Without asking anybody Alex got himself some basic music production software and started writing and creating tracks on his home pc. For almost a year this remained unknown to his parents but when his father has heard Alex's music he started teaching him. When Alex was 13 he started working in the studio built specially for him. Days and nights he spent learning and expanding his knowledge, skipping school and the "normal" teenager life. Alex is absolutely in love with music, that's what he's doing all his life.
The clients featured in his portfolio feature some of the biggest names in the Russian music business. He is truly a prodigy.

Consumer Alert: Dangerous Pesticide Found in Many Wines
These days it's harder than ever to find foods that are free of herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals. And unfortunately, chemicals can wind up in our fruit-based beverages, too, including wine. (Remember a few years ago when high levels of pesticide residues were found in many French wines?)
In fact, based on the results of a recent analysis, even organic wines may contain dangerous chemicals — in this case, contaminated with glyphosate.
Why Probiotics Fail Most of the Time
If you suffer from digestive issues like gas, bloating, cramps, or occasional constipation or diarrhea, you're certainly not alone. There are millions of Americans just like you.
Even if your digestive system performed like clockwork when you were younger, it is not uncommon to find these issues becoming more frequent as you age. And today I'm revealing the targeted "extra-strength" solution your system may be begging for.
What is Glyphosate?
Glyphosate is the most widely used agricultural chemical in history. It appears in about 700 different herbicides, and is the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, which is the most popular compound of its kind. Although it is highly prevalent, glyphosate is far from safe for human consumption.
In fact, recent research has revealed that the chemical compound promotes antibiotic resistance, as it is actually patented as an antibiotic, and therefore designed to kill bacteria. As a result it may cause chronic, uncontrolled inflammation in the digestive system, impairing the production of beneficial bacteria and promoting the spread of bad or pathogenic bacteria.
Moreover, glyphosate is considered to be a probable human carcinogen and may become even more dangerous when paired with other compounds in herbicides. While more research is needed to uncover the true degree of the health risks that it poses, it's safe to say that it's not a chemical people want to be ingesting.
What Did the Analysis Find?
The analysis was funded by an anonymous support of Moms Across America, who sent 10 wine samples from California vineyards to be tested for glyphosate. Shockingly, all 10 of the samples tested positive, including organic wines, although they contained significantly lower levels of the toxin.
The analysis detected the highest level of glyphosate (18.74 parts per billion (ppb)) in a 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from a conventional vineyard; a rate that was 28 times higher than some of the other samples tested. The lowest level of 0.659 ppb was detected in a 2013 Syrah that was produced by a biodynamic and organic vineyard.
So while the levels of glyphosate were much lower in the organic wines, it was still present in every sample tested. (As an aside, it's worth noting that glyphosate has been detected in beer previously as well, including in an analysis of the 14 best-selling German beers that was performed by the Munich Environmental Institute.)
How Does Glyphosate Enter Wine?
Even when plants are not directly sprayed with pesticides, they still have the potential to wind up inside. In the case of wine, glyphosate is often sprayed on the ground along the perimeter of grape vines.
While the chemicals would kill the grape vines if sprayed directly on them, they can be used in this fashion to form a strip around the outside of the vineyard. Therefore, even though glyphosate is not used directly on the vines, this dangerous chemical is close enough to contaminate them anyway.
In the case of organic wines, it is most likely that the contamination occurs when the chemicals spread from nearby conventional vineyards. Moreover, glyphosate may remain in the soil for over 20 years, meaning that land that once used chemicals but is now organic could be contaminated as well.
How to Limit Your Exposure
Generally speaking, consuming organic foods and beverages as often as possible is your best protection against unwanted herbicide and pesticide exposure, but for now it may be best to opt for a wine from another region altogether, such as Chile or Italy.
In addition, it is more important than ever to remain a conscientious consumer and stay up to date on different health risks that may be present in foods. Awareness of these issues, and speaking out against the widespread use of herbicides and pesticides, can help you limit your exposure and reduce the use of these products in our country. Choose carefully when selecting your next bottle of wine, and know that organic wines are typically much healthier, but recognize that it may be impossible to eliminate all risk.

My 40 before 40… zombie edition
My friends will probably remember my 40 before 40 list. Well I missed my target date and it made me feel like a failure so I just quietly unpublished the page. A friend inspired me to continue working on the list so I'm bringing it back. Let's call it the zombie edition.
There are some really super hard things on the list… the fitness and financial goals especially.
I've updated the official list and stuck the link at the top of the page. Thanks for the inspiration E.

I spent the morning with our pastoral team. It was our first focused planning session since last spring. We looked at our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It was an interesting exercise.
I think we're still in the transition phase. We're near the end but we're not quite through it. Between 2008 and 2013 we've said goodbye to 3 longstanding, veteran pastors. That kind of quick turnover after so many years of consistent leadership takes it toll on a congregation and staff.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed. But I try not to dwell there. Instead, I think about the things/people I'm thankful for.
Today, I'm thankful for Jesus and the scriptures. I'm thankful for my wife and kids. I'm thankful for the staff team. And I'm thankful for the frogs I can hear croaking in the pond not too far away.

A superstructure block of a very large crude carrier (VLCC) being built by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) slipped from a barge and sank on September 15, while underway in Ulsan waters, Yonhap reports.
As informed, the huge block was underway toward HHI's manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea, when it fell into the water.
Yonhap said that the structure in question is in fact the deckhouse of the vessel, spanning 60 meters in length, 21 meters in width and 38 meters in height, and weighing 917 tons.
The structure was being transported on a 3,680-tonne barge, towed by a tugboat toward HHI's Ulsan yard.
There were four people on board the tugboat and one on board the barge when the incident occurred, fortunately, they are all reported to be safe.
Hyundai Heavy Industries plans to send a diver to the site to assess the situation of the mega block, before moving ahead with the salvage plan, Yonhap added.
The cause of the sinking is under investigation.

AST 1459 - False God Grade, Seven Moon Chaser Boots, The Calm Before The Storm
There were nine open slots for fusion on Qing Shui' Nine Continents Boots, but now Qing Shui had only fused fifth-grade gemstones into it. The Nine Continents Boots had increased much of Qing Shui's speed, he would even fuse first-grade gemstones into it although it wouldn't increase his speed. For third-grade stones it would increase his speed by 10% and only up till fifth-grade stones would his speed increased by a fold.
Increasing speed by a fold was extremely terrifying, as the original Nine Continents Boots had already increased his speed by five times, it meant that his speed could receive a 6x boost. This is why the speed of Qing Shui was much faster than those who had a greater strength than him.
Although there were many gems available for fusion, but the probability of failing was very high for higher-graded gemstones. This was especially true for the fifth level, and the sixth level had never succeeded.
The rare materials in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal were considered plentiful as well, a lot of Kong Clan's treasures had been collected by him after all in the Interspatial Silk Sachets that belonged to his enemies. There were many rare materials inside, which were the best among the forging materials.
Seven Stars Glaze Stone!
This was the materials used by Qing Shui for forging the women's boots, and Qing Shui wanted to forge the Seven Moon Chaser Boots.
He is still considered pretty skillful. Basically, he will forge something in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal each time he enters the realm. He will also do some studies as he had an enormous expectation for the Ancient Art of Forging.
The process of forging was dull since they were ordinary materials that Qing Shui had familiarized himself with. The thought of making a pair of boots for Tantai Lingyan was not a new idea for Qing Shui, he had this thought a long time ago. However, now that she has the Goddess Divine Set, Qing Shui was in a dilemma.
Upon recalling, Qing Shui stopped.He had forgotten this matter. After a moment, he decided to continue forging, whether she is going to use it or not was still unknown, even if she is not going to use it there will still be someone who can use it.
Perhaps the thought of Tantai Lingyan not using it had made Qing Shui felt relaxed while forging it, he was not afraid of failing, which made the forging process surprising smooth.
Time had passed bit by bit, the time and energy spent for forging such boots were enormous. The time taken might not be long, but a week of time was needed, and the process was generally not affected by the slightest disturbance.
Gradually, Qing Shui's state of mind became the State of No Conscious, the distractions were all put aside. Forging was like an enjoyment, it was a pleasure of creating, it was a sense of accomplishment.
A crisp sound had appeared together with bright colorful lights as the forging was completed.
Gazing at the beautiful boots, there was a white glow on it, very pure and clean, emitting a faint vitality.
False God Grade!
Qing Shui was dumbfounded when he saw this. Everything has its own grade, for example, Qing Shui's Golden Battle Halberd is considered as divine grade, and Princess Chang's Yang Sword is at legendary grade.
Generally, legendary grade meant powerful weapons and there was only a small probability for Qing Shui to forge legendary grade of equipments. However, there is still a grade in between the legendary grade and divine grade.. That, was the False God Grade.
It was an unexpected surprise that he can actually forge something which was at the False God Grade.
New effects: Speed was increased by four times, the consumption was reduced by four times, the attack speed was doubled up together with the effect of dodging.
Dodging skill: the probability of dodging the enemies' attacks was doubled up, it was a passive ability with zero consumption.
False God Effect: Able to form complete set with other equipments.
These two abilities was really so powerful, that it made even Qing Shui jealous. Doubling up of the probability of dodging, it is indeed too awesome to be true.
The last one made Qing Shui even more surprised, False God Grade items can complement any other equipment, forming a complete set, this ability was way too shameless.
It was nice to be able to be equipped, but Qing Shui still had no idea on the ability of the boots of Tantai Lingyan's Goddess Divine Set. Since it was a divine grade object, it was clear that it will not be any weaker than the Seven Moon Chaser Boots, but it did not seem to be any better as well
The Seven Moon Chaser Boots was considered the best among the False God Grade equipments, it did not seem to be any inferior if compared to the Divine grade objects, some low tier among the Divine grade might not be better than this Seven Moon Chaser Boots.
Qing Shui did not put this matter on his mind, because Qing Shui felt that the probability of upgrading the boots in the Goddess Divine Set was small, and hence he decided not to mention it.
Time flow by peacefully. Half a year had passed, and for this half a year, Qing Shui stayed in the Demon Lord Palace. He went out with Tantai Lingyan for several times, they had exterminated the forces which previously attacked the Demon Lord Palace completely. Basically, there were no more the people from Soaring Dragon Organisation in the current dynasty's territory.
Half year time was not considered short for Qing Shui, it was a long time for him. Qing Shui had almost done studying the Battle God Halo, he was now proficient with it, and his power had increased a lot. He had also refined the strength of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant, but unfortunately, it was not much.
The strength of Tantai Lingyan had increased a lot too, they had the upgraded Yang Pills, but Five-Yang Pill and those medical pills that are better than Five-Yang Pills, had not been refined yet.
Also, Qing Shui's strength was probably increased by five million sun. It will naturally increased if he spent time in his realm. The increment of five million sun was powerful, it can be said to be terrifying, but no one knew the actual reason behind this.
There was some improvement in Nine Stances of Ancient Divine Battle Technique as well although the progress was slow. However, it had clearly grown stronger than before and the current Nine Stances of Ancient Divine Battle Technique can be considered Qing Shui's real battle technique.
It reached the realm of minor perfection and he could used it as he will, just like his own hands. When he activated the skill, the feeling was like moving clouds and flowing water, he can command it at will.
During the half year of time, Yan Zhongyue and the others were also practising. He had a strength which was about the same level as Qing Shui, but his combat prowess wasn't as good as Qing Shui. Despite so, it was still considered terrifying after all as his physique was better than average.
Today was the day for Qing Shui to go to the Royal Palace to have meals with Old Man Lu and the others. They will be having meals together at least once a month to have a discussion.
Within this half year time, Tantai Lingyan was still calm, Qing Shui had never seen her having any mood swings. He had always wanted to make her smile more, but it was not that effective. However despite so, the relationship between the two of them had become better, and this was better than nothing.
The banquet was luxurious, Old Man Lu was happy. Yan Zhongyue looked at Qing Shui and then those three children, he felt a little complicated, but he became happy after a short while.
He was in debt with Qing Shui, he had no choice. However, fortunately, this child of his was the best thing that happened to him, Yan Zhongyue had everything that he had now was because of Qing Shui and if Qing Shui didn't exist, his outcome would be unimaginable. Even his own body will be owned by others, this was a life worse than death.
However, things changed because of Qing Shui, there was still a huge turning point for him. Not only had he regained his memory and found himself back, he also renewed ties with his family... Even if he dies he would never let that old monster to get what he wants.
"There are news saying that he is coming here soon, they have two powerful experts. They want to capture Zhongyue and kill all of us and make the three dynasties disappear."
Yan Zhongyue had a different name before this, he recently changed his name back.
Not only his name changed, the child's surname was also changed recently.
Are they coming? Previously Qing Shui always wanted them to come quickly, but when he heard that they were coming, he felt nervous, although only for a bit.
"Since they are coming, we should leave them buried here forever. Don't worry, the people who are coming this time are not that powerful, as long as Qing Shui weakened their strength and increase ours, there should be no problem. My strength has also improved over time." said Old Man Lu.
Qing Shui felt relaxed when Old Man Lu was around. He would be worried if Old Man Lu was not here as many things needed to be considered. However, it was a different case, as long as he convinced Old Man Lu to give his full strength, and assisted him from the side, they could kill their opponents in a second if they were lucky enough since they can make a sudden attack.
"Old Man Lu, when will they arrive?" asked Qing Shui while looking at Old Man Lu.
"Around a week time, there are not much people coming, but none of them are weaker than me so we are still in danger," said Old Man Lu. He thought that Qing Shui was the only one who can help the most among them, the outcome of the battle will be depending on Qing Shui.
"What is the probability for us to win? Are you confident?" asked Qing Shui while smiling at Old Man Lu.
"If your abilities are effective, we still have a chance to win. If there are still some trump cards you are hiding, then our chance of winning will be increased by ten percent. Regardless of how low our chances of winning are, there's definitely still a chance to. " said Old Man Lu firmly.
Tantai Lingyan and the others didn't speak. Although it looked relaxed to chat, everyone felt stressed. Some of their opponents might be more powerful than Old Man Lu, and perhaps they would all die in that battle.
"Don't worry about my abilities, I will give you a surprise, so it seems like we do have hope," said Qing Shui while smiling, Old Man Lu still did not know about the effect of Battle God Halo.
"This Battle God Halo is special, it should only be obtained with the inheritance of the Golden Battle God, but it was not as powerful as this."
"Since the battle halo is more powerful than expected, I feel assured and I am looking forward to their arrival now," said Old Man Lu excitedly.
Qing Shui was speechless. Old Man Lu was also craving for battle, he was at a high spirit for battle and he felt confident for the battle.
Qing Shui felt like he should start preparing something after he was back to the Demon Lord Palace, The threat of this battle was huge and he cannot place all his hope on Old Man Lu.

A mine cannot function without monitoring systems: environmental, basic mining machinery and equipment. The exploitation of ore in the mine depends heavily on properly functioning machines and mining equipment, and acceptable for the miner technical environmental conditions occurring in underground excavations. The monitoring systems of the technical environment in underground mines are primarily telemetry and gasometry systems. The first part of the article shows the typical structure of gasometry systems operating in the Polish underground mines. The existing provisions include the so-called security systems of the mining plant. The article presents a quantitative summary of the telephone exchange types and count of main telecommunication lines operating in these systems. Monitoring systems of machines and mining equipment are an essential element of the effec-tive management of the mine, because they affect the safe operation and increase time of effi-ciency equipment. The second part of the article shows selected monitoring systems of mining machinery and equipment currently used in the dispatcher rooms of mines. Attention was paid to the monitoring systems, which are only software tools as well as those in which additionally use dedicated IT solutions for these systems, hardware and measuring tools. The table shows the types of monitoring systems and technological configurations used in underground mines, preferred for them.

In the breeding season 1988/89, within the region of SSSI No. 8, nesting of 12 species of birds was observed. The highest number of nests — 24430 — belonged to three species of pygoscelid penguins; 77.1% were the Adelie penguin. Relatively high fluctuations in the number of penguins in some rookeries in particular breeding seasons were confirmed. During regular countings of mammals' in 1988 the presence of 5 species of Pinnipedia was noted, of which the southern elephant seal was most numerous in the summer season, whereas crabeater seal — in winter. In the region of SSSI No. 8, breeding of southern elephant seal and Weddell seal was observed. Fluctuations in the number of seals in this region in the period 1977—1988 were insignificant.

In 1989/90, in the region of SSSI 8 situated on King George Island 21 bird species were observed, 12 species were breeding. Dominants were 3 Pygoscelis species (19229 pairs). Five species of pinnipedians were noticed. Mirounga leonina was most abundant in January (623 individuals), Arctocephalus gazella — in February and March (890 individuals), Hydrurga leptonyx in October (39 individuals). The abundance of Leptonychotes weddelli was low and rather stable. As a result of mild winter during the study period such birds as Sterna vittata and Pygoscelis adeliae stayed near their breeding places. The scarcity of Lobodon carcinophagus was probably also a result of this mild winter.

Since the 1970s, the Legnica-Głogów Copper District has an area of intensive mining of copper. Mining activities resulted in the appearance of induced seismic activity. This situation caused the necessity of setting an underground seismological network. In the mid-1990s, due to the great damage of objects on the surface caused by the ground vibrations due to mining tremors, a surface strong motion seismic network equipped with accelerometers was created. They monitor the vibration levels of both the land and the buildings themselves. This contributed to a better knowledge of the nature of ground vibration and the resistance of objects. In recent years, anthropogenic threats, which include seismicity induced by mining activities, are arousing more and more interest. To be able to develop test methods for seismic source physics, the analysis of the impact of vibrations on the surface and the seismic hazard, network measurement should also be developed and modernized. In the years 2014–2015, the IS-EPOS "Digital research space of induced seismicity for EPOS purposes" project, extended the LUMINEOS modern seismological network presently consisting of 15 seismometers and 10 accelerometers, with the possibility of additional further expansion. The data obtained from the LUMINEOS network complements the existing underground mining network and surface strong motion network. This allows for an advanced seismic analysis.

The paper presents the results of seven-year survey of Antarctic seals along the western shore of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetland Islands. Five species were monitored during seven of the eight years, between 1988-95, excluding 1993. Numbers of elephant seals and Antarctic fur seals showed strong annual cycles, fur seals with two seasonal peaks. These of the other three species were more irregular. Fewer Weddell seals were seen in 1994 and 1995 then during the period 1988-92; with this exception, no overall trend in numbers was apparent during the period 1988-95.

The assessment of a rock's behaviour around excavations and the effectiveness of its reinforcement in underground ore mines is dependent on the performance of the rock-bolt and rock-mass interaction, which can be estimated on the basis of appropriately designed measurements. Based on the background of various measurements solutions described in the literature, concerning rock bolt monitoring methods, the authors proposed a new, original device for mass measurements in mine conditions. After examining the advantages and disadvantages of existing constructions, the article presents the essence, principle of operation and method of measuring anchor load in an underground excavation with the a instrument, indicator WK-2/8. The prototype has been carefully researched and successfully tested in a full-scale laboratory environment. This instrument, also referred to as a load indicator or force pad, does not require electrical power and allows for relatively accurate (with a resolution of 10-14kN, up to about 90kN loading capacity) and a remote reading of the axle loading of the anchor (AGH patent) by any person present in the specified area. The device can be installed in mining excavations under loading conditions. The relatively low cost of a measuring instrument, practically used as an additional washer, as well as an easy assembly method, makes it universally applicable in mines where anchoring is used as a means of strengthening the rock.

The utilization of mining waste is an important problem in Poland and Ukraine. The article presents one of the variants of waste mining in the quarry in Płaza. An analysis of the resource base of the deposit and their location at the area of Płaza deposit is carried out. The Płaza deposit is located in the western part of the Małopolskie province, in the entire Chrzanów commune. The Płaza deposit is constructed of Middle Triassic carbonates represented by the limestone-dolomite Olkusz Formation and the limestone-marlized Gogolin Formation. The deposit series lies on the dolomites of Röt age (Lower Triassic – Olenekian). The most valuable raw material was the pure limestone from the lower part of the Olkusz Formation, now almost completely exploited. The article presents the current state of mineable reserves of the deposit and their quality (chemical and physical characteristics). Moreover the article shows potential consumers of raw material and the possibility of extending the life of the mine work. According to the results of the environmental monitoring the ground and hydrogeological conditions were evaluated, the results of which allowed a more efficient use of the existing quarry area for mining waste disposal to be proposed. The paper presents a conceptual waste transport scheme, planned distribution and compaction of wastes belonging to the first, second and third group and then a surface reclamation. In view of the absence of similar decisions analogs, the consideration of the open-pit as a one solid geomechanical system functioning under the conditions of uncertainty is suggested. In order to examine the dynamics of the waste compaction process, some measures are foreseen to constantly observe their subsidence. The proposed measures for the synchronous disposal of mining waste in the worked-out area of the open-pit and the simultaneous mining operation in the quarry will allow the life cycle of the open-pit to be prolonged for 15–20 years.

This paper describes the concept of controlling the advancement speed of the shearer, the objective of which is to eliminate switching the devices off to the devices in the longwall and in the adjacent galleries. This is connected with the threshold limit value of 2% for the methane concentration in the air stream flowing out from the longwall heading, or 1% methane in the air flowing to the longwall. Equations were formulated which represent the emission of methane from the mined body of coal in the longwall and from the winnings on the conveyors in order to develop the numerical procedures enabling a computer simulation of the mining process with a longwall shearer and haulage of the winnings. The distribution model of air, methane and firedamp, and the model of the goaf and a methanometry method which already exist in the Ventgraph-Plus programme, and the model of the methane emission from the mined longwall body of coal, together with the model of the methane emission from the winnings on conveyors and the model of the logic circuit to calculate the required advancement speed of the shearer together all form a set that enables simulations of the control used for a longwall shearer in the mining process. This simulation provides a means for making a comparison of the output of the mining in the case of work using a control system for the speed advancement of the shearer and the mining performance without this circuit in a situation when switching the devices off occurs as a consequence of exceeding the 2% threshold limit value of the methane concentration. The algorithm to control a shearer developed for a computer simulation considers a simpler case, where the logic circuit only employs the methane concentration signal from a methane detector situated in the longwall gallery close to the longwall outlet.

Balanced distribution of air in coal-fired boiler is one of the most important factors in the combustion process and is strongly connected to the overall system efficiency. Reliable and continuous information about combustion airflow and fuel rate is essential for achieving optimal stoichiometric ratio as well as efficient and safe operation of a boiler. Imbalances in air distribution result in reduced boiler efficiency, increased gas pollutant emission and operating problems, such as corrosion, slagging or fouling. Monitoring of air flow trends in boiler is an effective method for further analysis and can help to appoint important dependences and start optimization actions. Accurate real-time monitoring of the air distribution in boiler can bring economical, environmental and operational benefits. The paper presents a novel concept for online monitoring system of air distribution in coal-fired boiler based on real-time numerical calculations. The proposed mathematical model allows for identification of mass flow rates of secondary air to individual burners and to overfire air (OFA) nozzles. Numerical models of air and flue gas system were developed using software for power plant simulation. The correctness of the developed model was verified and validated with the reference measurement values. The presented numerical model for real-time monitoring of air distribution is capable of giving continuous determination of the complete air flows based on available digital communication system (DCS) data.

This paper presents mathematical models enabling the calculation of the distribution and patterns of methane inflow to the air stream in a longwall seam being exploited and spoil on a longwall conveyor, taking into account the variability of shearer and conveyor operation and simulation results of the mining team using the Ventgraph-Plus software. In the research, an experiment was employed to observe changes in air parameters, in particular air velocity and methane concentration in the Cw-4 longwall area in seam 364/2 at KWK Budryk, during different phases of shearer operation in the area of the mining wall in methane hazard conditions. Presented is the method of data recording during the experiment which included records from the mine's system for automatic gasometry, records from a wireless system of eight methane sensors installed in the end part of the longwall and additionally from nine methane anemometers located across the longwall on a grid. Synchronous data records obtained from these three independent sources were compared against the recording the operating condition of the shearer and haulage machines at the longwall in various phases of their operation (cleaning, cutting). The results of the multipoint system measurements made it possible to determine the volume of air and methane flow across the longwall working, and, consequently, to calculate the correction coefficients for determining the volume of air and methane from measurements of local air velocity and methane concentration. An attempt was made to determine the methane inflow from a unit of the longwall body area and the unit of spoil length on conveyors depending on the mining rate. The Cw-4 longwall ventilation was simulated using the data measured and calculated from measurements and the simulation results were discussed.

The need for effective and rational use of land, protection, and preservation of its qualitative state (as the agricultural land soil) is due to some negative details, namely, more than a third of the land is eroded, half of which are black soil in particular, which have an average level of nutrient supply, a lot of contaminated abandoned or overdented land. The acuteness of this problem, which has developed with regard to the protection and preservation of the land qualitative state, has become particularly relevant. The solution to this problem requires truly effective methods of influence. One of such methods is the surveillance of ecological and economic monitoring of land. The article analyzes the ecological and economic factors and factors influencing the monitoring and surveillance of land in Ukraine. Perspectives and objectives for improvements in land monitoring are highlighted. The paper discloses a theoretical synthesis and new approaches to solving the problem of environmental management, which can participate in the development of innovative economic and environmental factors of rational land use, which will contribute to enhancing the transition of Ukraine to the model of sustainable land use. The purpose of this work is a scientific analysis of the various organizational factors of monitoring and surveillance of agricultural land in relation to the current legislation in Ukraine.

Biodiversity conservation cannot operate in Central Eastern European countries without a well-established monitoring system, that is dependent on the citizen scientists input. Here we analyse, based on a Polish case: (1) The contribution of NGOs to the national nature monitoring scheme and their collaboration with governmental and scientific institutions and (2) the motivation of citizen scientists to volunteer for NGOs' monitoring activities. The study comprises a focus group interview, 30 in-depth interviews with coordinators, citizen scientists, experts and a 23 days long participant observation of a model NGO. We have assessed the monitoring input of NGOs as being a contributory factor influencing the biodiversity conservation effectiveness. The cooperation between governmental, scientific institutions and NGOs exists, but is dependent on national funding. Although NGOs highlight the lack of coherence in monitoring methodology, they are willing to join the biodiversity monitoring, especially at the European Ecological Network – Natura 2000 sites. On the other hand the trust concerning cooperation with citizen scientists is limited. However, despite this, they still turned out to be trustworthy partners. The most effective way to maintain cooperation with citizen scientists is to create a bond in a group and to provide them with the opportunity to develop their passion for nature. Our findings have shed light on the growing importance of citizen scientists in biodiversity governance, providing recommendations for development of the effective monitoring schemes based on the volunteer work of citizen scientists.

The major downside of blasting works is blast vibrations. Extensive research has been done on the subject and many predictors, estimating Peak Particle Velocity (PPV), were published till date. However, they are either site specific or global (unified model regardless of geology) and can give more of a guideline than exact data to use. Moreover, the model itself among other factors highly depends on positioning of vibration monitoring instruments. When fitting of experimental data with best fit curve and 95% confidence line, the equation is valid only for the scaled distance (SD) range used for fitting. Extrapolation outside of this range gives erroneous results. Therefore, using the specific prediction model, to predetermine optimal positioning of vibration monitoring instruments has been verified to be crucial. The results show that vibration monitoring instruments positioned at a predetermined distance from the source of the blast give more reliable data for further calculations than those positioned outside of a calculated range.

The condition monitoring techniques like acoustic emission, vibration analysis, and infrared thermography, used for the failure diagnosis of bearings, require longer processing time, as they have to perform acoustical measurement followed by signal processing and further analysis using special software. However, for any bearing, its period of usage can be easily determined within an hour, by measuring the bearing sound, using sound level meter (SLM). In this paper the acoustical analysis of the spindle bearing of a radial drilling machine was performed using SLM, by measuring the sound pressure level of the bearing in decibels, for different frequencies, while muting all the other noises. Then using an experimental set up, two database readings were taken, one for new bearing and the other for completely damaged bearing, both are SKF6207, which itself is the spindle bearing. From these three sets of sound pressure level readings, the period of usage of the spindle bearing, was calculated using an interpolation equation, by substituting the life of the bearing from the manufacturer's catalogue. Therefore, for any machine with a SKF6207 bearing, its usage time can be estimated using the database readings and one measurement on that machine, all with the same speed.

The paper analyzes the monthly day equivalent levels, Lday (06–22 h) and night equivalent levels, Lnight (22–06 h) values observed in year 2015 and 2016 for the 70 locations whereby continuous noise monitoring is conducted under the National Ambient Noise Monitoring Network (NANMN). The study exclusively analyzes the ambient noise data acquired for 25 locations in commercial zone, 12 in industrial, 16 in residential and 17 in silence zones. The analysis of (Lday–Lnight) for 70 locations under observations reveals that 10 dB night time adjustment in day-night average sound level descriptor is not appropriate in such a scenario and as such it is recommended to use day-night average sound level and day-eveningnight average sound level descriptors without any 10 dB night time adjustment or 5 dB evening time adjustments. The analysis and conclusions of the present study shall be very useful for developing single value noise descriptor correlating the noise annoyance and health effects in Indian perspectives.

Although automated scanners and boilerplate examinations can be useful tools in determining a network's susceptibility to certain types of published security exploits, these approaches have serious limitations. They tend to focus on producing long lists of perceived vulnerabilities without helping an IT team improve its organization's overall security posture, and they often overlook important avenues of attack.In real life, the most devastating and difficult-to-counter security risks arise from subtle combinations of attacks, or from a given network's unique circumstances. Finding such flaws is technically complex, so they are unlikely to be uncovered by the checks associated with any rote procedure.To learn more download this whitepaper.

Some Pharisees converted to Christ, and they even came to accept the fact that Gentiles could be with them in the church, but Luke revealed this,
"But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, 'It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses'" (Acts 15:5).
These Pharisees did not yet understand the relationship between the Law of Moses, circumcision, and Christ. Believing these things, circumcision in particular, still applied, they urged Gentiles to do them. This caused a great debate and eventually a delegation was sent to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders there to determine the matter.
While truth still prevails from the Law of Moses, how to carry out that truth has not prevailed, and that is why we can read in the New Testament of apostles quoting the Law of Moses to love God, for example, but that we do not show loving God by keeping circumcision.

StompLight, World's First Stage Lighting Effect Pedal, to Debut at Summer NAMM
StompLight, the first fully self-contained sound-responsive stage lighting effect pedal, will make its debut at Summer NAMM 2016.
From the company:
A new concept, an effect pedal with built in LED stage lighting, from Californian inventor and musician Michael Ahern aims to revolutionize stage lighting for amateur and pro musicians alike.
StompLight is a fully self-contained and remarkably powerful sound responsive performance lighting solution that sets up in seconds. Designed for solo performers, electric and acoustic guitarists, bar bands, DJ's or any performance setting looking for minimalist stage set-up. StompLight creates dozens of colorful lighting effects at the click of a button. StompLight can be part of a musician's pedal board, set on the floor or attached to a microphone stand.
StompLight's effects include a sound responsive Color Organ, Color Wheel, and a Strobe light. The StompLight Professional model also houses a built-in microphone with adjustable input gain and spectrum analyzer capable of producing lighting effects synched to the performer's instrument or the ambient music.
StompLight offers variable brightness, connectivity for expanding the light show using multiple units or the new StompLight Slave or StompLight Mini. A DMX adapter is available for integrating StompLight with DMX lighting systems. StompLight also offers off-the-grid capability via a small rechargeable battery pack.
"The concept is very simple," explained Ahern. "Think of all the places where performers rehearse, record and perform without existing stage lighting. Unlike other products on the market today StompLight has a tiny footprint and sets up in seconds to create an exciting, artist controllable light-show in a simple, durable and affordable way."
"Social media plays a big role in promoting artists and more and more video and imagery of live performances are being posted", Ahern continued. "Our products offer the simplest way an artist can look professional anywhere they play."
"Our product goal is to change the way that artists and musicians perform, rehearse and record music", Ahern continued. "StompLight democratizes stage lighting offering musicians, DJs and theatrical performers exciting simple to use lighting with the convenience of a single effects pedal."
The latest version of the StompLight Professional and newly expanded StompLight product line will be available for a test drive at this year's Summer NAMM show in Nashville. Booth 1631.

"I don't remember what I said, but it worked," he said.
The company called him back for about five minutes of follow-up questions that day, and about a week later he was offered the job.
The start of Semester Two led to a change in some mentor timetables meaning mentoring time slots were swapped and mentors took up extra mentoring slots. Eckington, Rawmarsh & Aston Why did you become a mentor?
Jordan Troops was awarded as February's Mentor of the Month for his help in taking up extra time slots and this is how he answered his 5 Minutes, 5 Questions: What are you studying? I knew about the US in School programme before I started university, as I was a mentee on the scheme when I was in Year 10.
Any time a person's aroused, you can see in the face the cheeks are flushed, the lips are more full and the pupils will dilate." Concludes our third and final five-minute dating expert, Lisa Clampitt, executive director of the Matchmaking Institute in New York: "In the caveman era, they would assess for size and skin color. The sad fact is there are sociopaths out there, and a lot of guys (and girls) who seem like the "glossy Polaroid" of a mate but are, in reality, people who are pretending to be what you want.
We're still back in that world of assessing: Is this person friend or foe? Unless he's drunk, then, yes, your date is crazy into you and may not want you to be aware of it.
Davis, who had been a welder and was looking to change careers, said, "They wanted to know why they should hire me within 30 seconds or so." When he got to the company's offices in Salt Lake City, Utah, there were 12 other job candidates waiting for the quick why-you-should-hire-me interview spiel.
When I was accepted into the University, one of the first things I did was check if the programme was still running.
Another problem with this approach is if your starting time is 31-05-17 it will not match on lines for 01-06-17 , etc.
@Jick If an answer works for you then you should click the green tick to mark it as an accepted answer.
Note that I assume that "grepping" is intended to mean using Unix tools to filter for a desired subset of the available data.
The original error is likely due to a space between the date and time so that the examples you will get every line for a particular date, or for a particular second.

So I'm digging into the "induction phase" on Kiefer's Carb Backloading diet plan. Some of you will be grimly sympathetic already; "induction" on a ketogenic diet plan basically means "depleting all the glycogen in your body until you get fully into ketosis (and incidentally feel like shit for a week)". Yeah, lucky me. Glycogen depletion is the price I have to pay for slamming Pringles and Rockets after my workouts. At least I get to drink while I do it (fun fact: alcohol without carbs hastens and deepens ketosis, hence the "alcoholic ketoacidosis" that's freaking out your pharm-major friends when they hear about Atkins).
Keto sucks; "low-carb flu" and struggling with 60% of your max for sets of five is an enormous pain in the ass, but that's what we have to go through to earn our sushi rice and carby treats once we get to the glycogen loading phase. I have yet to find a way around that. Dieting in general sucks, because when you're in an effective state of calorie depletion you get hungry. I have found a few ways to mitigate that, and I'ma write about them here.
Intermittent fasting
Yes, to deal with hunger I suggest you skip breakfast. Yes, this is part of my ongoing jihad against meals in the morning, but hear me out and you might learn something.
First off, IFing helps you deal with ghrelin better. Ghrelin is, among other things, the "hunger hormone", and it does neat things like sharpen your awareness and make you think better. So bathing in ghrelin every morning isn't necessarily a bad thing. But from a hunger perspective, once you've come to terms with "zOMG I can't eat until noon and it's only 8:30 FFFFFUUUUUUUUU…" there's not a hell of a lot else that dieting can throw at you from an acute hunger perspective. You get really hungry around 10, deal with it for half an hour or so, and then realize that it's not such a big deal.
By far the bigger benefit of IFing, though, is that you backload your meals. On a "normal, sensible" diet, you eat a breakfast that doesn't quite satisfy; a lunch that doesn't quite satisfy; and a dinner that doesn't quite satisfy. You're always hungry, and you always have to stop eating before you're satiated. When you're IFing, though, you get to eat a big (er, "normal") lunch and a big (er, "normal") dinner, to the point where you're stretching your stomach sufficiently for it to send "stop eating, dammit" signals. IFing, you can eat to the point where you're full and want to stop, rather to a point where you know you ought to stop and can convince yourself that you'll be full-ish, kinda, relatively speaking. It's good.
Also, you can sleep in an extra half hour.
Protein shakes before meals
This is another "fucking with your satiety response" trick, which is how many diets work (until they stop working). Simple idea: About half an hour before you eat a meal, start drinking a protein shake. Give it a good 40g of protein, and while you're at it throw in a teaspoon of Metamucil and a teaspoon of some greens powder. You're probably not getting enough veggies anyway, and the fibre is good for (a) enhancing your sense of satiety and (b) giving you some truly majestic shits, especially if you do the right thing and eat veggies with all your meals. (Fibre also tends to carry off some of the kcal from your meal with it down your colon, although I'm not sure if consuming it before a meal makes this work.)
Plan some smaller meals and chug a protein shake before each. When you're on a kcal deficit you want to be taking in more protein anyway, to minimize lean tissue loss among other things, so you should be doing this anyway, but the protein shakes will increase your satiety on each of the smaller meals. And you never know, you might actually put on some muscle or something useful like that.
Ephedrine + caffeine stack
It works, bitches. Take 20mg of Ephedrine HCl and 200mg of caffeine when you get up in the morning, then again about four hours later. EC is thermogenic in general, so you should be stacking it anyway, but for the first few weeks (months? Depends) that you take it it's also a mild appetite suppressant. And seriously, stacking EC is cheaper than lentils, why would you not.
I'm told that taking L-tyrosine with EC can potentiate its appetite suppressant effects even after it's stopped being effective, and L-tyrosine seems to be well-regarded as a peri-workout stimulant anyway. If it's cheap (I haven't played with it at all, ever), go for it.
I'm going to throw out some props to my favourite nootropic ever. L-carnitine L-tartrate is fucking amazing, for me, for sheer focus. Want some extra willpower for five minutes or so? Listen to Hatebreed. Want some extra willpower for two hours or so? Pop some LCLT. I've been sticking to at most 1.5g/day to avoid developing a tolerance, and so far it's still helpful for (among other things) getting me to the gym when my fuckitometer is reading high. I think I've mentioned before that if I'd been slamming this stuff in junior high, I might've gone to MIT. Not cheap, but not out of sight pricey.
Find a diet plan you can stick to
Something like Cheat Mode, where you carb up after heavy workouts, helps a fuck of a lot because it gives you a chance to eat your face off under controlled circumstances. I ate Cheat Mode for half a year or so and probably lost about half a pound of fat per month, because I wasn't really trying. I ate a Mk. 1 mod 0 targeted ketogenic diet, lost just under a pound a week, and hated it for a month and a half because there was no real payoff. I ran Lyle's Ultimate Diet 2.0 and lost over a pound a week, and my carb-ups were fucking glorious. Right now I'm giving carb backloading a shot, with the hope of finding something somewhere in between. Try a bunch of different plans, and see what works best for you.
This is the last piece of advice from the Lyle McDonald article that sort-of inspired this one. If you're in a kcal deficit, you're probably going to get hungry. Embrace it; that means you're doing something right. Yeah, it sucks; put on some metal and get over it. Embrace the suck. Most of hunger is just habit; your body telling you "I'm used to getting a meal half an hour ago, and I don't see no meal here; what the fuck, buddy?" Give it a week and that gnawing hunger won't gnaw quite so hard. Make ghrelin your bitch.
I will also say that you shouldn't be going hardcore kcal-deficit for too long — work in a cheat meal every week or ten days, and work in a total diet break every two months or thereabouts. (Want more details? Buy Lyle McD's books; that's where I get much of my info, and I'm not about to give away his ideas for free.)
