Plans by two Australian cabinet ministers to reduce their country's greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired generating plants 27% with a new generation of "super ultra-critical" and allegedly "clean" coal-fired generation stations would do the job, an independent analysis concludes. But renewables would deliver the same results for half the price.
Australian resources minister Matthew Canavan and energy and environment minister Josh Frydenberg are proposing the new fleet of generating stations based on their promised cleaner performance, but have been silent on their likely cost.
- Concise headlines. Original content. Timely news and views from a select group of opinion leaders. Special extras.
- Everything you need, nothing you don't.
- The Weekender: The climate news you need.
"So Dylan McConnell from the Climate and Energy College at the University of Melbourne crunched the numbers," The Guardian reports. He calculated that to achieve the ministers' advertised 27% reduction in power sector emissions, Australia would need to add 20 gigawatts of new generating capacity. With the proposed "clean" coal technology feature, that would cost about A$62 billion.
By comparison, it would only take 13 to 19 GW of renewable power to achieve the same emissions reduction. That could be built out, McConnell estimated, for between A$24 to A$34 billion.
"No wonder no one wants to talk about the costs," he said.
For A$62 billion, he added, Australia could build as much as 39 GW of wind and solar energy. That output "would not completely replace coal power," in Australia, The Guardian notes, "but it would reduce its emissions by up to 65%."
Last month, French energy giant Engie SA revealed plans for a major solar procurement in Australia, while also moving to shut down its 1,500-MW Hazelwood brown coal generating station in the state of Victoria.
Neither minister responded to the paper's questions about the comparative power costs, although Frydenberg's office issued a statement committing Australia to a "technology-neutral" climate policy. "Arbitrarily excluding certain technologies for ideological reasons," it asserted, "will lead to higher cost outcomes."
The analysis "clearly shows the government is off on an economically and environmentally irresponsible frolic with their trumpeting of 'clean coal,'" responded Mark Butler, Opposition critic for climate change and energy.

I started my first dog in agility training in 1998, began competing in 2001 and became an agility instructor in 2006. The Passion to have fun with my dogs in a competitive environment has maintained my enthusiasm over the years for the game of dog agility.
After watching agility on TV and seeing how much fun the handler and the dog were having I immediately began my search for a place to train. Once I saw how exciting competing could be I packed up my little papillon and off to the trails we went.
My agility partners over the years have brought me much joy. Together, our goal of having loads of fun as well as earning some coveted Champion titles was realized beyond my wildest dreams.
My first agility dog a Papillon, Crystal, was a two time national finalists in the United States Dog Agility Association's (USDAA) Steeplechase national tournament in 2002 and 2003 and earned the title of Agility Dog Champion (ADCH) in 2004. Crystal is now waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.
Wicket, a Border Collie rescue became a five time champion; USDAA ADCH, BRONZE ADCH and PERFORMANCE DOG CHAMPION (PDCH). 34 titles overall in USDAA. AKC MACH 1 AND MACH 2.
Chance, a border collie/cattle dog mix is currently training and will soon be hitting the competitive trail.
Becoming an instructor has allowed me to share the joy of agility with others. To provide my students with the most up to date information and training I actively compete in serveral different organizations (USDAA, AKC, CPE) and attend seminars with top agility handlers and instructors.
I welcome you to CM STREEK Agility Training Center, Inc. where agility is always FUN!

Once a devotee of Bhagavan Sri Ram wanted to know who is the greatest devotee of Lord Sri Ram. During a satsang, the devotee put the question before Hanuman. Now everyone knows that Hanuman is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram but Hanuman did not want to glory himself. Therefore, he told the devotee about a big record book kept by Sri Ram having the name of his devotees.
The devotee ran to Sri Ram and asked if he could take a look at the big record book having the name of his favorite devotees.
Without hesitation, Bhagavan agreed to show the big book.
The devotee scanned the book in detail and soon found his name in it and was extremely happy.
But soon he realized that the name of Hanuman was not in the list in the book. So he read the names in the book repeatedly. But the name of Hanuman was not there in it.
The devotee returned to Hanuman and told that his name was in the book but he could not find the name of Hanuman in it.
The devotee wanted to know how Lord Ram's record book did not contain the name of his greatest devotee, Hanuman.
He thought there was some mistake in the big book.
To console the devotee, Hanuman asked whether he checked the small book of Lord Ram.
The devotee told that he never knew about a small book.
So the devotee went back to Lord Ram and requested him to have access to the small book having names of devotees.
Lord Ram reached out to an inner pocket close to his heart and removed a small diary.
The first name in that book was of Hanuman.
To a puzzled devotee Lord Ram told that the big book contained name of his ardent devotees. While the small book contained the name of devotees that he always remembered.
What more can a devotee expect that the Lord Himself remembers him constantly.
That was the greatness and humility of Hanuman.
It was the result of unwavering and unfathomable bhakti of Hanuman.

The particles enhanced the growth of new nerve fibers and helped the mice to quickly regain the partial mobility of the hind limbs. It is known that neutrophils and monocytes (immune cells) enter the zone of spinal cord injury. These cells begin to secrete pro-inflammatory compounds, leading to an increase in vascular permeability, edema formation, death of neurons, the destruction of axons myelin sheath (processes of nerve cells) and the disruption of their functioning as well.

YouTube recently celebrated its 10th birthday, and with this milestone in mind we reflected on how YouTube has become a daily part of the lives of millions of people. Communities, both small and large, explore their passions on YouTube. Car buyers check out potential purchases with in-action auto videos, gamers discover the latest games through a deep library of trailers, and new moms gain insights around parenting from both brands and mommy vloggers.
Ten years in, YouTube is a daily go-to destination for people who seek to connect with others around their passions and interests. In a recent survey of 18-34 year old millennials, YouTube was most selected as their favorite platform on which to watch online videos.1 Statistics like this show why YouTube is growing faster than it has in years—watch time is up 60% across devices, and 100% on mobile year over year.2
Viewers are also coming to YouTube specifically to watch content from brands. In fact, four of the top 10 trending videos on all of YouTube in 2014 were created by brands.3 We recently partnered with Pixability to analyze viewership and publishing trends from the Top 100 Brands as defined by the Interbrand 2014 Best Global Brands ranking.
Viewership of brand content is growing
Brands are seeing an explosion of engagement and views on YouTube. Views of branded content of the top 100 brands have nearly doubled in the last 12 months: consumers have watched their videos more than 40B times in total,4 with over 18B of those views taking place in the last year.5 And brands are building sustained relationships with their viewers on YouTube: brand channel subscriptions are up 47% year over year.6 Brands like Toyota have experienced this engagement growth firsthand:
"The benefit of a diverse platform like YouTube is they have an unparalleled ability to reach a variety of demographics," says Dionne Colvin-Lovely, Director, Traditional & New Media, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. "That aligns very well with Toyota's diverse consumer and product lineup. YouTube allows our brand's message to break through in an impactful way, and it offers great metrics to see if the content is resonating with the intended audience."
Brands are becoming more active on YouTube
Brands are now adopting similar content strategies as some of our most successful creators on YouTube. They're actively managing their YouTube channels, and publishing new content on a regular basis to engage viewers and keep them coming back. According to Pixability, the Interbrand Top 100 brands are collectively uploading a video to YouTube every 18.5 minutes.7 Also a fun fact: Thursday is the most popular day for uploads.8
In terms of content, 10% of brand videos posted to YouTube in the last year are over 10 minutes long.9 This indicates that brands are creating made-for-YouTube content, which tends to perform better than repurposed material. Brands are realizing if they have an authentic voice, they can engage people familiar with their brand and also attract new customers. Coca-Cola is also using YouTube as a platform on which to build relationships and engage consumers with unique, relevant content:
"We love the opportunity YouTube gives Coca-Cola to interact, build relationships and share stories that are authentic and relevant to the brand," said Chris Bigda, Director, Connections Planning & Investment, Coca-Cola North America. "We are seeing continued success on the platform, uploading higher quality content and achieving better results for it. We are really proud to be part of the YouTube community and excited by the partnership."
Wayfair, for example, is using YouTube to experiment with new content and reach untapped demographics:
"YouTube has become an incredibly valuable marketing tool for Wayfair by providing us with a platform to deliver new and authentic content to our customers. It's exciting to see that we're also reaching new audiences for our portfolio of brands," said Ben Young, Media Manager- Wayfair TV and Video. "Despite our success to date, it feels like we've only just scratched the surface with the YouTube platform."
Brands are investing more on YouTube
In addition to brands creating more content for YouTube, we're also seeing that brands are investing more in video ads to promote this content. The average spend of the top 100 video advertisers, as defined by media spend, is up 60%,10 and the number of advertisers investing in video ads is up 40% year over year.11 By investing in YouTube, these advertisers aren't just building their brand, they're also contributing to the YouTube ecosystem.
These first 10 years are just the beginning—we're looking forward to seeing how brands will continue to evolve and innovate on YouTube over the next 10.

Abstract: Over the last three decades, Vietnam's higher education has transited radically from an elite to a mass system. Under this circumstance, the financing system in higher education has shifted significantly, from a wholly government subsidy system to a cost-sharing mechanism. This chapter traces such an evolvement of financing polices and proposes implications for policy-makers in Vietnam.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made their first big move in free agency. Per NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the team came to terms with Cleveland Browns veteran linebacker Joe Schobert and will sign him when the new league year begins.
Per Rapoport, the deal is a five-year deal worth $53.75 million that averages $10.75 million per year. The signing bonus on the contract was $12 million and $22.5 million is guaranteed.Buy Jaguars Tickets
Schobert, 26, was a fourth-round selection for the Browns in 2016. Since joining the team, he's been quite productive for them racking up 408 combined tackles (15 of which were tackles for loss), 8.5 sacks, six interceptions, and seven forced fumbles.
The addition of Schobert is a huge one for the Jags as it means the Jags will be moving Myles Jack to outside linebacker where he is better suited to flourish. Schobert also brings a great deal of experience to the inside linebacker spot with 49 starts to his name and a Pro Bowl nod (2017).
Per Pro Football Focus, he owns the ninth-highest coverage grade over the span of the last two years, which should be a huge deal for the Jags.

According to G. D. Quirin, the capital budgeting decisions involve a current outlay for an anticipated flow of future benefits. In other words, the system of capital budgeting is employed to evaluate expenditure decisions which involve current outlays but are likely to produce benefits over a period of time longer than one year. Each year business firms commit huge sums of money for capital expenditures.
Within each firm different projects or proposals compete for the scarce funds required for their financing within the business sector as a whole. Individual firms compete among themselves for access to financing. The business sector also competes against other major claimants of available resources, individuals who wish to use a larger share of current output for consumption or for residential construction.
Non-profit organizations that wish to expand or equip universities or hospitals, government that want to build roads, sewers or submarines; other countries that want us to direct a larger share of our output to them through grants, loans and investments. The decision to select one way of investing capital rather than another is obviously an important decision for the individual film that undertake the decision and for society as a whole. The growth in per capital, standard of living depends crucially on how we capital expenditure decision are made. Thus, the investment decision process has received increasing attention both in theory and in practice.
As a result, the criteria used have become increasingly sophisticated.
Features of Capital Budgeting:
Characteristics & features of capital budgeting are: 1. Potentially large anticipated benefits. 2.
A relatively high degree of risk. 3. A relatively long period between the initial outlay and the anticipated return.
Advantages of Capital Budgeting:
As a capital budgeting decision is among the most crucial and critical business decisions, special care should be taken in their treatment. As at the first place, such decision affects the probability of firm, they have also a bearing on the competitive position of the firm.
The fixed assets are the most important as they have the long term bearing on the firm. The fixed assets represent in a sense the true earning assets of the firm. They enable the firm to generate the fixed goods that can ultimately be sold for profit. Capital budgeting decisions are the strategic investment decisions as against the technical decisions. As the capital budgeting decisions determine the future destiny of the company, a right time done investment decision can yield spectacular returns. The capital investment decisions also affect the organization over the long run and inevitability, affects the company's future cost structure. If the investment in the future turns out to be unsuccessful or yield less profit than anticipated, the firm will have to bear the burden of fixed assets. As the capital investment decisions are irreversible in nature once made, if reversible, with much financial loss to the firm.
So, these decisions are to be taken very judiciously and capital budgeting technique here helps a lot. As the capital investment decisions involve a lot of cost and majority of firms have scarce capital resources, these decisions are to be taken with utmost care and capital budgeting techniques here helps a lot.
Disadvantages of Capital Budgeting:
Drawbacks of capital budgeting are as follows: 1 All the techniques of capital budgeting presume that various investment proposals under consideration are naturally exclusive which may not practically be true in some particular circumstances. 2. The technique of capital budgeting requires estimation of future cash flows and outflows. The future is always uncertain and the data collected for future may not be exact. Obviously, the results based upon wrong data can be good. 3.
There are certain factors like morale of the employees, good-will of the firm etc.' which cannot be correctly quantified but which otherwise substantially influence the capital decision. 4. Urgency is another limitation in the evaluation of capital investment decisions. 5. Uncertainty and risk pose the biggest limitations to the techniques of capital budgeting.

"Down Under" may have been released in 1980, but it was only by 1983 that it topped charts in both the US and UK simultaneously, and ever since, it's been the definitive unofficial Australian anthem for fans all around the world.
Australian Rockers Men at Work made their mark on the world with the timeless 1980 single "Down Under." With an Aussie feel, and lyrics that compelled you to sing along, they quickly become world-famous for their distinct new wave sound.
This may be the only Men at Work song to top the charts, but it's a hit that'll never go away. It's without a doubt one of the most Australian songs around and an uptempo arrangement that's utterly addictive no matter when you're listening to it.
The amusing music video tells the story of an Australian traveling around the world, meeting a range of people all interested in his homeland. It's a strange but heartwarming sight that's sure to send you straight down memory lane.

It's been a long day. Most days are, right? At the end of the day, you might feel lucky just to have showered, exercised or gotten through the variations of bedtimes, homework, or work emergencies. You head to the bedroom and now it's time to cozy up with your partner to enjoy the connection that marriage brings, right? But what if you find no intimacy in marriage?
Maybe the thought of kissing your spouse now seems foreign, or like too much work. Or, you are certain your spouse is equally as exhausted and you both are better off sleeping rather than being intimate. Does this sound familiar?
Many couples realize somewhere along the way that the intimacy in their marriage has disappeared. Where it was once a struggle to keep your hands off of each other, now you have to give yourself a pep talk just to start thinking about being in "the mood." If you are nodding your head in agreement, rest assured you are not alone. Not being alone in this circumstance does not mean you should allow it to continue, however.
Long-term relationships go through many changes throughout the years. Intimate connection, especially the physical aspect, will ebb and flow like the tides. Although this is a normal circumstance, the complete absence of this connection is not healthy. For these couples, there is no intimacy in marriage. And, although a healthy marriage is built on a great deal more than sex, physical connection helps to create and solidify the bond that keeps a marriage strong.
Why You Lose Intimacy in Marriage
There are many reasons you and your spouse may now find no intimacy in marriage. The truth is that life is not always sexy. Building a life together can be trying and fraught with difficulties, all of which can suck the desire to be intimate right out of your lives. Finding the time and motivation to reconnect when you realize that intimacy has left your marriage gets more and more difficult. Common issues that cause disruption are:
- Exhaustion
- Stress and anxiety
- Frustration
- Children (who can bring on all of the above)
Keep in mind that it is not just you who are affected by these issues, your spouse is as well. And, they may be affected differently or by different versions of the same issue. You are in the same boat, even if it is on different ends.
Age can also bring about physical changes that can affect your visceral attraction to your spouse, or your ability to enjoy intimate life. Generally speaking, these issues can be overcome, and should be overcome if possible. Remember, love and your life together encompass more than simple physical attraction, and there are many ways to build back that intimate connection. If you allow there to be no intimacy in your marriage, a void will form. Voids create a disconnect between spouses and can lead to overall dissatisfaction within your marriage. This is one of the reasons why men cheat on their wives.
What Else Do You Lose When Intimacy is Lost?
No intimacy in marriage can be the precursor to a number of issues. When intimacy fades and that aspect of your life dissipates, you create opportunities for cracks to form. Those cracks can turn into fissures and before long what was a lack of physical intimacy becomes a loss of emotional connection. You feel removed from your spouse, comfortable maybe, but not connected on the level where marriage thrives.
Spouses commonly find themselves feeling more like roommates than partners. When you cannot connect with your spouse on more than simply managing the day-to-day routine, you start to lose the part of your relationship that brought you together in the first place. Giving in to the loss of intimacy reinforces this growing distance.
What Cultivating That Connection Provides
Sex is not just about physical pleasure. And intimacy is not just sex. Women especially have a difficult time separating the physical from the emotional. Creating an intimate experience on both levels may take extra effort, but the effort will be worth it. This will reinforce closeness rather than the distance that having no intimacy in marriage creates. The connection that you make by being that vulnerable with a person whom you love gives strength to that bond. It may require effort, but when you place yourself in the position to be that close to another you are building bonds.
Dr. Kurt sees this often in his marriage counseling. He says,
I regularly hear partners complain that there is no intimacy in their marriage. Men are almost always talking about sex when they say this. While women can mean this too, they're usually describing something more, like the emotional and verbal connection that's missing."
Again, you may be at different ends of the same boat, but finding a solution that brings you together will benefit you both.
What To Do When You Find No Intimacy in Marriage
Try. At the end of that long day, it is easy to give in to being tired. But what happens if you don't? You do not have to accept that there is no intimacy in your marriage. Try making the small effort of a touch, or a kiss, or even just laying a little bit closer. A bridge takes more than one rope to be strong, but that first rope is crucial. You may find that your efforts are well received and then matched.
Marriage can be difficult at times. Things that were effortless at the beginning will, at some point, require effort. You may feel close for a period, and then you may feel distant. Don't let the distance grow until there is no intimacy in your marriage. No one provides an instruction manual on your wedding day, but remember that navigating the ups and downs is a two-person job.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) switch vendors are interested in extending switch data planes to support new and continuously evolving network protocols (e.g., NVGRE, VXLAN). Numerous commercial programmable data plane devices already enable a programmer to specify various aspects of the data plane including packet parsing, actions, and the layout of packet processing on the hardware device itself. Unlike OpenFlow-based devices, which only expose a series of fixed match-action table (MAT) abstraction, these specialized devices provide a more flexible abstraction for packet processing. Despite the increased programmability that these devices offer, however, the architecture of the target restricts the features that can be exposed to the programmer. Similarly, existing languages for programming the data planes in such devices (e.g., P4) assume a specific computational model, resembling the architecture of the device for which they are targeted for. Unfortunately, this model leads to similar limitations as in OpenFlow, where the high-level specification is coupled to the underlying device model. In this paper, we introduce NetASM, an intermediate representation for programmable data planes. NetASM is a device-independent language that is expressive enough to act as the target language for compilers for high-level languages, yet low-level enough to be efficiently assembled on various device architectures. It enables conventional compiler optimization techniques to significantly improve the performance and resource utilization of custom packet-processing pipelines on a variety of targets.

Daniel 4:2 – "I want you all to know about the miraculous signs and wonders the Most High God has performed for me. (NLT)
I am thanking God for saving my life and that of my family members from death. We all went to bed on Sunday night; I woke up to pray from 1 am to 3 am and slept around 4 am. I was supposed to wake for my covenant prayer time, but I was very weak and slept off. The next thing I heard from my sleep was like a bomb, all the decking of our apartment have fallen, and I am covered with blood. I could not see blood everywhere, so I was rushed to the hospital (I am getting better every day), and nothing happened to my children. All thanks to God.
– Mrs F. Jude (Nigeria)
I want to thank God for the confirmation because I have been blessed with another job after searching for five years. God's time is not ours, and I give Him the glory, honour and praise for this open door. And may God bless you for obedience in His Kingdom. Amen!
– Sis. Emelda. K (South Africa).
Beloved, only God could have done these, and we return the glory to Him (Psalms 103). One thing I observed from the second testifier is that she waited on God and got her breakthrough (Psalms 27:14); likewise, God spared the life of our first testifier. Hallelujah! That is why, as many are in their 'waiting season', I am believing God that in this month, the world shall praise God with you, in Jesus' name. Be Born Again!
1. Thank God for these glorious testimonies as you receive yours.
2. Father, I am just a vessel and nothing without Your power. Please, fill me afresh and use me to Your glory.
3. Lord Jesus, let Your blood wash me and make me whole.
Kindly share your testimonies to bless others!

to talk to my mom and that I am not avoiding him.
I know for sure he wants a happy mom too!
and we ended this on a happy note!
The hardest thing sometimes is to show the true feelings. And Xavi did it. And you have courage to write about it. That is the greatest thing!ReplyDelete
So happy Xavi is learning at such an early age to express his feelings. I understand needed "me" time too and wanted to talk with you mom any chance you can! I feel that way about my dad. :) I felt that way about my mother too, when she was alive.ReplyDelete
What a great story! I am not a mom but I imagine dealing with feelings is probably one of the hardest parts. Good job working it out!ReplyDelete
Claudia, thank you for commenting! I wish the Blogger would have a "replay" or "answer" button, so we could chat about things in the right place :)) To your question how I blog, it depends on the day, mood, and the stars in the sky :) Sometimes I remember some words while I see the picture I want to capture, sometimes it's a feeling coming from inside, sometimes I add an quote to explain better the photo, sometimes I write on my own I go through my hard drive looking for reflecting picture, sometimes... It's messy, just the way I am! :))ReplyDelete

There's been a grammar bug in PMD for a while; it wouldn't parse non-static initializers that started with a reference to a field, i.e.:
This is fairly bizarre code, but it's certainly valid Java, and PMD was erroring out on it. Here's the fix:
Instead of blindly looking ahead three tokens, JavaCC's syntactic lookahead lets us look for several specific tokens and choose the parser action based on those. Fun stuff!

By Frank L. Albert
When Laos becomes chair of ASEAN and hosts President Barack Obama and other leaders at the East Asian Summit (EAS) in 2016, it will step into the world's spotlight. If Obama comes to Vientiane for the meeting, he would be the first U.S. head of state to visit Laos.
Laos's profile in Southeast Asia has become more prominent over the past several years. Today external powers compete for influence there, with Vietnam and Japan seeking to limit China's expanding presence in Laos. Thailand, South Korea, and other states also have significant stakes there. The United States' involvement in Laos has been minimal since 1975, when the communist government assumed power.
President Obama's attendance at next year's EAS would provide opportunities for Washington to diversify and broaden its engagement in Laos and with other members of the Greater Mekong sub-region, which officially includes southwestern China.
From "Landlocked" to "Landlinked"
The new connectivity in mainland Southeast Asia, coupled with ASEAN's commitment to building an economic community, has transformed Laos's geographical position from "landlocked" to "landlinked."
Laos's economy has benefited from the recently built roads, bridges, and telecommunications infrastructure in the Greater Mekong sub-region. In 2014, Laos's economy grew by more than 7 percent for the ninth consecutive year—with roughly the same growth level expected in 2015 — and Laos has become a regional player by supplying hydro-electric power to China, Thailand, and Vietnam. Two decades of significant economic growth have helped to reduce the national poverty rate in Laos to 23 percent in 2013 from 46 percent in 1992.
China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam have also taken advantage of the new physical connectivity in Laos for commercial purposes. With prospects for even wider transportation links crossing Laos in the future, competition for political influence there continues to grow, primarily among China, Japan, and Vietnam. This jockeying has not broken out openly, but strategic planners should consider it in their assessments of today's mainland Southeast Asia.
Since 1992, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has provided some $11 billion for infrastructure projects in the Greater Mekong sub-region, which have either been completed or will be finished soon. China's new development bank, the Asian Infastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), could easily dwarf the ADB's funding in the region, with $50 billion in starting capital and a projected capital base of $100 billion. The AIIB will likely help China further expand its influence in Laos and the surrounding area, with Laos serving as a conduit between China and the Malaysian peninsula.
China and Laos have reportedly agreed, after initial delays, to move ahead with the construction of a $7.2 billion high-speed railway project linking the two countries and extending to Thailand. The 262-mile portion of the rail line in Laos would increase China's access to the maritime heart of Southeast Asia. Economists and others have questioned the railway's net benefits to Laos—servicing the construction debt could absorb up to 20 percent of Laos's annual national budget —but China, Laos, and Thailand appear to be fully on board.
Laos in China's Regional Calculus
China has built a modern sports stadium in Vientiane, constructed an imposing Chinese cultural center in the Lao capital, and erected low-cost shopping malls in Lao urban centers where Chinese-made consumer goods are readily available. Chinese investors have received long-term land concessions in Laos's special economic zones, whether given in direct response to Beijing's economic assistance or not.
China's ambassador to Laos announced in January 2014 that China's cumulative investment in Laos stood at $5.1 billion, slightly higher than that of Thailand and Vietnam, without acknowledging the $7.2 billion loan for railway construction. Chinese investors have strategically targeted hydro-electric generation and transmission projects, as well as concessions for mining projects for copper ore and its concentrates. Minerals make up two-thirds of the value of Lao exports to China.
All has not gone well for China, however. The Lao government closed a casino near the Laos-China border in May 2011, at the request of the Chinese government, after criminal activities there threatened social stability on both sides of the border. In addition, a small group of lawmakers in the National Assembly, long a rubber stamp body for the ruling Lao People's Revolutionary Party, objected to the railway project.
More broadly, resentment among segments of Lao society about China's exploitative business activities has led to growing suspicion about Chinese intentions in Laos. Such resentment, however, is hard to quantify and unlikely to coalesce into effective opposition to either government.
At the same time as Chinese investments have widened the gap between the rich and poor in Laos, basic Chinese consumer goods and the improved infrastructure made possible by Chinese assistance have made life easier for many.
Japan and Vietnam Acutely Aware of Laos's Strategic Significance
Vietnam and Japan are eager to limit China's influence in Laos. Vietnam has a long history of enmity with China as well as long established ties to both the Lao military and the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. More tangibly, the newly built hydro-electric dams along the Mekong River in China and Laos would limit the flow of the Mekong River (known as the "mother of waters" in Lao) to important fishing and rice-growing areas in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam's rice basket and a large population center.
Vietnam's leadership clearly wants to maintain Hanoi's historical and strategic influence in Vientiane. Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported that the secretariat of the Vietnamese Communist Party stated in a August 2013 letter to its Lao counterpart that Vietnam "felt threatened" by increasing Chinese (and Thai) investments in Laos. Vietnam emerged in 2013 as Laos's top foreign investor with $5 billion in 449 projects, only to fall slightly behind China in 2014. RFA quoted the Vientiane Times as reporting that Laos and Vietnam planned to increase their bilateral trade to $5 billion in 2020 from about $725 million in 2013.
In the meantime, Japanese companies have turned to Laos in search of cheap labor and diversification from their heavy concentration in Thailand, where the companies' bottom lines were hit by heavy flooding in 2011 and recurring political instability during the past decade.
Japan also appears intent on leveraging its aid and investment in Laos as a counterbalance to China's clout there. A senior Japanese trade official acknowledged that Tokyo views economic assistance as a way of breaking China's pre-eminence in countries such as Cambodia and Laos, telling the Wall Street Journal, "We are hoping to see indigenous industries grow in these countries so they can stand on their own, and become less dependent on China."
More bluntly, Japan does not want China to establish client states in Southeast Asia, a region important to Japan's economic prosperity and regional profile.
Looking Ahead
Physical proximity, deep pockets, and an unfettered government in Beijing underpin China's strong position in Laos, and will likely keep it ahead of the pack there in the future.
It is not clear, however, how China will exercise its power and influence over the long term in Laos, or how long Japan, Vietnam, and others will continue to make overtures there. What is clear is that Laos is now a geopolitical player in Southeast Asia, and should get more creative attention in Washington than it has since 1975.

Laser technology
Using the detailed information produced by the design software, our laser machinery is programmed off-line. The different parts are then cut using nitrogen, which protects the material from warping and doesn't affect its anti-corrosive characteristics. Our laser production is largely automated and its configuration is unique in the Netherlands. By using an inventive sorting system the next steps in production can happen quickly after the cutting process, allowing for a relatively short production time.

Grace Community Church, a Charis Fellowship congregation in Seal Beach, Calif. (Bob Wriedt, senior pastor), is among those in the Long Beach, Calif., area to help other congregations amid the coronavirus pandemic. A story in the Long Beach Press-Telegram tells the story. A portion appears below. Click here to read the complete article.
Long Beach churches help other places of worship struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic
A group of Long Beach area churches — and one angel of a foundation — are ready to give nearly $250,000 to more than 30 smaller, struggling places of worship to help their congregations amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Some houses of worship are more well off financially than others, just like among individuals and families in Long Beach, said Eric Marsh, pastor of Parkcrest Church, on Woodruff Avenue. And that separation has become more pronounced since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Marsh said. … Participating donor churches are Grace Community Church of Seal Beach, Antioch Long Beach, Bethany Church of Long Beach, Parkcrest Christian Church, Grace Brethren, Kings Church, Long Beach Christian Fellowship, The Garden, Light and Life Christian Fellowship, Cornerstone Church, All Saints Anglican and Revive.

While there is celebration about bay grasses hitting record levels for the third year running across the Chesapeake Bay, Anne Arundel's rivers saw an overall decline in 2017.
The South and Severn rivers saw grasses disappear, but the Magothy saw a modest increase.
The Chesapeake Bay Program announced in April that the annual aerial survey of submerged aquatic vegetation by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science found a baywide increase to 104,843 acres, topping 100,000 acres for the first time since the survey began in 1984.
Bay grasses are vital to the bay's health. They keep the water clean by absorbing nutrients, protecting shorelines from wave and wake action and provide habitat for young crabs and fish.
But like grasses on your lawn they need sunlight to survive. And when the bay and its tributaries are clouded by algae blooms or sediment sunlight does not reach the grasses. Human activity like boat wakes, propeller damage, even purposeful removal cause harm.
Bay grasses were once so abundant in the tributaries devices were towed behind boats to cut them and the state even distributed poison to kill grasses off to aid navigation.
But no more. Now increasing grass coverage is a primary goal of the Chesapeake Bay Agreement and the Chesapeake Bay Program aiming to implement the goals in it. Last year's grass growth took the baywide total 14,843 acres over the 2017 program target and 57 percent of the total goal.
It wasn't good news everywhere. Many tributaries in the middle of the bay, including the South and Severn rivers here and the Choptank across the bay. saw dramatic losses of SAV.
And a goodly chunk of the bay itself , from the Bay Bridge to just north of the Patapsco, saw a decline as well.
The Severn saw grasses flourish after a positive period of water clarity in 2016. But in 2017, 31 percent of its grasses were gone - dipping from 283 acres to 189.
The South River had seen 14 grasses growing off of South River Farm Park and in Glebe Bay in 2016. In 2017 it was all gone.
"We had that clean water event a couple years ago and the grasses seeded, creating the largest amount of grasses in years. But a lot of rain and mud, sediments and nutrients ran into the river, and we have a 31 percent drop," said Tom Guay of the Severn River Association. "It was disappointing, we are going backwards."
He said last year you could see grasses in the shallows all covered with brown algae. "The water was so murky."
The Magothy saw a bump from 14 acres in 2016 to 23 in 2017.
"We found five different species in the river. It is amazing that we did," said Paul Spadaro, president of the Magothy River Association.
He said the most grasses have been found near areas of natural shoreline as opposed to areas with bulkhead or rip-rap stone.
"When your bulkhead fails the county lets you rebuild it a few feet into the water, that puts the shore in deeper water where grasses don't have a chance to grow because they don't get the light they need," Spadaro said.
Another likely cause of the decline is species specific.
Most of the grasses lost were beds of widgeon grass, a "boom and bust" species that can rise and fall from year to year. So the widgeon grass-led spike seen in the South and Severn was not guaranteed to last.
The Lower Patuxent, south of Anne Arundel's shores, was also part of the good news, seeing a whopping 301 percent increase in grass coverage in the VIMS survey. It started with 32 acres and leapt to 131 acres in 2017.

A year to remember, a journey not forgotten
Crisp air, blue skies — and a view many may never see. At 59 years of age, Steve Dome looked out at the world from Africa's highest peak atop Mount Kilimanjaro. About six months earlier, it was a much different picture. A hospital gown, surgery, diagnosis – and the realization that life and opportunity is very precious.
From the beginning
Dome's journey from cancer to a 19,000-foot summit began in August 2016. He had a lump on his right buttock. He noticed it had changed a bit and pointed it out to his internist, but didn't think much of it. The physician recommended a biopsy, but Dome put it off. "I didn't think it was anything to be overly concerned about," explained Dome, matter-of-factly.
In the spring, he noticed the lump had gotten larger, so he made an appointment with Steven Mays, MD, a UT Physicians dermatologist and associate professor at McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
"Dr. Mays' team met with me and Dr. Duncan," said Dome. "She [Dr. Duncan] examined me and recommended surgery."
"I knew from my training at MD Anderson Cancer Center that Mr. Dome could very well have soft tissue sarcoma," said Casey B. Duncan, MD, an assistant professor at McGovern Medical School. "The lump looked like other cases I had seen."
Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that begins in the tissues that connect and surround other body structures such as muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and joints. Besides a lump on the skin, other symptoms of sarcoma include abdominal or extremity swelling, bloating, fatigue, or weight loss that can't be explained due to injury or sickness. The American Cancer Society estimates around 13,000 people in the United States were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma in 2018. Unfortunately, there are no screening tests for soft tissue sarcoma like there are for breast or colon cancer, so many times the disease presents at an advanced stage.
Imaging was ordered to confirm whether there were any other concerns in Dome's lymph nodes or lungs. When the images came back clear, a surgery date was scheduled at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. "I honestly didn't think it was cancer," said Dome. "Dr. Duncan was very compassionate and knowledgeable. She was honest and I felt comfortable heading into surgery."
"During the outpatient procedure, I removed the lump and some normal tissue around it," Dr. Duncan explained. "If it came back as cancer, I wanted to make sure we were thorough in removing what we could. That reduces the risk that the patient has to begin oncology treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or both, and reduces the risk of the cancer returning in that same location."
The climb to a positive outcome
About a week later, the lab results came back that the tumor was cancerous. "The waiting was unnerving," said Dome. "I was surprised it came back as cancer – and then the thought of chemotherapy and radiation was scary. However, I didn't want to rush into making that decision. I respected that they were analyzing the big picture and best course forward. I had an oncologist and radiologist who were also on my team. When they came back with the news that all of the cancer had been removed, it was a relief."
It's an outcome that Dr. Duncan hopes for all of her surgical oncology patients. "He was a really healthy guy," said Dr. Duncan. "His results were awesome. I wish I could do that for everyone. This is why I pursued medicine. I just want to take good care of patients and improve their quality of life."
Dome says he sings her praises. "I have recommended her to other people. I also tell others not to wait if you suspect anything suspicious. It was concerning to think that waiting may have allowed the cancer to spread to other parts of my body."
For Dome, it took less than a month to diagnose, remove, and hear the news he was cancer-free. In August 2018, he made his journey to Mount Kilimanjaro. For eight days, he traveled with a guide through various environments from tropical to alpine, to reach the summit. It was the coldest winter the region had experienced in about 20 years. Afterward, he continued with walking safaris.
"It has changed my perspective on everything," said Dome, who still sees Dr. Duncan every three months for follow-ups. "I don't delay now."

Last few years have seen rapid acceptance of high-definition television (HDTV) technology around the world. This technology has been hugely successful in delivering more realistic television experience at home and accurate imaging for professional applications. Adoption of high definition continues to grow as consumers demand enhanced features and greater quality of content. Following this trend, natural evolution of visualisation technologies will be in the direction of fully realistic visual experience and highly precise imaging. However, using the content of even higher resolution and quality is not straightforward as such videos require significantly higher access bandwidth and more processing power. Therefore, methods for radical reduction of video bandwidth are crucial for realisation of high visual quality. Moreover, it is desirable to look into other ways of accessing visual content, solution to which lies in innovative schemes for content delivery and consumption. This book presents selected chapters covering technologies that will enable greater flexibility in video content representation and allow users to access content from any device and to interact with it.

In recent years, the declining birthrate issue in Taiwan has become increasingly serious and children now have fewer opportunities to interact with the elderly. To address the resulting generational alienation, kindergartens in Chiayi's Meishan Township have organized fun activities aimed at teaching children about respect for the elderly, gratitude, and caring for the society.
Social welfare organizations in Chiayi cooperated with kindergartens and invited seniors living alone in Meishan to a reunion dinner in celebration of Chinese New Year. The kids not only performed an upbeat and hilarious talent show but also conducted a traditional tea-serving ceremony before sharing a reunion hot-pot meal. This heartwarming activity was a beautiful way to teach children about caring for their elders and touched the hearts of all those who participated in the event.

James Comey's speech interrupted by protesters at Howard University
Former FBI director James Comey's speech to students the historically black Howard University in Washington, D.C., was interrupted numerous times by protesters on Friday.
"We shall not be moved!" the protesters yelled, fists raised in the air. They also chanted, "No justice, no peace," and told Comey to "get out" of their "home."
"I'm only going to speak for 12 minutes," Comey said in response to the demonstrators.
The protesters issued a statement that said Comey "represents an institution diametrically opposed to the interests of black people domestically and abroad. While his tenure at the FBI has finished his impact on our community remains."
In the statement they faulted him for what is known as the "Ferguson effect," which holds that the rise of violent crime can be attributed to police avoidance of confrontation with suspected criminals because they fear of being accused of and criticized for abuse of force.
Comey, who was appointed FBI director by President Obama in 2013 to lead the FBI, was fired by President Trump in May. His dismissal provoked the appointment of Robert Mueller, himself a former FBI director, as the special counsel tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Howard University named Comey an endowed chair in public policy last month, with his $100,000 salary going to provide scholarships to the school. "I look forward to contributing to this remarkable institution and engaging students and faculty alike," Comey said in a statement upon his hiring.
However, some students were clearly upset Wednesday by the school's decision to bring Comey aboard. "You sold out to the FBI!" some yelled at administrators during the speech.
CBS News' Jeff Pegues and Pat Milton contributed to this report.
