Prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday this week, all NFL teams must reduce their rosters to a maximum of 75 players on the active list. The Cowboys got a little bit of a head start with a couple of roster moves last week, and now have 88 players on their roster, meaning 13 players will have to be cut by Tuesday.
Later this week, the Cowboys play the Texans on Thursday night in the fifth and final preseason game of the year. That will give the coaches one last opportunity to evaluate the players at the bottom of the roster before the Cowboys and every other team will have to finalize their 53-man roster by 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 31st.
As hard as these initial cuts on Tuesday will be for the individuals involved, from a roster point of view, these cuts are pretty straightforward as they usually involve the bottom of the roster guys, camp bodies, and recently signed players. In fact, going by the first cuts over the last few years across the league, it's unlikely that there will be many noteworthy names in this group.
But that was then, and this is now - the competition for a Cowboys roster spot is tougher than it's been at any time in recent memory, and that may force the Cowboys to release some veteran players in the first round of cuts:
- A strong 2013 draft class means every single draft pick, from top to bottom, is a virtual roster lock.
- A late but strong push for roster spots from undrafted free agents like safety Jeff Heath, linebacker Brandon Magee, and perhaps even linebacker Cameron Lawrence is knocking competition up an extra notch
- Street free agents like QB Alex Tanney, CB Micah Pellerin, and WR Anthony Armstrong are making a compelling case for why they should be part of the 53-man roster
Among the veterans that may have reason to be worried are Nate Livings, Ryan Cook, and maybe Danny McCray, to name just three.
Nate Livings: It doesn't make any sense financially to cut Nate Livings, but Jerry Jones has already begun talking about Livings in the past tense. The Cowboys may be willing to wait a couple more weeks for Livings to recover, but you've got to wonder if Livings is just another name in an increasingly long line of 'veteran help' (Brandon Moore, Brian Waters, Nate Livings ...) that simply never materialized for the 2013 season.
Ryan Cook: Cook has been injured and unavailable for most of preseason. Time is running out for the 30-year old utility lineman, and his release would provide the Cowboys with an extra $1.1 million in cap space this year.
Danny McCray: Reports are that Eric Frampton may be almost as effective as a special teamer and Frampton may have the added benefit of actually being able to play safety in a pinch. Or are we fans simply down on McCray because we suffer from New Toy Disease every season? There would be no penalty in releasing McCray, and replacing him with Frampton would save the Cowboys $768,000.
If there is such a thing as a downside of roster depth, it's that you have to make some tough decisions about players who have served you well in the past. But there is also an aspect to roster depth that Cowboys fans may have all but forgotten about over the last decade: You don't always have to release your players - you may actually be able to get some value for them.
The Cowboys haven't traded away players since Patrick Crayton and Pat McQuistan in 2010. Who says there's not a team in 2013 that might be willing to trade a developmental guard prospect for a special teams ace and team captain?
Which veteran players do you see missing the cut, either on Tuesday or on Saturday, or possibly being traded this week?

Kerry Washington's Braided Bangs Are Everything We Needed to See Today
Kerry Washington is a force to be reckoned with, whether she's acting her ass off on a hit TV show or sharing candid selfies with Instagram fans. The Little Fires Everywhere star manages to do it all while looking gorgeous in straight hairstyles, braided looks, or natural curls. For her latest hairstyle, Washington looks stunning in adorned box braids and a braided fringe that we are obsessing over.
The actor debuted the new protective style in a video to promote National Voter Registration Week. The video features Washington with her stunning braids and also features an appearance by her Scandal costar Tony Goldwyn. These dark brown box braids are small and fall well below Washington's chest, though we can't see the ends due to the angle of the video. The fresh braids are adorned with gold cuffs and mocha-colored beads throughout the ends and in the bangs.

Speaking of her fringe, the braids at the front of her head end right at her eye line. There are about 12 braids that make up these cute bangs and each one is decorated with two golden cuffs. Though box braids are a popular protective style, we like the detail these bangs and decorations add.
We've seen Washington with bangs before, but this is the first we have seen her with a braided fringe. She shows fans one of the many ways to add not only bangs to your braided style but also hair decorations, which we love. It's only a matter of time until these braids are taken out and she's posting yet another new hairstyle on the 'gram, but in the meantime, we'll be oohing and aahing over these braids.

1988-1998 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab Sub Box Single Small Ported
The 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab trucks gave birth to the under seat down fire box. This body style truck was the start of the sport truck movement and as around when car audio started its boom. The space under this rear seat is limited but there are ways to get plenty of sound out from under there. The tool box and jack storage is in the way for a full width box so this half box fits perfectly in the other half. The sub box sticks out from the front of the seat a little bit but that is the only way to get anything with a decent surface area under there. The box is half width with .7cuft of airspace which is spot on for a good 10 with up to 5 3/8" of mounting depth and leaves the tool box in place.
This is a ported subwoofer enclosure. Ported subwoofer enclosures are for customers who want louder, deeper bass with the lower bass more pronounced. Because of the ported design, the bass will not be as tight and punchy as a sealed box, but there is typically double the bass of a sealed box with the same subs and power. A sealed subwoofer box has a tight and punchy bass that is more articulate and more true to the music with a more natural sound. If tight, punchy bass is what you want then our sealed designs will be what you want.
This design is for maximum airspace and the airspace of the box can be reduced if desired. Our ported boxes are designed according to your subwoofer's specifications. No two boxes will really be alike. At checkout, there is a "Comment" box, please give us the model number of your subs and we will build the enclosure as needed. We tend to tune our boxes low, around 34-37hz. If you have any specific requests, please feel free to let us know.
This box is made out of 3/4″ MDF and is fully carpeted in matching carpet. The nickle plated spring loaded speaker terminals are mounted on the back of the box and the speaker wires are soldered on for a solid and reliable connection.

There is currently very little sign that May will travel to next week's emergency European Council with the coherent plan the EU says will be necessary to grant the UK a further delay to Brexit, which is currently scheduled to happen on Friday. So says the Guardian, telling us nothing we didn't know already.
As to the May/Corbyn talks, shadow business secretary, Rebecca Long-Bailey, who has been part of the Labour delegation, says the mood of the talks had been "quite a positive and hopeful one", but little has been achieved.
But then, this is Rebecca Long-Bailey, who confided in Andrew Marr about his party's ambitions for a customs union. It's important, she said, "to state that the reason we're calling for a customs union is to protect vital supply chains. Manufacturing particularly. So we can have that frictionless trade".
That, three years into the Brexit process, is the best a senior Labour MP can manage, one who is a key member of the party's team – someone who believes that a customs union can deliver "frictionless trade".
But, on the other side of the divide, there is Andrea Leadsom, and things there are not much better. Asked by Andrew Marr what her reaction would be to the prime minister agreeing a customs union deal with the Labour Party, she said:
I think the Prime Minister's proposal is an excellent proposal and it has a customs arrangement within it to ensure completely tariff-free and non-tariff barrier free customs arrangements for agrifoods and industrialised goods. So that is a type of customs arrangement.
Both sides are talking gibberish. The idea that "frictionless trade" is a consequence of a customs union is absurd, yet Leadsom's assertion that a "customs arrangement" – whatever that actually means – can ensure "completely tariff-free and non-tariff barrier free customs arrangements for agrifoods and industrialised goods" is just not in the real world.
The elimination of the non-tariff barriers comes with a regulatory union, otherwise known as the Single Market – something entirely distinct from anything directly to do with customs, and something which, under normal circumstances, brings with it freedom of movement.
But if that is confusing enough, Leadsom goes on to say that, "Jeremy Corbyn originally said he wanted a customs union with no free movement and with the ability to negotiate our own free trade deals". Now that, she adds, is "what the Prime Minister's own customs arrangement offers".
There is no linear relationship between the claims, and now way of tying together the terms being used. They are jumbled together in a way that defies coherences and speaks of nothing but the most profound intellectual confusion.
To this, there is no remedy – not the slightest chance of any improvement. In August 2015, I wrote a blogpost entitled "the naming of parts", alluding to the poem by Henry Reed on the ritual of learning the parts of a rifle, one of the first steps in marking the transition from callow civilian to soldier.
But, I wrote, this is a ritual that applies to every trade and profession – one of learning its special vocabulary, knowledge of which distinguishes the practitioner from the outsider. Clarity and precision in the use of words, I asserted, was vital. Sloppy use of vocabulary leads to confusion and muddle.
At the time, I was writing about migration but the sentiment is every bit as appropriate to Brexit. And here we are in the depths of a political crisis where the principal actors don't even understand the basic vocabulary, or mean the same things when they use the same words. This can do nothing but spread confusion and muddle.
One would not have thought that the politicians – to say nothing of the hacks – could make such a mess of this, but it seems that their capacity to get it wrong is endless.
Yet, for a thing such as a customs union, the concept is remarkably simple. As defined, it is a trade agreement where the parties agree to remove tariffs and quantitative restrictions between themselves, and apply a common external tariff, so that all members apply to same tariffs to third countries.
The customs union, therefore, deals exclusively with tariffs and quantitative restrictions (quotas). It has no impact on regulatory standards and does not in any way relate to customs procedures, of define parameters for customs cooperation, which is an altogether different thing.
That anyone should even have to think of clarifying such issues at this late stage of the Brexit process illustrates just what a dire position we are in. I was writing about this on the blog in October 2016, and even by then the issues should have been settled.
It gets even worse when the customs union is elided with trade policy and the ability to conclude free trade agreements. For instance, it is widely held – for instance, by issue-illiterates such as Liam Halligan that membership of the EU's customs union is what prevents us from making separate trade deals with third countries.
This, of course, is not the case. The provisions which prevent this relate to Articles 206-207 TFEU, which define the Common Commercial Policy (CCP), and Article 3 which makes it an exclusive EU competence. These Articles, and not the customs union, gives the EU exclusive powers to make trade deals on behalf of members.
In theory, and indeed practice, there is nothing to stop members of a customs union making their trade deals with non-members, where agreements relate to non-tariff matters, and flanking policies – as is the case with Merosur.
There can even be allowances made for separate tariff deals. When a member imports goods at a rate lower than the external tariff, on re-export to a member, the difference between the two is added by the destination country. For made-up goods, rules of origin may apply.
But there are further complications in considering the difference between membership of the EU's customs union, and a customs union with the EU. Outside the EU, the UK cannot be a member of the customs union, which amongst other things requires 80 percent of tariff income collected by members to be remitted to the EU budget.
We can only become members of a separately negotiated customs union, which would be a distinct agreement between the EU and the UK. How this would be financed would be a matter to be negotiated between the parties. Most likely, each party would bear its own costs.
For the UK, the downside of customs union membership is that it would tie us into the common external tariff, which would restrict our flexibility to make tariff deals with other third countries – depending on the nature of the agreement we had with the EU. This might also have a long-term impact on our foreign policy.
For the most part, though, customs union are an antiquated form of agreement that long-predate the WTO and were primarily used as a precursor to political integration. That was the great attraction for the EEC, which saw it as the first step in the creation of a United States of Europe.
There is, therefore, enormous political symbolism in being members of a customs union with the EU. Turkey and the EU negotiated a customs union which came into force in in 1995, essentially as a pre-accession measure to signal its determination to join the EU.
For the UK, it is an entirely unnecessary measure. By agreeing even a conventional free trade agreement, we can eliminate tariffs, and unilaterally adopting the EU's WTO schedules – which we have done – has the effect of a customs union without the formality of a treaty.
In all senses, the customs union is a complete red herring, which is what I was writing in The Times in December 2016. Yet, one way or another, the political classes seem obsessed with the concept – even if most don't know what it means or entails – and have wasted a colossal amount of time and energy in pursuing it.
If we want frictionless trade, of course, we have to look to the Single Market, which is an entirely separate legal entity. And yet, not only do so many politicians fail to understand the concept of the customs union, they readily confuse it with the Single Market – as seems to be the case with Rebecca Long-Bailey.
There is no excuse for this, and the inability of politicians (and, indeed, the media) to master the basics is contemptible. Their failures represent a colossal dereliction of duty and are responsible for much of the situation in which we find ourselves. And yet, to this day, is there any one of them who shows the slightest bit of shame?

As our loved ones grow into their autumn years, concern grows over how they will be able to function alone, and whether we can sustain a balance between caring for them and ourselves. Though trying to make this commitment is admirable, it is also extremely difficult and can't be maintained for long. That is why Coastal Home Care is among those that seek to help our patients and their families through our personalized in-home caregiver services. Like every family, each patient is different, with a variety of needs and preferences that make up their daily routine. Our patented Plan of Care assessments, completed by our highly-trained nurses, ensures that all areas of care are met precisely for each individual. Here are some of the ways in which our at-home caregivers can help make your loved one's daily life easier:
Safe & Assured Independence
As your loved one gets older, their mobility tends to become limited and difficult, and their body becomes gradually more prone to pain and injury. These developments make them increasingly vulnerable as time goes on, especially if they are left alone. However, the likelihood of any incident decreases when a caregiver is present. This provides your loved ones with the independence they've always had, but with a greater degree of safety and security of their physical well-being.
Personalized Care
Many heartbreaking incidents have been reported in which caregivers at an assisted living facility could not or did not provide the help that was required for an elderly patient. This is often because the great number of patients they have to care for simultaneously causes them to overlook the needs of individual patients. In contrast, at-home caregivers are able to learn about every aspect of your loved one's healthcare needs and proactively attend to them, guaranteeing your loved one remains healthy and comfortable in their hands.
Consistent Service
Along with learning about their patient's individual needs and preferences, an at-home caregiver also helps provide a sense of stability and familiarity compared to other elder care services and facilities. Your loved one will not only have a nurse to take care of them, but also a companion to talk and spend time with, ensuring their comfort remains throughout their days.
Dependable In-Home Caregiver Services in Wicomico County, Maryland
There are many caregiving alternatives you can find for your elderly loved one, however none can match the singular attentiveness and assurance of comfort that in-home caregiver services guarantee. At Coastal Home Care, our primary focus is to provide our elders with trained, experienced nurses that desire to help maintain their independent lifestyles, while also ensuring they remain healthy and safe within their routines. Contact us at 866-687-7307 to find an excellent caregiver and companion for your loved one today.

At age 104. Carmen Herrera says, "I waited for my bus for 94 years." She's referring to the saying, "if you wait long enough, your bus will come." Her bus was the British Gallery Ikon in Birmingham which presented the first exhibition of her work. From from that premiere show—at age 94—her stature in the art world has been on a meteoric rise.
The calculated, vibrant, application of paint.
Carmen Herrera's drive for organized simplicity and a powerful, arresting sense of color are central to her paintings. "My quest," she said in 2012, "is for the simplest of pictorial resolutions." Herrara is a master of crisp lines and contrasting chromatic planes, She creates symmetry, asymmetry, and an infinite variety of movement, rhythm, and spatial tension across her canvas by laying down unobtrusive layers on of paint.
On May 31, 1915, Carmen Herrera was born in Cuba. She was educated in Havana and Paris. She studied art, art history, and architecture and—over her life—all three subjects continue to inform her canvases and sculptures.
Just two colors.
In Paris, in 1939 she met and married Jesse Loewenthal, an American. They moved to New York City, where she attended classes at the Art Students League on West 57th Street and was a frequent visitor to the Whitney Museum of American Art. From 1948 to 1953, Herrera and Loewenthal returned to Paris, where she associated with the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles. Herrera regularly exhibited her work with the Salon and honed her distilled, geometric style of abstraction, reducing her palette to three colors for each composition, then further to two.
Herrera's hard-edged canvases emerged at the same time that Ellsworth Kelly, whose time in France overlapped with Herrera's, began producing his own abstractions and around the same time that Frank Stella began producing his famous black paintings.
Enter the Public Art Fund.
The Public Art Fund brings dynamic contemporary art to a broad audience in New York City and beyond. The fund mounts ambitious, free exhibitions of international scope and impact. They aim to offer the public powerful experiences with art within the urban environment. And, their current exhibition more than meets that aim.
Carmen Herrera: Estructuras Monumentales.
The fund says, "This is the first major exhibition of outdoor sculptures by New York-based artist Carmen Herrera. She has created vibrant, abstract paintings for more than 70 years, but has only recently received her well-deserved recognition. Herrera's radiant compositions simplify dynamically juxtaposed forms to their purest elements of color and geometry, creating a distinctive and iconic clarity by emphasizing what she sees as the beauty of the straight line."
For decades, Herrera's Estructuras series of sculptures were even less well known than her paintings. Informed by her architectural training, Herrera began the series in the 1960s with a group of diagrammatic sketches. She envisioned large-scale monochromatic sculptures that would extend the experience of her paintings into three dimensions. Until recently, these historic proposals have remained unrealized. With Estructuras Monumentales, this remarkable artist is now able to share her powerful structures with public audiences for the first time.
Make tracks for New York. Estructuras Monumentales is an extraordinary
installation curated by Public Art Fund's Daniel S. Palmer. It closes on November 8.

The 77-year-old Biden also responded forcefully to a suggestion by the questioner that he was 'too old' to be running for president.
Washington: Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden snapped at a questioner during a campaign event in Iowa on Thursday after the man asked about his son's business dealings in Ukraine.
"You're a damn liar, man," the former vice president said in a rare flash of anger at the town hall in New Hampton, Iowa.
After first saying that President Donald Trump was "messing around in Ukraine," the man told Biden "you, on the other hand, sent your son over there, to get him a job and work for a gas company."
"He had no experience," the man said. "You're selling access to the president."
"That's not true and no one has ever said that," Biden responded after calling the man a liar.
Biden's son Hunter served on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma from 2014 to 2019 and was reportedly paid USD 50,000 a month.
Hunter Biden has not been accused of any wrongdoing but questions have been raised about the propriety of him taking the position while his father was vice president and dealing with Ukraine issues.
Trump is facing impeachment in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives after asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens.
The 77-year-old Biden also responded forcefully to a suggestion by the questioner that he was "too old" to be running for president.
"I'm not sedentary," Biden said. "The reason I'm running is because I've been around a long time and I know more than most people know and I can get things done.
"You want to check my shape on it, let's do pushups together, man," he said. "Let's run. Let's do whatever you want to do. Let's take an IQ test."
At another point, he appeared to say "Look, fat, look, here's the deal" — but this was strongly disputed by Biden aide Symone Sanders, who tweeted that he had said: "Look, facts."
Biden is the current frontrunner in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, according to an average of national polls by RealClearPolitics.com.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg are the only other candidates in the crowded field with double-digit support.
The first vote of the Democratic primary season is to be held in Iowa in February.

Telefónica Deutschland:Strong results in third quarter
- 12.5 percent growth in OIBDA
- Data revenue up 28.3 percent
- Wireless service revenue up 5.6 percent
- 10.3 percent more contract customers
The third quarter results bear out Telefónica Deutschland's growth strategy. The company increased its number of total accesses (wireless, fixed network, wholesale) to 25.3 million euro, an increase of 4.1 percent on the same period last year. The postpaid segment, in particular, showed strong growth, gaining 171,000 new customers in Q3. And the prepaid business also continued to grow, doubling its number of new customers compared to the previous quarter. Wireless service revenue increased 5.6 percent compared with the third quarter of 2011 to reach 812 million euro. And with a 6.9 percent increase over the same period, wireless revenue (including the hardware business) grew to 977 million euro in Q3. Total revenue added to the positive trend, gaining 4.1 percent in Q3 2012.
"In the last few years we've written a successful growth story," says René Schuster, CEO of Telefónica Deutschland. "This is also reflected in mobile service revenue. Here we are number three in the market," Schuster added. The data business is once again a key growth driver. Non-SMS data revenue rose 28.3 percent compared with the third quarter of 2011. Another very positive result was data ARPU, which was 8.1 percent higher than the third quarter of the previous year. This also drove up average monthly revenue per user (ARPU) to 14.00 euro compared to the second quarter of 2012.
"Having another positive result in a competitive market environment shows that we are pursuing the right strategy for profitable growth," says Rachel Empey, CFO of Telefónica Deutschland. The operative result (OIBDA) showed a strong increase of 12.5 percent compared with Q3 2011, and, at 1.9 percentage points, there was a noticeable gain of the OIBDA margin in the same period, which now stands at 25.7 percent.

One month after entering Japan, its first international market, Coupang has launched in Taiwan. The South Korean e-commerce giant began offering its service in Taipei City's Zhongshan neighborhood, allowing people there to order items through its app for on-demand delivery between 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., charging a delivery fee of 19 NTD (about 68 cents USD).
Coupang is testing its service and will assess different models for its delivery infrastructure in Taiwan. The selection of items is similar to what's available in Japan — customers can buy food, beverages, daily necessities and pet supplies. In Taipei, Coupang's most direct competition is currently Uber Eats and Foodpanda, which deliver from some retailers, including drugstores, as well as restaurants. A key difference is that Coupang is currently fulfilling orders directly, instead of sending couriers to stores or restaurants.
As it expands into more product categories, it will also compete with e-commerce platforms like Momo and PChome, which both offer 24-hour deliveries. In South Korea, Coupang's e-commerce platform offers millions of products. Its other services include Rocket Fresh for perishable groceries and Coupang Eats for meals.
Coupang held a successful initial public offering in March on the New York Stock Exchange. Founded in 2010, Coupang has become the e-commerce market leader in South Korea and also developed an international reputation for "out-Amazoning Amazon" with the speed of its deliveries and dollar retention rate (or how often customers return and spend money).
Coupang invested heavily in its own logistics infrastructure when it launched a decade ago, but now also partners with third-party providers in South Korea. It remains to be seen what kind of fulfillment model it will decide on in Japan and Taiwan. The company hasn't announced what its next market is, but it has been hiring in Singapore for lead operations, retail and logistics roles.

Andersen Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) supports the mission of the national PTA and dedicates its organization to improving the education and well-being of students.
Hans Madsen Andersen arrived in Broken Arrow on Nov. 10, 1910, from Denmark. As their children learned English in school, they taught their parents. They became United States citizens in 1913. In 1919, Andersen bought a 200-acre dairy farm at 61st and Mingo, which is currently where the 6th/7th Center is located.
Due to his generosity and support of the Union Public Schools, which began in 1919, Andersen Elementary was named in his honor in 1985. We are privileged to have our school building named after such a dedicated, giving man.
As you enter our school, Andersen's picture and plaque with a commemorative inscription will be one of the first things you see. Even though he died in 1954, Hans Madsen Andersen will always be remembered.

Despite recognising the issue of children spending large amounts of their parents' money, Facebook's internal documents – released earlier this week – show that the social network developed systems to prevent minors from overspending, which it then actively decided to ignore.
The internal documents were released as a result of a class action lawsuit against Facebook, as reported by Reveal from the Centre of Investigative Reporting (via GamesIndustry.biz). They show that between 2010 and 2014, several internal messages state that the social network's staff acknowledged the issue of overspending, came up with a solution to prevent it, and then decided not to use it.
The 135 pages of documents also state that Facebook directly targeted children in order to grow its games business, and actively encouraged developers to allow children to spend money without the permission of their parents, a practice employees referred to as "friendly fraud." An internal study showed that children spent $3.6 million (£2.75 million) on Facebook browser games in just four months between October 2010 and January 2011.
Refund requests issued by parents were often denied, leading to money being claimed back in vast quantities through credit card chargebacks. More than 9% of all money earned from children was recouped in this way, in comparison to an average rate of approximately 0.5% for other business. The Federal Trade Commision cites a chargeback rate of around 2% as cause for concern when assessing deceptive business practices.
Developers were encouraged to offer free virtual items to parents who complained, which were thought to be better than refunds because they "bear no cost."
Related: Facebook rejected an artistic indie game's advert for being "sexually suggestive"
After testing a method of verification that would have required children to enter the first six digits of a credit card number in order to make purchases, Facebook found that the number of refund and chargeback requests decreased. However, instead of rolling out this practice across the social network, the company decided to focusing on "maximising revenue" rather than limiting friendly fraud.
In a statement to Reveal, the social network said that "Facebook works with parents and experts to offer tools for families navigating Facebook and the web," and that "we routinely examine our own practices." In 2016, this lead to an update to the social network's terms and conditions that would provide "dedicated resources for refund requests relation to purchases made by minors on Facebook."

UGS Delivers Product Lifecycle Management Software to Speed Global Product Development for Aviation Technology Group, Inc.s (ATG) High-Performance Jet Aircraft
ATG Deploys Teamcenter Software on Microsoft SQL Server, Building an Enterprise Collaboration Infrastructure to Support its Innovative Business Model
Tuesday, October 18, 2005, PLANO, Texas UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced that the rapid deployment of its Teamcenter® solution on Microsofts SQL Server, at Aviation Technology Group, Inc. (ATG), has helped accelerate the global product development schedule for ATGs high-performance jet aircraft. From initial planning to production deployment, the implementation of Teamcenter the worlds most widely used PLM portfolio was completed in only two months.
ATG is a progressive company with ambitious business goals, said Charlie Johnson, President and COO of ATG. Our company needs to be fast and responsive, just like our aircraft. We quickly deployed Teamcenter as the common collaboration environment that will bring together our vendors and partners worldwide and further compress our product development schedule.
Open solutions help integrate a diverse team
ATG is a five-year old company with an innovative mission to develop and build a high performance, two-seater, military style jet that travels at high speeds of 0.90 Mach for the civilian market. To achieve its aggressive business plan and delivery schedule, ATG has developed the product concept and design, and will source the aircraft sub-systems and components from aviation leaders around the globe.
To support collaboration among ATGs diverse network of partners and suppliers, Teamcenter provides an open PLM foundation to capture and share design information, regardless of the original CAD authoring application. Aircraft components designed in a variety of CAD systems including CATIA®, Pro/Engineer® and UGS own NX application are submitted by partners in the widely used JT 3D data format. Through its visualization capabilities, Teamcenter then creates 3D digital product mockups that offer ATG a composite view of the aircraft.
We are using a systems integration approach in order to take advantage of best-in-class sources around the world, said George Bullard, Director of Engineering for ATG. Teamcenter enables us to integrate components from these many sources in a virtual environment so that we can quickly and cost-effectively create our innovative aircraft.
UGS-Microsoft relationship enables cost-effective deployment and execution
Like many other companies worldwide, ATG standardized on Microsoft SQL Server for its enterprise applications. Because of the longstanding and close working relationship between UGS and Microsoft, ATGs selection of Teamcenter on the Microsoft SQL Server platform is not only consistent with the companys enterprise software infrastructure, it also enables seamless application integration thus reducing the overall cost-of-ownership.
Businesses of all sizes are adopting Windows Server System and SQL Server as the foundation for enterprise productivity, said Steve Bashada, Vice President of Teamcenter applications, UGS. Teamcenter provides rich, scalable PLM capabilities to customers like ATG that can be deployed quickly and cost-effectively, and integrated in their existing Microsoft environment.
Microsoft SQL Servers enterprise scalability delivers proven performance for our customers, said John Fikany, general manager, U.S. Enterprise Manufacturing Sector, Microsoft Corp. UGS Teamcenters availability on the Microsoft platform helps to optimize and automate critical business functions through collaboration while allowing companies to leverage their existing technology investments.
The release of Teamcenter on SQL Server 2000 fully utilizes the Microsoft technology platform to deliver collaboration, knowledge management and lifecycle process automation in a familiar user interface like the Windows desktop environment. Teamcenter solutions become more accessible, and affordable, for a wider community. Customers are also able to use other SQL Server-based enterprise solutions, such as Windows SharePoint Services, SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services and BizTalk Server among others, all within a common IT infrastructure.

Bluetooth audio amplifier

Important: Import duties, taxes and other customs related charges all are not included into shipping cost . Buyers bear all responsibility for all extra charges incurred (if any).
IWISTAO 2X40W Vacuum Tube Amplifier Pull Push FU29 Power Stage 6N2 Preamp Bluetooth 5.0 Whole Aluminum Chassis
Model No: WVTB-FU29
Note: The current electronic tube is Beijing FM30, the effect is no different from FU29
This FU29 vacuum tube named FY29 in Russian, and named 829B in American. It is a composite vacuum tube in which two Cambodian tetrodes are packaged in a same glass shell. It is generally used in power amplifiers with push-pull output, which can reduce tube selection and matching trouble. FU29 filament voltage is 6.3V, current is 2.25A, screen voltage is 600V, curtain grid voltage is 200V, zero letter screen current is 40mA, full letter current is 110mA. The grid bias voltage is -18V, the optimal load impedance from the screen to the screen grid is 13750Ω, and the output power (effective value) reaches 44W when the signal is full.
In order to further simplify the circuit, this unit uses a composite tube 6N2 for preamplification and phase inversion, so that a single channel can use 6N2 and a FU29 to complete the power amplifier task, and it has 40W power output. It is small in size, unique in shape, but strong in driving force. Do not use the power of general transistors or digital power amplifiers to analogize the actual driving force of this tube power amplifier, because the high supply voltage and unique output transformer's structure, its output internal resistance change for high and low frequency signals is relatively small, and it has a good low frequency driving ability. And the sound is soft and smooth, warm and delicate. This is why the tube amplifier has not been completely replaced after the emergence of many new technologies.
- This unit is suitable for general bookshelf and most floor speakers. We have tested that the difficult to push Dynaudio contour 1.8 floor speakers have also been impressed.
- Added a new Bluetooth 5.0 receiver module to facilitate wireless connection of mobile devices such as mobile phones.
- Output power: 2 x 40W
- Signal input: RCA / Bluetooth 5.0
- Electronic tubes: FU29 * 2, 6N2 * 2
- Working voltage: AC220V
- Dimensions: 215 width X190 height X308
- Weight: 13KG
- Accessories:
Power cord x 1

Whole Foods Markets in Washington can get pretty fancy. Just look at the Fair Lakes branch, which boasts a sports bar and $1 oyster night, or Alexandria, where you can get a growler filled while shopping for ostrich eggs. Yet as of today Ashburn has them all beat with the opening of a 45,000 square-foot market, two-story cafe, and in-house pub.
A brainstorming team of trendsters couldn't have devised the offerings better. Are there absinthe cocktails aged in barrels? Yes! How about totchos? Of course. But where will I power my electric car while sampling a Raspberry-Basil Saison? No problem, the parking lot is equipped with two charging stations.
Hard booze is what makes the Ashburn market really stand out, as its the first in the Washington area to pour spirits (available exclusively in the pub, patio, and cafe). Naturally the theme is local, with Virginia distilleries like Catoctin Creek and Copper Fox contributing gins and whiskeys. Drinks can be mixed with DC-made True Tonics, or garnished with pickled vegetables from 4 Bros Bar Essentials. Don't forget to pad the stomach with sweet and savory artisanal toasts.
For those who don't crave a cocktail before grocery shopping, the market also claims 17 draft beers, and of course, kombucha on tap.
Whole Foods Market Ashburn. 19800 Belmont Chase Dr., Ashburn; 571-223-4440. Open daily 7 to 10.

I'd be an awful football manager.
I'm not even talking about my distinct lack of knowledge on tactics, sports science and leadership of elites athletes, nor the fact that most of the things I say about the game in general are absolute wham.
Those are all valid points that mean I probably won't be applying for the Real Madrid job when Florentino Perez inevitably sacks Zinedine Zidane, of course, but the major reason I'd be such an atrocious coach is that I would never be able detach myself from the emotion of the game in order to think analytically and objectively. I'd be too boisterous, celebrating wildly or ranting and raving, too caught up in the story of the game, to be anything more than a significant negative influence.
Thankfully, actual top-level football managers aren't like that. They possess the ability to remain calm at the most crucial and emotional of moments, in order to make sure that their team functions as successfully as possible. At least not for the most part, anyway.
Last night at Anfield, Red Bull Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch almost pulled off a certified footballing miracle. His bravery in refusing to play a different style of football to normal in the face of the enormous challenge posed by the Champions of Europe is to be commended, as is his consistent touchline uplifting of his team at 3-0 down when, despite the scoreline, the visitors were actually playing really rather well against Liverpool.
Hee-Chan Hwang's goal will obviously have been cause for renewed optimism in the Salzburg dressing room at half-time, but it was Marsch's belief that his players should continue to attack Liverpool rather than shrink into their shell, coupled with an ingenious switch to a 4-1-2-1-2 formation that isolated Fabinho at the heart of Liverpool's midfield and created so much space for Takumi Minamino, that really instigated Salzburg's fightback and proved what a talented coach Marsch really is.
That combination of positive reinforcement and tactical creativity helped make a mockery of Liverpool for thirty minutes, and dragged Salzburg back into a match they looked dead buried in.
Make no mistake, Marsch is without doubt one of the most intelligent coaches Klopp has faced in Europe since his arrival at Anfield. No team has managed to consistently cut Liverpool open for an extended period in the manner that the Austrians did, nor has any side flipped the match one his side because of a tactical switch quite so dramatically.
And then it came. The moment that Jesse Marsch ruined it all.
Erling Haaland made it 3-3, and Marsch raced up the touchline to join the pile on his players were enjoying in front of the away end.
Now, I'm not going to criticise passion, or enjoyment of a huge moment in your career and indeed life in general. Personality and celebration are two of the biggest things we all love about Jürgen Klopp, after all.
But there were over 20 minutes of the game left to play at that stage last night. And it was only an equaliser. Salzburg had an awful lot more hard work to put in, either to maintain the draw or attempt to go on and win the match. All of the momentum was with them and needed to be harnessed so that the job could be finished with a successful outcome.
Alas, it turns out Jesse Marsch and I aren't too dissimilar after all. The Wisconsin-native allowed himself to be swept up in the ecstasy and adrenaline of the moment, and his team suffered as a result of his naivety. Liverpool switched to a 4-2-3-1 which helped them regain control, and Marsch didn't was stumped.
Marsch will learn from that experience, and become a much better coach for it. Next time he faces Klopp, the Liverpool boss will know he's going up against a formidable opponent.

New Delhi: India has reserved defence modernisation projects worth 500 billion rupees ($7 billion) for startup, Department of Defence Production Joint Secretary Sanjay Jaju said today.
At a Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers seminar on 'Startups-Cutting Edge for Technology Infusion into Defence' here, Jaju said the Government of India, in particular the Ministry of Defence, would set up five more defence innovation hubs across the country by 2024, in addition to the existing ones at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu and Nasik in Maharashtra.
The defence ministry would also conduct more defence startup challenges for startups, in line with the two that were held during the previous tenure of the Narendra Modi government.
"In the defence sector, uncertainly is even bigger than other sectors, as there is only one customer, the government. The procurement processes too are tougher, as we cannot put lives of users at risk with unproven technologies," Jaju said.
As a solution, the joint secretary asked the startups and the industry to look at exports to friendly foreign countries, instead of just looking at the Indian market. "The government will support exports within the control regulations that are in place. That's why selection of technology to work on is very important for startups."
India expects to enjoy the fruits of the first two Innovation in Defence Excellence (iDEX) programme in a few months from now. The relationship between the government and the startups would be a principal-client, no-frills-attached tie-up, Jaju said.

Set primarily in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City in the 1920s, the story centers on the reunion of two childhood friends—Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield—and their increasing fascination with each other's lives. The title refers to the practice of "racial passing", and is a key element of the novel; Clare Kendry's attempt to pass as white for her husband, John (Jack) Bellew, is its most significant depiction in the novel, and a catalyst for the tragic events. Larsen's exploration of race was informed by her own mixed racial heritage and the increasingly common practice of racial passing in the 1920s. Praised upon publication, the novel has since been celebrated in modern scholarship for its complex depiction of race, gender and sexuality, and is the subject of considerable scholarly criticism. As one of only two novels that Larsen wrote, Passing has been significant in placing its author at the forefront of several literary canons.

Estonia is the knowledge economy leader among the EBRD regions, doing particularly well in the digital infrastructure subindex, earning scores higher than the OECD comparator countries' mean score.
Named 'the most advanced digital society in the world' by Wired, ingenious Estonians are pathfinders, who have built an efficient, secure, and transparent ecosystem that saves time and money.
Estonia aims to be one step ahead with innovation and boasts a full digital ecosystem, world-class cyber-security, and first commercial 5G networks available.
Our companies are world leaders in blockchain, connected networks, and clean-tech, and are at the cutting edge of IoT, big data, automation and real-time computing.
We have digitally transformed our education system and are now combining biotechnology with the most advanced computer capabilities.
Building e-Estonia as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world has involved continuous experimentation and learning from our mistakes. Estonia sees the natural next step in the evolution of the e-state as moving basic services into a fully digital mode. This means that things can be done for citizens automatically and, in that sense, invisibly.

The Estonian power system consists of oil shale fired power plants in North-East Estonia, combined heat and power plant near Tallinn, wind parks, and hydro plants. The Estonian power grid is connected to Russian and Latvian ones, as well as to the Nordic grid (via two maritime cables).
|Live electricity and gas flows to and from Estonia
The power system of the Baltic States is currently technically part of the Integrated Power System/Unified Power System (IPS/UPS) of Russia. The strategic goal and big challenge of the Baltic States is to disconnect their power systems from the IPS/UPS of Russia and join the Continental European power grid and frequency area by 2026.
The price of electricity comprises four components: electricity, network service, renewable energy support, and excise duty. The price of electricity on the open market can be followed through Nord Pool Spot.
Water supply and wastewater services are provided by local water companies. For example, in Tallinn, the cost of one cubic meter of water for industrial use is 1.79 € (excluding VAT).
Industrial gas is distributed to customers through pipelines, distribution stations, and gas pressure reduction stations. The price of gas consists of gas, network service, and excise duty. The price of industrial gas is subject to negotiations based on annual total consumption.
The Estonian and Finnish natural gas transmission system operators Elering AS and Baltic Connector Oy are developing the Balticconnector transnational gas pipeline to interconnect the Estonian and Finnish gas transmission networks. Studies carried out have highlighted the significant socio-economic benefits of the project for both sides and other Baltic countries.
Estonia has a highly developed telecommunication and IT infrastructure. A fibre-optic backbone network has been built throughout the country. Two competing 10 Gbps optical networks are being built by competing service providers, being among the first such networks in Europe. The providers hope to be able to provide internet speeds of 10 Gbps to at least 40 percent of the households in Estonia within the next few years. At the same time, Estonia is covered by digital networks providing wireless internet. Internet service providers offer fast wireless connections with 4G covering almost the entire country and some commercial 5G networks already operational in the biggest cities.
Estonia's main international airport is located in Tallinn, the nearest European capital to Asia. There is another international airport in Tartu and regional airports in Kuressaare, Kärdla, and Pärnu.
The country has a well-developed port infrastructure. The ports are ice-free and easily navigable all year round. Railway connections allow cargo delivery from seven ports. Besides, there are free trade zones located at three of the major ports – Muuga, Sillamäe, Paldiski. The full list of ports, including those serving vessels more than 24 meters in length can be found in the Port Register.
The rail infrastructure is going to develop rapidly in the following years. Estonia's current rail gauge is compatible with the railway networks in Eastern Europe. In the following years, an additional rail connection will link Estonia with Central and Western Europe. The project, called Rail Baltica, is one of the biggest investments in the years to come in improving the travel opportunities of Estonian people as well as developing business and trade, tourism, and the exchange of goods.
Estonia has a good quality road network, designed and constructed to all EU-standards, with easy ground transport access to our EU neighbors.
In the following years, a new rail connection will link Estonia with Central and Western Europe. The project, called Rail Baltica, is one of the biggest investments in the years to come in improving the travel opportunities of Estonian people as well as developing business and trade, tourism, and the exchange of goods.
The railway route will ensure speeds of up to 249 km/h (passenger) and 120 km/h (freight) and will provide the opportunity to travel comfortably and quickly to Latvia and Lithuania, Central Europe, and further. An interactive map of the future rail network with additional details on the current status of its components can be found here.
There is a number of industrial parks with pre-developed modern infrastructure that welcome manufacturing and logistics companies. The parks have a lot to offer to different businesses and developers – tenants receive a wide choice of premises and services and, in many cases, the possibility to customise their site section to their specific needs.
These are some of the largest industrial parks in Estonia:
There are three free trade zones in different parts of Estonia that are logistically in great locations near highways, railways and ports.
The free trade zones are established by the Estonian government, and monitored by the Estonian Tax and Customs Board. All free zones in Estonia are open to foreign direct investments.
Goods in the free trade zone are considered as being outside the customs territory. Goods brought to the free zone for later re-export are not subject to VAT, excise nor customs duties. Also the Estonian speciality – no tax on reinvested profits – preserves in free trade zones.

The Luther Monthly
"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." Attributed to Martin Luther
Pastor's Postscript
Spring is here and everywhere we look we see rebirth! The leaves are coming out, the flowers are blooming, and my lawn needs mowing.
April promises to be rebirth at Bethesda as well. One Saturday features friendly competition at our Game Night Fellowship. Another Saturday has the Ladies Tea. And the spring book study for the Ladies begins in only 2 weeks!
Also, we draw very close to the end of our exposition through the book of Romans meaning we will begin a new book in less than 2 months. Our weekly Bible reading from the book of Acts also finishes soon and that spells new readings from a new book. The adult Sunday school class completes its study of parables this month as well and a new study will begin in there.
Yes, April marks a rebirth at Bethesda. If you are not part of all that is going on, why not plan on joining us in the coming weeks? The Game Night is April 9. The book study begins on the 12th. The ladies tea is on the 30th. And the other changes take place throughout the month.
If you are a member of our church, then be a member who is engaged with what the church is doing. Get involved! Use your gifts and abilities to serve Christ through our church. There is so much we can do, so much we should do, so let's get busy doing it!
May our great God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, richly
bless you this month!
Pastor Bruce
