Alfa Romeo developed a flat-4 engine for their new Alfasud, introduced in 1971.
The original engine displaced 1.2 L (1186 cc) with an 80 mm bore and 59 mm stroke.
The engine was stroked (to 64 mm) to create the 1.3 L (1286 cc) version. This engine produced 75 hp (56 kW).
A rare version was the 1.4 L (1350 cc) variant.
From 1978 until 1987, the largest member of the family was the 1.5 L (1490 cc) "1500". It produced 85 to 105 hp (63 to 78 kW).This is the largest engine to be naturally found in Alfasuds and Sprints, though many have picked them up over subsequent years.
In 1990 a quad cam 16 valve version of the venerable boxer was produced, it was the most powerful to date with 137bhp. Only available in fuel injected form, the 1.7 16V was equipped with the Bosch ML 4.1 system.
The last Alfa Romeo flat-4 was produced in 1995, a run of 24 years.

I picked this up on a whim, partially because Laura (all my good ideas come from her!) suggested the YAckers read another John Green book, and partially because I’ve been trying to get this guy at work to read John Green, and I suggested this one. I figured it was due for a reread. Or listen in this case.
After going back and reading my initial review, I realize I don’t have much to add. It’s still a great mix of nerdiness, humor, and Deep Thoughts, though I think John (I can call him that, right? Being a Nerdfighter and all?) has gotten better at meshing the Deep Thoughts into his books and they come off less as Deep Thoughts and more as, well, just thoughts. I didn’t remember the bit about the footnotes; I’m assuming Woodman read them, but they just came off more as asides, which I didn’t mind at all. Speaking of Woodman, I thoroughly enjoyed his narration; he got the voices just right, and the girls — always an issue with me with male readers — weren’t simpery. Hassan was still my favorite character, hands down; it was nice to have a religious character — an Islamic one at that — who wasn’t preachy. Not to mention the fact that he was overweight but not obsessive about it.
I do think, in the end, that although this is John’s funniest book (all the fugs made me laugh), it’s not my favorite anymore. (I’ve remembered it that way for the longest time.) It’s charming, it’s sweet, it’s fun, but it lack the depth that he has in his other novels. Perhaps I should try pushing Paper Towns on the guy at work (he’s one of those literary fiction sorts). He might like that one better.

Read Along with Woolly makes bedtime stories even better! Based on the popular CBeebies character, Woolly comes with his own story book featuring four exciting tales. Symbols within each story match with the embroidered symbols on Woolly's feet. Kids will love to press them to hear fun sounds and phrases. A brilliant way to encourage a love of reading; Woolly's interactive features are bound to delight and entertain your little one.
We love Woolly and Tig and we watch it all the time, so when we were offered the Read with Woolly to review we were over the moon. Especially as we are doing lots of reading with the boys at the moment. Kyd's reading age doesn't match his actual age due to his Down Syndrome and the issue with this is that reading materials for his ability, are pretty babyish and patronising. Toys like this that he can read to his brother really help give him a reason to read words of his ability without feeling silly about it. It gives him a bit of dignity back.
Rocky was the first to see the brightly coloured cuddly Woolly. Taking him out of the box was pretty easy and he was soon being explored by Rocky's excited little eyes. He soon discovered that each leg had a noisy button on the end and that one sung the song he listened to every day on Cbeebies... which was repeated constantly for a good five minutes whilst laughing. He then realised that the book on the front was in fact a book, so he sat me down to read it. He soon got the hang of the fact that the pictures matched the buttons on Woolly's legs and was finding them ready to press. His favourite story is about bath time, probably because that is his favourite time of day.
When Kyd got home, he too sat and played with the squidgy new addition to the house. The only spider I think he would be pleased to see as he walked through the door. He laughed along with Rocky as he showed him each button and he soon was reading the book with him. He found the book entertaining and although he got stuck on a few words he loved the fact that he was reading with his brother... it was beautiful to watch.
Woolly actually came to Cbeebies Land with us. He went to the Something Special garden and the Big Fun Show Time arena. He loved Justin's house and the Tree Top adventure too, he was happy to see all his friends... He did however have a bit of an accident.
I think it would make more sense for it to be made from dribble/sick/toddler proof material rather than card, even laminated card would work better as if it is aimed at 10 month olds and over I can imagine it may get chewed a little. Woolly is still ok though and we have bought some books that we can almost fit the phrases of the buttons in with, although it is all a bit strange, it will make for fun reading and he's that cuddly it doesn't really matter.

EUNPACK will further our understanding of whether the EU may or may not be capable, and why, of successfully advancing its tool box of facilitating the management of conflict in its immediate and extended neighbourhood.
EUNPACK will close the knowledge gap between the EU’s comprehensive institutional mechanisms and ambitions for crisis response, and the highly mixed results on the ground in target countries.
EUNPACK will investigate existing crisis response approaches in a comprehensive manner, combining a bottom-up view with an institutional perspective.
This section not only offers a selection of official documents, policy reports, books and articles on topics relevant to the project but also short bibliographies of members of the EUNPACK consortium.
EUNPACK has been designed and developed to critically examine whether EU external crisis response is sensitive to the political and social context on the ground. In order to achieve this the project takes a holistic approach that covers the whole crisis cycle, the full EU toolbox, and the EU’s ability to respond to crises in different types of regions (e.g. Enlargement Area, ENP Area and Extended neighbourhood).
Held on 18-19 March 2019, near the end of the EUNPACK project, the Final Conference provided an opportunity to look back at three years of research and fieldwork and to consider the policy implications of the findings. The conference provided an opportunity for EUNPACK researchers to share insights and discuss findings with relevant policymakers, other scholars as well as representatives from civil society. Project co-ordinator Morten Bøås (NUPI) opened the event, presenting key findings from the three years of research.
Read more about Is the EU ready to handle the major challenges it is facing?
On 20 November, members of our EUNPACK team visited the EU Training Mission’s (EUTM) headquarters in Bamako for a second time. Here we met with Brigadier General Peter Mirow, newly appointed Mission Force Commander for the EUTM, as well as political advisor Marlène Dupouy and the executive officer (XO) of the headquarters. While we in the first visit in 2017 gathered data, this time around we presented some of the key findings from the project.
This year’s Belgrade Security Forum started on 17 October with a full day of debates organised as part of the Horizon 2020 ‘EUNPACK’ project. The BSF, in its eight edition, is the leading international affairs conference in the Western Balkans and was attended by hundreds of policymakers, diplomats, businesspeople, civil society representatives and academics from more than 30 countries.
On 23-24 October 2018, researchers from the EUNPACK project attended the Middle East Research Institute (MERI) Forum 2018: ‘Visions for Stabilizing the Middle East’ in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. EUNPACK co-hosted a panel titled ‘EU in the Middle East: Responsive State-building to Prevent Violent Extremism’. The panel consisted of chair Morten Bøås (NUPI), Kamaran Palani Mohammed (MERI), Tine Gade (NUPI), Steven Blockmans (CEPS), and Roman Blecua (EU Ambassador to Iraq).
It is with much sadness that we received the news that our friend and colleague Ambroise Dakouo was killed in a traffic accident this morning near the town of Segou in Mali. Ambroise had contributed greatly to our EUNPACK project and we had come to know him as a very professional, dedicated and talented researcher. His untimely death is clearly a loss to us all. Or thoughts in this difficult period goes to Ambroise's family and loved ones.
The consortium consists of researchers with a special competence on the EU and specialists on peace and conflict studies within different sectors and/or regions. More specifically, it will consist of the following key institutions.

Riportiamo la versione originale dell'importante articolo di Bernadine Healy,apparso sul numero dell' 11 Settembre 2006 di US News. L'articolo partecipa della discussione intrnazionale sorta dopo la pubblicazione di un recente saggio  che accusa l'EBM di autoritarimo e "miscrofascismo"
Deconstructing the evidence-based discourse in health sciences: truth, power and fascism.
Browse through an archive of columns by Bernadine Healy.
Evidence-based medicine has the ring of scientific authority. But it's not as self-evident as it sounds. EBM is a movement born in the 1990s as an alternative way of practicing medicine, in which "best" evidence, gleaned mostly from randomized clinical trials and cost-benefit studies, is the basis for what docs should or shouldn't do. Touted as a way to improve patient care and restrain unnecessary treatment, EBM sees itself as a major shift away from traditional medicine that emphasizes the expertise of the medical profession. That includes knowledge of the underlying nature of disease, mechanisms of therapy, basic and clinical research, and physician experience. The autonomy and authority of the doctor, and the subsequent variability in care, are the problems that EBM wants to cure.
It's no surprise that EBM draws strong support from governments that seek uniform standards to assess performance and cost effectiveness. According to Marc Rodwin, professor of law at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, EBM puts experts trained in social science, public health, epidemiology, and economic analysis on par with physicians and "breaks the lock hold" the profession has over how medicine is practiced and compensated. Depending on where you sit, that may be good or bad. But you still have to recognize that EBM carries its own ideological and political agenda separate from its clinical purpose.
EBM also questions the prostate-specific antigen test, or PSA, for prostate cancer. The evidence-based method concludes that the test brings more harm than benefit, as it leads to unneeded biopsies and surgeries on often slow-growing cancers. This is at odds with the American Cancer Society, which says that men should have annual PSAs starting at age 50, and African-Americans, who have a higher prostate cancer rate, at age 45. This does not help that young primary-care doctor who published a mournful essay in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2004. He did not get a PSA on his 53-year-old patient, based on his dutiful practice of evidence-based medicine. When found to have advanced prostate cancer, the patient sued and won. The jury put its faith in the medical experts who testified that PSAs are the best way to pick up tumors when they are most treatable.
Sift and sliver. Were these tests not so well known, the selective rules of evidence-based medicine might have prevailed. Patients would have been none the wiser. This concern underlies a scathing commentary on the EBM movement in the International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare by Dave Holmes, a professor of nursing at the University of Ottawa. He and his colleagues argue that EBM is "outrageously exclusionary" and even "microfascism" in the way it sifts knowledge. Though harsh, he makes a point: By anointing only a small sliver of research as best evidence and discarding or devaluing physician judgment and more than 90 percent of the medical literature, patients are forced into a one-size-fits-all straitjacket. Ironically, this comes at a time when both human genomics and informed patients are demanding more tailored and personal prescriptions for care.
EBM has its merits, but let's make it just what it claims to be: a system to gather and synthesize evidence and disseminate it widely in order to enhance medical decision making. Do so using the full range of relevant medical knowledge and science and the foremost thinking of its experts, without political or ideological bias. This "best" EBM should be integrated into medicine, not be at odds with it.

National Park Week – April 15 to 23, 2017 – is the time to highlight some great hiking trails in the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park to enjoy during your vacation in Astoria. The Fort to Sea Trail and its associated trails are great choices for nature lovers and history buffs alike. The Trail winds through the Oregon landscape where Clatsop Indians once lived, and Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery explored and documented during their expedition in 1805-1806.
Beginning at the Visitor Center at Fort Clatsop, you’ll hike 6.5 miles through forest, pastures, and dunes to Sunset Beach on the Pacific coast. The first two miles bring you to the top of Clatsop Ridge, and your first view of the Pacific. From there, the trail leads through woods and pastures, then gentle dunes and beach woods to reach the beach. If you’re looking for wildlife, you might see deer, elk, beaver, bear or eagles along the way. Returning to Fort Clatsop on the Trail will make the total length of your hike 13 miles; alternatively, arrange for a cab or other transportation to meet you at Sunset Beach. To hike the trail from the ocean to the Fort, begin at the Sunset Beach/Fort to Sea Trailhead on Sunset Beach Lane, Warrenton, Oregon. For details about this moderate difficulty hike, visit the AllTrails website.
You have lots of options for shorter hikes along parts the Trail as well: From the Fort’s Visitor Center trailhead, a short ½ mile loop is great for families with small children or just some exercise. From the Fort’s Visitor Center to Clatsop Ridge and back is about 4 miles. For a shorter roundtrip hike, take the portion of the Trail from the Fort’s Visitor Center to Clatsop Ridge, then back to the Visitor Center. At the Sunset Beach, a 1-mile trail leads from the Sunset Beach/Fort to the Sea Parking area down to Sunset Beach and back.
Oregon’s spring weather is great for hiking, with daytime highs in the 60s, so make plans to follow in the Corps of Discovery’s footsteps and explore the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park . Book your stay at Clementine’s Bed & Breakfast – you’ll start your hiking day with a delicious gourmet breakfast, and all the comforts of the inn will await your return at the end of the day.
Fort to Sea Trailhead and Surrounding Trails are open daylight hours all year.

Businesses are going under, banks are closing, once rational people are speaking pre-apocalyptical fears. Or not speaking them. But when any fear, real or imagined is brought to light or implied, I see waves of panic flash into even the most typically optimistic person's eyes.
Now, I'm a funny creature. I tend to think the worst, I tend to feel the panic beating in my chest, like a thousand bats trapped in a cave-in, but maintaining a thin smile nonetheless. And this is during the "good times." But when worst comes to worst, I become a huge optimist, when things look most bleak, all I see is possibility. It's as though my house has blown down and I'm standing over it with nothing but a hammer and a pocket full of nails. And I smile because the new house will be made by me and need look nothing like the old one.
So I too, may wonder- may speak of impending apocalypse from time to time, in passing. But I don't mean to instill fear or inspire others to withdraw their life's savings and hide it under the mattress. I say live it up. Maybe I'm a secret hedonist, but the truth is our days are numbered. And they always have been, even in good times. Not one of us will live forever, so shouldn't we all strive to do something great every moment we have a chance?
Maybe, in this tough time, we should all learn to start living more simply. But that doesn't mean to stop living. I'm not ready to roll over and die, I'm ready to start having fun. And couldn't a simpler life still be grand? maybe we'll learn to appreciate the small things again, the little miracles that are usually lost in the din of our great advancements in technology and so forth.
Now is not the time to panic. Now is the time to look our reflections in the eye and realize our immense potential for creative genius.

Let me curse! Let me curse!
Let me vent my hate!
They must suffer. Yes, suffer!
May they suffer my curse!
An Ilthaine curse. No one is sure whence it first came into use, how or where from. All that is certain is that it works and that the recipient(s) of such a curse must be truly deserving and the caster(s) genuine and grave victims. When correctly performed the spirits of the land themselves will seek retribution on behalf of the caster making sure to pay with added interest the equivalent level of suffering that recipient(s) put the caster(s) through. Perhaps most interesting is the fact that the first five verses are chanted furiously whereas the last is uttered quietly and somberly. Rumours exist of an addendum that if added to the end makes the ritual final, consuming even the caster(s) life as well to boost the curse by several orders of magnitude.

I pulled out the calculator and came up with this observation. The June 4th raise of roughly $ 9.5MM net occurred resulting in the cash balance of $ 12.7MM at June 30th. With the burn rate flat since then, the cash balance today should be very close to $ 8.0MM once again.
With the loan covenant requiring a minimum cash balance of three months, I would expect a deal of some sort this week (unless they have been tapping the ATM at these prices or we finally get paid for product shipments). If not this week, it will be in the next three weeks.
Try typing without using dollar sign..... Dumbest thing Saad ever did was borrow money...... That's for folks with cash flow. Where the f@@@ did he get his financial training???? Glad that knucklehead is gone.
When are they going to right this ship?!? Seems like everything that could go wrong has literally gone wrong since Hedrick took over. Sadly we all expected a complete reversal after the era of Calhouning was deemed over. I guess the ghost of Calhoun is still around to haunt us. The recent stock option grants were ridiculously timed as well. I mean, WTF.
Yes- something need to be "cooked" soon.
$ 40 till 60 Mio would be my belly guess as being required to settle the BS issue. If the raise of money is by a secondary that would mean about 50 Mio additional shares...????!!!!
I refuse to believe or accept that- for the time being.
You seem to be on my page now where I said some time ago that CYTX needed another 90-100 million in cash.
Perhaps a partner emerges with some $ but they will be floating more shares imho no matter what.
"CYTX needed another 90-100 million in cash"
Lim could own the company with another 100 million or so. There are many interesting scenarios out there but coming up with that kind of cash for a company that has such limited potential cash flow seems to me to be a stretch. Based on the projected BARDA revenue stream alone an investment would be foolish. Considering the near term frustrations of - management turmoil, Athena, and now a shareholder lawsuit, a white knight is needed or I fear the worst might be in the cards. If TT leaves the board due to any kind of scandal the company will be doomed. The future is not looking bright. It could be that Hedrick felt the stock options were worthless. He may be correct.
Cutting cost is all they can do as they try to march the science forward until those sales come in.
As for the BOD...I very much doubt TT is leaving but clearly we could afford to loose a few board members for this small company...I have my few I'd like to see go.
I totally agree. The more BOD there are the less that gets done.
There is no evidence that any member of the BOD has done anything to introduce us to sources of needed capital or needed business ventures involving sales revenue. Advice is cheap. Like everybody else, I am a total loss as to why we have so many BOD members.
Anyway, in the time frame that I regularly talked to Saad- that is early 2005 until late 2007- we also (of course) talked about his expectations on the future of the Company he (at that time) recently joined.
The discussion pretty much arrived quickly at Companies like Baxter and Medtronic (those days pretty much similar size), but yes- he thought that would take 15-20 years or so.
of a conservative public accountant who has a (gigantic) knack for business development and a major interest in regenerative technologies.
So- just for what it is worth I had a look at the composition of the Boards of the referenced Companies- Baxter has 13 Directors and Medtronic 10. Cytori has 9 at present but with a CEO (or president) and a Lim representative- 11. i.e. one more than Baxter.
One thing should be said though- I still think Mark could very well be right in his assessment. ADRCs are the paradigm shift in medicine; it just is a bit difficult to convey the world of the fact.
Very interesting: the last person on the Medtronic Board is Preetha Reddy- daughter of Dr. Reddy- Founder of Apollo Hospitals.
She is somebody that should be on Cytori´s Board, you can dump virtually everbody else.
I like where the recent discussions here have taken us.
Open discussion on the wrongs and ineffectiveness of past management and that the changes are good.
Realistic timelines of when this tech will be ready for prime time...I personally never believed the short timelines of some and often openly ridiculed JK's lofty cardiac only earnings estimates.
Differing opinions are a good thing for open and honest discussion but when everyone was on the YMB I also realistic views were important not only for current shareholders but also for new comers so their investment horizons could withstand set backs. Educated shareholders are the best shareholders and a big reason Fas has spent so much of his personal time in creating this site.
Now...if we can pull a rabbit out of the hat with the balance sheet we may actually have had a productive year for this company !
The part of my last post, which I am not so serious about, was the size of the BOD.
I really could not care less, although I do not understand what value some folks bring to the party. As a Company which will likely develop strongest in Japan and in Emerging Nations, the lack of nationals on the BOD from these countries is most striking.
I always expected this guy on the BOD one day, since he was also Chairman of Cellsociety amongst many other functions. He is "friendly" to CYTX tech and advised the Diet on Fukushima (as Chairman of the investigation committee).
His recent function of Chair of GHIT fits perfectly to Cytori.
To come back at the first post of thread by Lewis (DOV), my partner who reads all 10K´s and 10Q´s line by line, mentioned there was something on August 31 (i.e. yesterday) with the covenants of the Oxford Finance loan.
I glanced over the contract which is in the Q2 2013 report, but that one is so thick and is so boring that I gave up and settled for the 8K issued on the day of the announcement.
This just gives as "extra" on Lewis´post that Cytori pays a small Mio every first day of the month starting August 1 2014 i.e. today September 1 too (well assuming no banks are open on Labor Day- than tomorrow). Simply being 27 Mio in 36 installments plus 9,75% interest on the balance.
Ammendment to the contract terms is a very possible news item soon.
Cytori must have been delinquent since July 31/Aug 1. If for some miracle they were not at the time- they surely must be now as of today.
So - yes as Lewis said- probably tomorrow or so.
I see a big move up quickly. $1.42 is major resistance at this point .... First things first . Need 2 consecutive daily closes above $1.42 .... You see how much panic is out there as the talk track in the sec filing was matter of fact ( as it always is) about default talk. They need to get this behind them the first day the new CFO takes over .... Certainly this week.
Poison Pill kicks in around 20% ownership I believe.
Why would Lim pay nearly a 100% premium ?
I agree Lim could be a viable option and considered it myself but what you laid out just doesnt seem likely at all.
Maybe sell rights to Japan ? How would Japan react to Lim as owner of Cytori's Apps in Japan ?
I do agree the debt issue is killing us....CC/Saad deals still sting even after they are gone....I just dont think they can pay off that debt and get funding to run the company comfortably with enough cash cushion to attract the kind of investors we need.
Balance sheet first...then debt later down the road.

If you own a hot tub or are thinking about buying one you should also consider putting a deck around it. Doing this will help blend your spa into its surroundings. Not only that, it will make the hot tub easier to use and enjoy. And there will be a huge improvement to the overall appeal of your space.
This option is when you build your deck around your spa so only the very top lip of the spa is showing. It makes it easy to access the hot tub and those who use it can also sit on the deck while their feet dangle in the spa. Building your deck like this also makes it very easy to remove your spa’s sometimes heavy and cumbersome insulated cover.
Another deck building technique that works great for incorporating portable spas into decking is what is known as partially recessing the hot tub. This is where a significant portion of the sides of the hot tub remain above the deck level. This works great if you want to restrict access to your hot tub but still want to be able to comfortably sit on the edge of the spa when in the hot tub area.
When you build a deck this way it leaves your portable spa totally free standing. The only time you would really want to consider this option is if you have a hot tub with a beautifully designed wood or synthetic cabinet. The deck itself will beautify the surrounding area and give you much more room in the spa area too. Custom built steps to match the decking will usually be added for this type of deck building project too.
This deck building option is often used in a situation where you cannot recess your hot tub down into a deck but that is the functionality you want. Here you will add on a second deck level built around the top of the hot tub that will give you the same desired effect. Of course steps will have to be built too in order for you to have access to this higher deck level from the lower deck.
Here are some of the things you must take a close look at before you decide to do such things as lower a spa into a new deck or build a new deck up around it.
Let’s face it, not all portable spas have a good looking exterior. If that is true with your hot tub then you don’t want any or most of its cabinet to be visible. If the exterior of your spa looks great then you can leave more of it visible and that will increase your deck building options.
This is perhaps the most important deck building consideration when incorporating your portable spa into a new deck. If you are a family that has infants or toddlers you certainly don’t want to build your deck in a way that allows direct access into the hot tub. Family pets must be considered here too if they spend unsupervised time in the hot tub area.
You may not always have all the deck design options mentioned above if you have restrictions due to the setting of your home. For instance, you may not be able to build a raised deck if there are overhangs in the area where you want your spa to sit. You may also not be able to fully recess your spa if there is rocky ground that can’t be excavated below the area where you want to build your deck.
How you plan to enter your hot tub area is also a big factor in deciding how to build a new deck around it. It will require a different design to enter your hot tub area from a nearby fenced pool as opposed to entering from an access point such as a sliding patio door on your home. You must also consider whether your new spa deck is to be attached to your home or is to be built as a free standing deck.
This is a prime consideration in deck design when building a deck around your hot tub for sure. It’s especially true if you live in an area where your neighbor’s homes are very close to yours. When you are using your spa with your significant other or you are entertaining guests, you certainly don’t want overly nosey neighbors being able to observe everything you do in your new hot tub deck area.
Many homes that have hot tubs have spectacular views and you don’t want to block these in any way. If that is the case with you then you will want to design your deck so it will enable you to enjoy the view of the surrounding area while using your hot tub. When you do this you get the best of both worlds. You will enhance the viewing pleasure of the surrounding area and you will also greatly improve the looks of the setting your portable spa is placed in.
A hot tub is an item with many working parts in it. Chances are one or more of those working parts will need to be replaced at some point in its lifetime. That is why access to the motor compartment and other maintenance areas under the hot tub must be considered when designing a deck to be built around it.
XMT Construction is one of the premier deck builders in the Greater Vancouver area. We are fortunate to have an excellent design staff that can take a look at your individual situation and come up with some great suggestions for your spa deck design. If you should choose us to build your deck for you also, then your decking project will be placed in the capable hands of some of the most highly skilled deck builders that you will find in Vancouver and the vicinity.

People ended up in California in much the same way that Joseph, whose story is captured in the second half of the book of Genesis, ended up in Egypt: following the trade. The unequal distribution of resources in Joseph’s family—triggered by his father’s ill-advised favoritism—led to conflict in the family and resulted in Joseph being sold by his brothers. They sold him to one of many caravans making its way to Egypt. Later in the story, when the brothers were faced with a famine, they too followed the trade and headed to Egypt. They knew there was food in Egypt, because they had been shipping it there for generations.
Today, as we prepare to celebrate PSR’s Sesquicentennial, we too live at a time of great transition. Our contemporary migrations are shaped by the “push” of conflicts around the globe as much as by the “pull” of opportunities afforded us by an increasingly globalized society. The gold rush that shaped California’s early years has been replaced by what Bazian Hatem, PSR’s 2015 Tolson Scholar, has called the “Silicon rush”—a reference to the impact of technology on migration to our region. The transcontinental railroad has been joined to an unprecedented system of trade that spans the entire globe. Because people follow trade, ours is a time of unprecedented migration. We see evidence of this increased migration in the names of founders of the companies that impact our daily lives—Google, Amazon, Yahoo, etc. According to a study by Vivek Wadhwa of Duke University, 52% of Silicon Valley startups were founded or co-founded by people born outside the United States. But we also see this migration in the stories of tragedy captured in our news headlines—unaccompanied minors from Central America, refugees risking their lives crossing the Southeast Asia Sea or the Mediterranean Sea, and displaced communities escaping from conflict in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East. While these migrations are complex and varied, a close study reveals a pattern: people’s movements trace historical trade routes. The movement of people across the Americas correlates to the signing of free trade agreements across North and Central America. Refugees and economically displaced people from various places in Africa and the Middle East follow colonial trade routes as they seek safety and opportunity. People follow trade: they always have, they always will.
In June, David Vásquez-Levy received a Distinguished Alumnus Award from his alma mater, the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago (LSTC). According to LSTC, this year’s honorees exemplify courage, service, creativity, innovation, and leadership.
While the complexity of our globalized trading systems is reflected in today’s migrations, that complexity is often missing in the responses offered by many of our world leaders, including the narrow and fear-based rhetoric of many current presidential hopefuls.
Theological reflection is desperately needed to imagine alternative ways to engage our increasingly interconnected world. Our sacred stories, most of which speak to experiences of people on the move, offer us wisdom, hope, and imagination as we seek to find faithful ways to respond to those who are on the move. How might the story of Abraham and Sarah’s journey—which they undertook with “no papers,” with nothing but faith to show for their hope—shape the way we see the hopes of those seeking opportunities in new lands? How might the awareness of Jesus’ early displacement in fear of Herod, Ruth and Naomi’s journeys across seemingly insurmountable physical and cultural boundaries, or Esther’s use of a false identity in order to survive shape the way we think about the millions of people on the move all around the world today? Might we hear the Canaanite woman’s challenge to Jesus echoed in the actions of those who migrate out of a conviction that they, too, deserve at least the crumbs that fall from our increasingly globalized table?
These stories do not dictate specific policies we are to enact, but they do challenge us, as the Bible often does, to be guided in our actions by the knowledge that migration is at the core of our own story. Repeatedly throughout the Hebrew Bible, we are given a “hermeneutical key,” a set of lenses by which we are to understand the world: remember that you were strangers in Egypt. Similarly, when speaking about the essence of faith and those who exemplify it, Hebrews 11 tells us that they all “knew themselves to be foreigners and strangers on the earth” (Hebrews 11:13). Migration is also at the core of the sacred stories of many other religious traditions. For example, Siddhārtha Gautama, the prince who becomes the Buddha, begins his path to enlightenment by traveling around his kingdom. Also, the prophet Mohamed’s return from exile to Mecca is traced back as one of the pillars of Islam. Given that so many of our sacred stories speak into the reality of migration, what might they say to our world on the move?
California’s ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity points to the way the whole nation is going—therefore doing theology in this context is as important today as it was at the time of PSR’s founding. Perspective matters as we do this work from our campus on Holy Hill. On the Scenic Avenue side of the PSR campus, we have a view of the Port of Oakland—one of the busiest container ports in the United States. On the Arch Street side, we can see the Golden Gate Bridge—a symbol of our connectedness to the world. Our theological reflection takes place in this context of intersections.

This pair of glasses, in cat eye design, is made of hypoallergenic plastic material. The frame features glossy and hand polished finish. On the corner of the front rim, a purple artificial gem is surrounded by many inset shiny rhinestones that seems like a delicate flower. The integrated design brings a comfortable fit.
I absolutely love these! I get so many compliments on them. They fit and look so perfect. I have a friend who is ordering them now and putting her prescription in.
It's always a gamble buying something like glasses online, but I was super pleased by the fit and style. Very flattering. Further, quality packaging and customer service. Don't hesitate if you are considering a pair.
These glasses are really nice.
These glasses are really nice. Just what I wanted. Very stylish and I received a lot of compliments. For the price these were definitely a steal.

BOSTON, MA – The University of Maine at Presque Isle Men’s Soccer Team (2-6-1) would win earn a weekend sweep as the blanked Wheelock College (0-8) and came away with a 4-0 victory.
Sophomore Cody Blair would end up with a hat trick in the first half. His fist was unassisted in the fifth minute, while his second was in the 18th minute with the assist going to Brandon Danforth In the 23rd minute it was Mohamud Abukar who set up Blair with his third goal, and the game would go to intermission with the Owls leading 3-0.
In the second half the Owls defense would stand strong. UMPI would actually split this game between two different keepers. AJ Dolley would keep the Wildcats silent in the first half, while Matthew Manter‘s three saves in the second half would seal the shutout. Derek Healy would ice the game away in the 81st minute, and the Owls would go on to win 4-0.

text: The Wine Advocate - It is interesting how this wine continues to evolve. Unquestionably one of the vintage's superstars, the 1995 Petrus is taking on a personality similar to the extraordinarily backward, muscular 1975. This is not a Petrus that can be approached in its youth (i.e., the perfect duo of 1989 and 1990). The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by a knock-out nose of pain grille, jammy black fruits, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it possesses teeth-staining extract levels, massive body, and rich, sweet black fruits buttressed by powerful, noticeable tannin. A formidably endowed wine with layers of extract, this is a huge, tannic, monstrous-sized Petrus that will require a minimum of 10 years of cellaring. Forget all the nonsense about Merlot producing sweet, soft, ready to drink wines, because low yielding, old Merlot vines made in the way of Petrus and other top Pomerols frequently possess as much aging potential as any great Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine in the world. Look for the 1995 Petrus to last for 50+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050.

Ranked No. 6 among global contract manufacturing and services outsourcing players of the pharmaceutical industry, Jubilant Life Sciences (NSE: JUBILANT) is a provider of Custom Research and Manufacturing Services. Headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, the company has a Market cap of Rs 1,889 crores.
The Nexus of forces: Social networking, mobile computing, analytics and cloud computing, are the latest technology trends, transforming the way people and businesses relate to Information Technology. The trend has become popular over the last few years, since the elements together symbolize desirable, future end-state for IT applications.
It is interesting to understand how one concept can rescue businesses from becoming obsolete with its quadruple mix of elements and at the same time be the reason for businesses failing miserably. Even NASSCOM opines same as people who are pro ‘Nexus of forces’ with their predictions that Indian IT vendors are poised to generate $225 billion potential revenue in these technologies by 2020. This NASSCOM prediction is on the underlying fact that the Indian IT market is now quite mature to introduce ‘Nexus of forces’ suite of technologies; which are essential to take the industry and businesses to the corresponding level.
Also known as the “Trend fusion”, these technology applications have become a rave because of the credible value propositions for both end-users in the businesses and the IT industry as well. Now that it is quickly becoming a part of the Indian IT story, it is more than essential for companies to have a vision of designing processes and applications which can make the most of the combination of the troublesome elements over the next few years to alter the way technology works within businesses.
CIOs play the most important role in embracing these technologies. They are the ones who can effectively migrate from the already functional model to the new technology scene all along ensuring that important enterprise processes remain sacrosanct. The journey from current IT architecture to this new model is a rigorous journey which involves full participation of CIOs to consider the disruptive technologies in combination to work in favor of the company’s IT structure. This fusion of trends though powerful for many businesses, can at times turn out to be a catastrophe as well. Therefore, CIOs should ensure that each element within the enterprise might be at different stages of maturity, which in turn could be on separate tangents as well, making the adoption of new concept on the whole very tricky.
A pharmaceutical company can reap tremendous benefits by implementing these technology trends and by gradually making it core of its IT landscape. It is imperative for pharmaceutical companies to connect with their key stakeholders like customers, healthcare providers, regulators, governments and the society at large in an improved, efficient manner and on a regular basis. In the backdrop where Quality and regulatory concerns could also lead to greater US FDA scrutiny in future, Pharma companies need to enhance their compliance applications in tune with the global guidelines. It will, in the long run, also offer them the competitive advantage in the market. A visionary CIO will always evaluate the emerging technologies and will implement the ones that will help mitigate risks of obsolete technologies and will be fruitful in achieving a sustainable and compliant long-term growth.
The impact of technology is seen when the latest technologies are integrated into the workplace with strategy in mind. Taking cue from the progress of these future trends, at Jubilant Life Sciences, we have started technology implementation in Cloud Computing and Mobility. We have already initiated some of the applications based on these technology platforms. Analytics is a big area of focus for us and hence we have already commenced evaluation of products available in the market and are doing proof of concepts.
Numerous industries all across the world have utilized Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud as individual elements as well in combination and have seen stupendous results. The decision to utilize and capitalize on this trend is now left to CIOs who are the best judges to decide whether or not, it would work in their organization, given the IT setup.

Don’t let the name The Woodlands fool you.
Yes, it is beautifully developed with plenty of trees and greenbelts but The Woodlands is part of the Houston area and it is usually bustling with human activity.
After Hurricane Harvey’s torrential rains hit the area last weekend, wildlife from the local forests started to invade the neighborhoods.
Jon Joslin captured this footage of a massive wild boar that came trotting through the yard as if it owned the place.
This is exactly what we warned would happen in an earlier entry explaining that the Houston area has a massive feral hog and coyote population that floodwaters would reveal.
Texas’ feral hog population estimates are in the three million range with some believing that is very conservative. Feral hogs have officially become the most harvested game animal in Texas with more than 750,000 taken by hunters and trappers. That is more than 150,000 above the state’s annual whitetail harvest and Texas has by far the largest deer harvest in the nation.
Feral hogs despite their reputation are not out to get people-well at least most of them aren’t.
Scientists have recently uncovered a profile of killer hogs-yes those that kill people and we reported on it here.
You might now want to read that one before going to bed-or a camping trip. Yeah, its kind of creepy.
Most hogs however want to be left alone but animals stressed by being displaced in a flood situation just might be more prone to lashing out than one you see while taking a stroll on your favorite hiking trail.
Even sows (females) can be aggressive. Sows with young are particularly testy.
By all means do not feed any hogs you see in the area. Habituating them to your property is a bad idea at every level. Even in the best case scenario your yard will look like someone plowed it for agriculture.
As the human tragedy of Hurricane Harvey continues to unfold, displaced wildlife will be encountered by thousands.
The best play is to stay a safe distance, especially in the case of hogs.
That way you and the hog can stay out of trouble.

Fed-up residents have snapped drivers vainly trying to bypass a frustrating road closure in Yeovil.
Motorists ignoring road closed signs on Thorne Lane are ending up in people's driveways, according to those who live there.
Thorne Lane has been closed from Western Avenue to Larkhill Road while Wessex Water carries out main replacement work, and a new roundabout is linked up to the road.
The closure began on Monday (January 8) and will continue until March leaving Yeovil's road system seriously congested, particularly during rush hours.
This has led some drivers to believe they can slip through the road works, and sneak around the mayhem in other parts of the town.
They have been driving past the "road closed" signs in the hope that they will able to get through.
But there is no way through, as the road has been fenced off, and they are having to turn around in the narrow street.
One local resident has had enough of the drivers trying their luck, before using local driveways to turn around.
She snapped vehicles turning in the road on Saturday, January 13.
Traffic heading to watch Yeovil Town take on Premier League giants Manchester United on Friday January 26 will benefit from a special events team working to ease disruption, according to the town’s MP.
Yeovil’s MP, Marcus Fysh, said he has met with the leader of Somerset County Council, David Fothergill, to see what can be done to help travelling fans.
Mr Fysh said a special events team is being prepared to tackle any traffic problems.

Consequences Losing Tax-Exempt | TaxConnections is a where to find leading tax experts and tax resources worldwide.
When a church or religious organization loses its tax-exempt status, the obvious consequences are that donations to the organizations can no longer be deducted by donors. In addition, loss of tax-exempt status means that the organization is subject to federal and state income taxes on its net income. That last statement is not quite as bad as it sounds, though because the tax is on net income, not the gross. Most such organizations tend to spend most, if not all, of their income on programs and infrastructure. Therefore, there would be little or no net income and no income tax to pay.
There are numerous other consequences involved with losing one’s tax-exempt status that can affect the organization significantly.
These negative consequences can be classified into four categories. The first of these relates to tax issues beyond income taxes. If a church loses its tax-exempt status, it could lose its property tax exemption, sales tax exemption, and unemployment tax (or reemployment tax if you’re in Florida) exemption.
The second category relates to the church and its privileged status in terms of a number of laws that churches and religious organizations are currently exempted from. Their status under local zoning laws could be affected. Such organizations are also often given special dispensation in regards to zoning whereas a for-profit business would not be allowed to operate in that location. In addition, there are preferential mailing rates which could be affected. Churches and religious organizations are currently exempt from the ban on religious discrimination laws and is exempt from public accommodation provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Both of these could be affected. Nondiscrimination rules regarding various fringe benefits would apply to churches and religious organizations losing their exempt status.
The third category relates to other laws that carve out a privilege for churches and religious organizations. They would no longer be eligible to establish or maintain a 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity. They would also lose their exemption from registration of securities under state laws. Some churches and religious organizations do have bond issues, so these would now have to be registered. The Church Audit Procedures Act contains a number of protections for churches and these would no longer apply. Exemptions under state charitable solicitation laws would also be affected.
Finally, loss of tax-exempt status by the church or religious organization could have a negative impact on its ministers as they would likely not be eligible for a housing allowance nor could the minister opt out of social security and Medicare as they would presumably no longer be receiving earnings in a ministerial capacity.
These negative factors would turn the operations of these organizations upside down, as these are far-reaching and could prove to be quite expensive. Churches and other tax-exempt organizations should be vigilant about maintaining their tax-exempt status.

The Poly World Trading Center Serviced Apartment (Baoli Shimao Guoji Gongyu Jiudian) is situated on the south bank of the Pearl River within easy reach of the Pazhou exhibition center and 35 km (28 mi) from the new Baiyun international airport.
During the exhibition, cost-effective hotel, apartment facilities but on business use, hotel underground car park charges are lethal.
Location is not good, it was very close to Pavilion around, so the exhibition is well worth this. Pazhou, but not too busy, so eating less is bruising around, well, at least there is a family, eating a midnight snack is not a problem. Facilities are very good, washing machines and refrigerators, facilitate the Visitor's needs.
Hotels in poly, and this building has many hotels, room service are the same, earlier a lot cheaper. very nice, worthy of recommendation.
Surrounding isn't noisy. only a person for participation in trade fairs. washing with drying, great!
Is good, is not convenient for upper and lower floors, just to give a room card, had to call the front desk on the first floor floor magnetic card reader to other colleagues.
From the Pavilion close, very convenient.
Not many places to eat around.
From the show's position is close to exhibition is also more convenient. room was pretty clean, hotel staff service attitude can. are not good eating place nearby, underground food, bad environment.
Good in every way, is parking at their own expense?
Well, Aparthotel, complete equipment, washing machines and microwave ovens and other kitchen appliances, decoration is OK, maybe not during the Canton trade fair, cost-effective.

Sounds like a Police State, where no conviction is needed, when the THUGS in Government Seize your property, sell it and cut up the proceeds for vote grabbing propaganda.
.Accused bicycle thief Igor Kenk is still a long way from justice on dozens of criminal charges, but that isn't stopping the Ontario government from moving to take ownership of his bike repair shop, pickup trucks and 2,292 bicycles seized in police raids across west-end Toronto last summer.
On Monday, Mr. Kenk will be hauled into court in handcuffs to face a forfeiture hearing under the Civil Remedies Act, a controversial law that allows the province to seize and sell property deemed to be connected to crime, regardless of whether its owner has been criminally convicted or even charged. If government lawyers can link Mr. Kenk's property to the “large-scale organized bicycle theft ring and drug distribution network” police have accused him of operating, the province stands to rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars, court documents suggest, based on the $700,000 value Mr. Kenk placed on his shop site, on a trendy stretch of Queen Street West, last year.

The world’s leading food service retailer, McDonald’s, is set to open its first restaurant in Hanoi.
The information was revealed by an officer of Good Day Hospitality Joint Stock Company, McDonald’s developmental licensee for Vietnam.
However, the date for the opening of this first restaurant in Hanoi was not disclosed.
Launched in Vietnam in February 2014, McDonald’s Vietnam currently has 16 restaurants, all in Ho Chi Minh City.
The plan to expand its operation to Hanoi was prepared by Good Day Hospitality in early 2016, after its annual growth rate was doubled from 2014. However, till date, there are no McDonald’s restaurants in Hanoi or northern provinces.
At a recent human resources conference, Good Day Hospitality’s general director Nguyen Bao Hoang reiterated that his company is recruiting many talented young people to realise the expansion plan. Hoàng also confirmed that McDonald’s Vietnam will expand to the capital city and the northern markets in the future.
The building on No 2 Hang Bai Street, Hoan Kiem district, expected to be the location of the first McDonald’s restaurant in Hanoi, has an area of 697sq.m and is located in the centre of the city, near Returned Sword Lake.
McDonald’s offers unique experiences for Vietnamese consumers, such as drive-thru parking, 24-hour operation and a McCafé professional coffee shop located right inside the restaurant.

Mediation is a growing area which offers a quick and relatively inexpensive way of resolving disputes over traditional litigation. Around 80% of cases are settled at a one day mediation. A mediation settlement is agreed by the parties rather than imposed by the courts.
A skilled mediator can help the parties to settle the dispute by focusing on the issues that are important to them, finding common ground between the parties and taking the heat out of any dispute.
Dominic Stanger is a skilled mediator who has been praised for his “open and engaging style”. Dominic has experience of mediating a variety of different types of dispute and can advise as to the suitability of a dispute for mediation. As a surveyor mediator he is especially suited to property disputes, particularly in a landlord/tenant or neighbour scenario, where the parties will continue to deal with each other after the dispute has been settled. Our central Manchester offices provide a neutral venue for a full/half day mediation.

Statistics might seem like a boring topic to some, but that’s only because we don’t fully appreciate the role it plays in our lives. Statistics are useful and even critical in determinations as mundane as our car insurance rates and as noticeable as the timing of the stop lights that regulate traffic flow.
Those who specialize in statistics already know the importance of collecting and analyzing data for decision making. And as Big Data becomes a bigger part of our world, the role of statistics also grows, as does the need for trained professionals who know how to use SAS software for maximum benefit. In fact, a 2016 study found that SAS skills were determined to be the most important, topping a list of 21 skills considered by employers to be the most valuable in today’s job market.
If you’ve added SAS to your skill set and you’re preparing for a job interview during which these skills will be discussed, read on for a primer on preparing for SAS interview questions.
During your job interview, you will want to showcase your knowledge of analytics techniques using the SAS data science tool. However, SAS questions could get quite granular. If your interviewer asks you something as specific as, “How do you delete duplicate observations in SAS?”, you’ll need to think through the actual steps which might be hard to do unless you’re in front of a computer. For that reason, you might also want to be prepared to show your understanding of the software as a tool used by data analysts who play a role that’s a unique blend of science, IT and business.
SAS stands for Statistical Analysis System and it’s used for data analysis and reporting. More specifically, it’s an integrated suite of software used to store and retrieve data values, modify that data, compute simple and complex statistical analyses, and create reports. SAS is a leader in the enterprise analytics space because it offers a huge array of statistical functions, it has a user-friendly interface, and it has good technical support. It is used for economic analysis, forecasting, financial modeling and reporting, time series analysis and manipulation of time series data, and many other critical data-based tasks that drive business decisions.
Question 2: Why does a data scientist need to know SAS?
A data scientist using SAS has a unique role that combines an understanding of both data and IT, as well as how each fits into bigger business goals. SAS enables enterprises to use business intelligence and predictive analytics to discover underlying patterns and trends, and be more scientific when making business decisions.
Question 3: What do you like about SAS as an analytics tool?
SAS is so powerful that it can understand any type of data and access data from any software and any format. A logical operation can also be performed in SAS by using if-then statements. SAS runs all statements in a loop, step by step, and executes very quickly.
Question 4: How does SAS compare with other data analytics tools?
SAS releases updates in a controlled environment after extensive testing, making it more stable.
Question 5: What is your experience with SAS?
To answer this question, you should explain your training, any certifications, and your hands-on experience, whether that’s experience gained through a previous job or as part of your SAS training and certification. You will want to show that you are an expert in analytics techniques using the SAS software and that you know how to apply data manipulation and optimization techniques, advanced statistical concepts like clustering, linear regression and decision trees, data analysis methods, predictive modeling techniques, and any other SAS knowledge you think should be highlighted to your advantage during the interview.
Question 6: What are the components of the SAS software suite?
With over 200 components, you won’t be able to list off all 200, but you should be able to name some of the more important and most-used programs that make up the SAS software suite, or those you’re most familiar with.
Question 7: What is PROC SQL?
Part of SAS, PROC SQL is for users who already know SQL, giving them SQL functionality in the SAS environment. It combines the functionality of DATA (for recovering and manipulating data) and PROC (for interpreting data) steps so you can sort, summarize, subset, merge, or concatenate datasets; create new variables, or create a new table or view all in one step.
Question 8: Explain different ways of combining and modifying datasets.
Show the interviewer that you know the various techniques for combining and modifying datasets like concatenation, interleaving, one-to-one merging and reading. You might also want to discuss the various SAS functions and procedures for data manipulation to show your depth of knowledge.
Question 9: When would you use SAS macros?
SAS macros are pieces of code that are coded once and referenced repeatedly to perform repetitive tasks. The SAS macro language is a versatile, useful tool. It’s used for faster data manipulation and for reducing the amount of regular SAS code required for analytics. In that way, it facilitates passing information from one procedure to another. You can also use macros to write flexible and dynamic SAS programs.
SAS is a software suite with many different components, functions, and uses. Therefore we can’t predict the specific questions you’ll be asked during a SAS job interview. Each business will have their own specific data science needs and questions. Be prepared to demonstrate your knowledge of SAS but more importantly your understanding of the role data science and analytics can play in making data-based business decisions using a tool like SAS.
If reading through this article on SAS interview questions has you a little unsure about your ability to answer these questions with enough knowledge, or if you would like your credentials to look more formidable before you apply for that first SAS job, consider getting certified with SAS Certification Training. You will learn how to answer all of the questions above plus countless more, you’ll grow confident in your SAS skills and knowledge, and you’ll get hands-on experience that might give you the edge over other applicants applying for the same data analytics job.

Nuclear inspectors have recorded a significant increase in radiation in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, after wildfires tore through forest near the devastated nuclear power station.
Radiation recordings in the Polesskoye settlement, which was abandoned after the 1986 nuclear reactor explosion, show air contaminated with 10 times the normal levels of deadly cesium-137, The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine announced.
Cesium-137 is one of the most dangerous elements released in a nuclear explosion, and can cause leukemia after accumulating in the body.
The agency said that the radiation released so far in the fire posed no danger yet to those living near the exclusion zone.
"In other words, the data available from the existing systems monitoring the radiation situation in the exclusion zone and adjoining territories indicate the changes in the basic parameters of the radiation situation, except for those in the fire-affected areas, do not exceed the levels acceptable in the given territories. In Kiev, the radiation level is at the level of the natural background," the watchdog said, reports Russian state news agency Itar Tass.
Keith Baverstock, a former health and radiation adviser at the World Health Organisation, said that the Cesium-137 would only be a serious danger if the wind direction changed to blow the chemical in the direction of the closest population centres, and further afield.
Ukranian capital Kiev lies only 132 km (82m) downwind of the current blaze, and Minsk, capital of Belarus, 342 km (213 m) north-west. The surrounding region is now largely deserted after the Soviet government resettled 116,000 people in the wake of the disaster.
"The real problem would be if the wind strength increased and fire got out of control. If there are very strong winds and they were blowing from east to west – as does happen in summer – it could be a risk to Europe," he said.
Baverstock said that in the wake of the disaster, Cesium-137 was absorbed into the soil, and from, there into organic matter including tree bark and leaves. In forest fires, the chemical can be released into the atmosphere again, and can cause cancer to those who inhale it, or enter the food chain if ingested by animals.
Reports indicated that the fire is currently some distance from the main reactor, which is covered by a crumbling concrete dome, or the Red Forest, the 10 km zone around the reactor, believed to be one of the most radioactively contaminated areas in the world.
The wildfire tore through 130 hectares on Tuesday June 30, Ukrainian authorities said. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine said it deployed 117 firefighters and 24 units of equipment to bring the blaze under control. Baverstock said that emergency services would likely be equipped with specialist breathing equipment when tackling the blaze.
In the immediate wake of the blaze, Ukrainian authorities said that radiation levels at the site had not changed, AFP reported.
In May, a wild fire in the area spread across 400 hectares, but authorities claimed there was no serious spike in radiation.
A 20 mile (30km) exclusion zone was imposed around Chernobyl in the wake of the 1986 disaster.

Traffic between Britain and the northern Pacific Coast was sufficient for the Hudson's Bay Company to employ one medium-sized sailing ship on regular voyages. At the time the development of the Nanaimo mine was being mooted this ship was the Norman Morison, built in 1846 at Moulmein, Burma and bought by the Company in 1848. She was barque rigged, 564 tons, 119.5" in length, 26.8' in width and 20'4" in depth. It was the last-mentioned which was her undoing, for when she was fully loaded her draft was too great for the shallow, muddy harbour at Fort Victoria. It proved necessary for her to put into Esquimalt harbour for part of her cargo to be off-loaded into smaller ships or transported to the Fort overland by a narrow, muddy trail through the forest to the harbour narrows at Limit Point, which had been bridged by the Company in 1848, and thence a short distance down the eastern shore of the harbour. Hence although she made three voyages from Britain, arriving in February 1851, June 1852 and August 1853, bringing with her some of Victoria's most famous pioneers, she was only moderately successful in the Company's business.
Hudson's Bay House was soon informed of the problem of draught. Additionally, the Company was considering the development of a British market for large-sized spars, which could be obtained in quantity near Fort Rupert. Norman Morison, by her type of construction, was not suited for transporting spars. The Company therefore decided to replace her, and cast around for a better design for their purpose.
They found what they sought in a highly successful line of ship which had been developed originally by Green & Sons of Blackwall, London, and hence were known as Blackwall Frigates. These had been proven to be fast, maneuverable and equally suitable for carrying passengers or cargo. In fact, one of their prime uses had been the transporting of convicts to Australia and the bringing back of the Colony's produce on their return voyages.
Tenders were called for construction of a ship of this type, and in July, 1853, the tender of Messrs. Money, Wigram & Sons of Blackwall was accepted. The ship, to be called Princess Royal, was to cost £10,200. In a letter to Sir George Simpson & council of the Northern Department of Rupert's Land, dated 5th April, 1854, Hudson's Bay House explained that at present there was no guaranteed market for large spars in Britain, and some doubts of profits on the outbound cargo of a ship sent to fetch them, but ". . . With a view however of testing the market here, and of being prepared for operations on a large scale should that be deemed expedient, we have, in constructing the Princess Royal, which is to replace the Norman Morison made provision for her taking in spars of a large size, with which we intend that any room there may be over and above that required for furs shall be filled up . . ."
The Princess Royal was larger than the Norman Morison, being 613 tons, 145.0' in length, 29.5' in width and 18.2' in depth.
The Norman Morison was sold by the Company in 1853. On 21st April, 1854, the Secretary of the Hudson's Bay Company in London, W.G. Smith, wrote to inform Chief Factor Douglas that the Princess Royal was to sail in May. Although there were still to be delays, arrangements for the voyage were taking their final form.

text: Abstract Satellite image archives provide a wealth of valuable historical data that can be used to assess changes in the environment, but extracting high quality information can be costly and time consuming if we restrict the interpretation to experienced image analysts. We attempt to reduce these limitations by crowd sourcing the interpretation process via a web based digitizing system based entirely on open source tools. This approach can lower project costs by eliminating the cost of office space and equipment for the analyst, as well as allowing flexible working hours and locations. The challenge with this approach is to ensure that the quality of the interpretation remains high. Within the context of a project to model historical iceberg occurrences off the coast of Greenland, this talk will discuss the methods we have implemented for quality control while providing training and feedback to our analysts from an interpretation expert. The business case for this approach will also be discussed, including the risks and rewards of paying interpreters for each correct feature digitized. In our case we were able to quickly and accurately interpret several hundred images resulting in the measurement of tens of thousands of features. By using cloud based image archives and client/server strategies, this approach can be economically scaled up to much larger projects.
