Hi, I¡¯m SlashStrike (not the same person as slahser), and I¡¯m bringing you my guide to solo mid Legion Commander. I find her to be one of the most underrated heroes in the game, and not understood too well either.
Everyone has seen plenty of offlane LC being played, with that also being pretty much the only position she has seen competitive play in. However, this guide will be about solo mid LC, which is where I believe the hero has most potential, making great use of the exp and farm, and being a solid rune contester.
If you want to see me play Legion Commander or other heroes live at ~7000 MMR, you can check out my twitch channel as well as see my game history with her on dotabuff.
Lastly, section 6 is a video, as it is easier to visually demonstrate how exactly to pull off a successful duel pick-off in various situations.
(Thanks to Dota2wiki for the table)
Her starting stats as well as stat-gains are great in terms of Strength and Intelligence, with only agility slightly lacking. However, this is fine because the hero has two spells that help her hit faster. Her movement speed is very high at 320, which is somewhat unusual for a hero that also has an MS-boosting spell. Her turn rate is mediocre at 0.5, to a small extent balancing her high movement speed. Her cast-point is not bad but not as fast as you¡¯d like it to be, meaning it can be a bit difficult to get all your spells off in the correct order. Her attack damage is slightly above average and attack point is average, but with just a quelling blade it is almost impossible to get your last-hits denied. Her level 1 armor at 2.5 is also pretty good for a melee hero that starts with so much strength.
A solo mid Legion Commander¡¯s skill-build is fairly straightforward. There is of course some slight variation possible, but you will find yourself levelling your skills in the same way in 95% of games. Lastly, the scaling on all her spells is very linear and logical, so they have no significant value-point levels past level 1.
Turns the enemies¡¯ numbers against them, dealing damage and granting you bonus movement speed per unit or per hero. Deals bonus damage to illusions and summoned units as a percent of their current health.
Cast Time: 0.3+0
Cast Range: 1000
Radius: 330
Base Damage: 40/80/120/160
Damage per Creep: 14/16/18/20
Damage per Hero: 20/35/50/65
Summoned Units Damage: 25% of Current Health
Move Speed Bonus per Creep: 3%
Move Speed Bonus per Hero: 9%
Speed Duration: 7
Cooldown: 18 Manacost: 100
While the damage doesn¡¯t seem to scale that well, and you get all other bonuses fully from level 1, this is a spell you still definitely want maxed out by level 7. The damage is really not to be underestimated early on. Assuming 1 hero and 4 creeps, at level 4 it will deal 305 damage, which is not amazing, but quite good considering the massive casting range. As soon as there are more heroes and creeps, the damage goes up a lot.
If there¡¯s a big fight and you manage to hit 5 heroes and 7 creeps, that¡¯s 625 damage in an aoe which is absolutely massive. Granted, that situation will rarely arise, but it is not uncommon to hit a few heroes and get an average of 400 damage per cast, which is very good for a 100-mana nuke.
People tend to not spread out versus an LC, making this one of the strongest de-pushing spells, especially versus summoners. It also wrecks illusions at any stage of the game. It deals 25% of their current hp as damage, meaning that a typical illusion that takes 300% damage will lose (25¡Á3) 75% of its health, and then also take the nuke damage, often insta-killing it.
Lastly, this spell is perfect for cancelling blink-daggers from a very long range as you are about to initiate on someone with your own blink-duel.
Removes debuffs and disables from the target friendly unit, and grants bonus attack speed and health regen for a short time.
Cast Time: 0.3+0.83
Cast range: 800
Health Regen Bonus: 30/40/50/60
Attack Speed Bonus: 60/80/100/120
Duration: 5
Cooldown: 16/15/14/13 Manacost: 110
Fairly simple skill with plenty of application. You want this maxed out after Overwhelming Odds because the attack-speed boost is what will help you win duels. Great spell to sustain on the lane as well, since using it together with a bottle charge will restore 285 hp at the cost of only 40 mana.
It has a very high casting range which makes it great for saving allies in teamfights ¨C being a strong dispel, it removes a large amount of not only debuffs but also disables, including all stuns. There is of course a huge list of exceptions that cannot be dispelled, such as AA¡¯s Ice Blast, Dazzle¡¯s Weave, Viper¡¯s Viper strike, etc. ¨C some of them you have to memorize, but a good rule of thumb is that it does not dispel some long-duration ultimate-level debuffs, nor anything that covers an area for a period of time.
NOTICE: It cannot be cast on magic immune targets, so make sure you cast this on yourself before you pop bkb.
When attacked, Legion Commander has a chance to immediately attack again with bonus lifesteal.
Proc Chance: 25%
Lifesteal: 55%/65%/75%/85%
Cooldown: 2.7/2.1/1.5/0.9
The scaling of this spell recently got changed, making it a little bit weaker in the mid-game, but a whole lot better on the lane. With a 25% chance of proccing from level 1, simply attacking the enemy mid and aggroing all 4 creeps gives you a near-guaranteed proc, which is a very quick hit for harass that also heals you a little bit.
Later on in the game, the lifesteal is huge, and is what gives you higher EHP during duels, allowing you to take on enemies with more damage.
Legion Commander and the target enemy hero are forced to attack each other for a short duration. Neither hero can use items or abilities. If either hero dies during the duration, the hero winning the Duel gains permanent bonus damage.
Cast Time: 0.3+0
Cast Range: 150
Winner Attack Damage Bonus: 10/14/18
Duel Duration: 4/4.75/5.5 (Permanent)
Cooldown: 50 Manacost: 75
Finally we get to LC¡¯s defining spell, the ultimate that makes this hero so unique. Duel is what allows you to solo kill any hero if you are even slightly ahead, and almost any hero if you are a bit behind.
There are four types of duels.

Your Voice: Talk to the text is a waste of time
Britani Gibson
Everett High School is trying a new thing this year called "talking to the text." I think its dumb and I don't understand the concept of it. They say it's helping us comprehend the text and know what we just read. But like I said, it's not helping.
For me, talking to the text does nothing but interrupt my train of thought while reading, to write down what I'm thinking gets me off track. If I just read the whole passage, I comprehend better than writing down stuff that I'm thinking. It does nothing but throw me off.
Also, the teachers tell us to write more of what we're thinking. They don't know how much I was thinking, so telling me to write more, or I didn't write enough is dumb too. I don't see how we can talk to the text on a math problem either. Its not even relevant. If we only had to do it in English class it would be better because its actually relevant to what we're doing. Doing it in history, math, and science though? Irrelevant. Maybe I just don't get it, but I don't like it.

The Start'em Six
Carson Palmer, QB, Cardinals (vs. Buccaneers): Palmer has thrown for over 300 yards in three of his last four games. Now he faces a Buccaneers team with a weak secondary and strong run defense. Don't let the addition of Adrian Peterson effect your decision, as the Cardinals will need to throw to keep up with the potent Bucs offense. Not only will Palmer give you high volume, but he's possessed a high floor within the last four matchups after a Week 1 dud against the Lions. Start'em if you got'em.
Mike Gillislee, RB, Patriots (at Jets): Ever since his three-TD explosion in Week 1, Gillislee has slowly fallen off the face of Fantasy relevance, especially in PPR leagues. Gillislee's a boom or bust play at this point, as he relies solely on TDs. With the Patriots' defense playing as bad as they've been, Gillislee hasn't received the high volume of touches he'd normally get if the Patriots could hold onto large leads. However, Sunday's date with the Jets is a terrific opportunity for Gillislee to get back on track. The Jets possess a bottom of the barrel run defense, so if the Patriots could take a significant lead, Gillislee could reap the volume of benefits.
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints (vs. Lions): Kamara was slowly coming along for the Saints, then made a big splash in Week 4 with 10 catches and a TD. In PPR leagues, Kamara is on the verge of becoming a must-start, and now with Peterson gone, his volume should increase significantly. Kamara was underrated heading into the regular season due to a crowded backfield, but there's no denying his outstanding ability. Look for Kamara to cement himself as a Top-20 PPR RB or better on a weekly basis.
Martavis Bryant, WR, Steelers (at Chiefs): This is my last hurrah with Bryant. Besides his 91-yard, one-TD performance in Week 2, he's been a dud. Part of it is Bryant's fault, but part of it is Ben Roethlisberger missing him deep on many plays. Bryant's seen his fair share of targets, so volume isn't the issue. if Big Ben can get it together, coupled with Bryant's astronomical talent, I still believe he can be a valuable Fantasy resource in the second half of the season. Sunday may be the start of a promising run.
Falcons D/ST (vs. Dolphins): The Falcons don't have the most dominant defense by any means, but for Fantasy purposes, they can make things happen. The Falcons have the playmakers on defense to cause turnovers & the high-powered offense to put them in an advantageous position to create turnovers. Another positive for this Falcons defense is the probable return of talented pass rusher Vic Beasley. Add in a game against a stagnant offense led by turnover-prone Jay Cutler, and you get the best team defense to stream in Week 6; one that could possibly end up as the highest scoring defense as well.
The Sit'em Six
Tarik Cohen, RB, Bears (at Ravens): Cohen's touches have gone from a season-high 16 in Week 3, 10 in Week 4, to just seven in Monday night's loss to the Vikings. A tough matchup against a stout Ravens defense doesn't help Cohen's cause, adding to Cohen's negative trends. Cohen's still a valuable PPR RB to own, so be patient, but I recommend sitting him until he bounces back or has a great matchup.
Carlos Hyde, RB, 49ers (at Redskins): Hyde had been relatively consistent this season until last week's eight carries for 11 yards against the Colts. He now faces a Redskins defense that's been stingy against both the run and pass all season. Other factors, like the 49ers' poor defense and the emergence of Matt Breida, also hurt his chances for consistent production. The 49ers have played catch-up in most games and although Hyde is an above-average receiver, he needs to find success on the ground to produce at an elevated level. I suggest benching him only if you have a player of similar volume and skill.
Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs (vs. Steelers): The Steelers have held down number one WRs all season, and Alex Smith's dominance has to hit a roadblock at some point, right? Hill's been inconsistent through the first five weeks and most teams look to key on him to limit his big-play ability. Look for the Chiefs to rely heavily on Kareem Hunt and control the clock against a Steelers team that's been underperforming. Expect the Steelers to come out firing after a disappointing start to their 2017 campaign, as nothing can help a team's confidence more than blowing out the league's last undefeated team.
Rishard Matthews, WR, Titans (vs. Colts): Matthews has been an overall disappointment to start the regular season. Last week against the Dolphins was no different as Matthews only had three receptions for 34 yards, albeit without QB Marcus Mariota under center. Mariota may not play in Week 6, and the decision to start Matthews in Fantasy is dependent on Mariota's health. What's worse is the Titans won't play until Monday night, leaving Fantasy owners with few options if Mariota doesn't play. Either way, Matthews hasn't been the reliable PPR receiver we've seen in the past, so I suggest a different option if available.
Aaron Jones, RB, Packers (at Vikings): Jones burst onto the scene last week with an explosive 20 points in PPR formats. Normally, I'd suggest riding the hot hand, but with Ty Montgomery seemingly healthy enough to come back and a matchup with a stingy Vikings defense, I recommend going a different route. We've seen plenty of players explode onto the scene like this, only to fall from grace and never reach those high marks again. However, I do believe Jones has talent, but this could be a flash in the pan type game for him this season.
Redskins D/ST (vs 49ers): On paper, a date with the 49ers at home looks like a mouth-watering matchup for any defense, but dig a little deeper. Brian Hoyer threw for over 350 yards against the Colts in Week 5. Now, I know doing that versus an awful Colts team isn't very impressive, but Hoyer is starting to show signs of the capabilities he had last season. The 49ers normally attempt to create offense through their run game with Carlos Hyde, but the problem is that teams key on the run against them. Not only will teams look to shut out Hyde and the rushing attack, but most of them will score points aplenty against the 49ers' weak defense. Combine all of this with Hyde's recent woes and health, the 49ers having to play catch-up in most games, and the emergence of players like receiver Marquise Goodwin and tight end George Kittle in the passing game, and there's potential for this offense to put up points. Add the fact that CB Josh Norman will not be playing in Week 6, and you have a formula for a successful 49ers offense. Look for a better streaming option than the Redskins this week.

Current Affairs for IAS Exams - 12 MARCH 2019
Supreme court might refer plea challenging reservation law to constitutional bench
- The Supreme Court on Monday decided to consider the question of whether the challenge to the 10% economic reservation law should be heard by a Constitution Bench. A three-judge Bench, led by Chief Justice of India RanjanGogoi, scheduled the hearing for March 28.
- The court, however, refused to pass any interim order to stay or hamper the implementation of the Constitution (103rd Amendment) Act that provides for 10% reservation in government jobs and educational institutions to the economically backward in the unreserved category.
- The Act amends Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution, adding clauses empowering the government to provide reservation on the basis of economic backwardness.
- The petitions, mainly one filed by activist TehseenPoonawala, said the Act violated the basic features of the Constitution. The petitioners argued that the 50% ceiling was "engrafted as a part of the Basic Structure of the Constitution's equality code" by the court.
- The petition also contended that the term 'economically weaker sections' remained undefined in the Act, along with the "ambiguous" term of 'State'. The question of reference came up even as the Centre sought more time to file its counter.
- "While the impugned amendment attempts to overcome the applicability of Articles 19(1)(g) and 29(2), it remains silent on Article 14, which protects the citizens from manifestly arbitrary State action," the petition said.
India becomes world's second largest arms importer
- India was the world's second largest arms importer from 2014-18, ceding the long-held tag as largest importer to Saudi Arabia, which accounted for 12% of the total imports during the period.
- "India was the world's second largest importer of major arms in 2014–18 and accounted for 9.5% of the global total," according to the latest report published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on Monday.
- However, Indian imports decreased by 24% between 2009-13 and 2014-18, partly due to delays in deliveries of arms produced under licence from foreign suppliers, such as combat aircraft ordered from Russia in 2001 and submarines ordered from France in 2008, the report stated.
- Pakistan stood at the 11th position accounting for 2.7% of all global imports. Its biggest source was China, from which 70% of arms were sourced, followed by the U.S. at 8.9% and, interestingly, Russia at 6%.
- China, which has emerged as a major arms exporter, has increased its share by 2.7% for 2014-18 compared to 2009-13. Its biggest customers are Pakistan and Bangladesh.
- As Indian imports reduced, the impact was on Russian exports of major arms, which decreased by 17% between 2009-13 and 2014-18. The report said this was partly due to "general reductions in Indian and Venezuelan arms imports", which have been among the main recipients of Russian arms exports in previous years.
CRISIL report says uncertain govt.policies hit solar capacity addition
- Inconsistent government actions have cast a shadow over developer sentiment in the solar sector and slowed down capacity addition momentum, Crisil said in a report. This will result in the government achieving only 60% of its 100 GW target by 2022, it added.
- The report said the two main factors increasing cost pressures for the solar sector included the imposition of the safeguard duty on solar component imports and the uncertainty over the Goods and Services Tax treatment of the sector.
- "Clarification on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) procedures and its implementation for solar was not forthcoming for over a year, impacting commissioning schedules and project costs across developers," the report said.
- The report said that the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had issued a clarification on the issue, saying that entirely solar projects would be taxable at 5%, but it also said that if an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract included both supply and services, it would be adjudged on a case-to-case basis.
- "This created further concern, as most projects were set up on an EPC basis, whether in-house or outsourced," the report said. "The issue lacked clarity for over a year, until the GST Council in December 2018 clarified with regardto EPC contracts by setting a ratio of 70:30 of the entire value of the EPC contract, where 70% will be taxed at 5%, and 30% at 18%, to factor in both the supply and service component."
- However, this clarification has meant an increased tax incidence, of about 8-9%, which is higher than the 5% expected by the industry, leading to an increase in final capital costs.
Survey reports majority workplaces as male-dominated
- For 97% of working women, life has changed post migration, said a survey by ICICI Lombard on the physical and mental health of working women through their career span.
- The study surveyed working women in the age group 22-55 years, covering aspects like migration for work, resuming work post maternity and women at work facing menopause. The objective of the survey was to understand issues faced by working women at the workplace.
- While gender equality at the workplace has become a byword in the corporate sector, the survey has brought forth the fact that 53% of the working women believe their workplaces are still male-dominated.
- Another interesting facet of the survey was in that 62% of the respondents believed that recognition at par with male counterparts notwithstanding, there is a gap when it comes to remuneration. This was found to be more prevalent in the manufacturing and financial sectors.
- Workplace abuse was an aspect faced more by older women (45-55 years), with a majority of them reporting this to HR (43%), but a significant lot (32%) also quitting on account of this.
- Migration for work has proved to be a positive change for 97% of working women, enhancing self-confidence and financial independence. Cultural shock, though, is a major challenge.
- Respondents to the survey relating to menopause revealed that depression is a common emotion impacting 89% of working women, leading 42% of them to take leave once a month.

India holds crucial discussions on terror with four countries
- India on Monday held crucial discussions with Saudi Arabia, United States, Turkey and the UAE on countering Pakistan-based terror groups, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
- In a telephone conversation with President RecepTayyipErdogan of Turkey, Prime Minister NarendraModi reiterated India's position that terrorism "remains one of the gravest threats to global peace and security".
- Mr Modi also held telephone talks with Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and thanked him for the support from his side for India's appearance as a "Guest of Honour" at the recent ministerial of the OIC where India asked for a united front against terrorism.
- It was the second such communication in two weeks as the Crown Prince had earlier called for de-escalation of tension between India and Pakistan.
- Prime Minister Modi also had a personal meeting with the visiting Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia Adel bin Ahmed Al Jubeir on Monday evening. "Prime Minister thanked the leadership of Saudi Arabia for expressing full solidarity with India in the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
- It was agreed that Saudi Arabia and India should work together for irreversible, verifiable and credible steps against all terrorists without any discrimination," a press statement from the Ministry of External Affairs said after the deputy minister completed his hours-long visit here.
China not agreeing to listMasoodazhar in UN1267 committee
- China on Monday gave no indication that it is likely to change its stand on MasoodAzhar in the UN committee that meets on Wednesday to vote on designating head of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group as an international terrorist.
- In response to a question on Beijing's position in the upcoming March 13 meeting of the UN Security Council's 1267 committee, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang stuck to the position that the security council, as the "main body" of the UN system does not take its decisions superficially. He also signalled that that the die had not been cast on Azhar's designation just yet.
- China has on three occasions placed a "technical hold" on Azhar's designation as a global terrorist in the 1267 committee. Yet another attempt on the JeM chief's designation, led by the United States, France and Britain, has begun following the February 14 Pulwama attack. Mr. Lu hinted that China favoured detailed deliberations on the issue of designation. "Only decisions made through responsible and serious discussions are the way to solve problems sustainably," he observed.
UN Environment assemblyfocusses on plastic issue
- Countries from around the world set their sights Monday on a pivotal deal to curb plastic waste, a source of long-term pollution and worsening contamination of the ocean's food chain
- Thousands of delegates, business leaders and campaigners are in Nairobi for the five-day UN Environment Assembly, the top annual forum on the planet's environmental crisis.
- The UN wants individual countries to sign up to "significantly" reduce plastic production, including a phasing out of single-use plastics by 2030 — a goal inspired by the 2015 Paris Agreement on voluntary reductions of carbon emissions.
- A landmark report due to be out this week is expected to ram home the warning of the threat to ecosystems from rampant plastic and chemical waste.
- The world currently produces more than 300 million tonnes of plastics annually, and there are at least five trillion plastic pieces floating in our oceans. Microplastics have been found in the deepest sea trenches and high up the earth's tallest peaks, and plastic consumption is growing year-on-year.
- "Plastic is a very good material, it's durable, flexible and light," Mr.Kiisler said. "This means we should make the best out of it for as long as possible instead of disposing of it."
- The Nairobi meeting comes against the backdrop of series of UN reports outlining in stark terms the damage mankind is doing to the planet, much of it due to reckless consumption.
- The One Planet Summit on Thursday will bring together heads of State, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenyan counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta to lend political clout to the process.
SAFF women's championship kicks off in Nepal
- The fifth South Asian Football Federation, SAFF, Women's Championship kicks off in Biratnagar, Nepal today. Defending champion India has been drawn in Group B in the six-team competition alongside Maldives and Sri Lanka, while host Nepal has been kept in Group A with Bangladesh and Bhutan.
- The opening match will be played between Nepal and Bhutan this afternoon. Unbeaten in 19 matches from the last four editions, India will take on Maldives tomorrow. Indian coach Maymol Rocky has expressed confidence in her side.

Graphene : Strongest Substance Known to Humankind?
Graphene is a miracle material of the 21st century. Apart from its exceptional flexibility and electrical and thermal conductivities, it is also the strongest material known to humankind. Or is it?
What is the hardest material known to us? You'd probably answer, diamond. And you would be mostly correct. Hardness means that diamond will almost never wear down, and you can't drill into it using any other material. It is also one of the stiffest materials known. That means that, if a force is applied on it that tries to bend it or twist it out of shape, it resist deformation extremely well indeed. In fact, the only known material that is even close to diamond in "stiffness" is the humble pencil tip.
Well, not quite the pencil tip. More specifically, a certain form of one of the principal ingredients of a pencil tip.
Pencils are wonderful objects. They are both the messiest and the cleanest writing instruments around. They can be the most practical as well as the most hazardous writing instruments in outer space. And they are fun to sharpen. And they are made of lead…
Err…not quite. This is a common misconception that is, hopefully, no longer so common. Pencil cores are a combination of graphite mixed with a clay binder. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in hexagonal lattices making up individual layers that are an atom thick. A very large number of such layers stacked on top of each other make up graphite. The layers stick to each other rather loosely, and are prone to slippage. Which is why a graphite pencil leaves marks on paper or other relatively rough surfaces which pull stacks of graphite layers off of each other. So graphite is quite the opposite of diamond when it comes to hardness.
An atomic monolayer of graphite is called graphene. It was the first two-dimensional atomic crystal known to us 1. Graphene has incredible electronic 2,3, optical 4 and thermal 5 properties that makes it ideal for cutting-edge real-world applications such as flexible electronic displays, corrosion resistant coatings, biological devices and a host of others 6–8.
In addition to all this, graphene is also very stiff. Very very stiff. So stiff that "It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil, to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap."
This statement was made nine years ago by James Hone of Columbia University who, in 2008, co-authored a paper 9 where he and his coworkers describe how they used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to measure the so-called "strength" of graphene. Their experiment involves spreading graphene out on a perforated plate. Holes on the plate of diameters 1-1.5 micrometre are separated by distances of 0.5 micrometre. They then use the AFM to indent the graphene just above the central parts of the perforations, and were consequently able to measure its mechanical properties. Their experiments were in agreement with phonon instability studies of graphene done a year earlier 10 which set the value of Young's modulus of graphene at an incredible 1.05 TPa, or 1050 GPa.
Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of solid material. If a load, that is, a force is applied to a solid body, it will deform, but it will resist that deformation. Once the load is removed, it will try to regain its original shape. This is elasticity, a property of solid materials that can be easily demonstrated with a simple rubber band. One can apply different loads to a solid body and experience different deformations. By measuring the stress (the force per unit area) and the strain (proportional deformation of the body), one can draw a graph with these two quantities. If the load is such that the stress-strain graph is a straight line, then the body is said to be in the Hookean11 or linear regime. In this regime, the slope of the stress-strain graph is the Young's modulus (E). It is the ratio of the applied stress to the resultant strain, and is measured in units of pressure 12. SI units are the N/m2 or the pascal, while pounds per square inch (psi) is the Imperial measure. More practical units for E are the megapascal (MPa), the gigapascal (GPa) or even the terapascal (TPa).
Young's modulus is thus a measure of how much load we need to see a certain amount of deformation in the material, provided we are in the linear regime, of course. If we increase the load too much and step out of the linear regime, nonlinear terms enter the force-displacement relation and E no longer remains the only measure of stiffness. In either case, a large value of E implies that a large load is necessary to bend the material and consequently, one can conclude that the material in question is very stiff.
So how stiff is graphene? How high is 1050 GPa?
To get a feel for that, we would need to compare it to everyday items that are also considered strong in everyday parlance, and stiff from a material science perspective. Take A36 standard structural steel, the most common building steel in the USA. Steel is usually considered a strong material. Superman 13 is the Man of Steel. A36 has an E value of 200 GPa . That is a fifth of graphene.
We could start calling him the Man of Graphene. Just a thought, DC.
Some sources argue that graphene is over 200 times as strong as steel. They are talking about tensile strength, which is the resistance to being pulled apart. The intrinsic or tensile strength of graphene is 130 GPa 9 whereas that of A36 steel is a 400-550 MPa 14. That is a factor of nearly 250!
Now hold on here. Steel is strong, but not as strong as tungsten. Tungsten is strong. And robust. It has the highest melting point of all known elements and the second highest boiling point. It is 1.7 times denser than lead, and as dense as gold or uranium. It also has an E value of 400 GPa. That's two-fifths of graphene. It has a tensile strength of 1510 MPa, which is the highest among metals 15. That's a factor of 86.
Ok, scratch tungsten.
What else is left? Diamond. Yes, diamond is stiff enough, isn't it?
So, we're back to diamond, are we?
Before we move on to diamond, let us try and do a bit of back-of-the-envelope calculations to figure out if Hone's elephant-pencil analogy has any merit. There are, primarily, three species of elephants on Earth. Asian elephants are smaller, lighter and have smaller ears than their African cousins, who tend to weigh about 6 tons 16. That is 6000 kg. This is the mass. Their weight is thus approximately 60000 N or 6*10^4 N 17. Now, a pencil lead (made of graphene) is about 2 mm in diameter. I shall assume that a well-sharpened tip will be about a tenth in size, or about 1*10^(-4) m in radius. That is equivalent to an area of π*10^(-8) sqm. Thus the pressure is of the order of 10^12 N/sqm or 1 TPa, the same as the Young's modulus of graphene. So yes, Hone wasn't quite rambling when he spoke of elephants, pencils and Saran Wraps…
Hold on. Saran Wraps?
Saran is the trade name for polyvinylidene chloride, and has been used for decades to wrap and store food. Sheets of Saran Wrap have thicknesses in the tens and hundreds of micrometers, whereas graphene, being an atomic monolayer, is thousands of times thinner. So I don't quite understand why Hone spoke of the thickness of Saran Wraps. Perhaps I should ask him. I think I'll put a pin on that idea.
Anyway, diamond. It has an E value that is about or a little more than 1 TPa, and is comparable to graphene in stiffness. However, diamond and graphene are not the stiffest materials known. Linear acetylenic carbon (LAC) or carbyne is an allotrope of carbon composed of chains of C atoms with alternate single and triple bonds. Carbyne has an E value of 32.7 TPa! 18 Everything stiff is carbon.
So all that is very stiff stuff. But are these materials tough?
Toughness and stiffness are both mechanical properties of solid materials that have to do with strength of some form or the other. Stiffness, as described earlier, is the ability of a material to resist deformation. Toughness, on the other hand, is the ability to resist fracture. It is difficult to beat a stiff material out of shape, just as it is difficult to break a tough material. Unfortunately, in most materials, these two properties are often mutually exclusive 19. For instance, tungsten is very stiff. It is very hard to bend tungsten or beat it out of shape. However, unless it is in a pure single crystalline state, tungsten is brittle and prone to breakage. This is because polycrystalline tungsten has grains, and fractures occur along the grain boundaries separating the grains 20, just like earthquake-prone geological faults. Or magnetic domains, as I explain later.
So what about graphene? Is it tough?
Well, if Zhang and his coworkers 21 or Shekhawat and Ritchie 7 are to be believed, no, not quite. At least not in its polycrystalline form anyway.
We have conveniently skipped an aspect of the whole graphene story that, for almost a hundred and fifty years 22,23 before 2004, no one knew the solution to. The question was simple : how does one actually synthesise graphene? Getting graphite is easy. It occurs as a mineral in rocks and can be mined. World production of graphite was 1.2 million tonnes in 2016 24. We can go to a stationary store, buy a few pencils, extract the cores and we'll have all the graphite we'll need.
But how does one go about extracting graphene? It has to be an atom thick, since it is, by definition, a monolayer of graphite. Extracting a monolayer of graphite is no mean task, and it took researchers a century and a half and exotic, complicated and expensive methods 23 to finally hit upon the solution. In 2004, Andre Geim and his colleague Konstantin Novoselov realised they could extract graphene using the humble Scotch tape 25.
Yes. Scotch tape. Also called Sellotape, transparent tape, and really-that-was-all-it-took-to-extract-graphene? Costs virtually nothing.
This method of extracting graphene is called, rather logically, exfoliation. It is excellent for lab work, and can be tweaked to produce nearly perfect pure monocrystalline graphene. However, it is extremely ineffective for industrial production since (a) it is not scalable and (b) it is rather expensive. Although Scotch tape itself is rather cheap, the process of synthesis of graphene using exfoliation is decidedly not. In fact, as of April 2008, a square centimetre of exfoliated graphene would cost $100 million! 26
Thus, a second technique 27, that of chemical vapour deposition (CVD), is now used to produce nearly 300,000 sqm of graphene annually 7. However, graphene synthesized using CVD is decidedly polycrystalline, and this brings in imperfections such as grain boundaries (GB) and triple junctions (TJ). A GB is the interface between crystalline regions of different lattice orientations, while a TJ is an intersection of three such interfaces. Crystalline grains are a bit like magnetic domains, where all the small molecular magnetic dipoles point towards a particular direction on average, but different magnetic domains can have different magnetic orientations. In polycrystalline graphene, GBs and TJs are defects where residual stresses concentrate and accumulate, and, ultimately lead to fracture. In fact, it was found, both numerically and experimentally, that the toughness of polycrystalline graphene is only about 20-50% of polycrystalline diamond 7,21.
Does that mean that graphene is no longer the undisputed strongmaterial champion of the world?
Well, not quite. It is still possible to produce low quantities of very high-grade graphene that is free of GB and TJ faults. In fact, layers of such graphene have been stacked to successfully test out bulletproof armour 28. However, unless we develop scalable fabrication techniques that enable large-scale production of fault-free graphene, mass production cannot happen. Nevertheless, graphene is a miracle material, and has the potential to be the next disruptive technology 1, becoming a mascot of the scientific and technological progress of early twenty-first century physics and science. Who knows, perhaps the real-life artificially intelligent android Lt Cmdr Data will be mostly graphene.
Some of the links marked "PubMed" are quite wrong. The references are correct, however. This is an issue with the otherwise wonderful Academic Blogger's Toolkit (Derek Sifford) that I am using. I hope to be able to correct it soon.

VPN Service Mac: Securely Connect to your Office Network
How does a VPN work?
To give you an idea of the concept, it allows you to print documents or scan them from your office printers. You can also connect to your office Servers, accessing shared Data like Calendars, DataBases, Mails and network shares in case of an urgent need. To be connected, it is as fast as a mouse click. Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac Os X, Android and iOs has this Remote Connection feature (VPN) in standard.
To summarize, it is as if your computer was in the office and you were physically everywhere in the world, remotely controlling it.
VPN are secured Data tunnels which are strongly encrypted and are easy to use. So if you have an office network in which you have data that needs to be accessible 24h/day, it is the solution.
Is the Phuket Internet Network stable and fast enough for VPN?
Everyday, Phuket is getting a better internet network. Thanks to internet service providers such as TOT, 3BB or True, we can offer to have a Fiber Optic internet access, thought not as perfect as it should be, yet.
However almost every Phuket resident can have a descent internet access using a DSL or 3G connection.
Regarding this improving network stability and quality, Virtual Private Network (VPN) Routers allows offsite users to connect to their office network and its service.

Liquid CD's Overview
All of the CD's come with a maturity date, which if not met can cause the investor to pay penalty fee for the early withdrawal. However, liquid CD's allow investors to take their money away earlier without incurring any penalties. The interest paid on such CD's is usually more than the one stated by the money market rate of the bank. However, it is lower than the traditional CD that has the same minimum and term.
The conditions and terms vary from one bank to another. It is up to the particular bank to decide on how to regulate the CD's it issues.
Some banks will provide you with the opportunity to make two withdrawals free of penalty fee if a specific minimum amount of balance is kept. However, your rate will decrease significantly if you decide two make more than two withdrawals or your balance falls below the minimum required. The new lower rate will be applied for the remaining of the term.
This offer, however, doesn't enjoy high popularity among investors. The most commonly explanation given about this is the minimum balance that clients are required to maintain.
There are other banks that allow early withdrawals even if the balance decreases below the minimum required. However, typically the rate drops as well.
There are also many banks that include a clause, which states that an account will be closed in case of withdrawal. This means that no partial withdrawals are allowed during the term of the liquid CD in question.
When you purchase a liquid CD you should consider when you will be able to make an early withdrawal. By law you cannot make a withdrawal before seven days have not passed. Otherwise, penalty will be incurred. Thus, banks should set the first withdrawal without penalty above this time period.
You should also research beforehand how many withdrawals you can make. Make a comparison between the benefits of liquidity and the CD with no liquidity options to see whether it is worth giving away the return.
Finally, though liquid CD's have their negative traits, taken as a whole liquid CD's can be still more beneficial than savings account vehicles, due to the additional benefits they provide that allow clients to match the CD with their needs. Thus, if you have some free cash to invest for the longer term and you are looking for higher yields, CD's may be the right choice for you.

10 Weapons That Changed the World
11. Trebuchet
Siege warfare, where the military troops used everything from crude hill forts to commanding natural stone citadels to protect the soldiers from enemy fire, were popular, simple to set up  and easy to maintain for months at a time. The trebuchet completely transformed the equilibrium of siege warfare. It was far superior to traditional catapults, and instead of spending weeks or sometimes even months to destroy a barricade, the power and accuracy of the mighty trebuchet, coupled with the size of the weapon's projectiles, got the job done in several days, at most, making it a hallmark in weaponry history.

Satisfied customers are a brand's best ambassadors
Why not incentivize them to promote you even more?
It's every brand's dream: pulpit-pounding customers telling everyone who will listen how great you are. These evangelists cost you nothing and bring a level of credibility no other marketing channel can. Not to mention astronomically sweet conversion rates.
Now, with SOMA, brands can reward this evangelism—and encourage much more of it—by allowing your most loyal customers to monetize their passion. In the process, you can exponentially grow your distribution network; distribution, as we all know, presents one of the largest bottlenecks to brand growth.
Introducing the SOMA reselling function
Given that the SOMA marketplace integrates social media functionality as a core component, all of your customers will have a profile, a newsfeed, and the ability to follow you, comment, like, and share. Because SOMA is built on blockchain, we can add one more interaction to the these. If you enable the feature, a customer can choose to 'resell' your product, and when she does so, all her followers will see it for sale on her newsfeed and profile. If one of them buys it from her, a 'smart contract' takes her commission out of the sale automatically…no paperwork on your part.
Bringing it home
Let's say you're a watch microbrand and would like to scale (SOMA has chosen the wristwatch scene as our first market). You decide to amplify your distribution efforts with SOMA's reselling function.
On your SOMA retail management system (storefront backend), when you create item listings, you'll have the option to enable reselling (a setting also allows universal enabling of this feature). You choose to do so, and a prompt asks you to set the commission.
If you leave the commission blank, you're allowing the would-be reseller to set their desired commission, after which you receive a notification and can accept or reject their reselling offer. A chat feature allows haggling. If you want to skip all that, just set the commission you're willing to pay and be done with it.
Say you offer 10% commission on a $1,200.00 watch. Does an easy $120 motivate your SOMA followers and customers? You'll find out. Considering how easy it is for them, probably. You can always increase it later if you're not getting enough quality takers.
Horology nut George Wilkerson of Manchester, UK follows your every update on his SOMA newsfeed and owns several of your watches. His friends have admired them and have hinted at purchasing one for themselves.
Additionally, George has several hundred followers on the SOMA platform, who interact enthusiastically with his posts (which usually involve a #wristshot of his watches in various locales).
To top it off, George maintains a WordPress blog with a couple thousand subscribers, on which he posts every other month or so. A mix of travelogue, stream-of-consciousness, and life updates, George's writing amuses and engages his readers—and he almost always manages to weave a watch review aspect into his blogging.
George goes into action
Scanning his SOMA newsfeed of a Saturday morning, coffee in hand, George notices that your brand page has a new update: you've just listed your latest creation. George 'likes' the post instinctively and comments 'another masterpiece guys…wouldn't expect anything less from you.' He then pauses over the 'resell' button. This is new: he clicks it and sees that he can make $120. That's small potatoes to him, but he's intrigued regardless and follows through on the reselling prompts.
Almost immediately, George sees a notification that 'Beckett has liked your post' and 'Beckett has commented on your post.' 'What's this? You an authorized distributor or what?' Beckett says. 'Lol I guess so' you respond. Beckett gives a thumbs up, and more likes and interactions pour in. An hour later, one of your friends has clicked 'Buy' on your post and you have your commission in your SOMA wallet.
If growth is what you're after…
(Understandably, not all brands prioritize growth. We respect the dedicated artisan who produces limited-edition products and cares nothing for expanding operations. Such brands can still benefit from SOMA in other ways—most notably, our ability to verify the provenance of products to successive owners and tell a story about each product over its lifecycle—without availing themselves of our reselling function. Growth is a huge priority to many brands, however, and we're assuming you fall into the latter group if you're still reading.)
How would you like to have a hundred Georges? A thousand? Ten thousand?
A similar increase in distribution would normally require substantial administrative scale-up, but not with SOMA. Not only do you not need to train George, manage George, and pay George's commission—you don't even need to know George's identity! Hundreds or thousands of anonymous resellers bring no workload to you: all you need to know is that sales are booming, profits are incoming, and commissions are being paid on autopilot. SOMA's robust reporting system provides any visibility you need, when you need it, but otherwise you're free to focus on making watches, fishing, or…whatever.
With your finger on the commission dial, you can shut off resales or alter your commission payout (higher to attract more resellers, lower if you're having trouble keeping up with demand).
George's new leaf…
George, meanwhile, plays around with reselling a few more of your watches, then does so with some of his other favorite brands. Easy peasy, and soon a nice stream of side income tugs his attention away from his accounting job. He realizes that he can promote his SOMA listings across the web: in addition to selling within the SOMA marketplace, he begins to feature them at the end of his blog posts, on Facebook, and elsewhere.
Eventually, George does this fulltime, makes more money than he did before, and loves every minute of it. Beyond watches, he reviews and sells other men's fashion items, travel gear, and, eventually, luxury automobiles.

When terminating the socket youll need a cable to be run to a pattress box and then Q tim the 1 wire should be on the black screw then the 2 wire should be on the screw down low and to the right with the 3 wire on the remaining screw to the left of the 2 wire. Carefully While we have not been able to see the report itself one of our sources has and says the report goes into very specific detail about the powersource hardware and what it is doing and how.
To make your own network cables you need some raw cat 5 5e or 6 cable a composite cable consisting of four twisted pairs of internal wires some rj45 diagrams to figure out how to arrange the Sure its not too difficult to follow wiring diagrams and specifications the data outlet is almost always one or two rj 45 jacks mounted on a single gang plate. The rj 45 is the 8 pin modular Q with apollo there were some crew reassignments we would work with the engineers and go over the wiring diagrams and try to puzzle out what had happened why it did that why it didnt do what.
It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Q See Wiring Diagram Rj45. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Q See Wiring Diagram Rj45. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. Q See Wiring Diagram Rj45. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Inspired by Mother of Many in Woodbury's story of her daughter J's meandering beagles (BB, 7/24/2011-3/8, Jack and Wilson, here's JaDy ("now in Texas"): "My roommates and I had a beagle-mix dog that also took every opportunity to dash out the door and run the neighborhood.
"She was impossible to catch on foot, so we got the idea to get the car, drive up near her and call out the window: 'Do you want to go for a ride?' Just open the door, and the dog happily jumped in.
"The only ride she got was directly back to the house.
"She fell for it every time."
Not exactly what she had in mind
Anne Nonny Mouse: "My family has always vacationed in Hayward, Wisconsin, at a little resort called Shady Bay (which, sadly, is in existence no more). We loved the rustic little cabins and roughing it; no fancy hotels for us. If it had a fire pit and a beach, we were happy, and, oh yes, it had to have a fully functioning indoor bathroom. It was the kind of vacation where you were out living life and not worrying about housekeeping. You just did the dishes and occasionally swept out all the sand the kids brought in from the beach, and you were off for a day of fishing or swimming or anything else in the great outdoors. Everyone was in and out at different times, and sometimes you'd just grab something to eat whenever you felt like meandering back to the cabin.
"One day, I made myself a sandwich out of some cheese out of the fridge. Delicious WISCONSIN cheese, our favorite kind, from the Hayward deli.
"Took a bite, and it was crunchy. What is wrong with this cheese? Took another bite. Boy, this cheese is awful!
"My girls were sitting at the table with me. 'Did you two eat any of this cheese? It's just awful.' (They shook their heads no.)
"I took another bite, and the cheese was even crunchier. I peeled back the bread for a closer look at it, and it was covered in fine, white sand. WHAT THE HECK?! THIS CHEESE IS COVERED WITH SAND!
"Then my daughter fessed up that she had opened the package of cheese, and the entire thing had fallen on the floor (where life had been lived to the fullest all week, and who knows what had scampered across it). She was a little concerned about wasting an entire package of cheese freshly purchased from the deli, so she'd brushed it off and returned it to the fridge. Supposedly it was good to go for the rest of us.
"My daughter gave a whole new meaning to a SANDwich for me."
Our birds, ourselves
Ask Al B Division
Walt of Wayzata: "We have a question for Al B of Hartland.
"This morning, we were watching two adult chickadees sitting in our crabapple tree. They were feeding three juveniles who were fat, dumb and happy (actually, they seemed bigger than the parents), and the way they were feeding them was to peck at the actual leaves of the tree; they weren't picking off the little budding crabapples. Then they would stick whatever they were getting off the leaves into the juvenile birds' mouths. We can see no evidence of insects or aphids or whatever on those leaves. And we were just curious: What is it that they're getting, to feed the juveniles?"
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: We shipped Walt and company's curiosity to our Official Ornithologist, Al B of Hartland, who's told us all, you remember, that the chickadee is his favorite bird: "Dear Walt of Wayzata,
"Chickadees eat many tiny insects that they find in tree bark. They also snap up crawling insects from leaves and inside weeds and grasses. In winter, black-capped chickadees eat about half seeds, berries, and other plant matter, and half animal food (insects, spiders, suet, and sometimes fat and meat from frozen carcasses). In spring, summer, and fall, insects, spiders, and other animal food make up 80 to 90 percent of their diet. At feeders, chickadees take mostly sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, peanut butter, and mealworms.
"So what were your wonderful birds feeding their young? It could have been insects, larvae, and eggs that it had devoured before you had a chance to investigate. It could have been some flying insects that flew instead of being eaten. Or, in the hot weather we've been having, it could have been that the parents were feeding dewdrops or raindrops to thirsty babies.
"Chickadees are such interesting birds. Every autumn, black-capped chickadees allow brain neurons containing old information to die, replacing them with new neurons so they can adapt to changes in their social flocks and environment even with their tiny brains.
"It would be good if we could do that. Then we would all remember how to drive when winter hits.
"Thanks for looking at the birds."
Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?
Patty-Cakes of Inver Grove Heights: "Earlier this afternoon, I received an email with a bunch of questions. (You're supposedly Older Than Dirt if you can answer them all.)
"One of the questions was: 'What method did women use to look as if they were wearing stockings when none were available due to rationing during WW-II? A. Suntan. B. Leg painting. C. Wearing slacks.'
"I answered B, because it made the most sense, not because I knew, having been born after WW II. The answer was: 'B. Special makeup was applied, followed by drawing a seam down the back of the leg with eyebrow pencil.'
"Later in the afternoon, when the rain drove me inside, I picked up 'P is for Peril' by Sue Grafton. On Page 137, I read the following: 'I watched her legs flashing in front of me as she mounted the steps. She wore stockings with seams. With her affinity for the '40s, I was surprised she didn't draw a line down the back of each bare leg the way women did during World War II rationing.'
"As soon as I read it, a light went on. My first B-M?"
BULLETIN BOARD RULES: A B-M, for certain. Only you can say if it's your first!
What's in a name?
Commercial Division
Blondie of Blaine: "I noticed a pickup truck parked outside my place of employment (a hospital, no less) with the name THREE FINGERS SAWMILL in big letters on each side. I'm curious as to how the company got its name; maybe it says it all right there."
Pranks for the memories
Nana of the North: "I had a customer who told me the funniest story about a group of guys who went hunting:
"One of the guys did all of the cooking, and was great at it. But the bragging about how good he was drove the other guys nuts. So on their next hunting trip, they thought they'd take care of that.
"The guy who cooked always brought his smoker and would make all kinds of roasts and turkeys in it. On this trip, he had told all of them he was going to smoke a turkey. He was going to marinate it in Coke and brown sugar for a few days before they left.
"One of the guys had a bright idea: He had his wife buy a Cornish game hen to bring along on the trip. The cook put the turkey in the smoker; it was going to take the whole night to smoke it. After the cook went to bed in his camper, the guy with the Cornish game hen sneaked out to the smoker and switched the turkey with the little game hen. He had also brought his smoker and hid it in the woods, to smoke the 'real turkey.'
"The cook went out in the middle of the night to put more charcoal in the smoker, and because it was so dark, he didn't look at the turkey.
"The next day, everyone was complaining about the horrible smell of something burning. The cook quickly went to the smoker. He took off the lid, and there was this little burned-up Cornish game hen. Everyone just busted out laughing, and the real turkey was cooked to perfection.
"The cook never bragged again, and always looked at the food he was smoking – no matter how dark it was outside."

London Higher Europe successfully organised event on Future Proof Food
The event which took place on the 5th of February at the offices of London's European Office in Brussels gathered around 40 participants for a discussion around Future Proof Food: putting less in, getting more out – supply chain partnerships & the holistic approach to food sustainability.
Presentations and the panel tackled questions such as how can we use fewer resources in making our food and how can we diversify production to alternative and healthy sources of nutrition. The event aimed to bring together policy, research and practice in these fields in a discussion with speakers from London Universities, the European Commission and the food industry.
Two panel discussions were organised. The first one focussed on Putting less in: reducing the costs of food provision. What are the recent trends in resource-efficient and eco-innovative food production and processing? What challenges still remain and how can we address them?
The second panel was looking at how developments are likely to impact on wider aspects of the food we consume, from security to cultural preference, in developed and developing economies and in terms of health, sustainability and equality.
Speakers included Ian Holmes, Horizon 2020 National Contact Point (UK): Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry, Blue Growth and the Bioeconomy, Wim Debeuckelaere, Head of Sector Food Improvement Agents, DG SANTÉ, Anne-Katrin Bock, Joint Research Centre, European Commission, Dr Valentina Stojceska, Lecturer in Energy in Food Chains, Brunel University London, Susana Soares and Andrew Forkes, Lecturers in Department of Engineering & Design, London South Bank University.
