May 23 expiry date for SPBSP alliance Modi
Bahraich/Barabanki: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a swipe at Opposition parties, saying those who cannot win enough seats to claim the Leader of the Opposition post in parliament are getting clothes stitched for becoming prime minister.He also hit out the SP-BSP alliance, saying that May 23 is the “expiry date” for the grouping, and their leaders will tear each other’s clothes after the Lok Sabha poll results are declared that day.

He said ‘mahamilavati’ parties are working to save their deposits on most of the seats. “In 2014, they did not get it (LoP post) and this time people are so angry that they will again not get it,” he said.

Modi has been ridiculing opposition alliance as a ‘mahamilavat’. “Earlier opposition parties played the game of ‘kaun banega PM (who will become the PM)’, now, after four phases of polling, they are playing ‘hide and seek’,” Modi said. The PM alleged the SP and BSP governments have been “discriminating” against people bases on their political leanings as their only concern was their vote bank, but said his government has worked without biases. Did the SP government supply electricity to the places that did not vote for them, Modi asked, suggesting that the same was the case when the BSP was in power. “Only we have worked for sabka saath sabka vikas (together with all, development for all),” he said. He said the SP and the BSP have been bitter rivals but came together fearing a “complete rout”. “This togetherness is for selfish motives.” Reciting a couplet of Rahim, he said, “As the results come on May 23, they (SP, BSP leaders) will tear each others’ clothes.” Referring to the surgical strikes and the Balakot airstrike, he said they were examples of his government’s commitment of extending security of life to 130 crore people. “Kahin bhi ghus kar ke maar sakte hai… (We can hit them (terrorists) anywhere).” “For doing this, we will not ask anybody nor will we come under any influence …because this is our commitment,” he said, adding “because of this commitment our security forces and sapoots have confined terrorism to a limited area. “Now the news of bomb blasts in temples, bazaars, bus stand and railway stations are not heard” he said. “Terror attacks have stopped because of a fear of Modi, but they (the terrorists) have not mended their ways. The danger has been averted but not annihilated. Nurseries of terror are still operating around us. Can the SP-BSP finish these?” Modi asked the gathering The PM said UP’s Awadh region is the centre of “our belief and spirituality. But when terrorism rises, such centres become targets.” Recalling former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he said the late BJP stalwart had said that no person is big or small. “Sabka saath sabka vikas is our mantra ..sabko suraksha sabko samman (security for all, honour to all) is our pledge…we have worked on this and in the coming five years, we will tread this path,” Modi said.

Nurses and midwives took to the picket lines for three days of strike action in January and February of this year in the dispute over pay and conditions. Nurses had argued that ongoing issues have led to a recruitment and retention crisis in the sector. The action had a disruptive effect on hospitals and clinics, putting a lot of pressure on the government to address nurses’ concerns. The INMO said that the proposals offered include such measures as:

On a sunny evening in late June, I found myself driving north on Interstate 5 heading to Gather and Feast Farm for its Summer Kickoff Dinner.After taking the La Center exit, the view from my window became rural — fields, evergreens and blue skies streaked with white fluffy clouds. I parked and headed to the chalkboard sign that announced Gather and Feast. Judy, mother of farm owner Mark Lopez, checked me in.In a clearing, drinks and appetizers were being served under a 200-year-old maple tree. Hay bales served as chairs. Fresh-squeezed lemonade and berry juice were available in self-serve containers. Appetizers like stuffed grape leaves, duck rillette toast points, and charred beet crostini were being brought around by cheerful servers holding rustic wood platters.A long line for the cocktail bar (manned by Chris “Salty” Reed of Grocery Cocktail & Social) snaked through the clearing. One of Salty’s creations, a gin cocktail made of Citizen Gin, Brovo Spirits Witty dry vermouth and sweet pea syrup topped with a sprig of lemon thyme, was refreshing and a good preview of the luscious farm fresh food that followed.Evan Gregoire, farm systems director at Gather and Feast Farm, led a group tour of the farm. Gregoire just came back from a seed-gathering trip to Italy.
Just over half (52%) of occupational defined contribution (DC), trust-based pension schemes in the UK use a default investment strategy, according to research by The Pensions Regulator (TPR).Its DC trust: Presentation of scheme return data 2018-2019 report, now in its ninth edition, provides information from 31,910 current schemes from the pension schemes register, with an effective date of 31 December 2018; 2,010 of these have 12 or more members.The report states that there are 31,910 occupational schemes with two or more DC members, as well as 74 master trusts that are registered with TPR. Three-fifths (61%) of all private sector workplace pension members, including active, deferred and pensioner members, are in DC schemes; 90% of active members are investing into a DC scheme. Deferred membership has increased by 45% in the last year, compared to a 24% increase in active members.Membership of master trusts has also increased, from 270,000 in 2012 to 13.4 million in 2019. The majority (99%) of members in DC schemes with 12 or more members are invested in the scheme’s default strategy.Asset values of schemes featured in the report are £60 billion. The average assets per membership at retirement increased over the past year, from £9,000 to £9,800, while contributions also rose over this time, moving from 21% to 22%. The total amount transferred out of DC schemes to other workplace or personal pensions has increased by 22% in the last year, rising from £1.7 billion to £2.1 billion.The report shows that 950 schemes are currently being used for auto-enrolment purposes; 98% of members are in schemes being used for this.David Fairs, executive director of regulatory policy, analysis and advice at TPR, said: “Overall, it is a picture of a growing market, driven by automatic enrolment and a new culture of saving into a workplace pension. Regardless of the trends, our role to make sure savers’ money is protected and pension schemes are offering value for money for their members remains vital.“These figures are yet another reminder about what is at stake if schemes are not run well: people’s livelihoods, which could be at risk. We continue to encourage trustees, particularly those running smaller schemes which are struggling to meet the standards of governance which we expect, to seriously consider if they are doing the best for their members. Winding up and moving members into a better run scheme, such as an authorised master trust, may in some cases be the better option.”

Citation: A way to use underwater fiber-optic cables as seismic sensors (2018, June 15) retrieved 18 August 2019 from https://phys.org/news/2018-06-underwater-fiber-optic-cables-seismic-sensors.html As the researchers note, there are approximately 1 million kilometers of fiber-optic cable strewn across the bottom of the world’s oceans carrying internet and telecom traffic. In this new effort, the researchers have come up with a way to use them as seismic detectors. Doing so, they note, would offer a whole new perspective on the planet’s seismic activity—70 percent of Earth, they note, is covered with water, which means very little overall seismic activity is currently being recorded.The researchers report that one of their members, Giuseppe Marrawere, was testing an underground cable between two locations in the U.K. He noticed a small slowdown in signal delivery and traced it to tiny vibrations bending the light. The vibrations, he discovered, were caused by a remote earthquake. That inspired the idea of looking into using such cables as seismic detectors.The group reports that they found existing fiber-optic cables could be used as seismic detectors by testing the idea with some real underwater (and under land) cables. They also found that the cables could be used in this way without disruptions to service and without having to make any changes to the cables. All that would be needed would be to gain access to one of a group of channels on both ends of a cable. Each side would be fitted with a special laser-based detector to continually monitor the signal. And that, they further note, would amount simply to renting a channel, or better yet, convincing the owner of the cable to donate it to a research group.The researchers suggest that if enough of the cables under the oceans were used as seismic monitors they could offer access to unprecedented types of information—information that could be used to predict tsunamis, for example, or to better understand global seismic activity as it relates to plate shifting and volcanism.

Ultrastable laser interferometry for earthquake detection with terrestrial and submarine cables, Science (2018). DOI: 10.1126/science.aat4458AbstractDetecting ocean-floor seismic activity is crucial for our understanding of the interior structure and dynamic behavior of the Earth. However, 70% of the planet’s surface is covered by water and seismometers coverage is limited to a handful of permanent ocean bottom stations. We show that existing telecommunication optical fiber cables can detect seismic events when combined with state-of-the-art frequency metrology techniques by using the fiber itself as the sensing element. We detected earthquakes over terrestrial and submarine links with length ranging from 75 to 535 km and a geographical distance from the earthquake’s epicenter ranging from 25 to 18,500 km. Implementing a global seismic network for real-time detection of underwater earthquakes requires applying the proposed technique to the existing extensive submarine optical fiber network.
Cancun, Q.R. — For the second year, more than 200,000 school uniforms will be given to children around the state.At a press conference, the Secretary of Education in Quintana Roo Ana Isabel Vázquez Jiménez and the senior official Manuel Israel Alamilla Ceballos, said that 222,602 public school uniforms will be given to families in 1,270 schools across the state.The program, which was started last year by the governor, will ensure public school children receive the uniforms, said Ana Vázquez.“This is the second consecutive year that, through the School Uniforms Program promoted by Governor Carlos Joaquín, we made the delivery of packages that will include two polo shirts, pants and shorts, which will allow all children to attend school with equal clothing.”She said that as part of the program, 166,766 backpacks will also be delivered along with basic school supplies. These supplies will be distributed between 694 schools of basic and indigenous education levels.The total investment will be 120 million peso. She added that “local manpower and local materials will be maximized in order to reduce costs. All things being equal, priority must be given to local manufacturing.”The school uniforms and supplies are meant to help encourage families to keep their children in school.Information from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2016, showed that nationally, families spend an average of 12.4 percent of their quarterly income on education, which averaged 3,495 peso. In Quintana Roo, the average education cost to a family is 4,258 peso per child per year.Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)
Wind gusts that caused the arrival of sargasso and the port closures were recorded in excess of 70 kms/hour. More than 100 passengers found themselves suddenly stuck in Cozumel when the Harbor Master announced the port closure due to the strong winds. The waves also encouraged the arrival of sargasso along many of Playa del Carmen’s beaches. Ulises Gavia Díaz, municipal director of Zofemat, commented that all the algae that had been arriving little-by-little suddenly came together due to the turbulent state of the sea. Ports have since reopened.

Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — A thunderstorm that rolled through the Playa del Carmen region Sunday brought with it sargasso and strong waves that resulted in port closures. Due to strong winds and high swells, port captains were forced to issue temporary port closures of several ferry crossings at Playa del Carmen and Cozumel. The closures included Ultramar ferries who were unable to make the crossings. With the first official day of Semana Santa, municipal brigades were out in full force removing the sargasso from public beaches, while hotels had private workers discard the unwanted seaweed away from their sandy spots.

Traditionally, it has measured variables like the speed and variability (pulse) of blood flowing through the arteries. But those measurements haven’t been enough to accurately detect concussion.For this study, researchers used an advanced version of TCD ultrasound to get a more complete picture of just how the blood moves through the middle cerebral artery, one of the three major arteries in the brain.Researchers compared a group of 66 high school athletes in contact sports who had been recently diagnosed with a concussion to a control group of 169 high school student athletes from both contact and non-contact sports. Examples of collision sports included in the study were football, soccer, basketball, hockey, water polo and lacrosse. The non-contact sports included were cheerleading, cross country, cycling, tennis and track. Both the control and concussion groups were approximately 30 percent female.Each of the concussed athletes had their brain blood flow measured with the advanced ultrasound headset within an average of six days after the injury. They were also given a general concussion evaluation and had their blood pressure checked.The study found that the advanced version of TCD ultrasound was able to differentiate between healthy and concussed athletes 83 percent of the time. This is in contrast to traditional TCD ultrasound measurements like change in cerebral blood flow reactivity which differentiated between the two 60 percent of the time, average blood flow speed which differentiated 55 percent of the time and blood flow resistance which differentiated 53 percent of the time.”This research suggests that this advanced form of ultrasound may provide a more accurate diagnosis of concussion,” said Hamilton. “While more research is needed, the hope is such a tool could one day be used on the sidelines to help determine more quickly whether an athlete needs further testing.””This important work provides insight into a tool that may yet prove useful in the recognition and management of concussion,” said Jeffrey Kutcher, M.D., FAAN, with the The Sports Neurology Clinic in Brighton, Michigan. “The potential of having an accessible technology that detects a physiological change following brain trauma is very exciting. However, what these detected blood flow changes mean to a patient’s clinical care is still unclear.””This is an important area of research. Testing of the TCD technique at the sideline at the time of injury will be an important next step to determine its ultimate utility,” said Randolph S. Marshall, M.D., MS, with Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York and a member of the American Academy of Neurology’s Science Committee.For more information: www.aan.com FacebookTwitterLinkedInPrint分享 News | Artificial Intelligence | August 13, 2019 Artificial Intelligence Could Yield More Accurate Breast Cancer Diagnoses University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that… read more Technology | Neuro Imaging | August 07, 2019 Synaptive Medical Launches Modus Plan With Automated Tractography Segmentation Synaptive Medical announced the U.S. launch and availability of Modus Plan featuring BrightMatter AutoSeg.
