The process will not just be based on how much money companies are willing to spend. Hydro Quebec says it will also consider job implications in the bids, and companies that plan to hire people in Quebec and deliver higher paying jobs calculated in payroll per MW will get higher consideration.

Thousands of Syrian residents of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights are expected to boycott the first municipal elections imposed by Israel on the area, rejecting what they call the 'Israelization' of the territory. Following a decision handed down by Israel's supreme court last year to hold, for the first time ever, municipal elections in October for the occupied Golan's 26, Syrian residents, local religious leaders and village elders are calling for a full rejection of the elections, calling it a "red line.
One of the advantages of having several different hobbies is that I get the chance to look at things through different lenses. Aside from blogging I am also into reading, hiking, poetry, dance fitness, and amateur dramatics, and the last one can often feel quite therapeutic but then, pretending to be someone youre not for two hours a night can hardly fail to be.
Currently Im involved in a production of the musical Fame , set in a performing-arts school in New York in the early s. The show has a number of storylines, but the stand-out one concerns the ambitious and celebrity-obsessed performer Carmen Diaz. As one of the 97 kids out of 4, who got into the school, she is not short of self-belief, but chafes against the institutions teaching, desperate to break out into Broadway and beyond.
As Carmen continues to dream of seeing her name in lights, her patience with her teachers ultimately snaps, and she drops out of school to move to Los Angeles after receiving an offer from an agent, ignoring the warning from her drama tutor that shes making the biggest mistake of her life. Needless to say, things dont go quite according to plan for her. Two years into the ongoing so far music-free drama that is the Brexit process, its a fair verdict that things arent going quite according to the original plan. Thats assuming, of course, that there was an original plan to start with, and that it wasnt actually an elaborate ruse by the likes of billionaires like Arron Banks and Jacob Rees-Mogg, and media moguls like Rothermere and the Barclays to avoid having their tax loopholes being closed by Brussels To give them their due, the Brexiteers never proclaimed in so many words that we were all going to Live Forever and Learn How To Fly, but they might just as well have done.
DExEU Secretary David Davis is a man who appears to see his job as daily to give evidence of how out of his depth he is; there are reports that he actually enjoys listening to Duncan Wisbeys merciless lampooning of him as the bungling Brexit Bulldog in BBC Radio 4s Dead Ringers , which suggests he may not quite be getting the joke. At one point he seemed to have forgotten that most of Ireland was no longer within British jurisdiction.

As for that fabled popular tribune sic , the mysteriously Several people killed in explosion at rally supporting new Ethiopian leader "IndyWatch Feed Allworld".
Several people were killed and injured in an explosion at a rally attended by thousands in Addis Ababa on Saturday, Ethiopias new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said. The rally was being held in Ethiopias capital in support of the year-old ex-soldier who has outlined a series of radical reforms since taking office in April. A few Ethiopians were injured. There are a few people who lost their lives, Abiy said in a televised addressed after the explosion, which occurred minutes after he finished his speech at the capitals Meskel Square.
Abiy described the incident as an unsuccessful attempt by forces who do not want to see Ethiopia united. It was a grenade. Someone tried to hurl it to the stage where the prime minister was in, Seyoum Teshome, a member of the organizing committee, said. I saw some five people injured following the blast, Seyoum told Reuters. Abiy stunned Ethiopians this month by saying he was prepared to fully implement a peace deal with Eritrea signed in and meant to end a two-year war between the country and its neighbor that devolved into a stalemate resulting in huge military build up by both countries.
It is one of many policy shifts announced since Abiy took office, moves that could reshape Ethiopias relations with its neighbors and have equally dramatic impacts inside the country of million people.

Trump's Rally in Minnesota, Synopsis: Until the turn of the decade, obtaining online pirate content was almost exclusively achieved by individuals with desktop and laptop computers.
With the rise of streaming, set-top devices are now the major entry point. With Kodi-enabled Android devices grabbing much of the attention and criticism , other platforms have also been feeling the heat. Despite offering plenty of legitimate content such as HBO Go, Hulu, and Netflix and playing no active role in the provision of unlicensed media, Roku is one of those enduring a bumpy ride. Last year following a complaint from Cablevision, the Superior Court of Justice of the City of Mexico handed down a ban , prohibiting stores like Amazon from importing and selling Roku devices due to third parties offering unlicensed content via the platform.
It didnt take long for Roku to react. Last August the company began displaying warnings to users who added channels to their device that werent obtained via the official Roku store. Then just a month later, it was revealed that Roku was assembling its own anti-piracy team. In the background the legal wheels turned, with Roku trying everything in its power to have the Mexico ban overturned.
As of today the ban remains with no clear end in sight but that doesnt mean that Roku has been standing still. It appears that on May 23, a group of Mexican journalists was welcomed to Rokus Silicon Valley headquarters. While these events were no doubt designed to build bridges, Mexicos Telecommunications Law Institute IDET painted the efforts in a rather different light.
According to El Economista , IDET said the moves were designed to exert pressure on the judiciary and to sway public opinion in favor of Roku. We feel they are doing that because they want to influence the judges, but the truth is that intellectual property rights are still not respected and the truth is that this is a very strong problem for Mexi Italian deputy PM Matteo Salvini: Ahead of the EU summit at the end of June, where the latest disagreements within the bloc over migration policy are expected to be on the agenda, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has lambasted Paris for "lecturing" Rome and resisted Germany's plans to turn away refugees which have been registered in other countries.
The leader of the Italy's Euro-sceptic League party, Matteo Salvini, who was appointed the Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister at the beginning of June, has warned that the future of the European Union is at stake in an interview with the German weekly news magazine Spiegel. According to the top Italian official, the upcoming talks on the joint budget and the results of the European elections, scheduled for , will show if the whole creation "has become meaningless.

So, I was thinking about Road Runners and wondering if you could make a pet out of one. That seemed like it might be difficult, given the observable personality of them; as far as I have seen. They remind me of velociraptors. I heard a faint voice in my head that seemed to be saying, So Reflexively, I responded in the affirmative. Yesterday 4 of them showed up in the backyard where none had ever been there before and they had to come through a fence. I did not see this. My friend told me about it. Let's expand on that a bit. Two mornings ago, the day after I was thinking about The Road Raptors, one of them came up to the glass patio door and was looking into the house for me?
I was told this by a friend but this is just the source of that info speaking. It was a day after when the four of them showed up and were doing mating dances. Perhaps this was meant to get my attention? Then, yesterday, one came into the yard. This time I was there and it jumped up on a rock and started preening and such. What will today bring? It's early times yet. I've probably got the time sequencing wrong but the story is as it was. A couple of days ago, I noticed a rabbit. It is a tiny rabbit and I pointed it out to my friend.

I said, No, it's a rabbit. It was the same rabbit I mentioned. It had stopped paddling just moments before I lifted it out; giving up I believe. It lay motionless for a few seconds and then it hopped off into a bush. Some very odd events have been going on since I It makes no difference how honorable he is.
His investigation is tainted by the bias that attended its origin in Special counsel Robert Muellers investigation may face a serious legal obstacle: It is tainted by antecedent political bias. The June 14 report from Michael Horowitz, the Justice Departments inspector general, unearthed a pattern of anti-Trump bias by high-ranking officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Some of their communications, the report says, were not only indicative of a biased state of mind but imply a willingness to take action to impact a presidential candidates electoral prospects.
Horowitz could not definitively ascertain whether this bias directly affected specific FBI actions in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, it nonetheless affects the legality of the Trump-Russia collusion inquiry, code-named Crossfire Hurricane. Crossfire was launched only months before the election. Its FBI progenitorsthe same ones who had investigated Mrs. Clintondeployed at least one informant to probe Trump campaign advisers, obtained Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court wiretap warrants, issued national security letters to gather records, and unmasked the identities of campaign officials who were surveilled.
They also repeatedly leaked investigative information. Horowitz is separately scrutinizing Crossfire and isnt expected to finish for months.

Only 19 percent of the American people support the Democrat position , said Rep. Catch and release is the controversial practice where illegal immigrants are released from custody and told to show up to a court hearing at a designated later date. The poll also found that a majority of Americans supported keeping illegal immigrant families together, with 44 percent saying that those families should be detained together until a court hearing determined whether they would be allowed to stay in the United States, a practice that was put in place Wednesday by President Donald Trump via executive order.

This is a quick and easy video guide for the most common birds you can find in the chaparral ecosystems of Southern California. Can you identify all of the birds here? Write down your species IDs in the comments! New research on avian response to wildfires. New research explores the effects fire has on ecosystems and the wildlife species that inhabit them. Scientists examined the impacts of fires of different severity levels on birds and how that changes as the time since fire increases. Scientists looked across 10 fires after they burned through forests in the Sierra Nevada.
A key finding was that wildfire had strong, but varied, effects on the density of many of the bird species that were studied. As we enter another wildfire season in California , attention will turn to the inevitable fires and efforts to extinguish them. After these fires burn, land managers are tasked with deciding how, where, and when to act to manage these new conditions.
It is vital that land managers use the latest science to understand the effects that fire has on the ecosystem and the wildlife species that inhabit them.

But the sheer horror of it all, a tower, rotator, and HF Yagi would ruin the aesthetic, so what can be done? Construction is the usual copper pipe with a co-axial coupling loop and a large air-gapped variable capacitor, and tuning comes via a long plastic rod that emerges as a discreet knob on the opposite side of the table.
It has a 10 MHz to 30 MHz bandwidth, and should provide a decent antenna for such a small space. We cant help some concern about how easy to access that capacitor is, on these antennas there is induced a surprisingly large RF voltage across its vanes, and anyone unwary enough to sit at the table to enjoy a poolside drink might suffer a nasty RF burn to the knee. Perhaps wed go for a remotely tuned model instead, for this reason.

Anti-fascist teenager reveals how Russian security services brutally beat and tortured him "IndyWatch Feed Allworld". Since October , the FSB have been running a terrorism investigation into Russian anarchists and anti-fascists.
But as Alexey Poltavets' experience shows, this case has a violent backstory. Since October , nine people have arrested as part of The Network case , which has seen Russian anti-fascists and anarchists in St Petersburg and Penza detained on terrorism charges. According to Federal Security Service FSB investigators, all the arrested men were members of an organisation that planned to provoke the popular masses for further destabilisation of the political climate in the country during the Russian presidential elections and FIFA World Cup. But as has become clear, this case has a history that goes back to spring Sofiko Aridzhanova, a Moscow-based journalist and anarchist, recently revealed that FSB officers informally interrogated her in February last year.
And on 23 May , Viktoria Frolova, a friend of the suspects in Penza, was detained at the Russian-Ukrainian border. Frolova was forced to give a testimony against her acquaintances from Penza. My name is Alexey Poltavets, I was born in Omsk. In terms of my beliefs, I am an anarchist, anti-fascist and vegetarian; I am against the current government of the Russian Federation. In Omsk, I took part in animal rights events film screenings and rallies.
In , I was an active supporter of the Maidan protesters in Kyiv, I was speaking out against the annexa How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple-minded? And how long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? Turn back at my reproof behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. No chain is stronger than its weakest link.
Likewise, if you fail in the day-by-day program, in all probability it will be your weakest point. Great faith and constant contact with Gods power can help you discover, guard, and undergird your weakest point with a strength not your own. Intelligent faith in Gods power can be counted on to help you master your emotions, help you to think kindly of others, and help you with any task that you undertake, no matter how difficult. Am I master of my emotions? You need to be constantly recharged by the power of the spirit of God. Continue with God in quiet times until the life from God, the Divine life, by that very contact, flows into your being and revises your fainting spirit.
When weary, take time out and rest. Rest and gain power and strength from God, and then you will be ready to meet whatever opportunities come your way. Rest until every care and worry and fear have gone and then the tide of peace and serenity, love and joy, will flow into your consciousness. I pray that I may rest and become recharged. I pray that I may pause and wait for the renewing of my strength. Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary.
How often we get weary of praying when God does not answer our prayers the way we want Him to answer them! How slow we are to recognize that God knows better than we what is truly good for us Andrew Sullivan says that the Democrats should give [Trump] his fucking wall on the border with Mexico. He spills a lot of words to make his case but it all comes down to a few basic ideas.
One is straight up fear that Trump will use inaction on the border to his advantage and batter the Democrats into a successful bid for reelection. Another is that only by giving Trump a win on his signature issue can the Democrats defuse the issue. Another is that Trump is owed the wall because he ran on building it and he won, just as Obama ran on expanding access to health care and won. Another is that giving him the wall will allow the Democrats to horsetrade for funding and policies that will actually deal with the humanitarian crisis at the border.
The point is that after this crisis, we have to return this debate to the calm and nitty-gritty area of legislative hearings and compromises, rather than the cable news and social media rhetorical screech of the recent past. Sullivan needs to look at the Trump administration with fresh eyes. They are not bashing immigrants because its a legitimate issue. They are leading a white nationalist movement, and the objective facts on the border are wholly irrelevant to them. They will attack the Democrats and accuse them of wanting open borders, of wanting non-citizens to vote, of non-existent in-person voter fraud, of coddling Mexican and Central American gangs because they dont care about crime, or disrespecting Christianity, of only caring about non-whites, of taking white peoples money and wasting it on the urban poor.
They will do these things whether or not the Democrats give Trump his fucking wall. There will be no return to calm. There will be no science and evidence-based legislative hearings.

The rhetorical screech from cable news and social media and hate radio will not abate. What Sullivan also fails to adequately explain is how the wall would help the humanitarian crisis. Thankfully, he doesnt argue that it would be an effective way of stemming border crossings or that it could be completed at all, let alone at a reasonable cost. Instead, he simply argues that the Democrats could get a DACA fix and massive new funding for detention facilities, humane family-friendly housing, and, above all, much more money for the immigration legal system, now completely overwhelmed by asylum cases.
Im tempted to mock the family-friendly housing wed get through massive spending on detention facilities, but Id rather focus on the idea that the Democrats should willingly participate in the creation of a huge expansi Dan McLaughlin of the National Review is mostly grasping at straws when he argues that congressional Republicans are doing more to moderate President Trumps behavior than is generally understood.
One of the things that is sometimes said as an argument for electing Democrats to office is that Republicans have done nothing to check or restrain President Trump. If you know how Washington works and youve watched events there closely, though, this isnt really true. Just because something doesnt happen in a public, theatrical way does not mean it never happened.
I mean, obviously, Trump gets feedback from the leadership in Congress and there are certain members who have a degree of influence with him. And its true that most Republican politicians can probably kiss their influence goodbye, no matter limited it may be to begin with, if theyre too loud in public in their criticisms. The problem for this argument is that no one is suggesting that Republicans never talk Trump out of a bad idea. When people say that the GOP has done nothing to check or restrain him, theyre generally talking about a long list of things that come under the umbrella of government oversight.
A very partial list includes going along with his phony voter fraud claims and short-lived investigative committee , his problems with security clearances and proper vetting, his violations of the Emoluments Clause to the Constitution and other examples of self-dealing, and numerous scandals involving cabinet secretaries travel and spending. Beyond that, the Russia question has not been aggressively or thoroughly explored, which has consequences for actual policy.
Congress has not reined in Trumps bizarre behavior on trade and tariffs, which generally runs counter to conservative ideology. These are just the areas where there should have been a bipartisan interest in better oversight of the White House, but if were talking about what the electorate at large expects, I think the list of concerning things Congress is neglecting to investigate is much larger. Just on the issue of It makes sense that lawyers for Bob Muellers special counsels office do not want anyone with strong opinions about Ukrainian politics to be serving on Paul Manaforts jury.
Those with a pro-Russia bent might see Manafort as a hero of sorts. On the other hand, I dont think Manafort would want the more typical anti-Russian Ukrainian attitude to be present in the jury box, so this restriction should benefit both sides. Meanwhile, Manaforts last realistic hope of beating the charges against him ended in court today when his lawyers effort to suppress evidence seized from his storage locker failed:.
A federal judge in Washington, DC, on Thursday denied Paul Manaforts challenge to the seizure of evidence from his storage unit, finding that agents were allowed to look inside the storage unit before they got a search warrant because they had permission from a person on the lease. Manafort is pursuing motions to suppress evidence taken from the storage unit and his home in Virginia in both of the criminal cases brought against him by special counsel Robert Muellers office one in DC and one in Alexandria, Virginia.
This is the first ruling on the suppression motions; the judge in Virginia is scheduled to hear arguments later this month. US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote that the initial search of the unit by FBI agents before they got a search warrant and before they opened boxes or actually took evidence was lawful because the agents got consent from a person listed as a lessee for the unit; that individual had been an employee of Manafort.
Even if the initial search was unlawful, Jackson wrote, the seizure of evidence later on was still lawful because a judge granted the search warrant based on an affidavit that laid out why investigators believed Manafort was engaged in criminal activity. The judge also rejected Manaforts arguments that the search warrant was too broad, finding that it instructed agents to look for evidence that directly related to the alleged criminal activity described in the search warrant affidavit to the judge.
Since Manafort is already sitting in prison and no longer has any reasonable prospect of getting out in this lifetime, some decisions can no long I am going to explain this from the perspective of a child because thats what I was when the ABC miniseries Roots first aired in January I know I watched a significant portion of the series although its possible my parents decided at some point that it was too disturbing for a seven year old or that it was time for me to go to bed. I obviously have more information stored up in my memory banks thats not a recollection of watching the show but of what I learned about it subsequently when studying history or culture or just hearing people talk about it.
What I recollect more strongly than the actual program is the reaction to it. It spurred a nationwide enthusiasm for people including white people to search their own genealogies. This was discussed in my elementary school and it drove my parents and I think some of their siblings or cousins to do some research. At one point, I was presented with a huge piece of paper that needed to be folded many times for storage.
And it traced back my family's ancestors for several centuries. At different times, Ive made reference to this document on my blog only to receive an email from one parent or the other explaining that Id gotten some detail wrong. I might get a detail wrong now, too, but the most memorable fact uncovered was that we had ancestors who were on the Mayflower and that one of these people actually fell off the ship mid-voyage and had to be rescued. I remember reading a blurb about this fellow in some small New England museum and feeling a strange mix of amusement and shame.
The truth is that most Americans, including me, have almost no knowledge of their own family history beyond the great grandparents. This is especially true for people whose families arrived here in the 19th-Century or earlier. Since Stephen Miller is the driving force behind the Trump administrations harsh immigration policies, people have been looking into his genealogy and theyve discovered a few interesting facts.

Donald Trump and the s playbook: Trade wars and the targeting of minority groups in the US and some EU countries have strong historical echoes. Make no mistake, there is a concerted attack on the constitutional liberal order, says Constanze Stelzenmller, a German scholar at the Brookings Institution.
And it is being spearheaded by the president of the United States. Mr Trump started the week by trying to undermine a key American ally. He attacked Angela Merkels tenuous coalition government in Germany for allowing in millions of people who have so strongly and violently changed their culture.

This looks very much like the de-europeanization of the EU where each country returns to its own currency and autonomy with a loosely held association of European states.

Isn't it strange how the countries being on their own rather than unified is actually good and not bad?
Like United Nations, the EU. It would appear to be a good thing to be unified but it's actually not because it's part of a whole agenda to enslave the population. Instead, we have to use the divide and conquer tac Lead story "IndyWatch Feed Allworld". Two sides to every story "IndyWatch Feed Allworld". The confusion that followed Wednesdays hastily signed order at the White House was reminiscent of one of Mr. Trumps first acts in officeissuing a travel ban that was aimed largely at immigrants and visitors from Muslim-majority countries without allowing agencies to prepare for its implementation.
Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of June 23 Compiled 23 June Dinar Chronicles The below is a summary of information from the Internet. It would be up to the individual reader to decide whether or not it was valid. June 22 Lets keep watching and see if we find any truth to this. Various Cabal attempts to steal the funds have been thwarted. The deposited RV funds are now in the process of being cleared.
Private security hired by the Alliance to protect banks and redem Turkeys upcoming presidential election can also been seen as a preliminary vote on the future of its accession to the EU. While German-Turkish ties remain tense, it wasnt long ago that things seemed to be promising. When Angela Merkel was first elected German chancellor in , German-Turkish relations were still harmonious.
Merkels plan to exclude Turkey from the bloc was an affront to all those who had worked tirelessly and passionately trying to get a progressive Turkey into the EU, says Aver. Turkeys membership hopes at an all-time low. But she added that the EU does share certain common values. We uphold human and civil rig Binoy Kampmark The margin between what is a human right as an inalienable possession, and how it is seen in political terms is razor fine. In some cases, the distinctions are near impossible to make.

Graphing Sine and Cosine Functions Worksheet careless from graphing sine and cosine functions worksheet , source: The US Navy plans to build sprawling detention centers for tens of thousands of immigrants on remote bases in support of President Donald Trumps zero tolerance policy against unlawful migration, a report said Friday.
According to a draft memo obtained by Time magazine, the navy plans to build temporary and austere tent cities to house 25, migrants across three abandoned air fields in Alabama, 47, people at a facility near San Francisco, and another 47, at a training center in southern California.
The Department of Defense is conducting prudent planning and is looking nationwide at DoD installations should DHS Department of Homeland Security ask for assistance in housing adult illegal immigrants. The fate of 2, children wrested from their parents at the US border with Mexico remained unclear Friday two days after Donald Trump ended migrant family separations. While the US leader bowed to global outrage over the splitting of families, conflicting messages were contributing to a sense of chaos in the handling of the crisis. But having been forced into a climbdown, Trump swung back into fighting mode insisting he remained committed to the zero tolerance policy that aims to deter the flow of migrants from Central America.
We must maintain a Strong Southern Border. We cannot allow our Country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the Democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief, hoping it will help them in the elections, he tweeted. The parents standing with Trump have been permanently separated from their loved ones, the president said, because they were killed by criminal illegal aliens.
Hackers and scammers have been extremely harsh on companies readily exploiting any vulnerability they can with threats ranging from phishing to malware to DDoS and many more. Of course, CEOs around the world are anxious. And they feel compelled to take actions by improving their security processes and policies, training their employees, and leveling up their tech stack.
But to do that effectively and prioritize their resources, businesses and other entities need to know what they are really up against. That is where a solution like Threat Intelligence Platform TIP can help anticipate hackers thoughts and moves by flagging the weak spots of websites, email servers, and other IT systems in addition to unmasking scammers. This post takes a closer look at why threat intelligence is relevant and how it works in practice. In a nutshell, threat intelligence is about gathering and interpreting evidence-based data regarding ones cybersecurity state to mitigate and prevent existing and upcoming threats.
It supports decision-making and identifies where IT security budgets are most likely to be best allocated. As such, threat intelligence applies to a variety of contexts, even though it may sometimes be subject to several pitfalls. Small and middle-sized businesses often overlook the importance of cybersecurity since they perceive that cybercriminals only care for the big fishes. This is not true, however. SMEs are attractive victims because they typically have fewer means to fight back making it even more crucial to make wise decisions about where to spend money.
Hackers and scammers are in for easy gains. So why would they attack organizations where defenses are the strongest? On the contrary, they are likely to aim for employees who know very little about cybersecurity and are not directly responsible for it. Companies can prevent this by partially decentralizing accountability and find simple ways to get staff membe When it comes to matching simplicity with staggering creative potential, DNA may hold the prize.
Built from an alphabet of just four nucleic acids, DNA provides the floorplan from which all earthly life is constructed. But DNAs remarkable versatility doesnt end there. Researchers have managed to coax segments of DNA into performing a host of useful tricks. DNA sequences can form logical circuits for nanoelectronic applications. They have been used to perform sophisticated mathematical computations, like finding the optimal path between multiple cities. And DNA is the basis for a new breed of tiny robots and nanomachines.
Measuring thousands of times smaller than a bacterium, such devices can carry out a multitude of tasks. In new research, Hao Yan of Arizona State University and his colleagues describe an innovative DNA walker , capable of rapidly traversing a prepared track. Rather than slow, tentative steps across a surface, the DNA acrobat cartwheels head over heels, covering ground to fold faster than previous devices.
Midnight Meme Of The Day! Are You Being Served? Connection between stress and autoimmune disease affirmed by massive year study "IndyWatch Feed Allworld". Large crowds of protesters, angry over a deadly police shooting , shut down a major highway near Pittsburgh overnight. The protest halted traffic for hours. It marked the second day of unrest following Tuesdays shooting of unarmed teen Antwon Rose Jr.
Two years later, he was shot and killed by a police officer as he ran from a car during a traffic stop in East Pittsburgh. Rose, 17, was unarmed and was shot in the back three times: Police killings of unarmed black Americans impact on community. Police killings of unarmed black Americans have adverse effects on the mental health of black American adults in the general population, according to a new population-based study.
With police killings of unarmed black Americans widely perceived to be a symptom of structural racism , the findings highlight the role of structural racism as a driver of population health disparities , and support recent calls to treat police killings as a public health issue. Hardware hacker Bunnie Huang has written concrete details in his blog about how the new US tariffs are anti-maker and will promote offshoring.
However, it is not quite too late With the right pushback it might be possible to salvage the situation. I've examined the tariff lists List 1 and List 2 , and it taxes the import of basic components, tools and sub-assemblies, while giving fully assembled goods a free pass. The USTR's press release is careful to mention that the tariffs "do not include goods commonly purchased by American consumers such as cellular telephones or televisions. The list of commodities targeted in the trade war is not yet complete. The "List 2" items which include all manner of microchips, motors, and plastics such as 3D printer PLA filament and acrylic sheets for laser cutting that are building blocks for small businesses and Makers have yet to be ratified.
The USTR website has indicated in the coming weeks they will disclose a process for public review and comment. Corruption isnt a word many people use anymore, simply for fear of SLAPP not because evidence is insufficient. He was quoted again in the media in English for a change just before the weekend in relation to his job as the EU-IPOs chief. Belatedly, mainstream media in Germany covers not only Battistellis passage of EPO money to his other employer but also the financial scandals potential corruption as well a subject that we dedicated about half a dozen long posts to.
Campinos will never hold Battistelli accountable for anything hes indebted to him , but will others hold Battistelli accountable? We certainly hope so. If nobody associated with the Office EPO can do anything to Battistelli because of his immunity were not legal professionals, but its possible that his immunity at least for what he did as President extends beyond his term , then someone in Paris can perhaps do something because Battistelli has been doing some profoundly dodgy things; he and his political allies may benefit from it financially and more , but there are opposition parties still; we wrote about a dozen articles about this issue alone, only to see the corporate media totally ignoring it.
Belatedly, mainstream media 1 in Germany covers not only Battistellis passage of EPO money to his other employer but also the financial scandals potential corruption as well a subject that we dedicated about half a dozen long posts to. As an insider put it yesterday:. There is an article in todays edition of Wirtschaftswoche about the EPO, discussing the scandalous investment guideline Switzerland's World Cup win over Serbia in Kaliningrad has been overshadowed by celebrations made by the two Swiss goalscorers, Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri, both of whom are of ethnic Albanian descent.
Xhaka struck the Swiss equalizer in the 52nd minute before Shaqiri scored a late winner when he broke free from the half-way line to slot past Serbian goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic, handing the Swiss a victory. Both players are of Kosovan-Albanian descent, and appeared to make a winged salute symbolizing the eagle on the Albanian flag.
Shaqiri also played in boots marked with the flags of Switzerland and Kosovo - the breakaway region that is not recognized as independent by Serbia or Russia. The players' celebrations sparked debate on Twitter, with some questioning the need to mix politics with football, and asking whether world football governing body FIFA would take action.
Leaders are routinely confronted with philosophical dilemmas. Heres a classic one for our Trumptopian times: If you make enemies out of your friends and friends out of your enemies, where does that leave you? What does winning or losing really look like? Is a world in which walls of every sort encircle Americas borders a goal worth seeking? And what would be left in a future fragmented international economic system marked by tit-for-tat tariffs, travel restrictions, and hyper-nationalism?
Ultimately, how will such a world affect regular people? Lets cut through all of this for the moment and ask one crucial question about our present cult-of-personality era in American politics: Other than accumulating more wealth and influence for himself, his children, and the Trump family empire, whats Donald J.
Trumps end game as president? If his goal is to keep this country from being, as he likes to complain, the worlds piggy bank, then his words, threats, and actions are concerning. However bombastic and disdainful of a history he appears to know little about, he is already making the world a less stable, less affordable, and more fear-driven place. In the end, its even possible that, despite the upbeat economic news of the moment, he could almost singlehandedly smash that piggy bank himself, as he has many of his own business ventures.
Still, give him credit for one thing: Donald Trump has lent remarkable new meaning to the old phrase the imperial presidency. The members of his administration, largely a set of aging white men, either conform to his erratic wishes or get fired. In other words, hes running domestic politics in much the same fashion as he oversaw the boardroom on his reality TV show The Apprentice. Now, hes begun running the countrys foreign policy in the same personalized, take-no-prisoners, youre-fired style.
From the moment he hit the Oval Office, hes made it clear at home and abroad that its his way or the highway. If only, of course, it really was that simple. What he will learn, if learning process and President Trump can even occupy the same sentence, is that firing Canada, the European Union EU , or for that matter China has a cost. What the American working and the middle classes will see sooner than anyone imagines is that actions of this sort have unexpected global consequences. They could cost the U. If he were indeed emperor and his subjects that would be us grasped where his policies might be leading, they would be preparing a revolt.
In the end, they again, thats us will be the ones paying the price in this global chess match. Children's teeth are paying the price for the cancellation of fluoridation in Calgary "IndyWatch Feed Allworld". Escape rooms are designed to deliver unique fun to those who love adventure and exploring games. Escape rooms games have become very popular of late.

Increasingly, inverters are also seen as a simple but important way to reduce energy costs. Today, over 17 mil- lion Mitsubishi Electric frequency inverters are in operation around the world in a wide range of applications.
High standards Our commitment to meeting international standards guides the design of Mitsubishi Electric inverters. These certifications help export- ers who sell machines and systems with embedded inverters. Mitsubishi Electric inverters mean reliability and performance. This makes it possible to operate multiple inverter drives inexpensively with a single safety relay.
Cut costs A standard industrial motor in a typical fan or pump application may only cost a few hundred euros to purchase. However, that same motor will consume hundreds of thou- sands of euros in electricity costs over its operational lifetime. Using an inverter can significantly reduce this outlay. Intelligent solutions for every task Mitsubishi Electric offers four types of inverter: Simple, Economy, Flexible and Advanced. Each has been optimized to offer the very best in control and performance. In addition, depending upon the type selected, Mitsubishi Electric inverters can support the following networks: This extensive communication ability makes it easier to integrate inverter control into larger auto- mation systems.
Driving performance Intelligent solutions for every task Inverters help reduce power consumption and machine wear. Current vector control ensures that this frequency inverter can always deliver high torque, eve n at low speeds. An integrated brake transistor enables direct connection of a brake resistor for better braking perfor- mance. Features include an integrated USB port, safe stop inputs for safety stop function, improved power delivery in the low-speed range, options for controlled shut down and a slot in which you can install one of the many available option cards for the series. Its innovative OEC technology Optimum Excitation Con- trol ensures that exactly the right magnetic flux is always applied to the motor for maxi- mum motor efficiency and minimum power consumption.
For greater flexibility these inverters have four overload ranges, options for controlled shutdown and integrated PLC functions. With their dynamic performance the FR-A inverters are ideal for cranes and hoisting gear, high-shelf storage systems, extruders, centrifuges and winding systems. Among the highlights of this series are the FR-A models, which have an integrated regenerative braking system. No external brake resistor or brake chopper is needed. Powering the future Comprehensive range from ultra compact to ultra powerful FR-F 0.
To achieve this, all areas of auto- mation are evolving to meet these new demands. One area undergoing rapid growth is servo and motion control. The development of high performance servomotors combined with intuitive motion control is replacing traditional movement solutions. Speed and performance Servomotors allow users to create automa- tion solutions that are faster, more precise and more compact.
Mitsubishi Electric has been pushing for- ward the boundaries of servomotor design, creating ultra compact brushless motors. All motors of the MR-ES series have an encoder with a resolution of , pulses per revolution. All motors of the MR-J4 series have an encoder with a resolution of 4,, pulses per second. This permits greater machine speed and accuracy.
The correct parameters are then automatically loaded, ready for operation. This reduces the set-up time and the chance of errors. With such a wide choice of types and series users are sure to find the solution they need. This function sup- presses not only residual vibrations of the machine but also at the end of an arm. Control parameters are opti- mised and resonance frequencies of the machine and the mechanics are detected and filtered. An individual adjustment of sin- gle applications is not needed. The result is a vibration free, high precise und high speed positioning process — only by one click.

That ensures that the project on handover reflects the as-built up to date configuration of the automation project. Here is an overview of some of the networks Mitsubishi Electric provides: Ethernet The standard network for business operations is Ethernet. There are various options available, 10 Mb rate is the most common, but many new installations are operating at Mb transfer rate.
Ether- net can be used with various different protocols. This helps to guarantee and preserve the CC-Link network integrity. Profinet Profinet is an open Industrial Ethernet standard for automation. CANopen Cost effective network communications with fault-resistant network structure where com- ponents from different manufacturers can be integrated quickly and easily. The dedicated AS-Interface sensors are typically more expensive than standard ones but do offer additional diagnostic functions and automatic configuration. This offers high network availability, as cable breaks are auto- matically detected and the active communica- tion channel is automatically re-routed around the suspected break.
While being well established in the office and IT environments, its adoption into automation environments is both rapid and broad ranging. Ethernet is a platform for a very wide range of data communications protocols. This means that a personal computer running standard communi- cations software can read from and write to the PLC CPU sequence program via the Internet. There is also a growing demand for Ethernet to be used as a peer-to-peer network. We recog- nise this important customer requirement and provide peer-to-peer communication with our Ethernet solutions.
This open fieldbus and control network provides fast data communications with different devices. As with all manufacturer specific networks, CC-Link is quickly implemented and is guaran- teed to work. CC-Link is also an open network and therefore allows many third-party products now appearing on the market with CC-Link connectivity. The CC-Link net- work has the capability to have a standby master which can also be used as a remote station. CC-Link IE Control serves firstly as a network for the control level and furthermore implements the manufacturing level, the motion level and the safety level.
In future, the network structure will be uniform at all levels. CC-Link IE Field is a high-speed and high- capacity network able to cope with a mixture of device control data and management data. Other interesting information on the CC-Link IE is provided in a separate brochure which is also available for download. Configuration is carried out via embedded web pages that guide the user through the set-up process. Furthermore, there is storage space for user generated web pages. Model type Series Module Description Art. It provides a wide possible range of compatible devices while delivering fast and robust communication.
Profibus offers users the option to mix devices from different companies. The network allows extremely fast data exchange with a wide variety of slave devices. The GX Configurator DP software and the Profibus master modules combine to give a user-friendly plug and play technology. The configuration software is self-explanatory, using a graphical method to set up the network. You simply select the slave unit, assign the station number and specify where in the PLC the information is stored.
As this is an open network, Mitsubishi Electric Profibus units can also be connected to master and slave devices from other manufacturers. This network type is particularly popu- lar in North America. DeviceNet is a cost-effective solution for network integration of low level terminal equipment. The AS-Interface network has its own distinctive yellow cable which acts as both a communication line and a power supply for connecting devices. By using special coupling bridges, any slave station on the network can be moved and placed at a new location without having to completely rewire or rebuild the network.
This offers high network availability, as cable breaks are automatically detected and the active communication channel is automati- cally re-routed around the suspected break. This allows other PLCs on the network to take up the position of network master should a fault develop with the currently selected master. During operation, all parameters and opera- tional data are available back at the main con- troller due to the communication provided by the SSCNET system bus. Servo amplifier settings can be changed directly from the controller.
It was developed by members of the CAN in Automation interna- tional users and manufacturers group. The CANopen application layer defines a range of communications services and protocols e. CANopen networks are used for connecting sensors, actuators and controllers in industrial control systems, medical equipment, maritime electronics, railways, trams and commercial vehicles. A CANopen bus system has a linear structure to which up to bus stations can be connected. Multiple master stations can be connected to a single bus.
The ends of the linear bus are termi- nated with resistors. Lowering the data rate makes it possible to increase the length of the bus. For example, a transfer rate of kbps allows a bus length of m. This can be increased to a maximum of 5, m with the help of repeaters at 10 kbps.
It is a de facto standard, truly open and a widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment. Modbus allows communication between many devices connected to the same network, for example a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a PC.
Versions of the Modbus protocol exist for serial port and Ethernet. Modbus RTU is a compact, binary representation of the data. The advantages are reduced cabling and the capability of acquiring data and operation results of individual machine modules autonomously. Product Range Module Type No. Position- ing tasks or frequency measurements for example can be performed. Data exchange with peripherals These modules allow communication with peripheral devices through a standard RSC interface.
The peripherals are con- nected point to point 1: The role of the organisation is to provide information, education, and the promotion of CC-Link technology and CLPA partner products throughout Europe. One of the primary responsibilities of the organisation is to provide techni- cal support to CLPA partners who plan to incorporate CC-Link compatibility in their products. Promotional activities include educational seminars, exhibiting at trade shows, trade press coverage, mailings and web-based listings.

The uncompromisingly modular architecture of the system also extends to its support for a wide range of fieldbus systems. You can install different head stations for different protocols, depending on the needs of your applications. Optimised for real-life requirements z Module granularity: Mixed configurations of analog word-wise communication and digital bit-wise com- munication modules are supported.
The stations have a large range of application protocols. The Ethernet head station also has an integrated server for web-based applications. Power supply module The power supply modules deliver power to the bus terminals at the required volt- ages. When configuring the system it is important that the total current does not exceed the maximum current flowing through the power input terminals. If this is the case an additional power supply module needs to be installed. The power supply module with bus power supply increases the capacity of the system power supply for field bus nodes with high power requirements sum of the internal power consumption values of the bus terminals.
Additional power supply modules with bus power supply can be installed as required. The end module terminates the internal terminals bus and ensures reliable data communications. They are used for inputting control signals from the field, for example from sensors. Every input has an interference suppression filter, using a variety of time constants. Digital output modules Digital output modules are available with 4 or 8 outputs. They are used to send con- trol signals from the automation controller to the connected actuators.
All the outputs are short-circuit proofed. The field and system levels are electrically isolated from one another in all digital input and output modules. Digital relay output module The relay output modules have two make contacts. The relays have floating contacts and are actuated with the internal system voltage. The control status of each relay is indicated by an LED. Actuators with PE connections can be wired directly. The input signal is electrically isolated and is transferred to the system level with a resolution of 12 bits. The modules are powered by the internal system power supply.
The input channels of the modules have a common ground.
Not Found (#404)
Analog output modules The analog output modules with current outputs generate standard 4—20 mA signals. The output signal is electrically isolated and is transferred to the system level with a resolution of 12 bits. The power for the current output modules comes from the field power supply.
The outputs of the voltage output modules are short-circuit proofed, have a common reference potential and are powered by the internal system power supply. The module linearises the data across the entire sup- ported temperature range. Short circuits, sensor cable breaks and out-of-range values are signalled by a red error LED. Special function modules Incremental encoder input module This module provides an interface for incremental encoders with an RS port. A counter with a quadrature decoder and a null point signal latch can be read and activated by the controller.
The controller can also set the counter. In the corre- sponding operating mode, a rising edge signal at the input then loads the counter value into the latch register and initialises the counter. The gate input can be used to lock the counter. The ref input can be used to activate the null point function.
User experience usability
The module uses cam outputs to signal whether the counter value is within the predefined windows. The module provides the power supply for the encoder. An input is used to switch between Up and Down counting. The control byte can be used to switch two digital outputs and to set and reset the counter. It is also possible to lock the counter.
To read out the transmitter the module emits a clock signal and represents the data flow as a data word in the process image. Control registers can be used to set different operating modes, transmission frequencies and bit widths. The transmitter can be powered directly by the power output from the module. The serial interface module enables connection of devices with an RSC port. The connected device can then communicate directly with the controller via the fieldbus head station. The extension modules are designed as a 2-component system, that means they consist of electronic modules for the function and base modules as modular backplane bus available with two types of terminals: The electronic modules can be clipped easily in the base modules without any tool.
The combined unit can then be mounted on a DIN rail. Exchange of the electronic modules can be made on-line, so the system keeps running. Re-wiring is not needed. Every electronic module provides LEDs for quick and easy diagnostics and also additional information. Error and status messages are also shown on the basic module.
However, two types of base modules featuring spring clamp terminals or screw clamp terminals are available. Choose the best solution for your special application. The station number can be set via DIP switches on the basic module. LEDs show the status of the connected systems. You need 1 ST1PSD with H-type base module beside the basic module to oper- ate the ST station, a second or more using the R-type base module are only needed depending on the power consumption of the connected items see bottom of this page.
Diagnosis can be made via the head module. The number of ST1PDD modules needed can be calculated individually by addition of the current consumption of all con- nected devices. The electronic module is fitted in a base module, which can be installed on a stand- ard DIN rail. The TPE3 models provide advanced pro- tection functions e. The electronic modules are fitted in a base module, which can be installed on a standard DIN rail. When the output section protection function is working, LED indicates it and signal is output to head module automatic reset.

Modules are available in 16 point input or out- put with screw terminals mounted on the mod- ule, higher densities of 32 and 64 point require a connector, cable and terminal block.
Dimensions WxHxD mm x98x The choice is dependent on the power consumption of the individual modules this is especially important when using multiple CPUs. These CPUs were developed especially for appli- cations where compact system configuration is important. Flexible system configuration that suits a wide range of applications is possible due to a varied set of functions and a well designed program- ming, configuration and debugging environ- ment.
All versions are upwardly compatible. They can be com- bined with the motion, robot and NC CPUs to configure scalable and highly flexible modular automation systems. The MELSEC Process Con- trol system is best suited for food manufacturing and chemical plant applications, where liquid or solid materials are stored in a tank and a level must be maintained within a specific range. This is the key to a redundant system and high availability.
Down time and costs for re-starting are also dramati- cally reduced. The higher hardware costs for a redundant system are negligible when com- pared to the reduced costs in case of an error. If the control system fails, the standby system takes over without interruption of the process.
The modular concept allows different stages of redundancy: Redundant power supply, redundant control systems, redundant network modules. Existing hardware can be used. The availability of these networks can be increased by using redundant master modules. Using the worldwide established real time operating system VxWorks, the realisation of complex tasks, communication and protocols becomes very easy.

In addition to the other advantages this enables you to switch programs at very short notice, simply by replacing a cassette. There are six series in the FX family, each of which is designed for a different application profile. The following section provides an overview of options available. All PLC base units include an integrated real time clock. To connect adapter modules e. The current values for the special function modules can be found in the specifications on the following pages. Comparison with the current value tables show that the calculated figures for the 5 V bus lie within the allowable ranges.
In the example below all units can be supplied sufficiently with the internal 24 V power supply. An external 24 V power supply has to be added in the example above. All cables and interfaces have to be ordered separately due to the specific application. All GT15 cables can be used for GT16, too. The following table shows an overview of the available cables. This means they deliver double the performance of the competing inverters with the same rating. Mitsubishi Electric inverters also have active current limiting.
This provides the perfect response characteristics of the current vector system and gives you the confidence you need for demanding drive applications. The system instantly identifies overcurrents and limits them automatically with its fast response, allowing the motor to continue operating normally at the current threshold. Mitsubishi Electric inverters are real energy savers achieving maximum drive capacity utilisation with minimum power consumption. Flux optimisation ensures that the connected motor only gets exactly the amount of magnetic flux required for optimum efficiency.

Thereupon the motor coasts to a halt. Compared to the traditional technology with contactors, this integrated Safety function reduces the effort in hardware, wiring and maintenance and offers higher per- formance and lifetime.
The sensorless vector control system of the FR-A series enables fast, high-precision speed and torque regulation, even when using general-purpose motors without an encoder. Regeneration avoidance function The regeneration avoidance function can prevent the inverter from being shut down by regenerative overvoltages when strong regenerative loads cause power to be released into the frequency inverter for example when braking the motor or with loads that actively drive the motor.
The inverter can automatically increase the output frequency or disable the braking ramp when a programmed threshold value is reached. The response sensitivity, dynamics and working range are all adjustable. For example, this function can prevent a shut- down with an overvoltage error when the speed of a fan controlled by the inverter is increased by the draft from another fan operating in the same ventilation duct. The function then temporarily increases the output frequency above the setpoint value.
This function can also be used to brake loads with the DC bus voltage, without using braking modules.
