Delta InfraSuite is a new generation, highly integrated modular datacenter solution. It uses racks as the datacenter carrier and fully integrates all sub-systems including UPSs, cooling, power distribution, lightning protection, fire control (optional), wiring, airflow management, intelligent monitoring, and more. Delta’s modular datacenter solution offers a datacenter environment that provides safe equipment operations within the racks, and supports the development and standardizing of micro datacenters that fit into racks. In addition, Delta InfraSuite takes up very little space, allowing quick deployment within a limited space, and it provides 10 types of solutions that require 20kVA power supply capabilities.
Delta InfraSuite can be applied in micro datacenters under 50 square meters or with an IT load under 20kVA. It is suitable for regional or small business environment IT applications.
Satisfies the three national standard GB50174 A, B and C availability levels and provides N, N+1 or 2N configurations according to customer needs. It satisfies the highest Class-A level.
The mechanical structure enables the cooling system whenever messages such as over-temperature are detected. It provides a highly reliable power supply system and does not require a UPS or take up UPS resources.
The distributed control system is used for air-conditioning, UPS, environment and smart rack (temperature and humidity, lighting, PDU, door sensor, and more). The normal display and uploading of other equipment messages is not affected even if one of the controllers malfunctions.
A hot or cold aisle containment system effectively isolates the mixing of cold and hot air. In rack cooling with horizontal air flow is used to reduce hot spots in datacenters. The UPS has high AC-AC efficiency up to 94% or more even at half load.
The in-rack cooling system uses a backward centrifugal fan and the dash of the centrifugal fan is inside the cold aisle. The horizontal air flow is used to reduce resistance and shorten the distance of the cold aisle. A depth of 1200mm is perfectly integrated with the datacenter floor layout and saves foot space.
Suitable for mid/small datacenter applications such as government, education, finance or SMBs. Offers flexibility, has short construction periods, and can be expanded at any time without the need for excessive investment.
Adjust the availability level of the system at any stage, including design, installation or operations. The power supply system and cooling system do not need redesign.
Signals for the temperature and humidity of the datacenter, smoke detection, datacenter access, datacenter IP camera, and others can be connected to the standard management system. The system is plug-and-play with no need for redevelopment.
While an SMS alarm requires additional charges, the use of the Whatsapp alarm not only cuts down cost, but is also more suited to current trends. Mobile APPs allow the maintenance and management staff to find out system operation information at any time and place.
Prevents non-professional staff from misusing equipment such as UPS or cooling and causing system crashes. Access systems are equipped on the front and rear doors of the system cabinet and only authorized personnel can enter the password on the touchscreen to open the doors. The doors can be opened manually with keys if the access system malfunctions.
* Above configurations as an example.

As the most gluttonous month of the year arrives, we are reminded that celebrating a British Christmas is less about worshipping Jesus and more about (self) serving at the altar of food. From 1 December, it is pretty much a solid month of eschewing plates of crispy, vamped-up vegetables at office parties and sinking your teeth into indistinguishable party-platter pastries.
Christmas is getting tempted by towers of teeth-clampingly sweet treats, displayed everywhere from your own bedside cabinet to the doctor’s surgery. Food is Christmas. Christmas is food. And with every nostalgia-coated mouthful comes a gravy boat full of memories deep enough to drown in.
For me, the taste of Christmas has always been very sweet and very crumbly. What can I say? I love pastry. My granny’s apple pie is nothing short of ambrosial and my dad’s shortbread biscuits were simply the best. My granny passed her love of cooking on to my dad, who was also a chef, and he passed it on to me. The first memory I have of baking is me, aged five or so, propped up on a chair, cutting shortbread rounds from a slab of squidgy pastry, tucked underneath Dad’s elbow in our kitchen in December. Now I can’t walk past a tartan-topped gift box without scoffing the lot.
Food is a comforting tool of nostalgia, which is why we love to overindulge at Christmas with all the things that we find tastiest. It is part of celebrating, and it also reminds us of good times with people we love. After all, counting Christmases is a way to catalogue time; marking the year’s end by feasting, indulging and drinking to excess, until we are practically sick, is a tried and tested tradition. Come December, we dutifully prepare to waddle into another year; bloated, unrestrained by buckle or belt but, ultimately, at peace.
This year will be the third Christmas I have spent without my dad and the third time I have felt disconnected from the Christmas traditions he built with my mum and brother, in the kitchen and beyond. On Christmas morning, it used to be the crispiest roast potato competition, with my brother and I fighting to pick the best one. After the prawn cocktail starter, Dad’s soft, herby stuffing was the highlight of dinner and later, bellies bursting, we would rack up the cheeses. Mum’s portions were always dainty and she would roll her eyes in mock disapproval as Dad created a comical, towering blue cheese-to-cracker ratio, which often looked as if it would break before it reached his mouth.
Christmas was split between our family home and Dad’s parents in Shropshire, who also know how to do a proper spread. But last year, for the first time, I took myself to sunny climes when Mum and I weren’t really speaking. The aim, of course, was to go somewhere so un-Christmas-like that I would forget the fact that baby Jesus was ever born. I surrounded myself with sunshine and pina coladas instead of cranberry sauce and crackers, and it kind of worked. I got blind drunk alone in a hostel and ate a most unsatisfactory Christmas dinner of chicken, rice and beans, which really didn’t hit the spot. Christmas is about what you feel in your heart, of course, but also in your stomach.
This year, my mum and my brother and I are going to Rome – something Dad would not really have been up for, seeing as he was a traditionalist and a homebird at heart.
I am not sure how it is going to play out (I have read that Italians eat eel on the big day), or whether we are all going to feel Dad’s absence more acutely abroad, but something tells me it might be easier.
I am saddened but relieved at the prospect of distracting myself from all the things we used to enjoy together when Dad was here; I miss his voice booming “It’s Christmaaas!”, down the hallway on 1 December, as he forced us all to help him drag the old plastic tree down from the attic to the soundtracks of the Pogues and Noddy Holder. But removing ourselves from the Christmas backdrop that we once knew as normal may help us to lay the groundwork for new rituals.

We've been waiting all weekend to be able to tell you about two new authors at the agency - A warm and official Welcome to Åsa Nyvall and Helene Arkhem who together has written The Languages Of Love - a book to teach us how to communicate Love. The world needs more Love and we need to know how to use it in the right way to be able to give and receive love.
Erika Edman and Good Eye Production have acquired the rights to the highly acclaimed book series that includes the titles: Fog Island, Return to Fog Island and Children of Fog Island. The books, which are inspired by Mariette Lindstein’s own experiences as a member of a cult, have sold a quarter of a million copies and are published in eleven countries including the UK and Germany.
Erika Edman is the producer of seven seasons of the internationally successful crime series Maria Wern, and in this project, she is collaborating with BAFTA award-winning British producer Mia Jupp.
“There is a universal fascination for the dynamics of cults. As a complement to the well-established Scandi Noir genre, we want to create a mesmerizing thriller series that offers a new arena where the focus is on the intricate mechanisms of the human psyche, the consequences of hierarchies and group pressure, and the effects on people living under the spell of a powerful, charismatic leader. We love the complex main characters Sofia Bauman and Franz Oswald, and the tremendous success of Mariette´s books worldwide gives our project a great international platform”, say Erika Edman and Mia Jupp.
Mariette Lindstein’s books have been sold to the UK, Germany, Canada, Norway, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Scotland.
Production is estimated to begin 2020.

Republican congressman Jeff Denham and Democratic challenger Josh Harder are locked into a multimillion-dollar fight that could determine which party controls Congress. They're attacking each other in ads, but are their arguments legit? We've got a fact check.
When voters look for a fact check of a political ad, they tend to want the answer to one basic question: “Is it legit?” In other words—does the line in the ad ring true? Is it fair? Is it real?
That’s what ABC10 is about to answer for you in the fight between two men that could determine party control of Congress.
Republican congressman Jeff Denham represents California’s Central Valley around Modesto. He’s locked in a close fight with Democratic challenger Josh Harder.
It’s a $6 million race and counting, which means the ads are hard to ignore.
Let’s get right to some of the claims that both sides are making in their ads, starting with Harder tooting his own horn.
WHO SAID IT: Josh Harder, on camera, in his own ad.
IS IT LEGIT? No. This is a bit of misdirection.
Sure, Josh Harder isn’t taking corporate PAC money directly—yet plenty of money is flowing to his campaign from big companies.
That one turns out to be a good example, because financial records show PAC to the Future took money from more than 50 big companies, including Amazon, MasterCard, Delta Airlines, and even the supplements company Herbalife.
The money collected by PAC to the Future was then given to another group that helps Democrats running for Congress and to several candidate campaigns, including Harder’s. He got $5,000 from this fund.
It’s true that Harder’s not taking corporate PAC money directly on his campaign balance sheet, but he is taking PAC money that comes from corporations. That’s certainly not the impression his ad gives to voters.
WHO SAID IT: House Majority PAC, in a pro-Harder ad.
IS IT LEGIT? Yes. This is a fair line of attack against Denham.
Last year, Republicans in Congress tried to partially repeal Obamacare. The bill failed, but Jeff Denham did vote in favor of it.
The version of the bill they’re talking about wouldn’t have let insurers turn people away for pre-existing conditions, but it did contain a way for insurance companies to charge you more if you have a pre-existing condition.
On tape, Denham said the ACA protections for pre-existing conditions were a must. It wasn’t the only time he took that position. He also signaled that he was against the bill at one point in the month before his vote.
And yet, the bill he voted for wouldn’t have left the ACA protections for preexisting conditions intact.
IS IT LEGIT? Partly. If it matters to you, Harder grew up in the Central Valley, but spent years of his career in the Bay Area.
WHO SAID IT? Jeff Denham, in a campaign ad.
IS IT LEGIT? Yes. Josh Harder’s campaign has been trying to put the proverbial toothpaste back into the tube on this one, but there’s a problem. Namely, that Harder actually gave that answer to a voter.
In fact, the Harder campaign doesn’t dispute that. They now say he “misunderstood” the question, which was asked of him while meeting with a small group of voters in Turlock last year.
The voter did use odd wording (“full nine terms”) but it’s clear the question was whether Harder supports legal abortion taking place at any point in a pregnancy.
The Harder campaign says he meant that he supports “existing California law,” which only makes abortions legal into the second trimester. That’s a much more mainstream position than advocating legal abortion during any stage of pregnancy.
For instance, the most recent Gallup poll on abortion (May 2018) found that opinions of abortion vary wildly depending upon the trimester in which the procedure occurs.
First trimester? 60 percent say it should be legal. Second trimester? 65 percent say it should be illegal. Third trimester? 81 percent say it should be illegal. That gives a glimpse of why Harder’s answer has been seized on by Denham—and why the Harder campaign is offering a new answer to this question now.
But the tape of Harder’s other answer last year to a small group of voters is still fair game. It’s legit to use the clip in in an ad.
WHO SAID IT? Congressional Leadership Fund, in a pro-Denham ad.
IS IT LEGIT? No. Because this ad distorts context.
It’s true Harder supported high-speed rail. He still does. And the dollar amounts in the ad are correct as well. So what gives with the not-legit rating?
Simple: It’s the way they use those numbers to try to scare you. Against a bed of haunting music, these numbers are meant to convey scandal or shock about the dollar amounts involved here. But you need to know that the $10 billion of debt isn’t a scandal or a surprise. It’s the amount of debt that the state published in your voter guide 10 years ago.
Prop1A in 2008 asked the voters to approve $10 billion of debt for high-speed rail. And they did—by a vote of 53 percent. Which means this line in the ad is more an attack on California voters than it is on Harder.
The $70 billion figure in this ad is the new projected cost. Back when Californians voted for high-speed rail, opponents warned it could cost more—perhaps $90 billion.
Maybe it will in the end.
It’s fine to point out Harder was pro-train. It’s also fine to believe the train project is a “disaster.” But the way this ad lodges that argument isn’t legit. It’s preying on ignorance of a cost that the voters already approved.

While the girl-power gathering sent fans into a frenzy, none of the A-list performers on stage got almost the reaction that Obama enjoyed.
The music world will hit the red carpet on Sunday for the Grammys, with a wider selection of nominees - led by hip-hop royalty and a bevy of talented women - up for the top prizes. While Gaga, Smith and Lopez were able to allude to their own experiences as entertainers to highlight how powerful music can be, Obama had to put a hold on her own remarks as she was met with roaring applause immediately after uttering her first words.
"From the Motown records I wore out on the south side", Obama said, as the audience erupted. Our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. "I feel like we are truly part of a celebration, bringing the light, bringing the energy and continuing to make the statement that music is such an important part of all of our lives", she said in a press preview on February 7, according to Rolling Stone. Music shows us that all of it matters, every story within every voice, every note within every song.
That's when the former first lady spoke up, sending the crowd into an uproar."Amen", Obama said.
Michelle Obama is at the #Grammys!
Janelle Monae remembers being frustrated at last year's Grammy Awards, where male acts dominated in nominations and the only woman competing for the night's top award, Lorde, didn't get a chance to perform onstage. "Envisioning the day and putting light around it".
"Yes, we have so much more work to do, but this is a moment to be celebrated". Alicia Keys is hosting this year's event - and she's the first woman to do so in over a decade. "I called on it for all of us".
"It's a little bit of a second home to me". As much as it is about me, it's not just about me.
"I know i'm not there tonight (trust, i tried and still truly wished it had worked out tbh) and i know i said i try not to put too much weight into these things. but (expletive). this is wild and lovely. thank you so much", she tweeted after learning about her win.

This shouldn’t be so difficult, right?
I’m making this harder for myself that it needs to be, right?
I do this to myself all the time.
I’ve been doing this to myself ever since the divorce.
Ok, fine, even before the divorce.
My whole life, yes, thank you.
I’ve been making things harder for myself my entire life. Thank you for pointing that out.
But it got worst after the divorce. That, is a fact.
Oh, why am I listening to you for? You’re – what? Twelve years old?
And you’re not even talking.
You’re just staring at me eating that sandwich.
Oh, you can nod your head, good.
I should ask her out.
And not just to me. To everyone.
She is kind to everyone.
Look at me, I’m laughing right now.
Oh what do you know.
You twelve-year-olds find Pixar movies funny.
Actually, Coco was pretty good.
I’m just stalling at this point.
I’m in love with a girl.
Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve been in love?
Last time, I was in love, you weren’t even born.
I got divorced ten years ago.
Things I… shouldn’t tell a kid like you.
But… You’ll get it someday.
When you find those parts of the internet.
You know what’s scary, though?
What if I don’t do the same for her?
What if she actually hates me and is just nice to me – not because she likes me but because she’s a nice, wonderful angel that doesn’t want to hurt me.
I don’t think I could take that either.
I just turned 50 for crying out loud!

China is a large nation in the world with one fifth of the world's population. Who is the father of this large country? It is Huangdi that laid the foundation of Chinese civilization and from whom everyone can find the merits of Chinese people living since ancient times. Under his leadership, prehistoric Chinese tribal life was transformed and presented a new civilized image to the world.
His family lived on Xuanyuan Hill in Xinzheng County, Henan Province, Huang's family name is Youxiong and his first name is Xuanyuan. Because he had a special attachment to the yellow earth, he was called Huangdi by the people ('Huang' in Chinese means yellow symbolizing the yellow earth and 'Di', emperor).
It is recorded that, in the Prehistoric Times, there lived many clans and tribes around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and Huangdi was the most renowned tribal leader at that time. When the tribe lead by Yandi (Huangdi's close relative) began to decline, Huangdi's tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invaded Yandi's tribe. With the help of Huangdi, Chiyou was defeated. Afterward war between Huangdi and Yandi began and when the war ended Huangdi had become the leader of many tribes.
Many outstanding achievements were made during the reign of Huangdi in architecture, science and culture. Palaces and boats were devised, and arithmetic and medicine also began to appear. He instructed his people to plant corn, and invented tools for guiding the direction of travel. With the help of his wife, people began to feed silkworms and spin thread into silk. In addition, characters and musical instruments were invented by his officials. All in all, many creations came from the Huangdi period.
Huangdi was buried on the Mt. Qiao (Bridge) in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, and nowadays Huangdi Mausoleum known as 'The First Mausoleum in China' has been visited by numerous people home and abroad especially on the day of Qingming Festival (April 4th or 5th).
As Huangdi was the first leader with the great moral and superior wisdom that developed early Chinese civilization, the people regard him as the forefather of the Chinese nation and call themselves the offspring of Huangdi.
did he invent kung kung fu? was he the real person who invented kung fu?
Surya, you should understand that there are many kinds of Kung Fu or Martial Arts. It's difficult to figure out who invented Chinese Kung Fu. However, according to the material I read, it was Fu Xi who invented Kung Fu. He was a leader of a tribe but regarded as a God later. He lived in much earlier time than Huang Di.
It was not fuxi that invented kung fu. Huangdi was the one who created kung fu. He created it because he thought it would would be great for the body. Also becuse he was a great philosopher on medicine.
May i know who is chiyou? Because it was not explained there.
Fiona, Chi You is a leader of another clan. He lived in the same period with Huang Di. It is said that he is as powerful as Huang Di. His clan members are also strong. Huang Di and Chi You had a battle in Zhuolu located in Zhangjiakou City. At last, Huang Di united Yan Di and defeated Chi You.

There are Lua scripts, embedded scripts and there are Plugins, all are said to be able to automate NoteCase Pro.
What's the difference? What should I use or develop? What's suited for what purpose?
A stand-alone ".lua" file, basically a text file containing Lua instructions, can be registered in NoteCase Pro and called via "Scripts" menu, as well as assigned to a keyboard shortcut.
Suitable for less complex automation purposes, basically one action only.
Registration in NoteCase Pro via the "Scripts" menu. Manual installation and configuration.
A Lua script can also be included in a NoteCase Pro document and executed from there. This is called "embedded". Embedding a script allows to tie a script to a certain data document. Or this method can be used to build script collections, i.e. combine several related scripts in one document.
is basically an embedded script document, i.e. a collection of an arbitrary number of different scripts, but it follows specific rules for its internal structure, so that NoteCase Pro is able to make immediate use of the contents. Furthermore, it is easily installable, updateable and removable using the Plugin Manager. Plugins, when they are installed, automatically build their own sub menus inside the "Plugins" menu, so each Plugin action can be started using an own menu entry conveniently by the user.
Plugins may be "locked", i.e. encrypted, so that the user won't be able to see the source code. This is important for preserving copyrights on algorithms used inside the Plugin, and for commercial distribution.

The incredible story of the Battle of Nad Ali, drawing on parallels between the famous battle of Rorke's Drift, that inspired the film Zulu. Trapped in an isolated outpost on the edge of the Helmand desert, a small force of British and Afghan soldiers is holding out against hundreds of Taliban fighters. Captain Mark Evans, a junior British officer, has been sent to take command of the Afghan troops. Under brutal siege conditions, running low on food and ammunition, he experiences the full horror of combat. As the casualties begin to mount and the enemy closes in, Evans finds both his leadership and his belief in the war severely tested. Returning home, he is haunted by the memories of Afghanistan. He can't move on and his life begins to spin out of control. This book tells a compelling story of survival against the odds and the scars war leaves behind.
Mark Evans commissioned into the Coldstream Guards in 2004. From Nigeria to Brunei, Belize to Buckingham Palace, Evans had a diverse career, seeing active service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Returning from Afghanistan he was diagnosed with PTSD and left the army in 2010. Andrew Sharples is an author.

With the cooperation of Xin, the news only provided a brief summary of the explosion that happened a day ago . News of the first round of the business forum concluding without a happy ending was suppressed due to "consideration of the bigger picture . "
Afterward, the media was engaged by another piece of news .
The President of Future Group conducted a news conference and announced the establishment of a personal charity fund named Jiang Charity Fund with an initial fund of 300 million USD . He suggested contributing at least 500 million USD every year . The charitable fund was a non-public fund by nature and the fund was mostly concerned with building education, health, and public infrastructure in poor areas .
The head of Han Charity Organization and the mayor of Shangjin all highly praised Jiang Chen's generosity . The media all heaped an overwhelming amount of praise on him . Xin's President, Zhang Yapin, spoke to the media saying that there were no limits when it came to charity and Jiang Chen's actions would become a symbol of friendship between the two countries .
At the same time, Hua's number one official expressed his agreement .
The fund manager was a man named Wu Botao arranged by the Liu family .
Jiang Chen didn't want Future Group to be too involved with the daily operations of the fund and fully relinquished control to the Liu family . If anything happened, they just needed to bring this Wu Botao out as a scapegoat and this wouldn't negatively influence Future Group .
300 million USD was approximately one-tenth of Future Group's profits in Hua . Of course, this number would probably more than double next year because the server for the Phantom would come online by the beginning of next year when the worldly virtual reality MMORPG would be officially released . A lot of Wall Street analysts provided estimates that as long as no problems existed with the operation, just the MMORPG would generate at least 2 billion USD in annual profit .
And this didn't include the one time profit of selling the helmet .
Quite comically, the netizens of Hua didn't bring up many opinions about Jiang Chen in the "delegation" since they always viewed Jiang Chen as their own .
The reason why nobody brought it up was because the two countries were not comparable in terms of power - there was a friendly relationship, no competition, a high number of cultural similarities, and a common enemy . If Jiang Chen immigrated to the other country and it was exposed by the public, he would be criticized half dead by keyboard warriors .
But with the charitable fund becoming public, no one cared about his nationality . With Future Group's purposeful manipulation of public opinion, major social media outlets once again were flooded by the generous rich . Although Jiang Chen didn't care how people viewed him, to be frank, he felt good when so many praised him .
Wait, something wasn't right .
Let's put the charitable cause aside .
The Zhou family, who put up a good attitude, began to feel worried when Jiang Chen didn't contact them .
Seeing that Jiang Chen suddenly started a charity, Liu Xiangguo suddenly changed his stance during the internal discussion and pointed his spear at the supporter behind Li Yanhong and the Wang family who held a strong opinion against Future Group, Zhou Antai immediately realized the Liu family already contacted Jiang Chen and clearly reached some form of agreement!
While he was cursing how Liu Xiangguo screwed him over, Zhou Antai couldn't do anything about that . From the beginning, the Zhou family was on the opposite side against the Wang family and stood with Future Group . Even if he changed his stance now, the people on the opposite side wouldn't view him too highly .
Regardless of where it came from, the grass on top of the wall (1) was unwelcome .
The Zhou family starting to lose their cool and contacted Jiang Chen .
Jiang Chen thought it was comical when the Zhou family came in contact through Zhou Zihao . He obviously guessed the Zhou family was there to ask for benefits .
But different from the Liu family with influence concentrated in politics, the Zhou family's connections and resources concentrated on military tech, energy, and other state-owned enterprises . Jiang Chen knew they didn't need more cash, but rather, wanted to help them gain technical prowess .
Jiang Chen didn't let the Zhou family leave emptyhanded . Instead, he took out the piece of cake known as nutrient supply and tied Zhou family to Future Group's bandwagon .
With the Zhou family in the lead, they established a food company with an import and export license in Yangcheng to purchase military-grade nutrient supply with high calories and nutrient level from Xin . The product was repackaged and sold to the military logistics department . In theory, Hua's military could not directly partner up with foreign entities, but through this gimmick, the problem was gone .
Compared with Russia with a weak economy, Hua with a booming economy was, without a doubt, a partner with a brighter future . The Zhou family decisively signed a contract for 3 million boxes of nutrient supply . Just this batch alone netted Jiang Chen 600 million USD alone . As to how much the Zhou family would gain politically on this military necessity with long shelf life, high efficiency and low logistical demand wasn't something of his concern .
The three-day delegation concluded .
With business contracts worth 2 billion USD, the Xin President along with the rest of the delegation boarded the plane at the airport in the capital .
Based on the previous plan, Jiang Chen would follow Xin's delegation onboard to UA . But because of the "small incident" that happened at the hotel, it made him change his mind .
Before he was certain the CIB was uninvolved with this attack, he didn't want to joke about his own safety . Therefore, Jiang Chen temporarily canceled his plan to accompany the delegation . Instead, he chose a representative from Future Group to replace him on this visit .
Some people were secretively happy about Jiang Chen's decision while some people expressed their regret . But regardless, Future Group was only a company by definition and a missing President wouldn't affect the relationship between two countries .
While the UA President welcomed Xin's delegation, the new President of UA personally sent Jiang Chen an email to express his regret Jiang Chen couldn't make the business forum that took place on Wall Street .
But the President only expressed regret from his personal perspective without delivering many thoughts . They wouldn't know if the attack at the hotel was related to CIB or not; they could only express understanding regarding why Jiang Chen made this decision .
Since CIB conducted an attack on Jiang Chen without approval before, it was reasonable that the attack was related to CIB . But the CIB director in the far Flo felt wronged as this attack had nothing to do with CIB at all, but he was called multiple times to the Rainbow Mansion by the President .
The intention for the newly elected President to win over Xin through Jiang Chen was obvious . He wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move on Jiang Chen at this time . Especially since the last mission in Hua caused CIB's force in Hua to be severely crippled, . Even if he wanted to do something, it was questionable if he had the ability .

service has been seen as a determinant factor for hotel businesses survival. In the era of global competition, many service firms like hotels focus on service quality and excellence to acquire and retain a pool of loyal and profitable customers (Anantharaman, 2001).
for existence. This was due to mismanagement, lack of accountability and responsibility which resulted in some properties being closed and others operated at a loss (Mbise, 2012). He continues that, it was in the early 1990s when Nigeria liberalized trade and adopted a free market economy. Most of the state owned businesses, including hospitality business were privatized. In that time, Nigeria witnessed a boom of investments in tourism enterprises, especially chain lodges and international hotels and that though these changes were important for the hospitality and tourism industry to revitalize, they did not take into account the business environment factors. He claims that the industry faced poor language proficiency, communication skills and lack of qualified employees to provide services that met international standards.
Customer satisfaction is one of the most important outcomes of firms in a market-oriented firm where the obvious need of firms is to satisfy their customers, expand their business and improve profitability (Kandampuly, 2000). Redman and Mathews (1998) argues that it is essential to invest in quality improvement if a firm wants to increase sales or market share and that the increase of sales and market share depends on how much a firm is able to attract and retain existing and potential customers.

ABB has received an order worth around US$140 million from transmission system operators Energinet.dk in Denmark and 50Hertz Transmission in Germany to design, supply and install a HVDC onshore converter station in Bentwisch, Northern Germany.
The HVDC (high voltage direct current) converter station will allow the connection of the asynchronous AC power grids of Eastern Denmark and Germany. It is part of the “Kriegers Flak combined grid solution” project, which establishes the world’s first offshore interconnection by using the national grid connections to the future Danish Kriegers Flak and operating German Baltic 1 and 2 offshore wind farms. The interconnector will have a capacity of 400MW. ABB was also previously awarded a US$100 million AC subsea cable system order for connecting the Danish Kriegers Flak wind farm in 2015.
ABB will provide the complete HVDC station including transformers, converter valves, cooling systems, control and protection and other related equipment at the converter station. HVDC Light provides sophisticated features to the network such as the “black-start” power restoration capability and exceptional power control, to regulate the system with changes in the wind speed.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy released its results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 (January-March) today. Commercial activity in the second quarter of 2018 remained strong: after three consecutive quarters of growth in order intake, the order backlog has reached €22,041 million and is back to market-peak levels of March 2017.

Tucking in to another round of the freely flowing alcohol at last December’s annual Roald Amundsen Memorial Dinner at the Fram Museum in Oslo, there was only one recently published book any of my companions wanted to talk about: the poet-artist Nancy Campbell’s The Library of Ice. In a warming world, where every Sonny Jim is tweeting up a storm at their latest High Arctic disaster tourism lark, such exuberance manifests every couple of years and one must endure. Yet there were exclamations such as one has not heard since Barry Lopez’s Arctic Dreams in 1986 (also published by Scribner). All agreed that The Library of Ice marked a fundament, the first truly significant cultural signpost of the natural calamity racing at us.
It would be facile to suggest that the work should have been directly linked to Lopez with a title such as Arctic Nightmares, because there is so much more at work here than disaster tourism. The author holds a key to not just a library but a whole associated archive and art gallery the likes of which few writers have ever been able to reveal. The story centers on the notion that “polar ice is the first archive” and proceeds to carry through the metaphor with a seemingly effortless display that ranges from Inuit mythology to Antarctic ice cores to artifacts in the Pitt Rivers Museum to the Olympic skating routine of Torvill and Dean (and yes, the latter discussion is absolutely transfixing). It is not effortless, of course, and instead the product of years of careful observation by a poet, writer, translator, sketch artist, and print artist of wondrous sensitivity.
Visiting or doing research in the Arctic forces one into different categories of thoughts. Most of these, in order for us to make a living, we must discard, and fast. Campbell shows us what a mistake this is. Reading the peer notes of the first article on the Arctic I wrote some thirty years ago, one reviewer chastised it for sounding too much like Lopez. This puzzled me, as I’d spent the previous fifteen years trying to write precisely like him. But I took heed, rewrote, flattened, polished the science up and toned the flourish down, and so began a more or less dutiful slow crawl up the academic ladder.
Along the way, as I jogged in a straight line down Archaeology Road without my beloved copy of Lopez’s River Notes, I neglected to properly record so many memorable scenes right in front of my eyes: the brilliant maritime archaeologist smoking a pipe while peddling a bicycle at walking speed on the rough dirt road outside of Longyearbyen so that we could have a proper chat about an expedition from the 1890s as I walked alongside, a scene as incongruous as Paul Newman flirting with Katherine Ross on that frontier bicycle in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Or the many drift artifacts noted but unrecorded on beaches throughout the Arctic, like the German light bulb seen on the north shore of Danskøya, a fragile glass bulb carried to an Arctic shore a hundred kilometers from the nearest lamp (and probably 2,000 kilometers from the lamp it had once been fitted to), an unlikely survivor of forces that could kill a human in seconds. The Arctic both lifts one’s eyes to take in some of the planet’s most remarkable landscapes at the same time it presents small human connections that are easily ignored or quickly forgotten—while also making sure you maintain a weather eye (and a ready firearm) in case of polar bears.
The Library of Ice, fortunately, never makes this mistake. No detail is lost or forgotten. It is, one could argue, the first great literature of the Anthropocene. If you don’t believe this, go to page 33, where a sentence concludes: “if humans are lucky, there may be more decades ahead.” Decades. If we are lucky. Thus chastened, we embark on a journey around the Radcliffe Camera to the Bodleian to uncover Robert Boyle’s History of Cold. One imagines John Thaw’s Inspector Morse drinking at The White Horse across the street—a crazy thought until, sure enough, Morse code makes an appearance later in the book. One searches for the many prophecies in this book just as when listening to the music in Morse, where the composer of the soundtrack, Barrington Pheloung, would telegraph the name of the murderer in code in each episode.
The journey in The Library of Ice is undertaken by a poor pilgrim, with just a few quid for a drink and bed-sit, the very best of a miserable generation of academics bereft of proper positions or funding as the world inexplicably funnels buckets of cash upwards and away from renewable energies, digitization and democratization of archives, the preservation of indigenous lifeways, and a hundred other necessities. It is therefore an incredibly brave voyage, fearless in its way of postponing the inevitable reckoning of settling down to what used to be called a proper living to record another, larger, global reckoning. The brilliance of Campbell’s method is a stream of cultural connections tied to the theme of memory and loss: the architecture of the University of Greenland fitted to its surroundings, the ringing of the Terra Nova bell for tea and cakes twice a day at Scott Polar in Cambridge, the crafting the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office from the wreck of HMS Resolute in the Arctic.
Not being an artist, I am not qualified to attest to the descriptions of the wide variety of styles and media employed by the author. But every note she strikes on the life of a library and archive rat rings true, with only one or two flat notes: 1921 being set in the 19th century, and Knud Rasmussen traveling “eastwards” from Greenland to trace the route of Inuit to Alaska.
But these slips of the fingers do nothing to detract from an author who can range from Mylius-Erichson’s 1902-04 Danish Literary Expedition (scientists needed not apply) to the genius of Halldór Laxness, from the Battle of Vittorio Veneto (into which my own grandfather was drafted but thankfully never showed up, lest someone else undertake this review) to the labyrinth of the Prose Edda, and from Ötzi the Iceman to Vander-Molen’s utterly Vernian attempt to cross Iceland via the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river in an ultralight aeroplane in 1983. This latter expedition was so endlessly fantastic that it served as one of several inspirations that eventually sent me north. It was sandwiched between the 1979 publication of Roland Huntford’s Scott and Amundsen and its dramatization by Trevor Griffiths as Judgement over the Dead to its filming in Greenland as the luminous The Last Place on Earth in 1984 and the publication of Lopez’s Arctic Dreams two years later. How was anyone to avoid a scramble to the Poles with that cultural backdrop?
Still and all, it does bring back another missed pathway: my major professor—a lovely New Zealander and renowned paleoanthropologist working on Pliocene stone tools—telling me way back in 1995 that I needed to apply my Arctic work to this new-fangled idea of global climate change. I do remember walking from his office and thinking that the old man was crazy: Arctic ice was as permanent as permanent could be. I couldn’t see where my work could be of any use on that score.
Well. Twenty-five years later, as Ragnarök approaches, it is up to scholars like Nancy Campbell to record it all before the world melts and the old gods are defeated and washed away. From behind her carrel in this Library of Ice, Campbell has brilliantly developed the theme of ice as both memory and loss of memory. Now, for goodness’ sake, someone get her a pint and a very large grant. That library’s almost gone and it’s not going to read itself.
Looking forward to adding this to my collection of Arctic narratives.

If you took a look at the outfit he’s wearing—oversized sweats with five front pockets and a halter-top sweater—the first thought to the naked eye would be, “what the hell is he wearing and why does he look homeless?” The look seems outdated, dingy and just a bad decision across the board.
The model in the picture is known to the world of fashion and social media as “Bloody Osiris.” His name stems from his alleged ties to the Harlem Blood subset, the “Nine Trey Gangstas,” which is also represented by fellow Harlem native and ‘Dipset’ rapper, Jim Jones.
Osiris has amassed a social media following that stretches over 100,000 followers on Instagram and Twitter, for his influence on streetwear, paired with his keen ability to combine clothes that designers had never intended to go together. Osiris is part of a growing movement of young creatives who are pushing the envelope on the idea of blending streetwear with high-end fashion, resulting in many brands designing clothes that are geared towards reaching a broader younger audience.
Wes Rodgers, a current Product Development major at the Fashion Institute of Technology, is no amateur in the fashion world, as he was practically born into a family of fashion. His mother, Maureen, is the head designer at Carters, while his brother, Lou, has an extensive history in fashion as well. Rodgers says he has seen the transformation of many high-end brands embodying a more urban and street approach in their designs.
But this is not the first time high-end fashion have found themselves incorporating streetwear into their collections.
Harlem designer Daniel Day, better known to the world as the “Dapper Dan,” was a pioneer in the merging of streetwear and upscale clothing. In the late seventies into the eighties, brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton were known to represent a certain type of person. They represented status through their clothing; their ready-to-wear pieces included nothing more than suits, button-ups, loafers, and premium leathers.
Dapper Dan revolutionized this side of fashion by incorporating standard streetwear attire such as velour sweat suits, t-shirts and puffy jackets and even the interior of your Mercedes Benz with printed logos of brands like Gucci, MCM, Louis Vuitton and Fendi. Dan’s designs were worn by people who Gucci hadn’t intended their clothing be worn by: drug dealers, hustlers, and rappers. They could be seen roaming the boroughs of New York, decked out in leather Gucci jumpsuits, designed by Dan in his store on 125th street in Harlem. Dan’s popularity grew as more notable figures began sporting his designs. The extensive list included former world champion Mike Tyson, Olympic runner Dianne Dixon, LL Cool J, and Bobby Brown, all of whom were on top of the world at the time.
Of course, this caught the attention of these brands, as they realized that their likeness was being used on designs they hadn’t approved of or thought of. This created a section of clothing that hadn’t yet been seen in the world of top-end fashion: streetwear. Gucci began designing crewneck sweaters, t-shirts, and handbags that appealed to a broader audience.
At the turn of the decade, Dapper Dan’s boutique closed in 1992, but his influence and legacy lived on as rap culture took over.
In the midst of this transition, Polo Ralph Lauren and Nautica began releasing clothing geared towards competing with these hip-hop driven brands. Both brands had been known to cater to a certain demographic as well—country club members and yacht owners.
DJ Ralph McDaniels, most notably known for his work on the eighties hip-hop television show Video Hot Box, reflected on what brands like Ralph Lauren represented to him during his feature in the film Fresh Dressed.
People were tired of living that fantasy, feeling as if, the only way they could acquire Polo was to go to the upscale parts of NYC and either steal the merchandise or pay an arm and leg for it.
The emergence of Kross Colors, Wooly Wear, Karl Kani and many other black-owned streetwear companies in the nineties, represented a new approach on clothing, which was: bigger is better. Oversized jeans and hoodies were in and once again high-end fashion found itself on the outside looking in. Here it was, rappers who could afford to wear the likes of Gucci and Fendi, found themselves staying true to their street roots and wearing what they believed to be clothing that truly represented who they were.
This revolution led to the birth of rapper driven clothing that turned the world on its ear. Jay-Z had “Roca Wear,” Puffy had Sean John and Russell Simmons had “Phat Farm.” These brands were different than anything the world had seen from artists, they transitioned from just rappers into businessmen and fashion icons. Sean John wasn’t just jeans and tracksuits, the line featured a formal wear selection that included suits, ties and button-up shirts. Not only did this time in fashion signify that artists could be competitive, in a field they were viewed as mere novices in but it also alerted the world that once again high-end brands were not needed in the streets.
The success of Roca Wear and Sean John (both of which made a recent resurgence) opened the doors for many other artists to start their own lines, most notably, Pharrell’s “Ice Cream/Billionaire Boys Club” line.
Although it seemed streetwear was gaining respect amongst its target demographic, the feeling of stagnation and an urge to break out of a box that streetwear seemed to outgrow, hip-hop artists felt the need to once again try their hand combining with the upper echelon of fashion.
Most people will not remember Kanye West’s sneaker collaboration with Louis Vuitton during the release of his third album, “Graduation.” What more people will remember is Kanye’s rant during his controversial interview on “Sway in the Morning,” and his infamous “How Sway” quote.
Aside from his one-liner, Kanye unlayered the obstacles he faced in trying to immerse himself into fashion. His frustration grew as he saw the success of his shoes with Louis Vuitton, yet no high-end brands would allow him to create independently under their umbrella.
“It’s very difficult to get high-end, respected, fashion people to work with someone that’s considered to be a musician,” said West.
This acquiescence of high-end designers to accept hip-hop artists into its domain is exactly why streetwear continues to be a dominant force in the industry and it is the same reason why fashion figures like Osiris and his counterparts, continue to be looked upon as inspiration in the age of social media fashion.
Those pushing this new movement are now removing themselves from the ilk of mainstream high-end fashion and have set their sights on exclusive runway brands, such as Raf Simons and Rick Owens.
Rodgers, who says his style has grown extemporaneously since he fully immersed himself into fashion and noted that he too, has strayed away from mainstream fashion.
He also spoke on the recent collaborations of streetwear and upscale brands, stating, “I think it was great publicity for Supreme to collab with Louis Vuitton. I wouldn’t be surprised if another streetwear brands collabs with a designer brand.” He continued to speak to the growing “hypebeast” culture that exists today, especially amongst the younger generation.
While the culture continues to propel itself forward, styles that were once in, are now resurfacing. An up and coming, New Jersey-bred designer, Imran Moosvi, known to most by his Instagram handle @Imran_Potato, has pretty much followed the same exact footsteps as Dapper Dan.
Like Dan, Moosvi’s designs have caught the attention of many celebrities, including, Lil’ Yachty, Tyga, Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott and many more.The recent University of Michigan graduate, has created a name for himself with a collection of custom bootlegs, that feature prints from designer brands, on everything from sneakers to motorcycles and even Uno cards. Although his designs are new, it reminds us that as fashion progresses, it still never forgets where it originally comes from.
