EPFL and Solvay team up on an atomic-scale modeling project

EPFL — through the National Centre of Competence in Research MARVEL — recently signed an agreement with the firm Solvay. The aim of this partnership is to use quantum modeling to gain greater insight into physical and chemical phenomena and predict innovative materials and composites with a promising range of properties.

ChemAlive - MARVEL collaboration wins grant to boost machine learning approaches to real-time chemical and reaction modelling

Founded in December 2014, ChemAlive ( has already gained contract business with customers such as Biosynth in Switzerland and internationally with Saudi Aramco (Aramco Services Center) to validate quantum chemistry in an industrial setting and guide the design of specific on-line tools to be launched as a software as a service (SaaS) in the third quarter of 2018. ChemAlive has also won the support of influential start-up accelerators, taking away the Gold Award, for example, from the MassChallenge Accelerator.

Web platform “Materials Cloud” could help industry streamline research efforts

Materials Cloud (, a new web platform developed to help computational materials scientists share their work and promote open science, may also offer advantages to industrial partners more concerned with IP.

Scientific Highlight

The image shows the two-dimensional TiO2 structure with its hexagonal lattice in the top left with the incident photons represented by a beam of light. As water molecules enter from the bottom left, they dissociate into their constituents, O2 and H2.

2D or not 2D? MARVEL algorithm answers the question

Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, are a new and exciting class of materials. No more than a few atomic layers thick, they have the most extraordinary properties, making them attractive for all kinds of applications. However, despite high expectations, progress in identifying new 2D materials has been slow: to date, only a few dozen have been identified experimentally. In their just-out Nature Nanotechnology paper, which made the cover page, "Two-dimensional materials from high-throughput computational exfoliation of experimentally know compounds", a team led by MARVEL director Nicola Marzari takes a computational route towards improving that count.

Supreme Scrap Tournament - Challenge 2

Hi everyone,

I am back with another post, to show you my LO for the second challenge of the Supreme Scrap Tournament.
This one, I must admit, was really a tough one, more so than I thought originally.

The rules were as follows:
Make a monochromatic colour layout

1. Pages:
2 pages Layout (double page!)
2. Theme:
You can choose your own theme
3. Colour LO:
The monochromatic color scheme you use is up to you
4. How many Photos:
 Minimum of 1 photo
5. Photos:
- One photo must be partly on the left and partly on the right page
- One photo needs to be black and white
6. Not to be used:
- You are restricted from using black anywhere on the layout including, ink, paint, pen lines, journaling or any other elements.
- There is not to be black on the page with the exception of your black and white photo(s).
- You can not use brown to antique elements unless brown is the colour you  choose for your monochromatic colour scheme.
7. Materials you may use:
embellishments, inkt, media stuff, everything that you want in the monochromatic colour.

xxxmmmmm.... yes, quite a tough challenge, and I found these cute photographs of my niece that I took in January, and decided to scrap them with a warm grey!!! yip, grey! Turned out to be much tougher than I had imagined. I didn't have the exact shade I was after, so I mixed my own spray ink using some pearly off-white paint, some black ink and a touch of mahogany coloured ink to give me the warm tone.

I wanted the focus on the photographs, so I went for a simpler uncluttered LO.

So here it is, #yummy strawberries!!!

Some detailed shots

... and one last shot, just in case there were any doubts about the colours in the LO,
a photo with pure black and white paper photographed on the background for which I used one of the papers from Dear Lizzy's line, 5th and frolic. I misted over the paper to get rid of the white!!

Let me know what you think & thank you for looking!!!!

Supreme Scrap Tournament - Challenge one!!

I decided to take part in the Supreme Scrap Tournament that was organized by some very gutsy ladies over here!!!!
The first challenge they set for us was: to make a double page LO, featuring at least 3 photographs, NO MISTS what so ever, and show them where we live, withing 1000 steps that is!!

This is my take on the first challenge.

"Kipseli by night", is what I chose as the title.

I live in the most populated area of Athens Greece, and I think it is much prettier at night, so, my photographs, document a walk down to a pedestrian street lined with cafeterias and restaurants. I used Echo Park "Here and now" collection. I stenciled with gesso over two areas of my LO to add some texture, and then only some stamping and empellishments were used.

some detailed shots

Hope you like it, and thank you for stopping by !!!

Neptune RLSC Tallebudgera Beach Mon, 23 Jul 2018 03:21:44 +0000 en hourly 1 Storm preparations tested Wed, 28 Jun 2017 07:54:31 +0000 Representatives from police, fire, Surf Life Saving Queensland and the Gold Coast council have been testing the city’s ability to deal with a severe storm event.

Operation Trident has been conducted in the Tallebudgera Valley overnight, simulating torrential rain and high winds.

Mayor Tom Tate says it is about being ready for the real thing.

“It was all hands on deck and this simulated disaster is really to highlight what weakness we may have in our disaster management but at the same time trying to coordinate all of the services together,” he said.

“What’s come through is to show information flow and a few other things we can improve, so that’s what we’re taking away from this exercise.”

Koala and joey released Wed, 28 Jun 2017 07:43:53 +0000 The koala and joey, nicknamed Lottie and Lucky, were attacked by four dogs in Tallebudgera in early April.

The dogs’ owners called Wildcare Australia, who rushed them to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital (CWH), where they underwent extensive surgery and treatment.

CWH vet nurse Fiona Gunn said the quick actions saved the koalas’ lives.

“It is a remarkable story, she’s a very lucky girl,” she said.

“This really is such a joy today to be able to bring mum and bub back here and release them back into the wild.”

Lottie was suffering extensive defensive injuries when she arrived at the hospital.

“Joey was lucky enough to scoot underneath a fence and didn’t have any injuries,” Ms Gunn said.

“But we’ve been rehabilitating mum for the last three weeks.”

Wildcare volunteer Jan Nilsson said it was good to see the pair back in the wild.

“We have a lot of sad stories where the koalas we pick up don’t make it,” he said.

“So it’s a very good outcome when we actually get to release one.”

However releasing the marsupials back into the wild is a bittersweet moment.

“You feel yourself get choked up,” Ms Gunn said.

“Everybody has really put in such an effort to get them to the point where we can release them.”

The CWH is urging dogs owners to keep their pets inside at night when koalas are out.

Pacific Highway Reopened Sun, 11 Jun 2017 22:39:10 +0000 UPDATE: The Pacific highway has reopened again after earlier being closed because of floodwaters.

The closure, about 5 kilometres south of Tweed is still covered in water but has been reopened to traffic.

Dozens of cars who earlier attempted to drive through the floodwaters litter the road after failing to make it through.

Even some cars in the first group to be let through died on their way, leaving drivers and passengers stranded.

The above video was taken from one of the first cars allowed through the water.

EARLIER: IF the flooding wasn’t such a serious issue, Gold Coasters would normally rejoice that people from New South Wales couldn’t get over the border.

But this morning, the major link between both states has been cut by flooding, causing major issues for people in NSW trying to reach the airport.

The Pacific Motorway is closed between Clotheirs Creek Rd and Tweed Coast Rd in both directions leaving no accessible route between the Gold and Tweed Coasts via local roads.

Motorists are advised to use the New England Hwy which is only accessed in Northern NSW via the Gwydir Hwy from Grafton.

It’s also bad news if you’re planning a day trip to Byron Bay with the Pacific Motorway closed at the Tugun Tunnel southbound due to flooding at Chinderah.

Gold Coasters can still reach the airport via the Gold Coast Hwy.

Chinderah residents Reegan Tate and Laynie Tate check the mail during flooding at their Chinderah Road residence.

  • Tugun Bypass, closed at Stewart due to flooding at Chindrah.
  • Tweed Valley Way, closed in both directions due to flooding
  • Pacific Motorway, closed between Clotheirs Creek Rd and Tweed Coast Rd in both directions due to flooding

Wallpapers Pack: Abstract & 3D Fractals

In Wallpapers by nsnzLeave a Comment

Around 2009 I started to play around with 3D Software other than Maya. I dropped out halfway through my Computer Animation degree, and I always found 3D Computer Graphics very useful because of  the potential power you can use it: create anything you want. From hyper realistic films, to animated features.

In my case, I took a more random and procedural approach to see what happened.  So this is the result! What started as a hobby, led me in a surprising path I’ve taken as a person. It was meant to be just for fun, and still is of course. But In 2011, an editor for 3DArtist Magazine contacted me through deviantArt after she came across “Soma Collapse” and asked me if I was interested to do an article on how I made these images. And that was it. Just reading that, transformed my skill set as a creative professional ($$$ with a Mouse and a Wacom Pen) and it propelled me to push further, not just as a designer, but as an artist, a technical one.

So here is a compilation of 18 images that can be used as wallpapers, backgrounds, or however you see fit. For presentations, or websites, having a small credit is more than enough.

Voicing | New Found Pianos Gulf

Voicing is an adjustment of the hammer felt in your piano to achieve a full, smooth, even and pleasing tone in your piano. This procedure may involve the needling of the hammer head in different areas to produce the optimal sound intended for that piano, the reshaping of the hammer head to restore. the intended oval striking point or the addition of specialist hammer hardeners or softeners to produce the desired effects. Voicing is an art form of its own and often completed by a professional who has not only studied the subject but also gained extensive hands on experience.

The common complaint we get is that the piano “sounds too harsh” and this is an adequate way of describing what eventually happens to every piano hammer. After years of use and thousands of strikes against the piano string, Hammers naturally become compacted and deeply indented. The need to reshape the piano hammers back to their intended oval shape (and then subsequently adjust certain regulation points in the Action) is needed to bring back the intended and much more enjoyable original tone and timbre of the individual instrument. Long before a piano hammer exceeds its wear cycle, maintenance can be done to bring back the tone you thought was lost forever.

May 11th, 2018

(Fort Sumner, New Mexico) –Two full days of activity are planned at the Bosque Redondo Memorial Site at Fort Sumner June 8 and 9 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Navajo Treaty of 1868, the formation of the Navajo Nation, and the 50th anniversary of the Fort Sumner Historic Site The events include a seven-mile walk June 9 from the memorial to Fort Sumner High School, oral histories from direct descendants of Long Walk survivors, tribal dances and a rare opportunity to see the long-missing copy of the Treaty.

“The two-days of events at Bosque Redondo are scheduled to follow Navajo vice president Jonathan Nez’s 400-mile run from Fort Sumner to Window Rock and the Navajo Nation’s commemoration events of the Treaty anniversary and the Dine’ people’s return to their homelands,” said Patrick Moore, Director of New Mexico Historic sites which oversees the Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner.

“We are especially honored that before they begin the 19-day journey, vice president Nez and his team will participate in a day of prayer at the Bosque Redondo site starting at 4:00 p.m. the day after our annual Gourd Dance,” Moore said.  The Third Annual Gourd Dance gathering this Saturday, May 12, from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.  Beginning at 8 p.m., Joe Tohonnie Jr. and the White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers will be performing their fire dance to close the ceremonies.

Nez and his runners will leave from the Fort Sumner Community House at 7:00 a.m., Monday, May 14. The Bosque Redondo Memorial will remain closed, per the site’s usual admission schedule- closed Mondays & Tuesdays, open Wednesdays through Sunday. More information about vice president Nez’s run can be found in at this link:

The public is cordially invited to participate in the weekend of free activities at the Bosque Redondo Memorial site at Fort Sumner to commemorate this solemn anniversary of the Signing of the Navajo Treaty of 1868 and the sacrifice, fortitude, strength and great resilience of the Navajo and Mescalero Apache people. This landmark treaty greatly influenced the recovery of both tribes and established their autonomy. In the period since the Navajo Treaty of 1868 was signed, the Navajo Nation has grown from the original 5,200 square miles to 27,413 square miles today with a population of nearly 300,000 and the Mescalero Apache to 4,000.

"The Department of Cultural Affairs is proud to be part of this solemn anniversary, which both acknowledges this shameful episode in our history, and recognizes and celebrates the remarkable strength, tenacity, resilience and significant contributions that have come from the descendants, as well as those who endured The Long Walk,” said Department of Cultural Affairs Secretary Veronica N. Gonzales. “We are also honored to commemorate the signing of this treaty, which established the Navajo Nation as a sovereign nation."

During the June events, author and historian C.P. ‘Kitty” Weaver and her husband, David, will be present with a third copy of the 17-page treaty, which will be on view. The third copy of the treaty was recently authenticated by the National Archives. Weaver is the great-grandniece of Indian Peace Commissioner Samuel F. Tappan (1831–1913), who, along with William T. Sherman, negotiated with Navajo leaders Barboncito, Manuelito, and others, to draft the Navajo Treaty of 1868. For more information about the third treaty:

Throughout the two-day commemoration at the Bosque Redondo Memorial, Native artisans will be on-site offering traditional jewelry, weavings and food.

On Friday, June 8, the commemorative weekend events begin with an opportunity for a sneak peek of the new exhibition at Bosque Redondo from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. with feedback sessions held throughout the day.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, attendees have a break to purchase lunch available from on-site vendors.

From 1-3 p.m., there will be a series of speakers including: Manuelito Wheeler, director of the Navajo Nation Museum; Holly Houghton, Mescalero Apache Tribal Historic Preservation Office; exhibit designers Eldon Potter/Bryan Potter of Bryan Potter Design; Morgen Young, project historian and historical research associate, and Jeff Pappas, State Historic Preservation Officer and director of the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division.

From 3- 4:30 p.m., there will be a sharing of oral histories. Among those sharing their family stories will be Suzanne Hudson, a Navajo tribal member who tells the stories handed down from her fourth and third great grandmothers who were at the Bosque Redondo concentration camp.  Suzanne tells her ancestors’ stories through pictorial quilts she has crafted.

On Saturday, from 10 a.m. to noon will be the formal commemoration of the Navajo Treaty of 1868 with speakers from the Navajo Nation, Mescalaro Apache Tribe, and New Mexico government. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. lunch will available from on-site vendors. At noon there will be cultural dances and presentations. From 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. there will be a commemorative 7-mile walk of remembrance from the Bosque Redondo Memorial to Fort Sumer High School. Visitors are encouraged to participate.

About New Mexico Historic Sites: On March 14, 1931, the New Mexico Historic Site system was established by an Act for the Preservation of the Scientific Resources of New Mexico, to "declare by public proclamation that historic and prehistoric structures and other objects of scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the State of New Mexico, shall be state monuments, and may reserve as a part thereof such parcels of land as may be necessary to the proper care and management of the objects to be protected." Under the direction of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, six sites are open to the public: Coronado, Fort SeldenFort Stanton, Fort Sumner Historic Site/Bosque Redondo Memorial, Jemez, and Lincoln. The Los Luceros Historic Property is open to the public during scheduled events and by appointment (505) 476-1130.

In 2004, the J. Paul Taylor Family bequeathed the Barela-Reynolds House and Property on the Mesilla Plaza to the Department of Cultural Affairs.  Still serving as J. Paul Taylor’s private home, the property will become a Historic Site after his passing.

South Korea’s Moon Faces Push at Home and Abroad to Alter North Korea Policy

Pro-Diplomacy President Under Pressure to 'Get Tough'

Earlier this summer, South Korea elected President Moon Jae-in, an outspoken advocate of diplomacy with North Korea. This was immediately viewed with some suspicion among US officials, who were already downplaying the idea of diplomacy as an approach.

Soaring tensions between the US and North Korea have seen President Trump rebuking Moon, accusing him of a policy of “appeasement.” Internally, President Moon is also facing calls to “get tough” on North Korea.

Moon had tried to placate the US by offering conditions on talks, including warning that talks would be impossible if a nuclear test occurred. Now that the test has happened, Moon risks having hemmed himself into that position.

Any return to the Sunshine policy was always going to be difficult to pull off amid this tension. Now, while Moon remains popular, he doesn’t appear to have everybody on board with his North Korea policy.

Some topical costumes stole the show: the software pirate is every developer’s worst enemy; the Halloween daemon is lurking where you lest suspect her; the Constellation homebuilder fixed a warranty issue, then the world’s worst handyman broke it; and the sheriff of Constellation kept the situation from getting out of control.

Who would you vote for to take home the prize?

State budget problems force cuts; crowdfunders step up for Cahokia Mounds | St. Louis Public Radio

State budget problems force cuts; crowdfunders step up for Cahokia Mounds

Feb 25, 2015

Faced with declining revenue, the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society has turned to crowdfunding to raise $7,500 to print the informational brochures that are currently handed out at the world-renowned landmark, which is the largest prehistoric Indian site north of Mexico. The goal for the brochures was reached shortly after noon on Feb. 25 but has been fluctuating.

About 50,000 brochures are distributed every year at the state historic site, located in Collinsville. Lori Belknap, executive director of the society, says a volunteer came up with the idea for the campaign, and about $550 had been pledged as of Feb. 23.

The society believes the brochure helps explain the significance of Cahokia Mounds and is an important takeaway for visitors.

(Note: After this article first appeared on Feb. 24, fundraising shot up.)

The Cahokia Mounds crowdfunding effort is another example of the impact state budget cuts are having in Illinois. When the state reduced hours at the site last September to save money, the society lost about 20 percent of expected revenue from the gift shop it operates in the interpretive center.

The state funds the operational expenses of Cahokia Mounds, but the society raises about $300,000 a year to pay for activities, research and promotion of the site, Belknap says.

“We provide a budget to the site manager to use at his discretion -- to meet the needs that aren’t being filled by the state,’’ she said.

That includes popular educational activities like Kids Day, equinox and solstice observances, arts programs and a lecture series.

The society raises funds through donations and memberships but depends heavily on gift shop sales.

Though the grounds are open seven days a week, the site’s interpretive center is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The two-day closure is usually in effect from November through April, but the cuts forced the site to adopt its winter schedule in September, two months earlier than normal.

“So instead of closing in November two days a week, they closed us in September two days a week. That cut our visitation by roughly about 20 percent for two extra months. That cripples our revenue coming in from the gift shop,’’ Belknap says.

She believes they won’t run out of brochures until the end of the year, but is worried that there is no money in the budget to print more.

“It means that we’ll have to come up with the money,’’ she said. “It will be a matter of cutting something out somewhere."

The Mississippian Indians built Cahokia Mounds, developing a city that by about A.D. 1200 was larger than London, England.

Belknap says the brochures provide a detailed explanation of the earthen mounds for the site’s visitors, about 280,000 people every year.

“We feel it’s an important part of the interpretive puzzle. People come in and can tour the gallery, but most people don’t read all the material in a gallery,’’ she said. “We want them to take it home and learn. And we want them to pass the information along.’’

She hopes to raise enough money to fund three years’ worth of brochures.

The site, which is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, is not only a National Historic Landmark but in 1982 was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Belknap says the worry now is that the two-day closure will be indefinite, which would cut attendance during spring and summer when many local schools and tourists visit the site.

And more changes could be on the way. Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed transferring Cahokia Mounds and other state historic sites from the historic preservation agency to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, where they would be administered by the state tourism office.

“Things are uncertain. We don’t know any details yet,’’ said Bill Iseminger, assistant site manager.

Rauner’s plan would also have to be approved by the state legislature, Iseminger noted.

He and Belknap agree that Cahokia Mounds would benefit from more promotion by the state, which currently provides no budget for marketing.

Through the years, Cahokia Mounds has been featured by the Smithsonian Institution, National Geographic magazine and cable channels like Discovery and the History Channel, but Iseminger says he still meets local residents who are unaware of the significance of the site.

“I always kind of jokingly say that if we’d had a stone pyramid instead of an earthen mound people would certainly be more aware of us,’’ he said.

Iseminger, who has worked at Cahokia Mounds for 40 years, said the site is unique and attracts international visitors. Cahokia Mounds is the only World Heritage Site in Illinois and one of only 22 in the U.S.

“Monks Mound itself is not only the largest mound here, but it’s the largest prehistoric earthwork in all of north or south America -- the largest totally earthen mound built by ancient people. And that’s a fact that a lot of people don’t realize,’’ Iseminger said. “The base of the mound covers more area than the Great Pyramid of Egypt or the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan [in Mexico]. It’s not as tall, but it still was a major engineering feat to build, one basket of dirt at a time.’’

Monks Mound contains about 22 million cubic feet of earth -- a fact that visitors will find in the colorful brochure, along with photos and a map of the site. Iseminger says the information is an important takeaway for visitors.

“It reminds them of what they just saw,’’ he said.

Belknap said she understands the state’s budget constraints -- and that the historic preservation agency has a responsibility to all of the sites it manages. But she believes Cahokia Mounds is special because it's a World Heritage Site.

“I don’t understand -- and this is just me speaking for myself -- I don’t really understand why the state doesn’t put more of an importance on that. But I understand what they’re dealing with, and their hands are tied in many repects. So we just have to do the best we can with what we have,’’ she said. “Everybody’s dealing with a bad situation at the moment.’’

Coppersmithing: A Centuries-Old Craft Lives On

Published On May 7, 2015

Coppersmithing is one of the world’s oldest trades, dating back 60 centuries by some estimates. In Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, the native P’urhépecha were considered the world’s most advanced metallurgists of pre-Hispanic times. With skills honed and passed on since the 16th century, 82 percent of the population continues to work in copper crafting – in fact, there are an estimated 2,000 coppersmiths working in more than 300 workshops; many of them are direct descendants of the early P’urhépecha.

Thompson Traders, manufacturers of copper vessels and tubs for the home, has a special connection to Santa Clara del Cobre coppersmithing. Founder and Creative Director Alejandra Ochoa de Thompson grew up in the region, giving her a unique understanding of the people engaged in the craft. Thompson Traders owns the factory in which their products are made and works hand-in-hand with the coppersmiths they employ to create copper designs in the authentic Santa Clara del Cobre tradition.

Hand crafting a copper vessel is a lengthy and laborious process, sometimes requiring weeks from start to finish. The process begins by melting the copper into a pancake-shaped ingot. The ingot is heated in a fire then hammered into shape. After the metal has cooled, the process is repeated – over and over – until the desired design has been achieved.

The human touch is evident in every hand-crafted copper vessel, most notably in the dimples – each representing a single stroke of the coppersmith’s hammer. No two pieces are alike. And every piece perpetuates the coppersmithing legacy of Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico.

text: TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX) It is spring and smoke is in the air, no not from wildfires, but from seasonal burning. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has sent out a reminder and tips on burning things such as yard waste and fields. You can find the full list of Q&A for burning right HERE. Ultimately, DEQ recommends people find other ways of disposal instead of burning, such as recycling paper, compost yard waste or donate certain materials. However, DEQ says if a person must use fire to get rid of materials to check with local fire departments and the Idaho Department of Lands to see if a permit is required to burn. Also, check the DEQ's Daily Air Quality Reports and Forecast page for notifications if burning is regulated in certain areas of the state. There are also a number of items that are not allowed to be burned: garbage, dead animals or animal waste, tires, plastic, paints, lumber or timers treated with preservatives and a number of other items that you can find in the DEQ Q&A A permit is always needed for prescribed burning and crop residue burning.

North Korea 2nd ICBM test puts much of US in range: experts

Of The Associated Press

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea on Friday test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic missile, which flew longer and higher than the first according to its wary neighbors, leading analysts to conclude that a wide swath of the U.S., including Los Angeles and Chicago, is now within range of Pyongyang's weapons.

Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said the missile, launched late Friday night, flew for about 45 minutes — about five minutes longer than the ICBM North Korea test-fired on July 4. The missile was launched on very high trajectory, which limited the distance it traveled, and landed west of Japan's island of Hokkaido.

“We assess that this missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile, as had been expected,” Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt. Jeff Davis said in Washington.

Analysts had estimated that the North's first ICBM could have reached Alaska, and said Friday that the latest missile appeared to extend that range significantly.

David Wright, a physicist and co-director of the global security program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in Washington that if reports of the missile's maximum altitude and flight time are correct, it would have a theoretical range of at least 10,400 kilometers (about 6,500 miles). That means it could have reached Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago, depending on variables such as the size and weight of the warhead that would be carried atop such a missile in an actual attack.

Bruce Klingner, a Korean and Japanese affairs specialist at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington, said, “It now appears that a significant portion of the continental United States is within range” of North Korean missiles.

The U.S. and South Korea responded Saturday by conducting joint live-fire exercises. The U.S. 8th Army said the training event utilizing the Army Tactical Missile System and South Korea's Hyunmoo Missile II was conducted to demonstrate their “precision firing capability” and “exercise assets countering North Korea's missile launch.”

Washington and its allies have watched with growing concern as Pyongyang has made significant progress toward its goal of having all of the U.S. within range of its missiles to counter what it labels as U.S. aggression. There are other hurdles, including building nuclear warheads to fit on those missiles and ensuring reliability. But many analysts have been surprised by how quickly leader Kim Jong Un has developed North Korea's nuclear and missile programs despite several rounds of U.N. Security Council sanctions that have squeezed the impoverished country's economy.

President Donald Trump has said he will not allow North Korea to obtain an ICBM that can deliver a nuclear warhead. But this week, the Defense Intelligence Agency reportedly concluded that the North will have a reliable ICBM capable of carrying a nuclear weapon as early as next year, in an assessment that trimmed two years from the agency's earlier estimate.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called the launch a “serious and real threat” to the country's security.

Suga, the Japanese spokesman, said Japan has lodged a strong protest with North Korea. “North Korea's repeated provocative acts absolutely cannot be accepted,” he said.

The French Foreign Ministry condemned the launch and called for “strong and additional sanctions” by the United Nations and European Union. “Only maximal diplomatic pressure might bring North Korea to the negotiating table,” the ministry said in a statement.

“This is a 4G threat: global, grave, given and growing,” France's U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre told The Associated Press. That's why we call for a firm and quick reaction including the adoption of strong additional sanctions by the Security Council."

A spokesman for Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday that Dunford met at the Pentagon with the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, Adm. Harry Harris, to discuss U.S. military options in light of North Korea's missile test.

The spokesman, Navy Capt. Greg Hicks, said Dunford and Harris placed a phone call to Dunford's South Korean counterpart, Gen. Lee Sun Jin. Dunford and Harris “expressed the ironclad commitment to the U.S.-Republic of Korea alliance,” Hicks said, referring to the U.S. defense treaty that obliges the U.S. to defend South Korea.

Prime Minister Abe said Japan would cooperate closely with the U.S., South Korea and other nations to step up pressure on North Korea to halt its missile programs.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile reached an estimated height of 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) before landing at sea about 1,000 kilometers (625 miles) away. It appeared to be more advanced than the ICBM North Korea previously launched, it said.

The “Hwasong 14” ICBM test-fired earlier this month was also launched at a very steep angle, a technique called lofting, and reached a height of more than 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) before splashing down in the ocean 930 kilometers (580 miles) away. Analysts said that missile could be capable of reaching most of Alaska or possibly Hawaii if fired in an attacking trajectory.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile was launched from North Korea's northern Jagang province near the border with China. President Moon Jae-in presided over an emergency meeting of the National Security Council, which called for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council and stronger sanctions on North Korea.

There was no immediate confirmation of the launch by North Korea. The day's broadcast on state-run television had already ended when the news broke at around midnight Pyongyang time.

July 27 is a major national holiday in North Korea called Victory in the Fatherland Liberation War Day, marking the day when the armistice was signed ending the 1950-53 Korean War. That armistice is yet to be replaced with a peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula technically in a state of war.

North Korea generally waits hours or sometimes a day or more before announcing launches, often with a raft of photos in the ruling party newspaper or on the television news. Kim Jong Un is usually shown at the site to observe and supervise major launches.

Late night launches are rare. North Korea usually conducts its missile and underground nuclear tests in the morning. It's likely the North launched the missile at night and from the remote province of Jagang to demonstrate its operational versatility. To have a real deterrent, it's important for North Korea to prove it can launch whenever and wherever it chooses, making it harder for foreign military observers trying to detect their activities ahead of time.

Yamaguchi reported from Tokyo. Associated Press writers Robert Burns in Washington, Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul, South Korea, and Elaine Ganley in Paris contributed to this report.

GREEN BAY – August 15, 2014 – Associated Banc-Corp (NASDAQ: ASBC) announced today the retirement of Gordy Weber, from commercial and corporate banking, after 44 years of dedicated service. Weber will retire on December 31, 2014.

When Weber joined Associated as an assistant cashier in 1970, the company was just one year shy of celebrating the union of its three founding banks – First National Bank of Neenah, Kellogg Citizens National Bank and Manitowoc Savings Bank.

In 1983 he was named Chief Lending Officer/Chief Investment Officer and Secretary of the Board. In 1986, he served as Chief Executive Officer for Associated Bank Lakeshore, a former subsidiary. In 1993, Weber became President and CEO of Associated’s Southeast Wisconsin Region, and then in 2000, President of Corporate Banking.

Since 2010, Weber has successfully addressed business development opportunities throughout the bank’s footprint while in a Senior Business Development Executive role. In this role he has also acted as an advisor to leaders within Commercial and Corporate Banking.

“Throughout his tenure, Gordy has shown an undying commitment to his many loyal clients and colleagues,” said Donna Smith, executive vice president, head of corporate banking, Associated Bank. “His leadership and accomplishments will remain with Associated and in the community far beyond his retirement.”

Weber is also active in the community in the greater Milwaukee area and throughout the company’s footprint. He currently serves on Boards of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee and Marquette High School. In Milwaukee, he has also served on the Board for the Greater Milwaukee United Way, dedicated time and service to the United Performing Arts Fund, Inc. and helped establish one of the first Urban Scholarships for Marquette University. In Manitowoc, Weber was actively involved with the United Way, Holy Family Memorial Hospital, Manitowoc Maritime Museum, Silver Lake College, and the YMCA.

“I can’t imagine wanting to have worked anywhere other than Associated,” said Weber. “The quality of people at Associated – both colleagues and customers – is outstanding. They have been part of my family for the past 44 years.”

President Trump Orders Federal Ban on Bump Stocks

President Donald Trump on Feb. 20 signed a directive ordering Attorney General Jeff Sessions to craft regulations banning so-called bump stocks, which add a rapid fire function to semi-automatic rifles.

Besides bump stocks, the directive also calls for the ban of other devices that turn semi-automatic firearms into automatic weapons.

Trump told Sessions he wants the new federal guidelines finalized “very soon.”

Automatic weapons are outlawed in the United States, but bump stocks allow semi-automatic rifles to operate with bursts of gunfire similar to automatic weapons.

The devices received nationwide attention following a mass shooting in October last year in Las Vegas in which 58 people were killed. A number of semi-automatic rifles equipped with bump-stocks were found in the hotel room of the suspected shooter.

Following the Las Vegas mass shooting, the White House said it welcomed efforts by lawmakers to look into bump stocks and related devices.

“We know that members of both parties and multiple organizations are planning to take a look at bump stocks and related devices. We certainly welcome that, we’d like to be part of that conversation,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Oct. 5, 2017.

She said the administration would like to get a clear understanding of the facts as well as obtain input from victims’ families, law enforcement, and policymakers.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) also expressed a willingness to support restrictions on bump stocks following the Las Vegas mass shooting.

yes yes yes to paddling down the amazon

yes yes yes to paddling down the amazon river and wading in through a maze of vines and bugs and, now and then, a panther, and looking into the panther’s eyes and then you wake up from the dream and light is streaming out of your eyes and so you cannot see, but you are thrilled, it is such a magnificent experience, and how many people ever, in their entire set of lifetimes, have this experience? is this yet another way in which you are privileged or does this mean that some tiny bit of spirituality remains from the ancient tribal practices which are guaranteed to be gone by the time you die? you will never know, i most certainly do not know, but you will follow this path further until, one day, you die, and i am left certain, absolutely certain, that you barely missed the passage from this place to the next, you welcomed it, wanted it, knew that it would happen, and that brings me some small bit of peace because i miss you so desperately.

Fronts: You can use an evo 4-5 hub and lower control arm. Hub converts to 5 stud and has correct bolt spacing for Brembos

Rears: A bit harder due to the different handbrake setups. Basicall press out Evo 3 hub then press in 5 stud evo 4-5 hub. As for the caliper Racefab in New Zealand make an adaptor bracket to suit.

Lots of info here http://www.4gtuner.c...ersion-on-cd9a/
