetic permeability of nickel. A survey of textbook values is given in Table 1, along with additional data from a leading commercial 3D electromagnetic simulation software package: Ansoft’s High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS™).

| Oliver [6] | 1.15 | 50 |
| Carter [7] | 1.28 | 600 |
| Popovic and Popovic [8] | 1.28 | 600 |
| HFSS™ [9] | 1.45 | 600 |
Clearly, within Table 1, very little consensus exists on the combined values of dc bulk conductivity and magnetic relative permeability. Indeed, with the latter, no information is given as to whether the values represent dc values. Also there is no information on how the nickel was deposited or its level of purity. This makes the design of nickel structures for microwave applications very difficult indeed. This paper tries to address the issue of characterizing the frequency dispersive nature of magnetic permeability for nickel.
2. GENERAL FREQUENCY BEHAVIOUR
When an alternating magnetic field is applied, at low frequencies, the magnetic domains respond to it and produce a high permeability material. This works up to hundreds of megahertz with insulating ferrites but only up to a few kilohertz for conducting ferromagnets like nickel. The initial permeability is measured with almost no externally applied magnetic field, where the domain walls are just beginning to move from their equilibrium state. The present investigation is concerned with the measurement of the initial permeability in small magnetic fields, where all boundary movements are reversible. At low frequencies the permeability is high, because the domains can follow the applied field. As frequency increases, movement of the domains lag behind the applied field and the resulting increase in loss, caused by friction, is represented by the associated increase in the imaginary part of initial permeability. At infrared frequencies and shorter wavelengths, the domains cannot follow the applied field and so there is no loss from trying to follow it and the relative initial permeability approaches unity. Therefore, the dc value of initial permeability must fall off as frequency increases and the greatest frequency dispersion generally occurs between 0.1 and 10 GHz; the decrease in permeability for nickel is in the neighbourhood of 1 GHz [10].
3. SURVEY OF MEASURED MICROWAVE DATA
Scientists have been investigating the properties of magnetic materials for a century. In 1951, Bozorth collated all the data that was available during that time for the frequency dispersion characteristics of permeability. The collated graphs are reproduced in Fig. 1 [10].
Figure 1: Measured frequency characteristics of initial permeability for nickel [10]. (+ Arkadiew [11], ∇ Simon [12], ▲ Hodsman et al. [13])
From Fig. 1, it can be seen that the frequency behaviour does indeed show a low frequency value that drops off at around 1 GHz. However, at any one frequency, the results from different researchers give large discrepancies in their measured values. Surface conditions are thought to be an important factor at microwave frequencies. For example, a thin oxide film, formed on the metal during heat treatment, may cause the apparent permeability to decrease by a factor of 10 [10]. Moreover, Arkadiew also noted an increase of high-frequency permeability when magnetic material is annealed [11].
This inconsistency in measurement data makes the characterization of nickel very difficult. The following reviews some of the experimental approaches undertaken and highlights key findings.
3.1. Arkadiew [11]
Back in 1919, reflectivity measurements were performed by Arkadiew with fine wire gratings made from ferromagnetic materials. Here, initial permeability was shown to decrease from 20 at 0.41 GHz
down to approximately 1.2 at 12.3 GHz [11]. Unfortunately, the reflection coefficients from ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals, having medium to high conductivities, for both plane and guided waves, do not differ sufficiently to allow direct measurement [13].
### 3.2. Hodsman et al. [13]
In 1948, measurements are carried out by comparing the attenuation constants of 1.4 m length coaxial transmission lines having an inner conductor made from 99.5% purity nickel and reference nonferromagnetic (e.g., constantan or German silver) wire. Here, the attenuation constants are derived from circles on an impedance Smith chart, which were produced by measuring the standing-wave patterns in the transmission line for different positions of a movable short circuit that were then transformed into values of input impedances. The results are given in Table 2. Calculations showed that the probable error in the recorded values for permeability is of the order of 15% for nickel.
**Table 2: Measured initial permeability [13].**
| Frequency [GHz] | dc | 3.356 | 3.374 | 3.956 | 4.545 | 5.062 | 5.564 | 6.522 | 8.772 | 9.615 | 10.084 |
|-----------------|------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|--------|
| Initial Permeability | 17 | 8.3 | 7.5 | 5.6 | 5.0 | 4.1 | 3.4 | 3.0 | 1.5 | 1.03 | 1.0 |
### 3.3. Hsu et al. [14]
Hsu et al. recently attempted to model the 20 to 40 GHz frequency band power loss behaviour of 8, 10 and 16 mm length nickel CPW transmission lines [14]. A high-resistivity silicon (HRS) substrate was employed that also has a

Black Swamp Gamers Constitution and By-Laws
ARTICLE I: NAME & PURPOSE
Section A: Name – The name of this club shall be Black Swamp Gamers.
Section B: Location – The club main office is located at 205 Farnsworth Rd Suite E, Waterville, OH 43566.
Section C: National Affiliation – Black Swamp Gamers is not affiliated with any nationally known organizations. We are currently independent of any other board game clubs.
Section D: Purpose – The purpose of this club shall be:
1. To Provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere with like-minded people who have a common interest in board games, card games, etc; also known as hobby gaming.
2. To give our members a relaxing and entertaining experience through group interaction and conversation.
3. To raise awareness of the growing community of hobby gaming.
ARTICLE II: MEMBERSHIP, DUES, & MEMBER RIGHTS
Section A: Eligibility - Membership shall be open to the public for anyone who has an interest in Black Swamp Gamers upon payment of the dues as outlined in Section B.
Section B: Dues – Dues are as follows for each membership type:
Limited Partner –$250 per year
Contributor –$200 per year
Household –$15 per month OR $150 per year (max of 2 dependents)**
Member –$10 per month OR $100 per year
D&D Member –$5 per month OR $50 per year
All dues are to be paid in full once application has been approved, then if a membership is being renewed, 1-7 days prior to plan expiration date.
Section B: Membership Rights
Limited Partner - with approval from 2 other partners, only 7 positions available - This allows you to be a key holding partner in the club. Being a limited partner, you may be called upon to help open the building on game days and be a staff organizer of hosted events. This is a large responsibility and it is not handed out lightly. It will put you in charge if anything were to happen. This also allows you to hold private events. Limited partners can bring as many guests as they please, as often as they want (guests must still present a guest pass). This is to try and get them to convert to a members' status down the road. Limited Partners are also allowed to store their game collections at the shop. Lastly, being a partner also will allow you first access to game demos and special viewing events that BSG may hold with game designers in the future.
Contributor - This level of membership gives many of the same rights as a limited partner in terms of club influence but comes with less responsibility (pretty much a limited partner without the key to the door). You are welcome to host your own private events with friends on any day a key holder is present or you can schedule time with a partner to be available to open the building. Contributors are also allowed to bring as many guests as they please to boost membership numbers and can store their collections at the shop. Contributors are also allowed first viewings of new games and demos that we host with game designers.
Household - This membership level is for families that still have dependents that live in the same house. This would NOT be a good plan for just 1 couple with no kids. This is meant to be able to add additional children to an account. ** - Up to a max of 2 dependents or rates change to $5 extra per dependent. EX – a household member, his/her spouse, and 3 kids would have to pay $20 per month. If they only had 2 kids, it would be $15 or if they had 4 kids it would be $25. ** - For yearly commitment, prices go up $50 for each extra dependent. Age restrictions apply, see Article VIII, Section C.
Member - This allows you access to the building only when a key holding partner is available and on Saturday events. Members are allowed 3 guest passes per month.
D&D Members – This is exclusively for people who intend on ONLY playing D&D on group nights up at the clubhouse. This pays for the players use of space, electricity, use of club resources, etc. This membership does not allow them to play on regular games night and should only be at the club on planned D&D party nights.
NOTE - All plans (except D&D Members) listed are to be considered "Couples" plans. This means that every plan consists of its primary account holder, then 1 SPOUSE. This doesn't not include "Significant others" or "Longtime boyfriend/girlfriend". Just as state law sees a married couple as 1 entity, this also applies for the club. For example, if a married couple with no kids would like to become members, they would only need a Member level plan for $10 a month or $100 a year. ID proof would be greatly appreciated. Be sure to list your spouse's name on the application so that 2 membership cards can be printed.
ARTICLE III: OFFICERS
Section A: Officers – The officers shall be a Club President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Event Organizer, and Public Relations (PR) officer.
Section B: Eligibility – Officers must have a Limited Partner OR Contributor membership status.
Section C: Election – The officers shall be elected by ballot at the last meeting of the 4 th quarter by a majority of the vote cast for that office by Limited Partners and Contributors.
Section D: Term – The officers shall serve for one year and their term of office shall begin at the commencement of the 4 th quarter meeting. All officer positions can be held for multiple terms until they are voted out of office or choose to resign. Black Swamp Gamers 1 st Quarter starts July 1 st .
Section E: Vacancy – If a vacancy occurs in the office of Club President, the Vice-President shall assume the office for the remainder of the term and vacancies in any other office shall be filled by a special election.

EE C128 / ME C134 – Feedback Control Systems
Lecture – Chapter 3 – Modeling in the Time Domain
Alexandre Bayen
Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
University of California Berkeley
September 10, 2013
Topics covered in this presentation

- Linear independence
- State space representation
- Conversion between systems in time-, frequency-domain, TF, & state space representations
3 Modeling in the time domain
- 3.1 Introduction
- 3.2 Some observations
- 3.3 The general state space representation
- 3.4 Applying the state space representation
- 3.5 Converting a transfer function to state space
- 3.6 Converting from state space to a transfer function

- 3.6 Converting from state space to a transfer function
SS representation, [1, p. 119]
Procedure
1. **System variables**: Select a subset of all possible system variables as states and determine inputs & outputs.
2. **State differential equations**: Write $n$ simultaneous, first-order DEs of the states in terms of the states and inputs for an $n$th-order system.
3. **Initial conditions**: If we know the initial conditions of all the states at $t_0$ as well as the inputs for $t \geq t_0$, we can solve the simultaneous DEs for the states for $t \geq t_0$.
4. **Output-state relation equations**: Write linear relations of the outputs in terms of the states and inputs for $t \geq t_0$.
5. **State space (SS) representation**: The state and output equations represent a viable representation of the system.
Size of system states, inputs & outputs, [1, p. 122]
- **States**: Typically the minimum number of states required to describe a system equals the order of the system DE. We can define more states than the minimum set; however, within this minimal set the states must be *linearly independent* (defined later).
- **Inputs & outputs**: Single-input, single-output (SISO) systems are a unique case of general multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The output and input of a SISO system are represented by scalar quantities. The outputs and inputs of a MIMO system are represented by vector quantities.
Motivational example, [1, p. 120]
Example (RLC system in SS representation)
A quick example to introduce the terminology and concept before we generalize the definition of SS representation.
1. **System variables**
- States
- Current through the RLC loop, $i(t)$
- Capacitor charge, $q(t)$
- Input
- Voltage, $v(t)$
- Output
- Inductor voltage, $v_L(t)$
Motivational example, [1, p. 120]
Example (RLC system in SS representation)
2. State differential equations
- Kirchhoff’s voltage law
\[
L \frac{di(t)}{dt} + Ri(t) + \frac{1}{C} \int i(t) dt = v(t)
\]
- Charge definition
\[
i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt}
\]
- Two simultaneous, first-order DEs
\[
\frac{dq(t)}{dt} = i(t)
\]
\[
\frac{di(t)}{dt} = -\frac{1}{LC} q(t) - \frac{R}{L} i(t) + \frac{1}{L} v(t)
\]
Example (RLC system in SS representation)
3. Initial conditions
- Assume we know the initial conditions of the states at $t_0$ and the input for $t \geq t_0$
Figure: RLC system
Example (RLC system in SS representation)
4. Output-state relation equations
\[ v_L(t) = -\frac{1}{C}q(t) - Ri(t) + v(t) \]
Figure: RLC system
Example (RLC system in SS representation)
5. **SS representation**
\[
x = \begin{bmatrix} q(t) \\ i(t) \end{bmatrix}; \quad u = v(t)
\]
\[
\dot{x} = Ax + Bu
\]
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ -\frac{1}{LC} & -\frac{R}{L} \end{bmatrix}; \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ \frac{1}{L} \end{bmatrix}
\]
\[
y = Cx + Du
\]
\[
C = \begin{bmatrix} -\frac{1}{C} & -R \end{bmatrix}; \quad D = 1
\]
3 Modeling in the time domain
- 3.1 Introduction
- 3.2 Some observations
- 3.3 The general state space representation
- 3.4 Applying the state space representation
- 3.5 Converting a transfer function to state space
- 3.6 Converting from state space to a transfer function
Definitions, [1, p. 123]
- **Linear combination**: A linear combination of $n$ variables, $x_i$, for $i = 1$ to $n$, is given by the following sum, $S$
$$S = K_n x_n + K_{n-1} x_{n-1} + \ldots + K_1 x_1$$
where each $K_i$ is a constant.
- **Linear independence**: None of the variables can be written as a linear combination of the others. Variables $x_i$, for $i = 1$ to $n$, are said to be linearly independent if their linear combination, $S$, equals zero only if every $K_i = 0$ and no $x_i = 0$ for all $t > 0$.
Definitions, [1, p. 123]
- **System variable**: Any variable that responds to an input or initial condition in a system.
- **State**: The state variables are a *non-unique* set of linearly independent system variables such that the values of the members of the set at time $t_0$ along with known inputs completely determine the value of all system variables for all $t > t_0$.
- **State vector**: A vector whose elements are the states.
- **State space**: The $n$-dimensional space whose axes are the states. A trajectory can be thought of as being mapped out by the state vector, $x(t)$, for a range of $t$.
State equation: A set of $n$ simultaneous, first-order DEs that expresses the time derivatives of the $n$ states of a system as linear combinations of the states and inputs.
$$\dot{x} = Ax + Bu$$
$$x = \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ \vdots \\ x_n \end{bmatrix}; u = \begin{bmatrix} u_1 \\ \vdots \\ u_m \end{bmatrix}; A = \begin{bmatrix} a_{1,1} & \cdots & a_{1,n} \\ \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{n,1} & \cdots & a_{n,n} \end{bmatrix}; B = \begin{bmatrix} b_{1,1} & \cdots & b_{1,m} \\ \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ b_{n,1} & \cdots & b_{n,m} \end{bmatrix}$$
Output equation: An equation that expresses the measured output variables of a system as linear combinations of the states and inputs.
\[ y = Cx + Du \]
\[
y = \begin{bmatrix} y_1 \\ \vdots \\ y_p \end{bmatrix}; \quad C = \begin{bmatrix} c_{1,1} & \cdots & c_{1,n} \\ \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ c_{p,1} & \cdots & c_{p,n} \end{bmatrix}; \quad D = \begin{bmatrix} d_{1,1} & \cdots & d_{1,m} \\ \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ d_{p,1} & \cdots & d_{p,m} \end{bmatrix}
\]
Variables & their dimensions, [1, p. 123]
\[
\begin{align*}
\dot{x} \in \mathbb{R}^n & \quad \text{time derivative of state vector} \\
x \in \mathbb{R}^n & \quad \text{state vector} \\
u \in \mathbb{R}^m & \quad \text{control input vector} \\
y \in \mathbb{R}^p & \quad \text{measured output vector} \\
A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n} & \quad \text{system matrix} \\
B \in \mathbb{R}^{m} & \quad \text{input matrix} \\
C \in \mathbb{R}^{p \times n} & \quad \text{output matrix} \\
D \in \mathbb{R}^{p \times m} & \quad \text{feedforward matrix}
\end{align*}
\]

- 3.3 The general state space representation
- 3.4 Applying the state space representation
- 3.5 Converting a transfer function to state space
- 3.6 Converting from state space to a transfer function
State requirements
- The states must be linearly independent.
- A minimum number of states must be selected and must be sufficient to describe completely the state of the system. Typically the number required equals the sum of the orders of a set of DEs describing the system.
If
- too few states are selected or
- a minimum number of states are selected and are linearly dependent,
it may be impossible to completely express state and output equations as linear combinations of the states and inputs.
Selecting the states, [1, p. 124]
Notes concerning adding states to the minimal set of linear independent states
- **Linear independent states**: These additional linear independent states are also decoupled, i.e., they are not required in order to solve for any of the other linearly independent states or an

THE FUTURE OF CUSTOMER LOYALTY
BUILDING A NEXT-GENERATION REWARD PROGRAM
THE FUTURE OF CUSTOMER LOYALTY
In a world of new technology and high customer expectations, standard customer loyalty programs based on transactional rewards will soon be recognized for what they really are: undifferentiated, underutilized loss-makers.
Usually, retailers justify the cost of their loyalty program by the data it yields: data which can be used to inform business decisions, sold to vendors, and used to develop targeted campaigns. But on closer inspection, these additional benefits often do not materialize nor justify the investment in the program. Our analysis shows that a transaction-based loyalty program – where the customer is rewarded with a 1% return of the value of their spend – can cost a $10 billion retailer $30–60 million in reduced margin every year. Add to this the considerable cost of running the program, and these costs will likely never be recouped with the gains made by utilizing the program's data.
Even if your program isn't analogous to the one shown in Exhibit 1, we believe the best retail loyalty programs can be better, and indeed, need to improve quickly.
In the first half of this article, we articulate the case for change, and in the second half, we explain what retailers need to be thinking about when it comes to customer loyalty programs.
PART 1: THE CASE FOR CHANGE
1. New competitors are disrupting the market and challenging the status quo.
2. Customer expectations are changing, and today's customer wants a different experience from their loyalty program.
3. The right technology used in the right way can help meet customer needs in a new and innovative way.
PART 2: GETTING IT RIGHT IN THE REAL WORLD
1. Adopt a future-flexible approach to technology, with the retailer owning the overall loyalty ecosystem, but not necessarily every specific component within it.
2. Adopt a start-up mindset to enable long-term investment in the loyalty proposition.

PART 1: THE CASE FOR CHANGE
1. NEW COMPETITORS ARE DISRUPTING THE MARKET
Traditional retailers are feeling the pressure to find new ways to stay close to their customers in a world where disruptive new entrants are trying to own the customer relationships that retailers once took for granted. Retailers face an assault on their status as the owner of the customer. Be it online pure-play retail competitors, manufacturers selling direct to consumers, or payment providers and digital wallets, many businesses are now trying to develop direct customer relationships. If they do not respond, retailers will find that over time their customer loyalty decreases as other players join the party.
So, reinventing loyalty is not some passing trend; it is fundamental to continued survival and future success.

AWARDED POINTS GOING UNSPENT (%)
2. CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS ARE CHANGING
It's not just that customers want more rewards; they want a different kind of relationship with the businesses they choose to interact with. As such, loyalty programs are changing from transaction-based exchanges between a retailer and a customer to an ongoing relationship with the customer at the center (Exhibit 2). Our sister firm Lippincott, specializing in brand and design, examines these trends in depth in the report Welcome to the Human Era: The new model for building trusted connections, and what brands need to do about it.
Exhibit 2: Characteristics of loyalty programs, past and present
| | OLD WORLD REWARDS | NEW WORLD AFFINITY |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Formulaic deal | Relationship and belonging |
| Assessment | Transparent criteria, with no discretion | Role for serendipity and judgment |
| Time horizon | Present and future | Recognition of the past |
| Program language | Points, statements, terms and conditions | Symbols of belonging (without overstepping the mark) |
| Identification | Plastic card | Crosses all channels and platforms |
| Customer benefits | Economic | Broader |
| Feeling | Entitlement | Appreciation |
Many companies are starting to update how their loyalty programs provide shared benefits with customers. Some of the most important trends include:
*• Increasing use of exclusive promotions and a move away from points
*• Non-monetary rewards and symbols of belonging, such as free coffee at UK grocer Waitrose, or childcare and frozen yogurt at Ikea
*• Charity-based rewards and points, such as Kroger's community awards in the US, or Pets at Home animal charity program in the UK
*• Services to improve the shopping experience, such as Neiman Marcus' shopping app that incorporates shopping, blogging, events, and loyalty points management
*• Broader lifestyle applications, such as Walgreens' Steps program
In these examples, customers are happy to give the retailer access to their data, not because they are getting points in return, but because they are being rewarded or helped in other ways.
Once this virtuous cycle is started, it can be very powerful – customers are prepared to allow more detailed use of their data and more intimate analysis of their habits so long as they are getting useful products and services in return. For the retailer, this extension of brand permission and increase in the number of customer touch points will boost customer loyalty today, and can be monetized in the future (as it increases the range of commercial opportunities in the retailer–customer relationship). Interestingly, many traditional retailers are some of the most trusted brands in their home market, giving them more opportunity to drive this virtuous cycle than many other companies, such as financial services firms or internet giants.
3. THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE RIGHT WAY
Technological advances are rapidly changing the loyalty playing field. In the old world, customers would typically have a plastic card scanned on payment, then rewards would be received as coupons or offers through the mail and by email.
In recent years, smartphones and other new technologies have transformed this playing field. Customers are always connected and the online and physical worlds are being merged, with customers expecting seamless integration across channels.
Real time or time-limited offers are becoming much more common. For example, fashion shoe retailer Meat Pack in Guatemala has GPS embedded into its app and tracks when users enter competitors' stores. At certain times during its "Hijack" campaign, this triggered a promotional discount for Meat Pack, which started at 99% and decreased every second until the customer entered a Meat Pack store. The discount and subsequent purchase were then automatically shared on Facebook, sending the app viral.
There is much more two-way communication with customers. For example, social media is now a key channel for customers to complain, and they expect their issue to be resolved via the same channel. Additionally, customers are more in control of how they interact with loyalty services; they can choose to share Facebook data to access a discount or enter a competition.
Online services are being brought in-store. For example, there are apps to help customers navigate and find products, as well as smartphone technology to accelerate self-scan and payment.
Underpinning much of this technology are more sophisticated analytics on much bigger datasets. These, along with rapid iterative app developme

Summary of Interview:
Jesse Munoz was an El Paso priest from Our Lady of the Light Church. He was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in 1940 during the depression years. When he turned eleven him and his family moved to El Paso, Texas in hopes of a better life and education. At the age of fourteen he took a bus to New York and worked there for over a year. He then had enough money to go to Spain and pay for an education and many years later he came back to El Paso, Texas.
At the time Rev. Munoz came back to El Paso, everyone in the community was suffering from poverty due to the low wages they received from their jobs. Specially those working for Farah. Rev. Munoz mentioned that most people from Ciudad Juarez also came to El Paso looking for jobs, which they get with a Green Card and they then don't have to worry about taxes of anything that would concern a US citizen. In fact, most of the Farah workers are "mojados" that have a green card and don't belong to the Union, because their wage is actually good for the life they live in Mexico and by the time the Farah strike started they would even bother to join or help they fellow coworkers.
As Rev. Munoz mentions, the Farah strike was mostly about human dignity and respect for the worker. The wage issue was blown out of proportion, but it wasn't that; it was human dignity. Farah would mistreat their workers and out of nowhere would take away people jobs and leave the workers and their families in total poverty, basically they would be killed financially.
By the time the Farah strike began Rev. Munoz and other churches and priests started to join the strike because most of the Farah workers thoughts that if the priests where helping them, then it was actually all right for them to also help and walk out and fight for their rights. Rev. Munoz mentioned that his church helped in many ways, such as, with food, shelter, and legal advice. Rev. Munoz thinks that it was the church help that made the workers withstand the heat and win the battle with Farah. They also had helped from people all over the country who were rooting for them and who helped them raise more than 5 million dollars. At times it was not that easy, because in a second it could all become very violent and people would start to fight with one another, but Rev. Munoz always tried to keep the people very peaceful and over all keep the strike as smooth as possible.
By the end of the strike the church had been criticized for helping with the strike. Rev. Muñoz always thought it was the right thing to do to help his community and to make a change, which they actually achieved. As well as to enforce human dignity in the workplace and a decent wage to be able to provide for your family.

Teignmouth update
September 2024
Overview
This paper provides an update on work by NHS Devon to secure accommodation for Channel View Medical Practice in Teignmouth.
In July 2024, the NHS in Devon stood down plans for a new Health and Wellbeing Centre in Teignmouth – the cost of the building had more than doubled due to spiralling construction prices and increases in the cost of borrowing since estimated costs were published in 2020.
The July decisions by the Boards of NHS Devon and Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSD) were required to allow the NHS to fast-track work to support Channel View Medical Group, which was due to relocate from its two town centre bases into the new building. A solution is needed as the lease on one of Channel View's sites – in the Den Crescent – ends on 31 March 2025.
Background
A briefing setting out the position in relation to the standing down of the project was shared with the committee in July 2024 and is also appended to this paper, for reference.
Further information can also be found in the Board papers for NHS Devon Board meeting of 25 July and TSD's Board meeting of 31 July.
As commissioner of primary care, NHS Devon is supporting Channel View Medical Practice to resolve the estates issues faced. Although TSD was going to be the practice's landlord under the plans for the health and wellbeing centre, it is not envisaged that any similar arrangement would be part of future plans, and the decisions of the Boards in July effectively end TSD's involvement in this work.
Current work to address the property challenges
The Board of NHS Devon met in public and private sessions on 25 July 2024 to discuss the Teignmouth issues.
During the public session, Board members formally agreed that immediate action is required to provide support to the Channel View Medical Group to enable continuity
of primary care services in Teignmouth and noted that options in relation to this were to be presented to the Board meeting in private later that day.
The subsequent meeting was held in private due to the need to consider the financial implications – which are commercial in confidence – of the possible options for addressing the accommodation challenges facing Channel View.
At the meeting, the Board approved a series of recommendations regarding resources to support work to resolve the accommodation issues in the short and medium term.
Since then, NHS Devon primary care and estates colleagues have been working very closely with the partners and Channel View to secure both a short- and longerterm estates solution.
To ensure services remain in place, this work includes negotiations for the retention of existing estate, together with potential additional office space to enable the practice to operate as effectively as possible within those premises.
NHS Devon remains committed to seeking a one-site longer term solution for the practice and patients. Scoping is underway for what this could look like, and an update is expected this autumn.

\textbf{Abstract}
Groundwater is a major source of water in the western US. However, there are limited recharge estimates in this region due to the complexity of recharge processes and the challenge of direct observations. Land surface Models (LSMs) could be a valuable tool for estimating current recharge and projecting changes due to future climate change. In this study, simulations of three LSMs (Noah, Mosaic and VIC) obtained from the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) are used to estimate potential recharge in the western US. Modeled recharge was compared with published recharge estimates for several aquifers in the region. Annual recharge to precipitation ratios across the study basins varied from 0.01% to 15% for Mosaic, 3.2% to 42% for Noah and 6.7% to 31% for VIC simulating Mosaic consistently underestimates recharge in all basins. Noah simulates recharge reasonably well in wetter basins but overestimates it in drier basins. VIC slightly overestimates recharge in drier basins and slightly underestimates it for wetter basins. While the average annual recharge values vary among the models, the models were consistent in identifying high and low recharge areas in the region. Models agree in seasonality of recharge occurring dominantly during the spring across the region. Overall, our results highlight that LSMs have the potential to capture the spatial and temporal patterns as well as seasonality of recharge at large scales. Therefore, LSMs (specifically VIC and Noah) can be used as a tool for estimating future recharge in data limited regions.

\section*{1. Introduction}
Groundwater is a life-sustaining natural resource that supplies water to billions of people on earth (Gleeson et al., 2012). It plays a central part in irrigated agriculture and sustaining ecosystems (Giordano, 2008; Siebert et al., 2010), and enables human adaptation to climate variability and change (Taylor et al., 2013). Globally it accounts for 1/3rd of all fresh-water withdrawals for domestic (29%), agricultural (42%) and industrial purposes (27%) (Taylor et al., 2012; Taylor et al., 2013). In the United States (US), ground water is the source of drinking water for 50\% of the population and as much as 90\% of the population in rural areas, especially in the West (Anderson and Wooley, 2005). Reduced reliability of surface water supplies in the western US with projected increases in evaporative demand and uncertain changes in annual precipitation (Rasmussen et al., 2010, 2014) may increase groundwater use (Scanlon, 2005). Many areas of the region are already experiencing groundwater depletion caused by sustained groundwater pumping (Faint, 2009a, 2009b; Konikow, 2013; Castle et al., 2014).
Groundwater recharge is a flux of water into the saturated zone. Spatial variability of recharge rates is controlled by precipitation and other climate variables (Hogue and Melton, 2012; Hoosier et al., 2012; Scanlon et al., 2012), vegetation, soil, and geology (Stormstrom et al., 2007). Despite the importance of groundwater in this region, limited recharge estimates are available due to the complexity of recharge processes and the lack of feasible measurement methods (Scanlon et al., 2006). Thus, improving current recharge estimates and understanding spatial variability of recharge processes are essential for sustainably managing this precious resource (Scanlon et al., 2006; Famiglietti and Rodell, 2013) to meet human and ecosystem demands in the future (Scanlon et al., 2006).
Recharge estimation methods include water balance accounting, remote sensing, observational methods and environmental tracer analysis, and modeling (Scalan et al., 2006; Healy, 2010). In the western US, groundwater recharge generally occurs at depth, where direct observational methods cannot be applied. Several Land Surface Models (LSMs) (e.g. SAC-SMA (Burnash et al., 1973; Burnash, 1995; SSIB, Xue et al., 1991); Mosaic (Koster and Suarez, 1996); NSSIF (Koster et al., 2000); Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC; Li et al., 1994; Niu et al., 2011; Li et al., 2015; Niu et al., 2011; and CLM (Bonan et al., 2012, 2011)) have been developed over the last few decades to better represent land surface and atmospheric processes as well as improve estimates of various water, energy and carbon fluxes at the land surface. These models could be a valuable tool for estimating current and future recharge estimates due to projected climate change. However, to date, besides currently published recharge estimates (Li et al., 2015) in the eastern US using the VIC model, recharge estimates from these models have not been comprehensively assessed.
LSMs vary in representation of the exchange of energy, mass, momentum and CO$_2$ exchange between the land surface and the overlying atmosphere (Koster and Suarez, 1996; Liang et al., 1994; Bonan et al., 2011; Niu et al., 2011). It is therefore important to understand how differences in model structure affect the simulation of recharge and whether certain LSMs perform better under particular physiographic and climatic settings. In this paper, we compare recharge estimates from three LSMs over the western US with a specific emphasis on 10 aquifer systems where recharge estimates are most applicable.
The major questions addressed in this study are: 1. Are recharge estimates in the western US from various LSMs significantly different? 2. Do LSMs provide reasonable estimates of recharge in the western US? 3. Do the amount, seasonality, trend and spatial pattern of recharge vary based on the choice of LSMs? For addressing these questions, simulations of three LSMs (Mosaic, Noah, and VIC) obtained from the North American Land Data Assimilation System-phase 2 (NLDAS-2) were used for assessing recharge estimates across the western US. We used MODIS ET (Mu et al., 2011) and basinflow index (BFI) based recharge (Wolock, 2003a) for the whole western US for comparison and evaluation purpose. Simulated recharge from the LSMs was compared with published recharge estimates from 10 aquifers in the region (Northern Plains, Central High Plains, Southern High Plains, San Pedro, Death Valley, Salt Lake Valley, Central Valley, Columbia Plateau, Spokane Valley, and Williston, Fig. 1) synthesized by Meixner et al. (2015). These aquifers represent a broad sample of variability in climatological, geological, and hydrological characteristics along with anthropogenic pressures like groundwater pumping on the aquifers. Trends, amounts and patterns of recharge from the three models were compared statistically to determine their consistency. Statistical analyses (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Kendall Tau trend analysis test, spatial pattern correlation test) were conducted using R (version 220.127.116.11).

ACCREDITING BUREAU OF HEALTH EDUCATION SCHOOLS 7777 Leesburg Pike, Suite 314 N. · Falls Church, Virginia 22043 Tel. 703/917.9503 · Fax 703/917.4109 · E-Mail: [email protected]
GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING A MARKET SURVEY
The Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) provides these guidelines to assist its accredited institutions and programs in identifying program need. ABHES requires institutions applying for new campus approval, implementation of a new program or institutions/programs submitting a placement action plan to evidence community need. This includes the availability of externship sites as applicable and employment demand.
The following are minimum requirements to be addressed relative to market demands:
1. Survey of potential employers: Summary results from a brief survey used to address future hiring needs and trends to include desirable training characteristics, feedback on past graduate hires and any changes in the qualifications required for graduates to achieve successful employment outcomes (e.g., required or preferred credentialing).
Provide summary of survey results including time period and number of surveys.
2. Externship availability: Signed externship contract sites that include the number of students allowed at one time per site and dates. It is essential that the institution demonstrate enough available sites to support the expected enrollment for the first class.
ABHES requires that externships be available for all enrolled students as they are ready for the experience. ABHES standards further state, students should not wait for externships and back-up sites should be available to ensure that there is no significant break in the education process.
Provide signed contracts with externship sites.
3. Advisory board: Representatives from the local health care community specific to this program who have accepted appointment to the Advisory Board and others who have an interest in serving as back-up or future purposes. These individuals are active professionals in the field who can provide current information on such things as potential externship sites, upcoming employment needs, and salary expectations.
Provide list of representatives including name, organization, address, and telephone number.
4. Salaries: General surveys on projected salaries graduates might expect that includes potential employers and related professional organizations. This information is essential to demonstrate the relationship between tuition and graduate success.
5. Competition: Listing of other educational/training facilities, their programs and student population that are located within a 10-mile radius of the campus.
6. Summary: The most critical element of the Market Survey is that the program demonstrates that the summarized information evidences a compelling need for the new program. If there is local competition, demonstration of the ability for the community to support this program is essential. Assuming need, the institution has a documented plan based on the results of the Market Survey that was taken into consideration when determining such things as the program's future enrollment, the effectiveness of the curriculum, and necessary future changes to address the needs of the local health care community.

American recovery and reinvestment act
Investing in Minnesota
Putting Minnesota back to work: The CEA estimates that 60,000 jobs were created or saved by the Recovery Act in Minnesota through June, 2010. These jobs are supported by the more than $6.5 billion in Recovery Act funds which have been made available to Minnesota– and the more than $4.6 billion which has already been spent.
Developing and Advancing Minnesota's Growing Industries and Infrastructure
* Over $629.2 million has been obligated for 253 transportation projects. These projects are putting 715 people to work, and improving 1,195 miles of highway across the state.
* 2,406 Recovery Act-backed small business loans have been given to Minnesota small businesses, who are now investing $886 million into creating new jobs and buying new equipment they need to succeed.
-› Example: Crystal Kitchen Center- JoLynn Johnson of Princeton, Minnesota took advantage of SBA's loan products by accessing the American Recovery Capital (ARC) loan which helped her meet day to day operating costs. The ARC loan provides no interest, deferred repayment loans of up to $35,000 to provide a "bridge" for viable small businesses facing economic challenges. SBA's instant capital infusion allowed JoLynn to get back on track and maintain her longstanding reputation as one of Minnesota's finest custom cabinetry providers.
* America's energy future is cleaner, more efficient, and made at home, thanks in part to the 83 clean energy projects that have been funded with the $317 million clean energy investment that the Recovery Act made into Minnesota.
-› Example: The University of Minnesota and BioCee, Inc. in Saint Paul have been awarded $2.2 million under the Advanced Research Projects AgencyEnergy to develop an innovative transportation fuel using sunlight and Shewanella, a hydrocarbon producing bacteria.
-› Over 5,268 homes have already been weatherized, and ultimately 16,858 homes will be weatherized with Recovery Act investments.
* As many as 1,181,537 people and 981 community institutions, such as schools and hospitals, stand to benefit from broadband projects in Minnesota.
* The water infrastructure of Minnesota will see significant improvements as a result of the 72 rural water and waste disposal projects, and clean and drinking water projects being launched across the state by the Recovery Act.
Providing Relief to the Individual Residents of Minnesota
* Because of the Making Work Pay tax credit, 2.0 million Minnesota working families will collectively receive $1.1 billion in tax relief – dollars they can put to use immediately.
* Over 430,000 Minnesota residents have expanded unemployment benefits because of the Recovery Act.
* Approximately 68,000 people in Minnesota received COBRA benefits, due in part to Recovery Act investments.
* More than 853,744 Minnesota seniors and 30,462 veterans have received one-time economic relief payments of $250, totaling over $221.1 million.
* The Recovery Act is investing in Minnesota's future, helping students and their parents with education costs.
-› 22,062 low-income undergraduate students in Minnesota have received grants to help them further their education and provide opportunities they might not otherwise have. What's more, the average grant to students increased by 633.
Investing in Minnesota
More Investments to Support Minnesota
* Professors, students, and other researchers in Minnesota have received $115 million to fund 339 health research projects and explore treatments and cures to medical issues that affect millions of Americans.
* More than 5,852 education positions were reported as funded by the Recovery Act in the second quarter of 2010 in Minnesota – which has received more than $1.4 billion in funding from the Department of Education.
* The Recovery Act has already made over $1.6 billion available to help prevent Medicaid cuts in Minnesota. The state has spent over $1.5 billion of the available funds.
* Law enforcement agencies in Minnesota received over $11.6 million million in funding to support 53 police officers' salaries and benefits for three years.
Just One of Many Great Examples of How the Recovery Act is Investing in Minnesota's Future
The City of St. Paul received a TIGER grant for the construction of a transportation hub. The project will renovate the city's historic Union Depot and co-locate Amtrak, intercity bus carriers, local bus, light rail services, taxis, and bicycle accommodations. The depot could provide future capacity for high-speed rail and other planned inter-city and light rail services.

Porcupine Polygons
(Porcupine images are created when P is the largest number less than (or smallest number larger than) n*S/2)
A porcupine polygon is one you would not want to step on. The internal body is surrounded by needle like armor. Images such as these occur whenever P is as close as possible to S*n/2 without equaling that number. If P = S*n/2, a vertical line results. The two examples below show S = 29. When n is odd, the internal structure appears star-like (for n ≥ 5) and when n is even, the internal structure is more polygonal in nature.
Images such as these are fun to watch being drawn. The links below take you to the companion website. Click Toggle Drawing to watch this happen. Can you explain why the image rotates as it does … and why that rotation reverses if you increase P to 44 in the first or 59 in the second link?

We can't do this alone which is why we are calling on the community to join us on the journey to recovery by purchasing a ticket to the Gala, bidding on the online auction, or making a personal donation."

As one of the most influential events of the season, the AGH Gala marks a special moment in time where the community gathers in celebration of regional talent and rallies in support of the widespread work of the Gallery.

ISSUE 17, 2 September 2021
THAT 'BLAH' YOU FEEL – IT'S LANGUISHING
Languishing captures that 'blah' feeling so many of us are experiencing in the pandemic-response lockdowns. It is an emotional state characterised by a sense of stagnation, lacklustre, emptiness and disconnection. If we visualise mental health as a continuum, languishing sits towards the endpoint of mental illness, but it is not a clinical disorder. It is a term coined by American sociologist and psychologist Corey Keyes that seems so apt in the current environment and is sure to become as popular as pivot, and you are on mute!
ESFs recent Insight Conversation addressed the issue of languishing. Dr Paula Robinson, CEO and Founder of Applied Positive Psychology Learning Institute explained that it is a normal feeling in such extraordinary times but there are things we can do to help push us in the direction of mental fitness or 'flourishing', the opposite endpoint of the mental health continuum. Paula provided some practical tips on how to deal with languishing. Most important is a routine of physical movement, time outdoors, and connection with a support person professional or otherwise. She described how to deal with negative thoughts and focus on things within our control. She reminded us that bad times pass and that there are two things that determine mental fitness "how you think and what you do".
Cate Page Executive Director, Clinical Services of Converge International spoke about how languishing has been more evident in EAP clients through lockdowns with people presenting with numerous issues including anger. She explained how important it is to separate out the issues to identify the things you can control. She stressed that in workplaces there needs to be continued structured investment in people through check ins, especially for people working remotely, saying it does not need to come from the manager, but it is so important for everyone to have a safe space to talk through what is happening.
Suzanne Leckie, Organisational Wellbeing Manager at CFA said, volunteers "don't join CFA to go on Zoom, they join to give to the community and for social connection". CFA has instigated a range of strategies for volunteers and staff including introducing the concept of languishing and making it okay to say, "this is a struggle". Online meeting free days and encouraging authentic leadership, so vulnerability is shared at such a difficult time have been welcome and helpful initiatives.
You can listen to a recording of the Insight Conversation here
REACTIONS
I thought the conversation was a great resource for people who are struggling with their mental health during the perpetual lockdowns. The term 'languishing' captures so well the feeling we are all experiencing now, we can all adopt some of these skills to bring some much needed 'flourishing' in our lives.
Paul Fitzgerald Psychologist, VicSES
A marvellous session. Three great speakers - whose perspectives provided such wise and practical insight, advice, and hope.
Marie Crozier-Durham Department of Management Monash University
The ESF insight conversation provided understanding on how we can differentiate between depression and languishing about and what it looks like to be acting like you have a mental illness and actually having one. It is all about the stories we tell ourselves stories. Therefore, the paradigm shift to focus on telling ourselves stories about how functional we are and how we are actually doing well in our lives, therefore the more we do that the better at that we will become.
I really liked being able to drill down into how to create some of those healthier habits that give us the boost we need and as creatures of habit we need those routines and to put energy into building on these to get through these abnormal times. And as we have heard time and time again….
This too shall pass!" Gina Mammone Senior Manager, Peer and Pastoral Care Wellbeing and Support Services AV

My name is Alison Brown, and I am the CEO and Founder of NAVSYS Corporation, a small business located in Monument, Colorado. NAVSYS has been developing innovative positioning, navigation and timing solutions for the government and private sector since 1986. Much of our success has been from technology we developed with funding through the SBIR program. As an example, an early device we developed for use on Air Force radiosondes through an SBIR contract transitioned into the first emergency cell phone location system, deployed in Colorado in 1995. I am proud to say that this unit, LocaterNet, is now on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space museum and the LocaterNet system was instrumental in establishing the FCC mandated E-911 standards that are in place today which have resulted in the saving of countless lives.
Throughout my company’s history we have been able to bring innovations to the warfighter and field these solutions rapidly because of the Phase III contracting authority granted through the SBIR program. We are the only small business who has received the prestigious AFEI Excellence in Enterprise Integration Award which we received for our Talon NAMATH system, developed under a Phase III contract. Working with Air Force TENCAP and our industry partner Boeing, we fielded a networked solution to improve the precision of the SDB and JDAM guided weapons in less than a year, enhancing warfighter operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Only the SBIR contracting authority permitted this innovative new capability to be fielded this rapidly to meet an urgent warfighter operational need.
However, Talon NAMATH unfortunately highlights challenges that small businesses often face working within the defense acquisition system. Despite the success of the Talon NAMATH program, and the positive feedback received from operational warfighters and the MAJCOMs, the GPS Wing at SMC elected to give a sole source contract to their Lead System Integrator, Boeing, to replace the fielded Talon NAMATH system rather than working with NAVSYS to evolve the SBIR-developed and already fielded system. This decision was challenged by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a violation of their SBIR Policy Directive which states that “Agencies … that pursue R/R&D or production of technology...
developed under the SBIR/STTR program shall issue Phase III awards relating to the technology, including sole source awards, to the Awardee that developed the technology under an SBIR/STTR award, to the greatest extent practicable.” A GAO Report\(^1\), requested by Congress to investigate challenges in commercializing technologies in part due to concerns raised by the Talon NAMATH issue\(^2\), identified that multiple SBIR companies had experienced similar problems where DOD officials appeared to have shared proprietary information with prime contractors who then used the SBIR developed technology to compete against the SBIR awardee. Due to limited staffing at the SBA, they have been unable to respond to many complaints by multiple companies of similar policy violations of the Phase III preference requirement – leaving this important part of SBA legislation effectively unregulated within the Department of Defense. My example with the Talon NAMATH program is illustrative of a problem that many other firms have faced in transitioning their SBIR technology.
Everyone is aware of the need to get new technology to the warfighter. While Congress has enacted changes to the SBIR process, to date most of changes have not been put into the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFAR). I served on the Government-Industry panel of experts which was convened to prepare a report on Technical Data Rights for the office of the Secretary of Defense in response to NDAA 2016 Section 813. This report included recommendations regarding handling of SBIR data rights on Phase III awards, or work which derives from, extends, or completes efforts made under prior funding agreements under the SBIR program\(^3\). The panel discussed SBIR Phase III issues that arose when data rights were used as an evaluation factor or when issuance of a contract was made conditional on relinquishing data rights. Multiple small businesses provided examples to the panel of specific examples of where this had occurred, even though requiring relinquishing of SBIR data rights is a direct violation of the SBIR policy directive. The panel recommended that, as the intent of SBIR data rights is to reward small businesses for their innovation and invention by providing intellectual property protection, a revision should be made to 10 U.S.C. 2320 to clarify that an item or process developed under a contract or subcontract to which the SBIR regulations apply shall be treated as though developed at private expense during the protection period authorized in the SBIR regulations. This would afford SBIR similar protection within defense acquisition based on language that Congress has enacted language that clarifies how commercial items are to be handled.
On a number of occasions Congress has tried to improve the technology insertion process into Defense acquisitions. The blue ribbon panel of Government and Industry experts, convened to provide a report on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition Regulations in response to NDAA Section 809, recommended more than doubling the SBIR allocation, from 3.2% to 7%, and making the program permanent. The report stated that “DoD should invest more heavily in SBIR and RIF, as both effectively leverage small businesses to further DoD’s mission-related capabilities; however, both programs could benefit from greater speed and flexibility. DoD should factor SBIR technologies more explicitly into its acquisition strategies and plans. Greater speed, as well as the ability to disburse large awards under both programs, will help companies bridge the valley of death and successfully commercialize their products.”\(^4\)
The SBIR program was established with the purpose of strengthening the role of small, innovative firms in federally funded research and development. It remains today one of the few successful paths

TU urges caution as energy companies pursue pipeline project September 05, 2014
BY MARK TAYLOR
A recent sultry summer day found Philip Smith, TU's West Virginia Council chair, in one of his favorite places, a tiny trout stream deep in West Virginia's mountains.
Gingerly, with his homemade split bamboo rod, he cast a tiny stimulator fly to fishy-looking spots, hoping to tangle with a native brook trout.
Fishing Appalachian brook trout streams in the summer requires a careful, delicate, conscientious approach.
And that's also the kind of approach Trout Unlimited and its West Virginia and Virginia councils are insisting that energy companies take when it comes to the task of constructing a proposed natural gas pipeline that, if built, could cross dozens of Appalachian trout streams as it winds from West Virginia to southern North Carolina.
Dubbed the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the project would be a joint effort between Dominion Resources, Duke Energy and other partners. The 550-mile pipeline would originate in Harrison County, W. Va., and terminate in Robeson County, N.C., near the South Carolina border.
Smith specifically mentioned the Shavers Fork watershed as an area where the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, West Virginia University, Trout Unlimited and others have made incredible gains in helping improve what is becoming one of the top interconnected native brook trout watersheds in the state.
"And Trout Unlimited and the U.S. Forest Service have transformed the upper Greenbrier into one of the most effective stream restoration collaborations in the country," Smith noted. "The pipeline is projected to cut through these and other coldwater streams as it makes an indirect path toward North Carolina."
Native brook trout not only are a valuable recreational resource, but also are a critical indicator species that can help portend threats to the overall health of cold water resources.
According to a Status and Threats report from the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture, Virginia already has lost all brook trout populations in 38 percent of the species' historical range due to poor land management, outdated grazing practice, roads and other humanrelated impacts.
Of West Virginia's current brook trout-inhabited subwatersheds, only 1 percent remain fully intact while brookies are completely absent from nearly 60 percent of waters that theoretically should be able to support the species.
Trout Unlimited has made enormous investments in protection, restoration, and recovery of trout waters in both states, for example through projects focusing on the Potomac, Shenandoah and James river headwaters.
Yet the proposed pipeline's path — intersecting three national forests — would cut through some of the best remaining brook trout habitat in central Appalachia. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia features more than 600 miles of coldwater streams inhabited by native brook trout.
And the George Washington and Jefferson national forests alone feature more than 1,000 miles of trout streams.
While the proposed pipeline has generated some outright protests, if it moves forward, Trout Unlimited plans to work closely with federal and state agencies and the pipeline companies to ensure that the pipeline and its associated infrastructure do not negatively affect fragile mountain streams or reverse the progress that Trout Unlimited and our partners have made in restoring brookie habitat across these mountain ranges.
"The pipeline's proposed route cuts through three of the East's national forests and some of the most rugged and pristine habitat in the region," said Elizabeth Maclin, Trout Unlimited's Vice President for Eastern Conservation. "Our top priority is to ensure that these backcountry trout waters are not impacted by this pipeline development."
Mark Taylor is Trout Unlimited's Eastern Communications Director. This post originally appeared at www.tu.org.
