An accumulator's most common usage is to store energy from an external pressure source during idle time and to discharge the energy as necessary. In another words, it is used for the reduction of pump/motor size, as an auxiliary power source in emergency, as a hydraulic starter for an internal combustion engine, as an aid for pump delivery at the time of a high-speed activation of an actuator, etc.
Suddenly shutting off a high-pressure and high-flow pipeline generates large impact pressure. Furthermore, external mechanical shock to an actuator may cause fluid vibration, and thus damage to equipment. An accumulator mitigates these shocks.
Pulse pressure of a single, dual, or triple-piston pump with high pressure makes controlling a pressure reducing device difficult. An accumulator can remove pulse pressure, as well as the knocking phenomenon caused by very small feeds of a cylinder such as a machine tool.
The accumulator mitigates the pressure drop caused by a leak that may occur by keeping an actuator at a fixed position for a long time, or by clamping something.
The accumulator compensates for the pressure rise in a closed circuit exposed to direct sunlight or, on the contrary, pressure drop caused by liquid contraction in cold climates.
Because gas pressure in an accumulator serves as a so-called weight, vertical movement of a machine tool head or a television camera can be controlled by cylinder friction.
The accumulator serves as a spring for absorbing shock between the body and wheels of a vehicle. In addition, it can be utilized as a pneumatic spring for various reduction rolls. It has less fatigue and greater shock absorptivity than a spring.
This is a method to transmit or transfer pressure from one side of the barrier to the other without incorporation of a different fluid. In this method, the accumulator serves as a gas compressor or transfers corrosive fluid. In order to reduce the accumulator pressure change caused by charging or discharging fluids, the accumulator can also be operated with low differential pressure by increasing its gas chamber volume.
The accumulator can be used for supplying lubrication oil or as a portable oil lubricator.

“Long live Wallonix,” declared Libération, the French newspaper and standard-bearer for the left, showing its support for the Belgian region of Wallonia, after it stopped Europe from signing a massive trade deal with Canada.
Borrowing from the French cartoon Asterix, Libération depicted Wallonia as plucky Gaul holding out against Pax Canada. Three days after the Libération front page, and following further negotiations, Wallonia’s parliament voted in favour of the trade deal with Canada on Friday. Wallonia’s leader, Paul Magnette, declared that the region had won “a better treaty”.
There are still several more chapters in the stop-start drama over the European Union’s comprehensive economic and trade agreement (Ceta) with Canada. The lifting of the Walloon veto clears the way for 28 EU governments to sign the treaty, allowing it to come into force on a temporary basis.
But 38 national and regional assemblies will have the final say on whether the treaty becomes a permanent legal document. It is a story that is likely to have implications for EU trade policy, but also for post-Brexit Britain.
“This Ceta saga has illustrated an additional layer of complexity that the UK will have to deal with,” said Lourdes Catrain, a partner at law firm Hogan Lovells.
Wallonia withdrew its opposition to the treaty on Thursday, declaring it had secured important safeguards. “The standards that we have in Ceta will become the norms for all future international trade treaties,” Magnette told Belgian television. He declared that “TTIP is dead”, referring to a parallel trade deal the EU is negotiating with the US.
Not everyone shares his views. Belgium’s prime minister, Charles Michel, said “not a comma had changed” in the 1,598-page trade treaty with Canada.
After days of negotiations, Belgian representatives from the federal government and the country’s five regional parliaments agreed on a four-page text to interpret the treaty. A leaked draft shows what the Belgians agreed: for instance, the trade treaty would not change EU law, which restricts cultivation of most genetically modified crops.
Belgian authorities have pledged to monitor socio-economic and environmental impacts of Ceta. “There are no substantial changes,” said Guillaume van der Loo, a trade expert at the Centre for European Policy Studies, although he did single out one point. Belgium will ask the European court of justice to deliver a verdict on whether a new system of specially created investor courts proposed under Ceta is compatible with EU law.
The fact that senior EU diplomats approved the Belgian text in a hastily convened meeting on Thursday suggests that national governments do not see important changes to a treaty that was seven years in the making.
However, Kathleen van Brempt, a Belgian socialist MEP, argues that the important change is political not technical. “What we might call a small crisis in Belgium relates very much to the way the European Union works and the way we deal with these sort of treaties.” She is convinced that the EU will change how it does trade policy, leading to greater openness and transparency.
In some ways, Ceta was a typical EU story: a tortuous “will they won’t they” wrangle that ends with a feverish round of meetings and a legal document.
It was also a very Belgian story. Magnette and his socialist party are under pressure from the hard-left Maoist-leaning Workers’ party of Belgium that is making inroads into Wallonia, a region of above-average unemployment.
Magnette, supported by centre-right Christian Democrats, has genuine objections to Ceta, says Dave Sinardet, professor at the Free University of Brussels. But his tactics also helped to put Wallonia’s Parti Socialiste back on the map, “certainly among leftwing voters who have felt the PS was too pragmatic, too centrist and not a real leftwing party anymore”.
Meanwhile, according to one EU diplomat, EU leaders meeting at a summit last week expressed frustration that the Belgian prime minister, a liberal, could not do more to fix up a deal with the socialists in Wallonia.
If it had not been Wallonia, it could have been somewhere else. German judges and Austrian MPs have raised concerns about Ceta in recent months; Romania and Bulgaria threatened to veto the treaty to secure visa-free travel to Canada for their citizens. The Dutch government warned on Friday that it may have to veto a trade deal with Ukraine following a referendum that was seen as a vote against Europe, rather than the specifics of the bilateral treaty.
The drawn-out cliffhanger over Ceta and the Dutch problem over Ukraine have prompted recriminations about how the EU manages trade negotiations. Some say the commission blundered by allowing the member states a veto over trade agreements, instead of relying on the older method of a qualified-majority vote.
Brexit Britain is one answer, although probably not the country the commission has in mind, as it pursues trade deals with Japan and the US. The Conservative government wants to secure a trade agreement with the EU as soon as possible.
Liam Fox, the secretary of state for international trade, this week called on the EU to agree a trade deal before the UK leaves the bloc. That would mean negotiating a trade agreement in parallel with the separate article 50 divorce procedure to disentangle the UK from the EU institutions.
She advises the British government to engage with EU member states and regional parliaments if they want a trade deal.
Moreover, any trade deal with the UK would be closely watched by EU governments. During the Canadian negotiations, the commission had free rein to negotiate the fine points on protection of Roquefort cheese or competition for maritime services, with relatively little oversight from governments. Any Brexit trade deal will be political from day one. Each member state will fight for its own interests.

Pretty abrasion resistant.

Set a death date that determines the life of a task force. One month. Two months. No more than three months. Any group that meets longer than three months is fodder for the Committee to Eliminate Committees.
What committees/meetings are essential to organizational success?
How might leaders eliminate or abbreviate meetings?
Years ago, someone developed a “taxicab fare” program for meetings: enter the salaries for all attendees and press start. The idea was that you could see how much the meeting was costing as the total kept ticking up and up and up. From that, you could decide whether the meeting was adding value, including whether all of the attendees really had to be there. And it would also help focus the attendees on what needed to be accomplished. Nowadays, there are several versions, including some that calculate the cost of weekly meetings projected out to a year. Perhaps CTEC should require committees to use one of those before the committee is approved to start in the first place.
Thanks Jennifer. Love it. That’s sort of like the national debt calculator. However, you would hope a cost of meeting calculator would have more impact.
Board of Directors are as capable of taking Committees to higher levels as they can take Leadership to lower levels.
Most public firms have a Committee on Directors whose only job is to nominate their friends to these highly paid jobs. And the Directors are paid extra for each Committee Meeting to do something that all Directors can and should do to help their firm succeed!
Thanks Brad. Talk about incentive to waste time and create busy work!
Federal government, we love committees and if I suggested this we would have a committee to evaluate this. So no I wont share this one. I have started to change committees to task force, since committees need missions statements and org charts and objectives and and and… task forces don’t.
Thanks Walt. A committee to evaluate the committee to eliminate committees. That’s precious! 🙂 … so glad you stopped in today.
Dan, suggestion in addition to these great ideas… do the meeting with everyone standing up. I cut our team meeting time in half.
You need to credit Allan Sherman for the quote.
If you refer to “A camel is a horse designed by a committee,” I found so many references to it and so many suggestions on who said it that I figure it was part of modern language. If you have some verification, I’d be glad to give attribution.
Ask yourself why these committees exist: in many cases, you will find it’s because there IS a problem to address. There’s a committee because nobody in the organisation actually has a means of solving that problem (it’s too financially, politically or ethically sensitive), but that “something has to be done”. The committee piddles away time, money and effort providing a pretence of progress.
Thanks Mitch. Problem solving shouldn’t need a committee that doesn’t have an expiration date. Each problem that can’t be solved with existing practices and structures needs a unique set of individuals to solve it. These individuals should be experts in that particular area. If a problem takes more than three months to solve you probably need a new set of people working on it.

CARACAS – Venezuela’s interim President Juan Guaido pointed on Monday to the Armed Forces as the factor supporting “dictator” Nicolas Maduro, but added that a vast majority of “military families” are dissatisfied.
“It is the Armed Forces who support the dictator today (...), that important sector of the country, which has a role not only in stopping the usurpation, but also in the reconstruction of Venezuela,” Guaido said in an interview with EFE on Monday night.
This loyalty of the so-called Bolivarian National Armed Forces (BNAF) to the government would be the main obstacle to undoing what Guaido has called Maduro’s “usurpation” of the presidency, and would also be the obstacle to him assuming official interim presidency of the country.
“Maduro is unaware of the crisis (...) the deterioration of the quality of life, of public services, the risk of life we have in Venezuela,” he said.
“What do we lack today after 20 years of work, sacrifice, to build a majority? We lack the factor that ultimately sustains dictatorships, which is the Armed Forces,” he added.
“We are all desperate. We are all frustrated because of the hard moment in our country. But we must stay on the road. We have spoken very clearly and we are on a road of hope, of change that is getting closer,” he said.
He did not know who would be the next candidate for the presidency when the “free elections” are held.
“The best candidate will be the one that emerges from the union of all the factors, from the democratic alternative,” he said.
Maduro only wants to “maintain and protect his privileges,” he added.
That is why “nobody would be willing to do anything for Nicolas Maduro, to sacrifice himself or to die for someone who is not willing to even attend to them or to protect them,” he insisted.
He also said that Maduro does not know how to finance this alleged warlike scenario and this is one of the reasons why the presiding parliament has asked international financial organizations not to deliver the assets of Venezuela to the government.
“Why do we protect the assets of Venezuela? Precisely so that they do not use the resources of Venezuela in continuing to arm the population,” he added.
Meanwhile, Guaido said he is focused on getting humanitarian aid to the country, and that he has already procured 1,700,000 food rations for children in a state of malnutrition.

In October 2018, our Fotolanthropy 7 Yards team traveled to Rochester, Minnesota, to film at the renowned Mayo Clinic. There, we conducted interviews with three influential medical care team members who were a crucial part of Chris’ recovery. We greatly appreciate the Mayo Clinic’s support of this documentary and for their ongoing compassion for Chris. Because of the tremendous care he received there, we have a powerful story to tell!
The three interviews conducted at Mayo provide significant context of Chris’ medical diagnosis. We want our viewers to understand the reality of the injury Chris faced and to fully appreciate the medical expertise - coupled with Chris’ own determination and discipline - that put him on the recovery path. We also hope to advocate for those in the spinal cord injury community by raising awareness of these injuries and the incredible science that exists today to help individuals live fulfilling lives.
We began our interviews with physical therapist, Megan Gill, who was by Chris’ side during his months of rehab and therapy. Chris has said of her, “Megan was a true catalyst for my recovery. She was intense, intuitive, and progressive.” Megan was also present to witness the miracle of Chris wiggling his toe for the first time, a moment she discussed with us for the documentary.
Next we did a highly anticipated interview with Dr. Ronald Reeves, who has extensively researched spinal cord disorders, injuries and rehabilitation. He walked us through Chris’ x-rays, clearly explaining the complexities of the injury and discussed how extraordinary it was and is that Chris defied such medical odds.
The Mayo Clinic trip was powerful and insightful. We can’t wait to share these three interviews with you in 7 Yards.

Irene Rosenfeld joined Mondelez, previously known as Kraft Foods, as CEO in 2006.
Mondelez International CEO Irene Rosenfeld's total compensation in 2014 rose 50.3 percent to $21 million, with the vast majority of the increase, $5.1 million, tied to an increase in the value of her pension plan and other retirement benefits.
Rosenfeld, 61, also received a boost in her annual cash incentive, which more than doubled in 2014 to $3.6 million. Her base salary of $1.6 million rose slightly, up from $1.59 million in 2013, according to documents filed today with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission.
Brian Gladden, who joined Mondelez in October as chief financial officer, had total compensation of $6.1 million, a figure that included a $500,000 signing bonus. He had been CFO of computer maker Dell.
He replaced David Brearton, who moved to the new position of executive vice president of strategic initiatives. His total pay in 2014 jumped 45.1 percent to $5.4 million.
Executive pay at Mondelez rose despite a decline in the company's 2014 revenue, which fell 3 percent over the year to $34.2 billion. In addition, pinched by higher commodity prices and a stronger dollar, net income fell to 5.6 percent to $2.18 billion, or $1.29 per diluted share, from $2.31 billion, or $2.21 per share, in 2013.
Rosenfeld joined the company, then known as Kraft Foods, as CEO in 2006. She later led the company's split, remaining with Mondelez, a global snacking concern whose brands include Cadbury, Oreo and Wheat Thins.
Her 2014 compensation also included $152,072 for personal use of the company aircraft and a car allowance valued at $23,586.

Explain ways to embed functional skills in your specialist area.
Functional skills are skills we need to function in everyday life. ‘Functional skills are essential skills in English, mathematics and ICT that enable everyone to deal with the practical problems and challenges of life – at home, in education and at work. They are essential to all our lives. For example, they help us recognise good value deals when making purchases, in writing an effective application letter, or when using the internet to access local services or online banking. They are about using English, mathematics and ICT in everyday situations’.
My subject area is childcare and functional skills are important throughout childcare courses and will be developed throughout a course with the support of the tutor. It is now part of a tutor’s role to improve and support the development of Literacy, ICT and Numeracy.
As part of completing a childcare course learners will have to write assignments of a high standard. I would support learners to achieve this skill by initially providing opportunities to complete small written assignments with constructive feedback. I then would increase the size of the assignment required. I would also teach a session on writing effective assignments before giving the learners a big assignment to complete.

[AAA] Almost and a surprise. | there's no place like gnome.
[AAA] Almost and a surprise.
I just checked into a hotel in Beaver Creek in the Yukon Territory. Beaver Creek is a few miles short of the Alaska border which means only six and a half hours of driving tomorrow. I felt up to putting in a few extra hours on the road tonight [I’ll explain below.] before I checked into a hotel. Before I checked into my closet. Seriously. It’s the tiniest room you could ever fit two twin beds into – smaller than a dorm room. There is a bathroom for tiny people – everything seems to be in miniature. The hotel, in general, makes me feel far more comfortable than the sketchy dive I stayed in last night despite that it was built for leprechauns. Much more comfortable.
I set off extra early this morning [wanting to leave the sketchiness behind me] and did more mountain driving. It was rainy and cloudy and lent more fog to the mountains and lakes as I drove on. In my current tired state and the 55 hours of driving behind me, the rest of the day is running together. I can’t remember if I drove through any cute towns or saw anything out of the ordinary. [If I can’t remember, I’m guess not. Still no moose!] I do recall pulling into a rest area and refusing to go to the bathroom in the pit toilets that make the outhouse at our cabin seem like a throne. It was mostly overcast through the morning and early afternoon, leading me to yawn and grow sick of driving.
This was the first time in the last week that I’ve really felt tired of driving. In the days prior, the scenery was new and different and kept my attention. Today, the scenery seemed old hat. I’ll give this the fictional diagnosis of safari syndrome. I remember while on safari in Tanzania a few years ago we grew so excited at the sight of new animals from our land rover. But then, even though we were a part of this incredible experience in Africa, elephants almost grew to be … eh. No big deal. Elephants were everywhere. It was the new animals – the lions, the cheetahs, and the ostriches that we then got excited about. Elephants? Eh. Been there, done that.
It seemed I suddenly turned a corner and there were these huge, snow-capped mountains looming in front of me. I found energy, excitement, and wanted to drive closer to find a better angle for a picture. I found my new animal. I was going to stop in Haines Junction for the night, which rests at the feet of these mountains [the icerange – the highest mountains in canada] but found no vacancies. Driving along the mountains gave me the extra energy to travel another three hours [making it a 14.5 hour drive today] to Beaver Creek.
But then there weren’t only these mountains but then this lake which the road wound around. Too much beauty. Too many perfect pictures I couldn’t take for lack of a road shoulder. Too much.
There will be more photos, stories, and other surprises to come, my blog friends. But now I must make myself a pb&j for a very late dinner and settle into my closet. [I’m in the lobby right now to use the internet; once I go to my closet, I’m in the interweb darkness. Time to read, craft, or write – the other projects I brought along with me but haven’t touched.] I may find myself with more time in the next few days to update and educate you to the journeys and thoughts of this gnomepreacher. More time when I arrive at my brother’s and can see my Jetta [the dog] and not drive for half a day. Joy.

Alex Herrera earned the chance to play one last college game, the 2015 National Association of Basketball Coaches Reese’s Division II College All-Star Game.
Alex Herrera will get one more chance to represent the Fort Lewis College Skyhawks.
The 6-foot-10 senior center from Ignacio was selected to participate in the 2015 National Association of Basketball Coaches Reese’s Division II College All-Star Game. He will represent the West team when the game is played at 5 p.m. March 27 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.
“I’m definitely super excited about this. I’ve been waiting to hear if I made it, and it should be pretty fun,” Herrera said.
Herrera, who was a second-team All-American his junior season, will be among 20 of the best seniors in all of Division II basketball. He will look forward to showcasing his abilities on a national stage after his teams failed to advance out of the conference tournament and reach the NCAA Tournament during his final two seasons at FLC.
The game will be played a day between the Final Four and National Championship games. The team will be introduced at halftime of one of the Final Four games on Friday, and Herrera said he is looking forward to watching the games and partaking in the festivities.
“It’s going to be a real experience. I want to take it all in,” he said.
Two Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference players will be represented, as Metro State’s Mith McCarron also received a selection.
Despite Metro State’s elite reputation, McCarron is the Roadrunners’ first All-Star.
Making the game even more special is an RMAC coach, Regis’ Lonnie Porter, will be the West’s head coach. Porter retired at the end of the season after 38 years at Regis. Herrera said he is honored to represent the RMAC along with McCarron and Porter.
Herrera averaged a double-double with 23.7 points and 11.6 rebounds per game this season, leading the Skyhawks to a 20-win season. Along with his 22 double-doubles in 29 games, Herrera led Division II in blocked shots with 94 (3.2 per game). He set the school’s single-season scoring record with 687 points, free throws made with 224, free throws attempted with 333 and rebounds with 335.
The 2010 Ignacio High School graduate won 19 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards in his career, including 10 during his senior season. He was named the RMAC Defensive Player of the Week six times and the Player of the Week four times, sweeping both awards three separate times. He also won his third consecutive RMAC Defensive Player of the Year award and first-team all-conference selection.
Herrera also recently was named to the Daktronics All-South Central Region first team for the third year in a row.

LAKE ELSINORE – Brandon McCarthy felt like it was the first day of spring training Saturday night, and that was a good thing.
The 6-foot, 7-inch rehabbing Dodgers right-hander reported no problems in his first game action in almost 14 months, as he allowed one run in two innings for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in their 7-4 victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm on Saturday night at The Diamond.
McCarthy, 32, is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and though he’s pitched batting practice, bullpens and simulated games, Saturday marked his first appearance since exiting his start against the Padres on April 25, 2015.
McCarthy started and threw 20 pitches in two innings, 11 for strikes. After working a 1-2-3 first inning, he gave up a leadoff solo home run to Lake Elsinore designated hitter Franmil Reyes and a one-out walk to right fielder Luis Tejada before getting consecutive outs to end the inning. He threw 15 more pitches afterward in the bullpen.
McCarthy is the first of three high-profile rehab stints with the Quakes. Lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu is scheduled to appear Sunday , and outfielder Yasiel Puig’s rehab is set to begin Monday.
McCarthy said he didn’t know when his next appearance will be. It’s expected he’ll make four or five appearances before being ready to rejoin the big club, and it will also depend on where the major league club is in its schedule versus the minor league teams.
Staying healthy and the recovery of his elbow, of course, also plays a role.
Rancho Cucamonga’s Mike Ahmed, the brother of Arizona’s Nick Ahmed, homered twice in the victory.

How did they not call this the Sweet 16 (too obvious)? The Wolf Tooth Components 16T Cog is a great idea — it smoothes the transition between the 13T cog and the 19T cog on a standard cassette when you’ve installed a Wolf Tooth Giant Cog. It makes a lot of sense and your bike will shift much better, but Wolf Tooth’s product-naming team should probably re-evaluate their positions.
Maybe not a necessary tool but it definitely shrinks the tooth gap when installing your 1x10. Do you need it? Maybe not, but it does make a slight difference in shifting speed.
Not the magical cog I thought it would be.
I bought into the hype that this 16 toother was really going to make a difference when shifting, and honestly, I don't think it makes much of a difference at all. Normally, when I am up-shifting, I'll push through 2-4 gears at a time. In fact, my shifts between the 13-19t cogs never really experience any "hanging," and nothing seems to take longer than it should; pretty much flawless to say the least. Anyhow, like I said, I kinda got sucked into the hype after reading reviews about this cog; however, shifting pretty much feels exactly the same when using the standard 15t my cassette came with.
Maybe you can tell the difference, but I surely can't.

Just installed 7.x-1.0-beta1 to Drupal 7rc1.
I (and my team) wrote most of that module and -- as Jeremy says, it's only needed for extreme scalability. Because of that, it's supposed you know what you are doing (otherwise you will have no chance of scaling to the levels where MongoDB is necessary) and so no UI is provided, just use $conf overrides.
There's a DBTNG driver too but it's more in a proof-of-concept stage so it's in a separate project.
This is not a module that you should use unless you have a need to. It can support mongoDB in a number of cases, but doesn’t look like it will totally replace mysql.
Generally you should be looking to use something like mongoDB if you are starting to have scalability problems.
Is there a secure mongodb wrapper?
Does using MongoDB for field storage limit functionality?

Why not send your special little one into "orbit" with our fun tote bag? It's colorful and can be personalized with your child's name or fun phrase. This tote could be used for trips to the library, grandma's house, or to store his or her favorite toys in!
Decide where you would like to place each element on the bag. We used a random design.
Apply paint to overlay one of the chosen element, for example, the rocket.
Repeat with each additional overlay until you have finished the rocket.
Apply your custom lettering if applicable.
After the paint is completely dry, flip the bag over and stencil the other side.
Make sure to place a piece of thick paper or poster board inside the bag to prevent paint bleeding through. Stencil cremes tend to take a little longer to dry than acrylics. Make sure each overlay applied is fully dry to the touch before proceeding.

Trump Says Qatar Funds Terror. Here’s His Record Of Trying To Get It To Fund Him.
The president is allying himself with those blockading the tiny country, but he’s made attempts to secure Qatari investments in the past.
Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani meets with U.S. President Donald Trump in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 21, 2017.
Donald Trump, his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner all repeatedly sought financing for various investments in recent years from leading figures in Qatar, according to sources with direct knowledge of the meetings.
Those previously unreported overtures have taken on new relevance as a diplomatic crisis aggravated by President Trump has left the small Gulf nation blockaded and isolated by its rivals, with tensions in the Middle East reaching historic highs.
That partnership is not merely rhetorical. Qatar is home to Al-Udeid air base, the regional Central Command headquarters from which American bombers depart on daily missions against ISIS and al Qaeda. Reacting to the GCC dispute, the Defense Department praised Qatar’s commitment to fighting ISIS as its secretary, James Mattis, expressed his confidence that the turmoil would not interrupt Qatar’s contribution to those efforts.
Given the weave of interests and close cooperation between the U.S. and Qatar, many are seeking ways to interpret Trump’s abrupt turn against Qatar in the dispute. Some think the answer lies not in the realm of policy but in the history of Trump’s business deals with the various actors in the dispute.
Saudi Arabia — and I get along great with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.
Therein lies the source of much consternation among Qataris. Several people interviewed for this piece expressed concern that Trump’s bias against their country might stem from a series of failed business overtures that he (along with his son-in-law Jared Kushner) made seven years ago, which are only now being reported. They did not go as swimmingly as the deals made with the Saudis and Emiratis.
Traveling with his daughter Ivanka, Trump visited Doha in 2010 for separate meetings with Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) executive board member Dr. Hussain Al-Abdullah and as well as Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani (commonly abbreviated as “HBJ”), who was then serving as foreign minister and prime minister. Neither responded to requests for comment on this article.
At the time, the pair constituted the brain trust of Qatar’s financial and investment sector. QIA is the world’s second largest sovereign wealth fund (presently estimated at having $338 billion in assets under management). Then as now, Sheikh HBJ had renown for being kingmaker of not just political deals but financial ones too. Using his business and political savvy, he has sealed deals ranging from Britain’s Harrods to Germany’s Deutsch Bank to America’s Miramax Hollywood studios.
A source close to the 2010 talks with Trump say he made the Doha stopover (along with stops in Dubai and Abu Dhabi) to raise money for a distressed real estate fund he was assembling. Trump opened the discussion with QIA by bragging about the success of Trump International and the many deals he had personally put together. Trump had hardly got through his own biography when Dr. Al-Abdullah, QIA’s senior executive, interrupted to say words to the effect of: We know who you are and what you have done. Tell us what you can do for us right now.
That single, curt interruption apparently left Trump stunned. He had expected his hosts to be impressed, if not grateful, that a person of Trump’s stature would visit the Qatari capital. Apparently distracted by the lack of decorum, Trump barely continued with his pitch. The meeting abruptly ended, according to one account, with Trump exiting the room visibly angered.
According to another, the meeting ended pleasantly and the decision not to invest in Trump was simply about Trump’s lack of track record in doing real estate funds. The same source also said any coldness to Trump was more a function of Dr. Al-Abdullah’s becoming numb to the same repetitive proposals—QIA routinely received such pitches. In the Qataris view, if not Trump’s, all that distinguished his proposal from so many others was his own celebrity status.
A subsequent meeting that day between Trump and Sheikh HBJ ended with pleasantries but with the top Qatari businessman keeping hold of his wallet. Trump was unable to move any Qatari funds to the Trump Organization, and within months after leaving, observers noted that even Trump himself quit the distressed real estate fund idea, having failed to get a single backer anywhere.
The Trump family interactions with Qatar expanded as Ivanka Trump returned to Doha within several months with her husband Jared Kushner, a wealthy real estate and media investor in his own right. Jared had a new pitch to make, this time on a different real estate deal.
Ironically, some of Jared’s introductions within Qatar were facilitated by a national of the country that is a key player in the present crisis: Saudi Arabia. Through a personal friendship with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan’s son Khalid, (who knew Jared and who remained in the U.S. after his father’s legendary tenure as ambassador ended in 2005) Jared gained entry to a younger cadre of successful Qatari businessmen during his trip.
The Kushner Companies bought the building in January 2007, closing the deal on Jared Kushner’s birthday and paying the highest price ever for a New York office building. “This is a great acquisition for our company,” Jared Kushner said at the time. According to the Kushners, they put $500 million into the purchase.
The luxury high-rise has been plagued by massive debt ever since—insiders say the Kushner family overpaid—which offers one explanation for why they have turned to foreign sources to help bail it out. Discussions to buy a stake in 666 Fifth Avenue between Jared and Sheikh HBJ—who left government in 2013 to pursue his own vast business interests—are said by a source with knowledge of the talks to have continued right up until the election of 2016.
But the hunt for capital continued after Jared ended his pursuit of Qatari investors last year. In March 2017, Bloomberg reported that Kushner Companies was close to securing “unusually favorable terms” in talks with the Angbang Insurance Company, despite its ties to the “highest echelons of China’s Communist Party.” On the same day, Trump attacked Qatar as a financier of terrorism, lawyers from his Justice Department offered an advisory opinion arguing that as president he could accept payments from foreign governments after all, which would presumably include countries like Qatar and China.
Today, with Trump allying himself and the United States with those blockading their tiny country, Qataris can’t help but wonder: is this all about Trump’s hurt feelings over business deals that didn’t pan out?
For years America preached that the Arab countries should fight corruption and have financial transparency. Yet neither the American public much less most foreign countries dealing with Trump have any true understanding about the nature and volume of Trump family investments abroad whether in Saudi Arabia the UAE or elsewhere.
For example, journalistic exposure of Jared’s family history of investing in illegal West Bank settlements provide Palestinians and the international community insights to his obvious personal conflicts, even if in Trump’s eyes that still makes him a suitable mediator of the Arab-Israeli conflict. So too with Qatar, it is necessary for Trump and his family to declare all their Mideast interests and holdings. This will enable others to form a view as to whether Trump’s recent weighing in on the side of Saudi Arabia and the UAE is a genuine attempt to perform the statesman role, or merely payback for business deals that never happened.
Many Qataris suspect that they know the answer and are distressed by it. Could anyone have imagined that five or ten years ago, when businessmen turned down a New York mogul and reality TV host auditioning for its investment, that they were jeopardizing the security of their country? Not to mention America’s security interests in the Middle East.

text: Abstract : As a new generation of automated warehousing systems, 3D compact storage systems have been increasingly installed worldwide for handling inventory items in warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing factories. Due to the problem complexity and system novelty, research investigating these systems, design models in particular, lags behind. This study, thus, addresses the design of 3D compact storage systems, where the I/O port is located at the lower mid-point of the storage rack, in attempting to assist practitioners in designing such systems that can achieve optimal performance while meeting system capacity requirements. In view of its importance in system design, we first derive the system expected travel time and subsequently optimise the three dimensions of the storage rack. We consider all the possible configurations of the three rack dimensions and develop closed form expressions for travel time derivation and rack dimension optimisation. We compare the result with an available design model, where the I/O port is located in the lower left-corner of the storage rack. The comparison shows that our model produces shorter system expected travel time, thus higher system throughput. We also elaborate several numerical examples to demonstrate how our model can be applied to design 3D compact storage systems in practice. Based on the numerical examples, we further provide several managerial implications, which are useful for practitioners to make suitable design decisions.

Smart homes are getting even smarter, with Internet of Things (IoT) devices rapidly coming to market to make homes more efficient and daily life more convenient. But any internet connection comes with risk attached, and IoT in homes could increase your vulnerability, warns Fortinet.
IoT takes smart home technology a step further into the future, adding smart sensors and independent internet connections to appliances and devices to take the task of controlling them out of the hands of their owners. For example, where smart fridges or air conditioners might need to be controlled using a mobile app, an IoT-enabled appliance might control itself without needing the homeowner’s input. IoT-enabled appliances measure temperature or available light, for example, to automatically trigger an action in an appliance. By using IoT sensors and connected SIMs, manufacturers are now producing heaters and air conditioners that switch on and off to maintain a constant room temperature, lights that switch themselves on when a room is dark, planters that automatically water plants when needed, or door locks that recognise the home owner and unlock without them needing keys.
“IoT-enabled appliances will certainly start arriving in the homes of African countries soon,” says Doros Hadjizenonos, regional sales director at security specialist Fortinet. “People are already moving to smart homes and embracing devices such as smart TVs and media servers. While these devices make life simpler and easier, the challenge is that not all manufacturers make security their top priority when building smart devices,” he says.
Globally, smart devices such as baby monitors and even smart vacuum cleaners have been hacked in the past, and Hadjizenonos says there is little prevent criminals from stealing passwords, monitoring the movements of homeowners, or tracking their children in future.
Fortinet’s FortiGate unified threat management solutions include routers and network security appliances suitable for home and small business use, protecting against external attacks and data theft with a simple, affordable solution that is easily managed via a single console.

Choose compatible flowering plants to grow beneath oak trees.
Oak trees (Quercus) are hardy trees found in many parts of the United States. They are capable of growing over 100 feet in height. Oaks are suitable for use in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 10. Species such as the red and white oak, for example, are featured in some landscapes. Incorporating flowering plants beneath oak trees requires planning so both the tree and flowers remain healthy.
Select flowering plants that are shade loving to plant beneath oak trees. Consider California mountain lilacs (Ceanothus), hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea) or alum root (Heuchera maxima) as examples of shade-loving flowering plants. Choose plants that will not grow to a height that will interfere with the lower branches of the oak tree.
Select a location for planting under the oak tree that is near the drip line or at least 10 feet from the trunk of the tree. The drip line is the circumference around the tree that is equal to the distance from the trunk out to the tips of the branches.
Dig a hole that is the same depth and twice the size of the flowering plant's root ball. Place the removed dirt on a tarp or in a wheelbarrow to save for replacing. Keep in mind that oak tree roots typically grow between 10 and 12 inches deep below the surface.
Place the root ball of the plant in the hole. Fill the hole around the root ball with the dirt that was removed earlier and tamp lightly to remove air pockets.
Add a layer of mulch around the plants to help hold moisture, but do not allow the mulch to contact the stem of the new plant. The soil beneath an oak tree can be dry, as the tree requires large amounts of moisture for survival. Water the plants as necessary to keep the soil moist, and supplement rainfall when needed.
Try to avoid selecting plants with root balls that will require holes deeper than 10 inches. Otherwise, try to limit the number of larger plants so that there is less chance of disturbing the oak tree roots.
Choose fertilizer carefully and apply only when needed. Select a balanced fertilizer that is close to 3-1-2 if necessary. Healthy oaks do not typically require fertilization, and fertilizer can be detrimental to unhealthy oaks.

The HCMC government is seeking to quickly diversify its tourism products with an aim to hold monthly events for tourists.
Tran Vinh Tuyen, vice chairman of HCMC People’s Committee, said the city continues to organize events such as Nguyen Hue Flower Street and Ao Dai Festival as yearly events.
New events like fashion festival in September, light festival in November, marathon and sales promotion events will be also introduced in a new form.
More festivals will be created so that each month there will be at lest one event hosted in the city.
The fashion festival held on the entire Nguyen Hue pedestrian street will promote Vietnam’s fashion products, allowing tourists to admire models on stage and buy products straight there.
Similarly, with shopping festivals, the city will connect travel and airlines firms to build up promotions and shopping tours.
“HCMC will build monthly tourism products at the international level,” Tuyen said at a tourism conference last week.
Head of the HCMC Party Committee, Dinh La Thang, agreed with the leaders of HCMC People’s Committee about the monthly product development and suggested to continue building up fireworks festivals to serve tourists.
Also at the conference, HCMC also faced criticisms on its weakness for neither having a tourism development strategy, nor a master plan to speed up the non-smoke industry.
“Due to the absence of a master tourism plan, other strategies such as water-based tourism are not available. We do not have any planning on tourism resources. This is the city’s weakness and we will quickly fix it,” Tuyen said.
Tuyen said the city will quickly and carry out quality tourism planning, and may hire foreign consultants for the job if necessary.
HCMC authorities also requests museums in the city not to close during lunch break after receiving feedbacks about inconveniences that lunch break causes to tourists.

I’ve always loved telling stories. Stories are at the heart of marketing, at the heart of influence, and at the heart of how we connect to other human beings.
A great speaker tells stories in a powerful way to connect with, and move, the audience.
To find out about how I can help move your organisation through speaking give me a call.
Marketing Ethics – how the definition of great marketing needs to move from sales to positive impact on customers’ lives and the world at large. The western world is shaped by three powerful messengers: media, marketing and our social influences. When we can nudge marketing to do better, the world will change for the better, fast.
Diversity Marketing – how as marketers we can ensure a representative view of 21st century society is depicted in marketing campaigns, and how appealing to more real-world diversity will empower the collective minorities who make up the majority of our world.
Confidence – the majority of limiting beliefs which hinder us stem from anxiety, self-doubt and low self-worth. An engaging, humorous, and authentic take on how to flip that pesky inner voice to one of confident self-expression is the focus of this keynote.
