Interregnum Final Debate
Join the rest of campus to explore a challenging theme in performances, competitions, and debates throughout the year.
What is Interregnum?
One of the most compelling traditions at The King's College is our annual Interregnum, an all-campus conference that encompasses a year's worth of theme exploration. Interregnum unites students, faculty, and staff through participation in various events, including a performing arts competition, parliamentary-style debates, and an evening assembly featuring a notable speaker.

Interregnum XVII: Reconciliation
In the midst of division and conflict, Christians are called to be ministers of Reconciliation. However, without careful examination of this idea and its implementation, we risk pursuing quick-and-easy solutions at the expense of true unity and peace. Can we be honest about our shortcomings and sins without losing hope in restoration? What does repentance look like? How can we pursue forgiveness while also advocating justice? As we wrestle with these difficult questions, let us continue to trust a God who promises the Reconciliation of all things to Himself through the sacrifice of His Son

Welcome to Wood100
The healthiest, most sustainable home
Wood100 was invented in Austria by Erwin Thoma over 20 years ago and heralded a new era of quality wood home construction. The patented Wood100 construction method - layers of solid woodconnected with wooden dowels to thicknesses of up to 40cm - uses no glue or other chemical pollutants. The solid wood panels are assembled into interioor walls, floors and ceilings, roof structures and exterior walls and results in a healthy natural shell surrounding the occupants of the home.
Homes can be prone to noise pollution, fire, radiation pollution, earthquake, flood, mould, unhealthy air quality and inefficient insulation. Instead of pollution filled chemicals and adhesives, our houses are made as a solid wood shell. Layers of wood connected with wooden pegs are assembled into solid wood panels designed for interior walls, floors and ceilings, roof structures and exterior walls.
The resulting indestructible solid wooden blocks are highly water resistant and perform better than other construction methods in heat insulation, fire security, radiation shielding, earthquake safety and have 100% protection against condensation and mould growth.
Why does it matter?
An appreciation of the standard of solid wood ancient buildings, coupled with a strong environmental concern for cradle to cradle building and our mission to build the healthiest home lie behind our product.
Temples in Japan over 1600 years old are wooden buildings with wooden peg connectors. These buildings have outlasted storms and earthquakes proving the effectiveness of wood to wood connections and solid wood construction. Thoma Wood100 is such a solid wood construction system.

Conversation Lifecycle
See also Bug 789078.
Geary is currently somewhat inconsistent and incomplete in how it lets people manage the lifecycle and labelling of conversations. This is in part due due to trying to fit the conversation model to both IMAP and GMail, and part due to feature growth over the years. We should tidy this up to make it both consistent and complete.
Based on some notes I made, conversations seem to exist in two different finite state machines — one that covers labelling of conversations, i.e. conversations that should be kept, and one that covers the overall conversation lifecycle. States sometimes represent mailboxes, but sometimes are an abstract state, and the transitions between these states define the actions that people might want to take. These actions should be made available to people as high-level UI items, and Geary should manage the implications of the actions under the hood.
Use cases:
 1. Alice has a conversation with both sent and received messages in the Inbox that she has finished with. She wants it out of the Inbox so she hits Archive.
 2. Bob receives a work message, so labels it as Work but stays in the Inbox. On completing the important task, he wants it out of the Inbox so he hits Archive, but wants it to remain labelled as Work.
 3. Charlie has an elaborate hierarchy of mailboxes and wants to move a received message in the Inbox to one of these.
 4. Dave receive the same spam message twice and wants to move both to the Junk folder.
 5. Erin replies to a mailing list message early on but loses interest in the conversation later as it goes off topic. Earlier messages (including her sent messages) are archived but she wants latter messages to be moved to the trash.
_URL_
Labelling FSM
In the IMAP model, labelling corresponds to copying, not moving.
States:
 - Inbox
 - Archive
 - User defined mailboxes
Transitions
These operate only on messages in the current folder for the conversation, not other messages.
Archive
Move messages from Inbox to the Archive folder, without removing from other mailboxes
Move
Move messages from the current mailbox to the selected destination, without removing from other mailboxes
Copy
Copy message from the current mailbox to the selected destination
Restore
Move messages from current mailbox to Inbox, without removing from other mailboxes
Archive isn't available from other mailboxes, since other mailboxes aren't considered final states (Except for use case #3, and then people won't want to archive the message anyway). It might not make sense to only support Copy from Archive and not Move, for the same reason.
Note: This currently doesn't let users partially or completely unlabel messages without moving them to Inbox. Maybe we need a "Remove all Labels" action that removes all labels leaves them in Archive if there already or moves them back to the Inbox otherwise? Or else maybe Restore should actually do just that?
Lifecycle FSM
States:
 - [Normal] (Any conversation in the FSM above)
 - Draft
 - Trash
 - Junk
 - [Deleted]
Transitions/Actions
These operate on all messages in the conversations, including those in Sent.
Trash
Move the conversation to the trash
Junk
Move the conversation to the Junk
Restore
Restore all messages to their previous states/folders (difficult to implement)
Delete
Permanently deletes all messages in the conversation
Note: This definition of Trash doesn't work with use case #5 - all messages will be deleted, including those sent and already archived.
User Experience
Both conversations and messages should be tagged with their current mailboxes. Messages with the individual mailboxes they belong to, and conversations with the union of all tags, except Sent and Archive. See Bug 713027.
A conversation's current state defines what UI is presented to the user when it is selected. E.g. in the Archive state these actions should be available: Restore, Copy, Move, Trash, Junk.
Archive and Trash are primary action for conversations in the Inbox and so they should probably be emphasised and easily activated via the UI.
The Restore action is the only primary action for most other states, and hence that should be similarly emphasised, although implementing this properly will be tricky, e.g. to ensure that sent mail in the conversation is restored to Sent, and received mail in the conversation is restored to whatever other mailbox(es) it was in.
The mock-up below shows what different toolbars/actionbars might lookup under this scheme for various folders:
_URL_
These correspond to the following folders:
 1. Inbox
 2. Archive/user-defined folders
 3. Drafts
 4. Trash
 5. Junk
Trash uses an icon rather than a text label since linked buttons with different label types looks pretty inconsistent.
Sent isn't shown, but would be similar to (1) or (2) but without a primary action button or Junk button.
Notes
Still to be defined is how these actions apply to individual messages in the conversation. E.g. Should Trash move just the messages in the current mailbox to the Trash (as at the moment), or all messages (e.g. including any in Sent?).
Also need to work out how well this fits wit GMail (e.g. Bug 712963
Feedback
Comments welcome, either below here or on the mailing list.

twenty-foot equivalent unit series
Drawing on industrial music from the 1980s – containerisation caused the demise of London's many docks and the surrounding deindustrialisation that followed provided the raw material for the birth of a political sonic reaction – Hellier has recorded percussive and resonant encounters with these familiar steel boxes. Using high sample-rate recordings and ambisonics, they reveal the hidden stories. Evoking the ghosts of their contents and journeys, each vessel resonates differently, depending on its (unidentified) load and undisclosed history but also echos of that industrial music. The soundtrack contains fragments from Test Dept, Hellier attended a gig at the Albany by the band in 1984 during the height of the miners strike, supported by a welsh male voice choir. An attempt to make aural the anger felt at the time of immense social change.
The (mostly male) phenomenon of 'container ship spotting' makes up the visual source material for these distorted journeys. The title references both the universal system used to describe cargo capacity for intermodal containers (the twenty-foot Equivalent Unit being 1 TEU) as well as the modular sculptures of infamous America Minimalist sculptor, Carl Andre. The overall effect of Hellier's work is a haunting sonic and visual experience, which evokes a sense of the uncomfortable and encourages the viewer to reflect on 21st-century displacement and the unending 'trafficking' of goods – material and people – around the world.

cool completely and will have to be restarted according to the Traegers Initial Firing Instructions. According to Traegers Owners Manual, this means removing baffle, drip tray, and grill plates. Youll want those to be cool before you remove them.
Having to wait until the grill and the components cool completely before firing it back up means that your brisket will have to sit there for several hours. This could permit the growth of harmful bacteria.
Are Wood Chips And Wood Pellets The Same Thing
No, they are not. Physically wood pellets are smooth and have a cylindrical or a capsule-like shape, while wood chips are rough and irregular.
In terms of burning, wood pellets burn slowly and create a hot environment while wood chips burn rapidly, giving out intense smoke.
Other features show that wood pellets and wood chips arent the same things you will notice the difference as you read on.

What Temperature Do You Cook Fish On A Pellet Grill
While this will vary depending on the fish youre cooking and your recipe, but if you just want to grill your fish, turn up the heat. Set your pellet grill to a temperature of 350F and wait for it to reach temperature before you add your fish.
If you want to smoke your fish, then smoking rules apply set the temperature low, at about 225F, and allow your fish to cook for 1-3 hours until it reaches the desired texture.
How Does A Pellet Grill Work Good Tips And Guides In 2021
Pellet grills are a great way to enjoy amazing smoked flavor and juicy meats in the comfort of your own backyard. Pellet grills work by using a hopper that is filled with wood pellets, which will then be heated up and burnt down until they turn into ash. The ash creates an intense heat for cooking your food, while also providing the necessary smoke flavoring.
This means you get delicious barbecue flavors without having to deal with tedious charcoal or gas setups! In this article, we will show How Does a Pellet Grill Work? Besides that, we provide some tips and guides on Using Pellet Grill. Read on!
1. What is Pellet Grill?
A Pellet Grill is an electric powered smoker that normally uses small compressed pieces of hardwood refills known as pellets to generate heat and smoke inside the oven which cooks food slowly at around 240°F 260°F .
Theres no direct flame or charcoal burned during the cooking process instead, temperature increases happen by means of convection hot air gets sent into the grill and heats up everything inside it.
2. A Brief History of Pellet Grills.
The first ever pellet grill was made during the 1990s by a company named Traeger as a solution to the challenge of cooking great tasting food with traditional smokers, which is often difficult to do because of bad weather or ash caused problems.
3. How Does a Pellet Grill Work?
4. What to Consider When Buying a Pellet Smoker?
If you are looking to buy a great smoker, consider considerations including:

Wood Pellets Vs Wood Chips
Why not just use wood chips instead of pellets? While wood chips are certainly an option, pellets carry their own set of advantages.
Wood chips are just what they sound likeactual pieces of hardwood that have been subjected to a wood chipper so theyre small and irregularly shaped. Unlike pellets, which contribute a steady stream of smoke, chips combust more quickly. This provides shorter, more intense bursts of flavor.
Because wood chips burn faster than pellets, youll probably go through more of them as you cook. This gives pellets the edge when it comes to convenience, not to mention cost-effectiveness. Wood pellets also burn hotter and at a steadier rate, making it easier to control the temperature of the cooking fire.
Different Flavor Different Pellet
Want hickory smoked pork chops? Mesquite salmon? With the Grilla smoker grill, we offer a built-in, quick-change pellet clean-out door under the pellet hopper. Simply place a bucket under your Grilla hopper, and open the trap door to release the pellets. You can add a new flavor with minimal effort!
Although we already offer a signature competition blend of premium wood pellets, feel free to experiment by combining your favorite flavors. For instance, try pecan and cherry or oak and apple. Part of the excitement of grilling using pellets is the ability to infuse your foods with subtle or intense flavors.

Trager Pro 780 Review
The first point that you could observe regarding the Traeger Pro 780 is the size. The number in the products name refers to its grilling surface area. The Traeger Pro 780 comes with 780 square inches for you to prepare.
Despite this size, this is still among the most convenient grills to establish up, considering its dimension. The grill includes the majority of it currently assembled for you, and also once you have done the little that continues to be for establishing, you can start feeding pellets as well as start food preparation.

Use Those Upper Racks
Not only do upper racks give you extra space inside your grill, but they also mean the meat youve placed on them is further from the heat source.
This means the meat is being cooked more by convection, rather than radiant heat, which offers a more even cook.
Utilize every space and rack you have, and youll also get more bang for your buck with the wood pellets you burn, as well as have a lot more food to go around!
What Do You Get In The Timberline And Ironwood Lines That You Dont Get In The Pro Line
Initially, all three lines look pretty similar.
All current Traeger models use their new D2 Direct Drive & WiFire control systems. They also all look pretty similar and have basically the same functions.
On all current models, you have a meat probe that just plugs into the front panel. This allows you to see the internal temperature of the meat on your mobile app.
All current models also have a magnetic door at the bottom of the hopper making cleanout a breeze.
And all models come with a 3-year warranty.
After that, as you move up the lines, the most notable differences are in hopper size and max cooking temp .
In each line, there is a large and small model. The small models in all 3 lines have a main cooking surface of 22×19. The large size increases that to 30x 19 in the Pro and Timberline lines but 34 in the Ironwood line.
However, there is a secondary cooking surface that is quite a bit larger in the Ironwood and Timberline models. The width, of course, is the same as the primary cooking surface for all large and small models. But on the Pro line, the depth of that secondary cooking surface is only 7 compared to 10.5 on the Ironwood and 14 on the Ironwood.
So that is a lot of extra cooking space!
When you move up to the Ironwood line, they add a gasket to the lid which helps keep more of the heat and smoke inside. Then the Timberline takes that further by making the whole grill double-walled for even better heat retention.

PETA has moved on from criticizing the fly-swatting Obama to taking on the obese.
Its latest billboard features a caricature of a blubbery woman in a bikini, with the wording: "Save the Whales – Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian.''
The Obesity Action Coalition, which proclaims itself as "the only obesity individual-focused organization'' - has taken offense.
It has encouraged its members to contact PETA. "Let PETA know the struggles faced by the obese are real, just as the struggles that are faced by animals who are victims or cruelty are real.''
In a press release, the OAC said: "With more than 93 million Americans affected by obesity, this type of unacceptable stigmatization of obese/overweight individuals has no place in today's society. Obese individuals are often stigmatized or discriminated against in a variety of areas, such as employment, school, healthcare and much more. The OAC finds obesity stigma to be extremely detrimental to the obese population as it furthers the all-too-frequent negative perceptions of the obese. The OAC demands PETA immediately end the campaign and remove the billboard from the public domain and the PETA Web site.''
I also might point out that manatees, among our most blubbery creatures, are vegetarians.

|MadSci Network: Zoology|
There are three different types of insects that lack wings. Immature insects never have wings because they have not developed yet. Most of these need only to feed and grow so the eggs are usually laid by the parent insect in an area where the growing larvae will have food. Wings either develop slowly as the immature insect grows (as in grasshoppers and other insects with incomplete development) or develop during a pupal stage (as in butterflies). The adult then has functioning wings, which allow it to disperse, mate and lay eggs in a new area.
Some primitive insects never had wings. These include such flightless insects as silverfish. None of the ancestors of these insects seem to have had wings.
Finally there are those insects that have secondarily lost wings or have reduced wing size to the point where that cannot fly. These include some grasshoppers, many parasitic insects (like lice and fleas), a number of beetles and even some moths (the bagworm for example). The ancestors of these insects had wings, but their ultimate life style did not require flight. Selection pressure then probably eliminated the ability to fly. In the case of parasitic insects at least, wings may even have been a major difficulty and were probably eliminated rather quickly. Wings would probably catch on the host's hairs or feathers and make it difficult to hide.
Borror, D. J., C. A. Triplehorn, and N. F. Johnson. 1989. An Introduction to the Study of Insects. Saunders College Publishing, Philadelphia.
A summary of the answer is that some insects don't have wings because
1. They are immature and do not need them yet.
2. Their ancestors never had wings.
3. They lost their wings because of the way in which they live (for example parasites).

Microsoft implements this Physical and Environmental Protection control
Name/Id: ACF1476 / Microsoft Managed Control 1476 Category: Physical and Environmental Protection Title: Fire Protection Ownership: Microsoft Description: The organization employs and maintains fire suppression and detection devices/systems for the information system that are supported by an independent energy source. Requirements: Azure has implemented fire protection by installing fire detection and fire suppression systems at the Azure datacenters. Azure datacenters implement robust fire detection mechanisms. The Azure fire protection approach includes the use of photoelectric smoke detectors installed below the floor and on the ceiling, which are integrated with the fire protection sprinkler system. Additionally, there are Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) systems in each colocation which monitor the air. VESDA units are highly sensitive air sampling systems installed throughout multiple high-value spaces. VESDA units allow for an investigative response prior to an actual fire detection alarm.
Pull station fire alarm boxes are installed throughout the datacenters for manual fire alarm notification. Fire extinguishers are located throughout the datacenters and are properly inspected, serviced, and tagged annually. The security staff patrols all building areas multiple times every eight (8) hour shift. The Critical Environments (CE) Team does a daily site walk-through checking on each room and many component parts in each non-monitored room ensuring all fire watch requirements are being met.
Areas containing sensitive electrical equipment (colocations, Main Distribution Frames (MDFs), etc.) are protected by double interlock pre-action (dry pipe) sprinkler systems. Dry pipe sprinklers are a two-stage pre-action system that requires both a sprinkler head activation (due to heat) as well as smoke detection to release water. The sprinkler head activation releases the air pressure in the pipes which allows the pipes to fill with water. Water is released when a smoke or heat detector is also activated.
Fire detection/suppression and emergency lighting systems are wired into the datacenter UPS and generator systems providing for a redundant power source.

Hold down two keys: "Power on" and "Volume up". Hold the buttons until the logo of the manufacturer or Android appears on the screen. a small green man, and the smartphone itself starts vibrating. Release the combination and go to a dialog box prompting you to choose one of the most satisfactory options.
Xiaomi and Meizu
To reset the settings on these devices, the use of two keys is also provided: "Power on" and "Volume up". Release the first button as soon as the manufacturer's logo appears.
Volume Down and Power buttons. Here you need to be careful: after the manufacturer's logo is displayed on the screen, release both buttons for exactly 1 second, and then hold them down again and hold until the system prompts you to enter Recovery mode.
The manufacturer decided to provide a rather original solution to the problem. The device must be connected to the power supply and wait for the green indicator to light up. Find the hole with the recessed "Reset" key, and carefully press it with a special paper clip. Wait for the moment when the display lights up, and press the "Power" button several times in a row. After releasing it, go to the volume control carriage and also press it several times from the side of increasing the sound.
What are factory settings and why reset them on Android?
The internal memory of Android is divided into separate segments, each of which performs a specific set of tasks. For example, one part is responsible for system files, the other is responsible for storing and processing data, the third is for temporary files, logs, etc. A factory reset is the removal of user data and programs, while the system registries remain intact. Technically speaking, this process involves formatting specific memory segments. At the same time, it is important to understand that in case of a failure in the operating system or after an unsuccessful flashing, restoring the normal operation of the smartphone, a rollback to the factory state will not help.
On the switched off device, still hold down two keys. "Power" and "Volume Down". When the menu appears, release the buttons and select the "Clear storage" option. Confirm the operation by pressing the "Volume UP" and "Power" keys.
Factory reset phone via computer
Very often, owners notice a deterioration in the performance of Android, but they begin to take action only when problems reach critical proportions, and the device itself stops responding to touches and commands. In any case, it is advisable to perform a reset using a computer. This formatting option is considered more complex and is intended for more advanced users.
The process can take a while, but most of it goes into installing the ADB utility. After the archive with the application is downloaded to the PC, you need to unpack it and make sure that the adb executable file is present in the "platform tools" folder. If the required file is missing, you will need to go to the "Android-sdk-Windows" folder and launch the "SDK Manager". Find "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" among the contents, and then download them to your computer.
After installing the "Android Debug Bridge", you can proceed directly to clearing all data on the mobile device. The step-by-step instruction assumes the following sequence of actions:
- On a PC, run the command line using the cmd command;
- On your smartphone, go to the "For Developers" section and activate the "Debugging via USB" option;
- Connect your device to your computer. To check the correctness of pairing, use the "adb devices" command;
- Go to ADB directory. To do this, enter the command "cd", and specify the path separated by a space;
- Enter "adb reboot recovery" into the line, but without quotes, and wait until the phone starts up in Recovery mode;
- Using the external function keys, enter the menu and sequentially select the options "wipe data / factory reset", and then "Reboot system now".
After the end of the operation, the device will automatically reboot and look like it was on the day of purchase.
Using the keys on the phone
Depending on the type of problem and the current state of the smartphone, the first option may not always be effective. The most acceptable option is to reset the settings using the physical buttons located on the body of the device. This method is used when loading:
- a logo in the form of a green man appears, hanging tightly on the screen;
- moving between menu options becomes problematic;
- pop-up notifications about errors in the operation of the operating system;
- display problems.
The main conditions for using this option are: a fully charged phone and serviceable external keys. To enter Recovery mode, you need to do the following:
- Press the "Power" button and wait until the smartphone turns off completely;
- While holding down two, at least three keys simultaneously, go to the main menu of the recovery mode;
- Select the option "wipe data / factory reset", "delete all user data" and then "Reboot system now".
To move between menu items use the volume control carriage, to select an option. the power key. Depending on the manufacturer, the key combination to be pressed may differ.
On the switched off smartphone, hold down two keys: "Volume control carriage" (in the center) and "Power", and hold them for 10 seconds. When the logo is highlighted, release the second button. After the appearance of the "Robot with gears", move the finger on the regulator carriage from the center to the top and wait until the green bar of the loading status is displayed.
Via the Android menu
The easiest and most accessible way even for inexperienced users to return the device to the pre-sale state is to reset the settings using the corresponding function built into the system. This option is relevant if the problems are not critical and the user has not lost access to menu items. In this case, you will need to do the following:
- Open the "Settings" section in any convenient way (through the menu, quick access panel, desktop);
- Go to the "Restore and reset" tab;
- Scrolling down the screen, select the "Reset settings" option (depending on the device model, the name may differ);
- The system will issue a warning that during the operation, all user data: personal information, applications and programs, settings, will be deleted;
- Confirm smartphone cleaning by pressing the "Reset all" button.
After completing the process, the device will match the appearance it had at the time of purchase.
The functionality of devices with the specified versions of the operating system has undergone some changes. Therefore, the "Reset settings" option can be found in the "Reset" tab, which is now in the "System" section.
A feature of the product of Chinese developers is the Flame OS operating system. Accordingly, resetting the settings on this platform is different than on Android. To perform the operation, you need to go to "Settings" → "About phone" → "Memory" → "Reset settings".
Hard reset Samsung smartphone via key combinations
Another way to clean your device is to use buttons. This method is carried out using Recovery. a special boot mode of the device, reminiscent of a text menu. Certain combinations allow you to open Task Manager, which cannot be found in normal settings.
Note! This method is usually used when the device freezes or stops turning on. For a regular update, data reset, it is better to use the methods described above.
How to Hard Reset Android Samsung? To begin with, turn off your mobile device, if it is turned on. Then you need to hold down certain key combinations:
- "Home" volume key "Volume up" button "Lock screen";
- If your mobile device has a Bixby key: Volume button Turn Sound Lock Screen Bixby.
- for older mobile phones: volume key "Volume up" button "Lock screen".
Factory reset via keyboard shortcut

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 28, 2023/ — The African Energy Chamber (AEC) (_URL_) – the voice of the African energy sector – is proud to announce that H.E. Yonis Ali Guedi, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Djibouti, will participate at the African Energy Week (AEW) 2023 conference and exhibition – Africa's premier event for the energy sector which takes from 16 – 20 October in Cape Town.
Under the theme 'The African Energy Renaissance: Prioritizing Energy Poverty, People, the Planet, Industrialization and Free Markets', AEW 2023 provides a platform where H.E. Yonis Ali Guedi can engage with other African energy and petroleum ministers as well as private and public sector executives from across the regional and global landscape, laying the foundation for new partnerships and investment agreements to be signed.
Representing a crucial gateway to international markets for many landlocked East and Central African countries – owing to the country's location and close proximity to the Red Sea and Suez Canal -, the presence of H.E. Minister Guedi at AEW 2023 – the premier platform for the African energy sector – will be critical for showcasing opportunities available for energy and services companies within Djibouti's energy, infrastructure and logistics spectrums.
While Djibouti has no native sources of oil, natural gas, hydropower or coal as of yet, the country has made significant progress in improving energy resilience and access for its citizens though regional integration and cooperation with neighboring countries such as Ethiopia. As a result, Djibouti boasts an energy access rate of over 61%, with a target to achieve universal access by 2035. With Djibouti seeking to unlock its renewable energy potential to maximize domestic energy generation, AEW represents the best platform for the minister to meet, network and sign industry changing deals with global investors.
On the hydrocarbons front, the move by Djibouti to position itself as a regional trade and logistics hub – with various Memoranda of Understandings having been signed by H.E. Minister Guedi with South Sudan and Ethiopia – presents massive opportunities for regional energy security, resource monetization and for oil, gas and services companies seeking high returns on investments. While deals such as with Ethiopia for the development of a new fuel storage terminal inside the Djibouti Damerjog Industrial Development zone and the large-scale Ethiopia–Djibouti Gas Pipeline – set to distribute gas from the Calub and Hilala fields (_URL_ in Ethiopia – represents an important step towards improving regional energy security, AEW 2023 represents the ideal platform for such projects to secure funding and materialize.
"The Chamber is proud to be hosting H.E. Yonis Ali Guedi at AEW 2023. We commend the minister for his commitment to enhancing regional cooperation between Djibouti and its neighbors and driving energy sector stability and growth. At AEW 2023, discussions and deal-signings will be centered around the investment opportunities present within Djibouti for infrastructure and logistics companies within the oil, gas and renewables spaces," stated NJ Ayuk, the Executive Chairman of the AEC.
At AEW 2023, H.E. Minister Guedi will participate in high-level panel discussions, ministerial forums and exclusive networking sessions where the minister will showcase investment opportunities within the East African country.
AEW is the AEC's annual energy event that unites African and global energy companies and governments for four days of networking and dialogue. The event represents the biggest gathering of energy stakeholders on the continent. For more information about sponsorship, attendance and partnership, visit _URL_

We derive a modified mixture inventory model with backorders and lost sales, in which the order quantity, the reorder point and the lead time are decision variables. In our studies, we first assume that the lead time demand follows a normal distribution, and then relax the assumption about the form of the distribution function of the lead time demand and apply the minimax distribution-free procedure to solve the problem. We develop an algorithm procedure to obtain the optimal ordering strategy. Furthermore, the effects of parameters are also included.

Ferragosto is an Italian holiday celebrated on August 15. It is the most important summer holiday in Italy, and the second most important holiday time after Christmas. Most Italians will get out of the cities and head for either the beach or the mountains.
The Italian 15th August Since the Ancient Rome by: Lia Contesso
The mid-August holiday is an ancient feast, that already existed in Octavian Augustus' times; later, it coincided with the Christian celebration of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
In 18 B.C. the emperor Octavian Augustus instituted the mid-August feast to connect the celebrations of the month, thus creating a necessary and deserved period of rest after the fatiguing period of the harvest - other than for a kind of political self-promotion. During the "feriae Augusti" the draught animals were exempted from their work and dressed up with flowers decorations, while the workers brought their wishes to their chiefs, from whom they received extra tips. It's easy to imagine how these days were longed for in the whole empire: nowadays, anyway, the mid-August feast is a typically Italian celebration, to which the population of the boot is very attached, differently from the other nations.
Spending some days in Cassino, the 14th August you can see the Crowning of the Virgin Mary: following the tradition, the statues of Our Lady and of the Child Jesus meet in Via Foro, where once, a long time ago, the statues met and the plague suddenly disappeared. Hence, the statues are still brought in procession in that precise point, and after they meet the Abbot crowns that of the Virgin Mary, queen and mother of Cassino.
On the 15th August, instead, Cassino celebrates the Assumption feast; the religious ritual, in the Annunziata Church, is followed by a series of celebrations organized by the municipality and by the citizens, ready to welcome all the people who wish to celebrate the laic and Catholic feasts, following millenary traditions.
Ferragosto in Italy
With the arrival of the Christianity, then, the 15th August took on a new significance: in that date, in fact, the Christian religion celebrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the skies that, according to the Catholic dogma defined by Pope Pius XII on the 1st November 1950, would have ascended in the skies not only with her soul but with her whole body. The Assumption of the Virgin Mary is also called Dormition: some theological currents, in fact, sustain that Mary would not have died, but she would have fallen asleep, and would have ascended while sleeping. Death, in fact, for the Catholic religion is connected with the original sin, and being the Virgin Mary pure and with no sin since her conception, there would be no reason for the death to end her terrain existence. In fact, the dogma proclaimed by Pope Pius XII does not clearly establish whether f the Virgin Mary has died or not: it affirms that she has been welcomed in the skies once her terrain existence was over, without specifying the reasons of the end of her terrain life, on which different opinions has formed.
The celebrations for the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, nowadays, almost get confused with those of the mid-August, that in its laic sense remains a wholly Italian feast: hence, the 15th August in the Italian boot assumes a sacred and laic importance, and it's a feast to which the whole peninsula is extremely attached, differently from the other countries, in which it has not the same consideration. From the famous Palio di Siena to the processions made in the whole Italy, followed by parties and nights in the beach, Italy celebrates and gives the 15th August a fundamental role in the summer holidays planning.

Foreign Currency Mortgages What Are They And What Are The Risks?
Foreign Currency Mortgages What Are They And What Are The Risks?
99.9% of mortgage borrowers raise the money they need to buy their home in pounds sterling and pay the prevailing UK based interest rate. But it does not have to be that way..
Whilst by its' own historical standards, the UK's domestic interest rates are low, they are still significantly higher than in the Eurozone, America, Switzerland and indeed, Japan. Therefore, you can currently borrow the money you need in Euros, $ dollars, Swiss Francs or Yen, secure the debt against your house in the UK and pay a much lower rate of interest.
Foreign Currency Mortgages What Are They And What Are The Risks?
The following 3 month money market interest rates illustrate the extent to which UK interest rates are ahead of other parts of the world:
Sterling 4.64%
US $ 4.48%
Eurozone 2.46%
Switzerland 1.03%
Japanese Yen 0.12%
(Source: 3 month Money Market Rates, Financial Times, 9/12/05)
But don't expect to borrow money for your mortgage at these 3 month Money market rates. You will have to pay a premium for borrowing in an overseas currency. Nevertheless, if interest rates remained as they are now, there will still be significant interest rate savings to be made.
So why are less than 1% of UK domestic mortgages taken out in overseas currencies? The answer: there are extra risks.
Interest rates could buck historical trends and narrow the gap between sterling based rates and the rates for the currency in which the mortgage has been borrowed. This would reduce the interest rate saving and indeed, at some stage, could make the interest rate more expensive than for a standard sterling mortgage.
But by far the biggest risk lies' in changes in exchange rates. If you have borrowed in say, Yen, you eventually have to repay the loan in Yen. That would be fine if the Yen/Sterling exchange rates were frozen together but they aren't.
If sterling strengthened against the Yen, then you would have to convert less sterling back into yen to repay the loan than the sterling value of the money you initially borrowed. That would be great, an interest rate saving and pay back less than you borrowed. But if sterling fell against the Yen the reverse happens you end up paying back more capital than you borrowed.
So in this context, an overseas mortgage becomes a currency bet that sterling will not fall against the currency you borrowed. In other words you have converted your mortgage and what is probably your biggest personal liability, into a currency speculation. And secured your home against it! You could win but it's not for the faint at heart!
Another point to be aware of is that you'll need a deposit of at least 20% for your house purchase in order to qualify for a foreign currency mortgage.
Incidentally, there is now a second option. You can take out a mortgage in sterling and have the interest rate you pay linked to a foreign interest rate. Whilst you avoid the currency exposure risk, you are still taking gamble that the overseas interest rate plus the interest rate premium you'll have to pay, will remain lower than the UK's domestic interest rates. These types of mortgage typically have a 5 year tie in clause.
Therefore, you'll have a hefty penalty to pay if you want to pay it off early, although the mortgage can usually be moved to another property. For some that represents an acceptable risk, especially if the mortgage is linked to the Swiss Franc interest rate which has been astonishingly low and stable over past years. For example, the interest rates in Switzerland have not moved above 1% in the last 4 years and the Eurozone interest rate has not changed in 5 years.
Nevertheless, part of the wording for a regulated investment warning comes to mind.. past performance should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance

Counselling and Career Guidance Cell
The Counselling & Career Guidance Cell, is an integral part of IIMS, is a student support service intended to help students adapt and make the best of their learning environment.
College is a time of transition, change and new experiences for students. Among college bound individuals, a constellation of stressors is frequently experienced. Stress may arise from challenging course loads, problems in managing ones' time and personal finances, tension related to examinations and challenges in creating and maintaining satisfying interpersonal relationships; potentially leading to increased levels of depression, anxiety, academic failure and emotional exhaustion.
However, successful negotiation of this transition has been linked to better psychological adjustment, fewer risk behaviours and academic success. Counselling provides students with such successful conciliation during this transition period. The Counselling Cell also helps the student to gain insight into his/her area of interest, aptitude, personality, anxiety etc.
Students can come for counselling on any matter that might be troubling them. Some of the common problems among the college students are as follows:
Career Related Deficiencies
The students also feel the sudden increased autonomy over personal issues during this transition period. At times this freedom from parental control leads to several personal problems including frequent absenteeism in college, excessive influence of friends, attraction and problems associated with opposite gender. The personal problems also generate from the followings:
Counselling service provides a confidential environment where the students can express themselves relating to problems that may be painful or uncomfortable. Counselling helps the student to explore the situation and find solution or answer for a problem. Through counselling an attempt is made to assist the student to organize himself/herself better, to attain a more satisfying and resourceful way of living. The Students' Counsellor who is the coordinator of the cell, may be contacted at _EMAIL_

This Jewish Coney Island "Incubator Doctor" Saved Thousands of Premature Babies
If you were born poor and premature in early 20th-century New York City, your chances for survival were slim. Few American hospitals had incubators, and the mortality rate for preemies was staggering.
A young Jewish entrepreneur masquerading as a doctor stepped in to fill that gap. Born Michael Cohen in a small town called Krotoszyn in what is now Poland, the heavily accented immigrant convinced parents and top physicians around New York City to entrust newborn feeble infants to his care—all the way out at the southern tip of Brooklyn. Under the clamoring crowds who flocked to Coney Island for freak shows and ocean-side entertainment, over 6,500 infants thrived under the care of a man calling himself Dr. Martin Couney.
And remarkably, the families did not have to spend a dime on their babies' care—all expenses were covered by entree fees.
But every part of the identity of the so-called "incubator doctor" was fictional, it turns out, including his title. Nonetheless, as detailed in Miracle at Coney Island: How a Sideshow Doctor Saved Thousands of Babies and Transformed American Medicine, this life-saving miracle man fooled doctors and families alike—all the while saving lives and contributing enormously to neonatal medical knowledge.

PHP是一种松散types的语言。 使用双等号运算符可以对variables进行松散的检查。
松散地检查一个值将允许一些类似但不相等的值相同：
 - ""
 - 空值
 - 0
所有这些值将等于使用双等号运算符。
到目前为止，所有的答案都忽略了===的危险问题。 顺便说一下，不过没有强调，integer和double是不同的types，所以下面的代码：
 $n = 1000; $d = $n + 0.0e0; echo '
'. ( ($n == $d)?'equal' :'not equal' ); echo '
'. ( ($n === $d)?'equal' :'not equal' );
得到：
 equal not equal
请注意，这不是"舍入错误"的情况。 这两个数字是完全相同的最后一位，但他们有不同的types。
这是一个令人讨厌的问题，因为使用===的程序如果所有的数字都足够小（"足够小"取决于所运行的硬件和操作系统），它可以快速运行多年。 但是，偶然的情况下，一个整数恰好足够大，可以被转换为double，即使后续操作或许多操作可能会将其返回到一个小的整数值，它的types也会"永远"更改。 而且，情况变得更糟。 它可以传播 – 双重感染可以传递到任何接触，一次一个计算。
例如，在现实世界中，处理date超过2038年的程序可能会成为问题。 此时，UNIX时间戳（自1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC以来的秒数）将需要超过32位，因此它们的表示将在某些系统上"神奇地"切换到两倍。 因此，如果计算两次之间的差异，则最终可能会有几秒钟，但是会以2017年的双精度结果而不是整数结果。
我认为这比string和数字之间的转换差得多，因为它很微妙。 我发现很容易跟踪什么是一个string，什么是一个数字，但跟踪数字的位数是超出我的。
所以，在上面的答案中有一些很好的表，但没有1（作为一个整数）和1（微妙的双）和1.0（明显的双）之间的区别。 此外，build议你应该总是使用===而不是==不是很好，因为===有时会失败，其中==正常工作。 另外，JavaScript在这方面并不相同，因为它只有一个数字types（在内部它可能有不同的按位表示，但对===不会造成问题）。
我的build议 – 既不使用。 你需要编写自己的比较函数来解决这个问题。

New Guide Offers African American Families Help to Cope with Crises
African American parents now have an important new resource to help them support their children in times of stress or crisis. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) have developed an Activity Book for African American Families: Helping Children Cope with Crisis.
The Activity Book for African American Families was developed by the African American Parents' Project, a collaboration between families, professional organizations, and leaders of national African American organizations, to provide African American families and communities with activities and resources to comfort their children in times of crisis. The project, begun shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, is designed to help African American families console their children who may become frightened by repeated media coverage of terrorism, war, and violence, and instill in them a sense of safety.
"Parents have the most important job in the world one that is even more challenging and more difficult when children try to make sense of reports of violence and heightened threat alerts in the media," said Duane Alexander, M.D., director of the NICHD. "This activity book is designed to empower families to address everyday hardships and also to strengthen families for times of major crisis."
In developing this booklet, the NICHD and the NBCDI listened to parents' concerns and suggestions about what they needed to help their children cope with crisis situations. A number of African American organizations provided their expertise and assistance in developing the workbook and are committed to helping promote it.
"This project has a deep meaning for our community because many African American families live with daily violence and other issues," said Evelyn Moore, president of NBCDI. "These daily struggles are compounded by war and the threat of terrorism, which have a great impact on our children. During this time of renewal and new resolutions, we encourage families to spend some time doing the activities together."
The book's activities are designed to work well with children ages 12 and under by helping parents communicate with their children to strengthen the family and help children feel safe. In addition, the activities help parents talk with children about emotions to find ways to express thoughts and feelings that might be hard to say out loud. By talking about these things, families can begin to deal with feelings in positive, constructive ways. The activities also highlight important values, such as family, honesty, and spirituality, which can strengthen children from within.
Many of the activities tap into children's creativity drawing, coloring, singing, gardening which encourage children to let others know what's going on inside them in a safe, controlled way. Other activities encourage parents and children to read a poem or a story, or listen to a song as a way of refocusing children's attention on calming thoughts.
The Activity Book contains specific advice for parents about how to:

Gold Project in Pará, Brazil
TriStar Gold is a gold exploration and development company. Its 100% owned flagship project, Castelo de Sonhos gold project, is located in Pará state, Brazil. The Company has also recently completed a US $8 million finance with Royal Gold Inc.
CEO and President of TriStar, Nick Appleyard and the Director of TriStar, Dr. Quintin Hennigh discuss the company's project.
The current resource is at 1.3 million ounces inferred gold and 700,000 ounces of indicated. Furthermore, this is located in Esperança South; which is just one small corner of the project where it just happens to come to surface. "There's a lot more potential there still to be unlocked." says Appleyard.
According to Appleyard, Dr. Hennigh is the most passionate geologist he has worked with. "He is a Ph.D. geologist and he is a world expert on paleoplacers, and this is a paleoplacer." he says.
Paleoplacer deposits are fossilized or frozen placer deposits. Placer gold refers to particulate gold that occurs in gravels such as stream-laid gravels or shoreline gravels. When you start to bury those deposits, they actually turn to hard rock and you end up with what's called a paleoplacer deposit.
Further, at Castelo de Sonhos these conglomerates were laid down, about 2.2 billion years ago. "Now through erosion and weathering they've actually stuck their head up again and are now the target of TriStar." says Dr. Hennigh.
Castelo de Sonhos
The Castelo de Sonhos gold project is situated in the southwestern Pará state, Brazil, approximately 20km from the town of Castelo de Sonhos. Moreover, it is a paleoplacer gold deposit with 19 km of conglomerate outcrop. Large upside potential remains with only around 60% of the prospective area drilled thus far.
In 2018 the company completed a preliminary economic assessment on the Esperanca South target. The report returned exceptional results indicating a pre-tax IRR of 51% and NPV $319m at a modest gold price of US$1250/oz gold. TriStar is now focused on advancing the preliminary feasibility study while also testing the upside potential of additional targets outside of the known resource area.

Taking its name from an old Italian painting technique where an artist paints using a mixture of pigments and water on wet plaster, Fresco's biggest draw is its Live Brushes:
Using the Adobe Sensei drawing AI, the tool mimics the real-world behavior of various paints, oils, and watercolors to a point where different colors can be mixed to form interesting and lifelike results Combining more colors with varying degrees of intensity can result in new colors you wouldn't usually find on a standard computer color palette.
There's a lot more to Live Brushes than just mixing colors; even the ways the paints and oils react have a realistic feel to them. Thick patches of oil leave deeper smidges of color. Watercolor strokes aren't entirely straight lines but rather have ridges and spread thinner the longer you paint with a single stroke. All the brushes are controlled using a stylus—so your hands won't get messy on a particularly inspired day.
To make painting easier, Adobe Freco has an almost similar UI to Adobe Photoshop with the layer bar on the right and the toolbar on the left (you can even import your customized Photoshop brushes into the app). If you aren't the biggest fan of the standard UI, you can scrap the whole thing and craft a customized UI of your own. You can even create new brushes in Fresco using Adobe Capture.
Adobe Fresco is currently being built specifically for the Apple iPad first with other versions to follow soon after. The app will be out later this year, but if you can't wait to get your hands on the digital painting program, you can sign up for the pre-release test here.

Wing For Business: How Wing Can Help Organize Your Business
In our previous post, 'How Wing Can Help Supply Your Business', we went over how Wing can save companies' valuable time. For example, tasks such as offloading sourcing office supplies, company swag, and food. Ultimately, this allows businesses to focus on their core operations because the jobs listed above are handed off to the AI virtual assistant – Wing. But, is there anything else Wing for Business can do? For example, maybe it could help perform research or help organize your business.
Organizing job applicants/candidates
Onboarding New Hires
Organizing lead generation in a spreadsheet
Beyond simple logistic tasks, Wing can also assist with sales functions. For instance, the beginning of the sales process usually involves hunting for potential customers. Also, you must organize these leads in a way that is easy to peruse and analyze.
Compiling Verification Letters
Lastly, you might run into a bureaucratic task that is low-impact, high priority. This means it brings no added value to your company whatsoever, yet it still necessary to do. For example, employees may have to verify their employment to third parties. This happens for all sorts of reasons, from visas to healthcare problems to signing a loan.
When that happens, you can offload this task to Wing.
Like the problem solved in 'How Wing Can Help Supply Your Business', offloading bureaucratic, and organizational tasks to Wing frees up time for businesses to focus on their core operations. Additionally, sometimes Wing can even help, such as with generating sales leads and entering them into a spreadsheet.

From the use of hot and cold packs to new forms of narcotics, James Roush, professor of clinical sciences, is studying ways to lessen pain after surgery and improve care for small animals, particularly dogs. He is working with the clinical patients who come to the College of Veterinary Medicine's Veterinary Health Center.
Because humans and dogs experience some diseases in similar ways, his research may improve how doctors and physicians understand human health, too.
"Several of our projects have human applications, particularly one involving intra-articular prolotherapy," Roush said.
Here's a closer look at three of Roush's current projects:
* A recent project with Ralph Millard, former Veterinary Health Center resident, focuses on ways that hot packing and cold packing affect tissue temperature in beagles and beagle-sized dogs after surgery.
After surgery in both humans and dogs it is common to put a cold pack or hot pack on tissue to prevent and reduce swelling. How long the pack is used and what type of cold or hot pack is used depends on the type of injury and surgery. Roush said that no studies have looked at how deep in the tissue the packs affect temperature and how long the packs must be applied so that the tissue reaches a desired temperature.
The researchers studied the temperature and tissue depth that hot and cold packing affected and the time it took to reach that temperature.
"We found that you don't really need to cold pack anything longer than 10 minutes because there is not a great change in temperature after that," Roush said.
When tissue is cold packed, it will stay cold for a while after the ice pack is removed. But when tissue is hot packed and the pack is removed, the tissue temperature will return to normal much more quickly. Leaving the hot or cold pack on the tissue longer than 10 minutes will extend the time that the tissue stays at the same hot or cold temperature, Roush said. There just will not be a great change in temperature after 10 minutes.
The same technique of hot and cold packing after surgery is also used in humans. Although more research in humans is needed, Roush said there is a strong possibility that a similar 10-minute time frame for hot and cold packing may apply to humans as well.
The research appears in two upcoming publications in the Journal of Veterinary Research.
* For another project, Roush and Matt Sherwood, Veterinary Health Center resident, are using a mat system to study lameness and osteoarthritis in dogs. When dogs step on the mat, it measures the pressure in their step.
The mat system is a useful clinical tool for evaluating and developing treatment of lameness, Roush said. Roush and Sherwood are using the mat for measuring lameness and determining in which leg the lameness is worse.
"We've designed the study to help improve osteoarthritis treatment," Roush said. "We will also use it to measure clinical patients when they come in for regular checkups. We can measure their recovery and a variety of other aspects: how they respond to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, how they respond to narcotics or how they respond to a surgical procedure that is designed to take that pressure off the joint."
* Roush also is working with Marian Benitez, Veterinary Health Center resident, on an analgesic pharmacology study. Rose McMurphy, professor of clinical sciences, and Butch KuKanich, associate professor of anatomy and physiology, are also involved.
The researchers are studying the effectiveness of a painkiller used to treat dogs and researching potential alternatives to the drug. The same drug also is commonly used to treat pain in humans.
"To achieve the drug's effect, the dosage in dogs is much higher than in people," Roush said. "It also may not be a very good analgesic in dogs. We want to see if there is an alternative that requires smaller doses and does not have not as much of a discrepancy for patients."

A braccae is the Latin term for trousers, and in this context is today used to refer to a style of pants, made from wool. Braccae were typically made with a drawstring, and tended to reach from just above the knee at the shortest, to the ankles at the longest, with length generally adapted to the climate. Historically it is said that the Romans encountered this style of clothing among the Gauls. When the Romans first encountered the braccae, they thought them to be effeminate (Roman men typically wore tunics, which were one-piece outfits terminating at or above the knee). However, braccae eventually became popular among Roman legionaries stationed in cooler climates to the north of southern Italy.


Pratt vs Howe Truss
 Hi, I have to build a Popsicle Stick bridge for Physics class. I really don't have much knowledge on bridges as most of this was to be researched. I did a lot of research but I'm having trouble deciding between these two trusses.
 Length: 55 cm
 Height: 4 cm
 Width: 8 cm
 So my main problem is the type of truss to use, Howe or Pratt. The load will be focused in the center.
 2. Relevant equations
 3. The attempt at a solution
 I used a Bridge Designer program to determine the force/weight distribution for each truss. Pratt is on the top, Howe is on the bottom:
 The main differences are that the Pratt truss has no force on the ends and the compression members are vertical. The Howe truss has no force on the center and the tension members are vertical instead.
 Here's why I can't decide between the two:
 - The Pratt truss uses vertical compression members. Since the height restriction is 4cm, wouldn't this allow the bridge using a Pratt truss to be stronger against compression? (Compression is inversely proportional to length, according to the research I've done)
 - The Howe truss has no net force in the center, where the load will be placed. Does this automatically make it better than the Pratt?

 It appears that you have inadvertently applied your load at the top of the truss instead of at the bottom, because that's the only way you're going to get a zero force in the center vertical chord for the Howe, and as compressive force of 150 for the Pratt (the way you have shown the load, those chord forces would be reversed). Beyond that, if your numbers are correct, I'm not sure which is better, it depends a lot on your l/r ratios for the compressive members. Off hand, you've got to weigh the 300 max tensile,225 max horiz chord compression, and 106 max compression of the diagonals, of the Howe, with the 187 max tensile and 250 max compression of the horiz chords, of the Pratt. And even for the zero force members, you're still going to use the same size popsicle stick in those members, so the zero's don't gain you anything. I'd vote for the Pratt, but it could be a wash either way. Just a thought, so don't take it for gospel. I'll let you be the engineer.
 4. Thanks for your help.
 The weight is going to be loaded on the top of the bridge in the center. Does that change anything?

 If the loading is as the top, your internal force diagrams as shown are correct.
 6. How about the deflection (vertical movement) at mid span. Does one indicate less deflection than the other? Also noticed that the maximum forces in Howe truss are less than the maximum in the Pratt. On a much larger scale, would the truss with the lower maximum forces result in in a lighter truss members, thereby reducing fabrication and erection costs?...
Have something to add?
