Gregory III, Pope, St.
Pontificate: March 18, 731 to Nov. 28, 741. Of Syrian origin, Gregory was ordained to the priesthood before his election as Pope. He was the last Pope who sought confirmation of his election from the emperor in Constantinople or his agent, the exarch of Ravenna; thereafter, the emperor had no role in the process which determined who would serve as the successor to St. Peter. At the time of his election, Gregory III faced a tenuous situation, marked by an aggressive Lombard ruler seeking to dominate Italy and by an emperor attempting to impose his iconoclastic policy at a moment when imperial power in Italy was eroding. At stake for the papacy was the quasi-independent position of Rome and its surrounding territory that Gregory III's predecessors had succeeded in establishing. That position required a protector for the papacy, a role that had long been filled by the Byzantine emperor. But at the moment the emperor's attitude toward Rome was sorely tested by the leadership role taken by Pope gregory ii (715–731) in resisting the attempts of Emperor leo iii (717–741) to impose new taxes and to enforce his policy of iconoclasm. And those same imperial policies had sorely tested the allegiance to the emperor not only of the Pope but also of many of the emperor's subjects in Italy.
Immediately upon assuming office Gregory III moved to reaffirm his predecessor's repudiation of iconoclasm. Perhaps hoping to persuade Emperor Leo III to abandon his iconoclastic policy, Gregory III attempted to establish a dialogue with Leo III by letter. Receiving no response, he summoned a Roman synod which met in 731–732, attended by a large number of bishops from Italy who in a show of solidarity with the Pope condemned iconoclasm and decreed that anyone who destroyed or profaned sacred images would be excommunicated. Leo III responded by sending a fleet to Italy to force the submission of Gregory III, a venture that came to naught when the fleet was wrecked by a storm. Then he confiscated papal patrimonies in Sicily and Calabria and transferred the ecclesiastical province of Illyricum, embracing most of the Balkan Peninsula, Sicily, and southern Italy, from the jurisdiction of the pontiff of Rome to that of the patriarch of Constantinople. The loss of income from the properties in Sicily and Calabria was a major blow to the papacy. But Gregory III apparently found ways of offsetting his losses, since he had the revenue to build and decorate many churches in Rome. Thus he contributed substantially to the effort begun by his predecessor that led to the physical transformation of classical Rome into a medieval Christian city. Although the papal claims on the province of Illyricum became a bone of contention between Rome and Constantinople in the 9th century, there is no evidence that Gregory III saw its loss as a major papal setback. In fact, papal authority was negligible there. Leo III's measures were interpreted by many in Rome as another sign of his tyranny; however, his action more likely represented a move to solidify his position in a place where imperial control was still effective and to abandon Italy, where his power was growing weaker. During the remainder of Gregory III's pontificate there was little interaction between Rome and Constantinople; Rome had gained de facto freedom from imperial control.
During the first part of Gregory III's pontificate papal relations with the lombards were relatively quiet; the agreement of 728 between Pope Gregory II and King liutprand (712–744) served to keep the peace. Gregory remained aware of the Lombard threat, as indicated by his restoration of the walls of Rome and his efforts to regain strategic strongholds seized by the Lombards. In 738 Liutprand seized Ravenna and forced the exarch into exile; Gregory III played an important role in restoring the exarch, an act that Liutprand considered hostile. Liutprand's main objective was the subjugation of the dukes of Spoleto and Benevento, whose efforts to remain independent threatened Liutprand's plans to unify the Lombard kingdom. Gregory III's support of a rebellion of the dukes increased the hostility of the Lombard king. Liutprand's success against the dukes and subsequent march on Rome with the intention of forcing Gregory III to abandon his alliance with dukes prompted the Pope to send an embassy to charles martel in 739, pleading for Frankish intervention to save St. Peter's church and his "special people" (peculiarem populum ). Charles declined to act in defense of Rome, probably because Liutprand was a Frankish ally who at the moment was providing invaluable help to Charles in his effort to check Muslim intrusions into Provence. But Charles did send an embassy to Rome that prompted a second appeal from Gregory III. In his letters to Charles, Gregory spoke in terms that suggested that he and most Romans believed that a Roman political entity had come into existence whose leader could deal with other princes as an independent agent. In the meantime, Liutprand retired from the Roman scene, perhaps because of the intercession of Charles Martel on behalf of the Pope, but more likely because his threat to Rome had convinced the Pope to give up his alliance with the Lombard dukes of Spoleto and Benevento. Peace, albeit tenuous, had been restored in Italy.
Meanwhile, Gregory III continued expanding papal ties with the world north of the Alps. Already noted was his interaction with Charles Martel, a step in establishing closer relationship with the kingdom of the Franks. He became involved in ecclesiastical affairs in England when he responded favorably to a request by Bishop egbert of york to restore that see to the metropolitan status that had originally been awarded it by Pope Gregory I (590–604). He continued to follow closely the missionary work of boniface in Germany. On the basis of reports of Boniface's successes in Hesse and Thuringia and his continued requests for guidance, in 732 Gregory III elevated Boniface to archiepiscopal status without a fixed see but closely linked to Rome; Boniface was instructed to proceed with the establishment of bishoprics in Germany and to appoint qualified clerics to serve as bishops in the new sees. Boniface gave his immediate attention to establishing an episcopal structure in Bavaria to which Gregory III gave his approval, and then he continued his organizational work by establishing episcopal sees in Hesse and Thuringia. As his work progressed, the Pope provided his legate with letters soliciting support for his work and providing guidance on a wide range of disciplinary, liturgical, and theological matters pertaining to the establishment of Christian life among the partially Christianized and newly converted peoples in Bavarian, Hesse, and Thuringia. On occasion, Boniface responded by reminding his spiritual mentor of rumors about religious matters in Rome that needed correction. In 737 at the Pope's command Boniface visited Rome for the third time, and then returned north armed with papal letters to various parties urging support for his work and with instructions to continue organizing the lands in which he had been working. By the time this phase of his career was completed in the early 740s, Boniface was ready to move into a new realm that would involve the papacy, the reform of the Frankish church along lines that promised to increase papal influence in the Frankish realm.
Gregory III died in 741, a year that also witnessed the deaths of Emperor Leo III and Charles Martel. New leaders would now continue to transform the power structure in Italy, which had changed considerably during the pontificate of Gregory III. It was marked especially by his exploration of new ways to replace the eastern Roman emperor as protector of the Pope and the territories he controlled against the Lombards.

Yes, that's what we're living in: a pornographic society. So many things are permeated with sex or sexual innuendo, and everything (for me at least) points back to the incredible amount of sexual and/or pornographic implications everywhere around us. Look at advertising. The basic idea that 'sex sells' is still there. It gets worse even, I think.
Look at music videos or car ads.
How many of them show people (mainly women, as they're the prime exploits in there) in half-dressed or even less situations to entice the viewer to keep watching?
I think that it is stuff like that which makes life so very difficult for people who just want to be naked without a fuss.
Women these days can get raped simply 'because of what they're wearing'. Again there is the influence of the overly sexualised society, the videos and the pictures that put women in a wrong light. As prey to be hunted and conquered. Because of that, woman will also be attacked when they wear nothing – because that's seen even more as an open invitation to be groped, raped and so horribly forth.
I really worry about our society in that light. Something has to happen, and it has to happen fast. Otherwise things go out of control (I hope we're not there yet). Nudism could be an answer to all this misconception and brutality towards women. Women should not be the victims of the horrible things that men (yes, it's mostly men although not all women are without blame, I'm sure) have gotten in their heads. Nudism is clean. It has nothing to do with pornography, sexual exploitation and all those other things that modern society bestows upon us. I hope that nudism is the answer. That and common sense.

This is so well written – I was never an elite swimmer, but I trained and raced hard for a long time. My identity was totally wrapped up around swimming so when I had to give up it was tough.
I appreciate what I learnt now, but it was tough back then.
Hope this gets the exposure it deserves! Thank you
Crossing the Identity Chasm
One of the most common issues for athletes transitioning out of sport is the loss of identity that inevitably accompanies the hanging up of your goggles, boots, spikes, oars or racquet for good. After retiring 9 months ago, it's something that I have struggled with too, and after a bit of reflection, it's not too difficult to see why—after all, identifying as an athlete is pretty much all I've ever known.
There are of course exceptions, but the majority of athletes are consumed by sport from a fairly young age (I swum a mile when I was 6 years old, and my hair barely dried for the next twenty years). Going through your teenage years as an elite, or semi-elite athlete, has some challenges, such as correctly managing your education and social development alongside sport, but it is usually a hugely positive commitment for a young adult. At an age when most kids are messing around with their mates, playing on their Xbox, or Snapchatting every two or three minutes, the young athlete goes on a pretty intensive course of learning how to optimally prioritise tasks, time and energy.
Whilst many teenagers have to be dragged out of bed in the morning, a young athlete will be up before sunrise, dragging their parents out of bed to take them to the pool, track or gym. Whilst their friends moan about homework, a young athlete will have a routine that allows them to complete their homework and train after school, with enough time leftover to relax and watch that latest episode of Love Island. Whilst their schoolmates are happy to grab a bag of chips for lunch, a young athlete will be learning about correctly fuelling their body, choosing their food carefully to optimise recovery from the morning's session, or to prepare for the afternoon's. It's a steep learning curve, and not all those who begin the journey make it through to the end, but the skills that young athletes acquire during those developmental years—the dedication, focus, commitment to excellence, time management, communication—undoubtedly give them the foundations for being successful, not only in sport, but in their schooling, hobbies and future careers.
What young athletes also develop is a strong identity: "I am an athlete". Four powerful words that will be the beginning of many Olympic and Paralympic dreams, Grand Slam smashes, or Tour de France wins. Of course, we had goals too—to become the best in the county, then regional champion, then national champion. To beat the older kids, to qualify for senior domestic competitions, and then, finally, to compete as a senior athlete for your chance to stand up and represent your country at an international event. No athlete, young or old, is immune to the intoxicating draw of high-level competition, and the drive for success and progression fuels many of those early morning training wake-up calls, the brutal training sessions, and that tormented decision between chicken nuggets or vegetable stir fry.
But what really keeps a young sportsperson driving forwards, week in, week out, without compromise, is the identity they have started to forge. Let me explain how this works. The majority of training is somewhat tired, rough round the edges and slow…. that's the point of training! Push yourself out of your comfort zone, hurt your body, and then, when it comes to rested competition, you will hopefully be able to fire faster and stronger than you've ever been before. But that means, by its very nature, that the majority of training does not involve fast times, fresh legs or shiny PB's. If athletes relied on always seeing tangible progress, in order to keep motivation and momentum, then many of us would have quit years ago. You don't get feedback every day that you're on track to reach your goals, you don't always get times that tell you that you're world-leading, and you don't often get information that tells you you're in perfect form to win medals and break records. So, we don't rely solely on tangible progress markers. Instead, we have our identity. Being an elite athlete gives us impetus to push through those tough sessions and difficult choices. Yes, the Olympic dream gives us vision, but it is this identity that gives us our security, motivation and drive, and in turn dictates the everyday actions we take. We don't question getting up in the morning or pushing ourselves to tears. We are merely acting in accordance with the identity we have created. We don't always get it right—numerous mistakes will be made along the way—but we gradually evolve from a regular teenager into a dedicated, focused athletic being.
Over the years, a young sportsman or woman will continue to substantiate this identity, with our sporting successes—medals, records, personal bests and qualification standards—reconfirming 'the athlete' we are becoming. Other interests and pursuits will often fall at the wayside, as we begin to eat, sleep and breathe our sport. Our daily routines prioritise training and recovery; our calendar is scheduled around competition seasons. When things get tough, we will stand in the mirror and say, "This is what I do. This is what it means to be an athlete. This is who I am. I can do this". Through the inevitable ups and downs, the wins and losses, we will never lose this identity. That is, until we retire…
Elite sport is a strange vocation because, once an athlete retires, we can't really just 'dip' back in to our profession at a later date. Many of the identity associations above also ring true for other industries. I imagine a musically talented youngster would also start to build a strong identification with being a musician. A young chess prodigy would begin to say, "I am a Chess Player". A youngster who shows serious promise in the acting arena would gradually start to identify as an actor. Any pursuit of excellence requires hours of dedication and focus. But most people who make a career out of music, or chess, or acting even, can usually do this for their entire life. Even if they choose other careers later on, they could still feasibly return to their previous vocation relatively easily. Sport is different. There will come a point in every athlete's life where they cannot feasibly continue, whether this is due to injury, performance or motivation. Whereas the musician, chess player and actor can all reasonably adopt that permanent identity, once an athlete transitions out of sport, we technically cease to be athletes any more.
To make things even harder, we've often sacrificed the 'experimental' stage of our lives, whilst we pursued our dreams in sport. For most people, their teenage years and twenties are basically spent finding out who they are and what they like. These are the years spent in school, in college, university, on grad schemes, internships, first jobs, second jobs, third jobs. Not everybody has their life figured out by the age of thirty, but most people have enjoyed at least a decade of experimentation, travel, socialising, working and, crucially, figuring out who they are. Every young person goes on a necessary journey of identity formation, with their experiences, interactions and environment all shaping the future person they become.
Young athletes are equally malleable, but this identity 'forging' often happens in a more focused, single-minded way. We travel with our sport, we socialise with our teammates, we experiment with our training programmes and we work bloody hard to reach the top of the game. But not many spend a whole lot of time trying new things and experiencing different environments. Being a sportsperson defined almost my entire existence, so, as an athlete retiring from sport at the age of 27, I inevitably felt more of an identity loss than a non-sporting peer would if they had left their career path.
And loss is exactly how it felt.
Identity is a hugely important part of the human psyche, and when it's taken away, or abruptly changed, the resulting emotion is grief. For year sport defined me. In school there were two Lizzies in our class, so I was known to some 'hilarious' teachers as "Damp Lizzie" because my hair was always wet (not very flattering, I know!) Later on, I would retain sports-related nicknames from my non-sporting peers, with "Swimmo" still being a firm favourite for many of my social group. Our identity is one of the most important parts of us—it's defines me as me, and you as you. It's what separates individuals, and our ability to self-identify is one of the things that makes us different from the rest of the animal kingdom. So, it's unsurprising that I still stumble when people ask me what I do for a living, because my automated response is to tell them about my preparations for the next major competition. And it makes sense of why I feel slightly weird about people calling me "Swimmo", when the most swimming I do these days is the occasional half hour splash in the public lane…
So, how can us athletes manage this abrupt change in direction and identity?
Well, that depends on where an athlete might find themselves in their particular sporting journey…
For athletes still competing
You are an athlete. That identity will define many of the decisions you make on a daily basis, and your purpose will be driven by acting in accordance with this. There is a good chance that it will be the strongest driving force you will feel each day. You'll have goals, targets and objectives that give you vision, but you will also rely on your identity to help you push through when things get tough. This is a huge part of sport, and adopting this all-encompassing identity is part of what makes you great at what you do.
But it isn't everything.
Although you may not recognise it at the time, you are much more than you think, beyond your performance on the pitch, field, track etc. Even though sport may occupy most of your waking thoughts and actions, you don't have to limit yourself to a singular existence. So, ask yourself what are the other components that make you, well, you? To begin with you are a son, or a daughter. You may be a sibling. You may be a partner. You may be a parent or a carer. You will undoubtedly be a teammate and a friend. You may be a coach to others, or a captain. You will be an influencer and a leader. You will be a role model. You will be an ambassador for sponsors, a representative for your sport. You will be a speaker, a tweeter, a blogger, a vlogger. You may be a mentor to other athletes, or a voice campaigning for change. You may be a travel enthusiast, a photographer, an artist. You may be a student, or a teacher. You may be a cook, a chef or a baker. You may be an academic, a director, an employee, or a contractor. Yes, you are an athlete. But you are so much more as well. Recognise that, whilst sport plays a hugely significantly part in defining you, it doesn't define your entirety.
So, start to consider your interests outside sport. This doesn't mean missing training sessions or getting distracted from your goals, but begin to use your down time to explore the other things that make you tick. It doesn't have to be a traditional academic studying route, but experiment with your hobbies and with your ideas. Find an online course, or an evening class, or just begin by watching YouTube videos about things that interest you. Photography, web design, business, clay modelling, chess, guitar, chemical engineering, journalism, coaching, charcoal drawing, architecture, pastry, yoga instructing, opera singing, calligraphy. Pick one, pick ten, pick all of them. Sometimes, when we're excelling at sport, it can be hard to pursue other interests as an 'amateur'—to be average at something, and to be ordinary at other skills. Whilst the likelihood is, that given practise in many of these other activities you will also start to excel, the goal here isn't to be the best in the world at guitar or calligraphy—the objective is to extend your identity to more than just your sporting performance. Continue doing this alongside your sporting career, and you will begin to forge an identity that is centred around you as a human being, and not just you as an athlete.
For athletes who have retired
First of all, understand that your sporting results were only an outcome. It was you and your dedication, focus and commitment that created those results. Even though it's difficult to leave behind the fast-paced world of elite sport, those attributes and skills are not lost. You still have the ability to do extraordinary things, and all the attributes that led to your success in sport are still a part of you. If you can see retirement with this perspective, then you can begin to understand that your athletic identity isn't lost completely when you 'hang up' your team kit. Yes, you've transitioned out of the environment in which you can win medals and titles, but you can still identify as an athlete, because all the qualities, skills and idiosyncrasies that you honed during sport are still absolutely a part of who you are. Being an athlete may no longer drive your everyday direction and motivation, but it will always be a part of you.
Secondly, after sport, it can be unnerving not to be exceptional at one thing, especially if that's all you've ever really done. It can feel overwhelming to even think of replacing the strength of that single, unyielding identity that you had as an athlete. But trying to replace it completely isn't realistic, or constructive. Now it's your turn to do what most kids did in their teenage years, or early twenties. It's time to experiment. It's time to give yourself a break, to stop demanding excellence, and to accept being a newcomer to many different pursuits. It's time to say yes to every opportunity that comes your way, to experience new industries, to develop new skills, to hang around outside of your comfort zone. And it's time to do all of this with objective perspective, making notes and keeping records of what gives you motivation and purpose.
Not everything you do will give you fulfilment, and not all of the ideas you have will materialise. But to expect that the first thing you dive into will fully replace the purpose and satisfaction that sport gave you is just unrealistic. As an athlete, you are familiar with setting yourself challenging goals. So, do exactly the same here—continually track your progress in new endeavours, re-assessing the next target as you go. In this instance, however, the goal isn't to be immediately world-leading at your new pursuits, it's to take the pressure off yourself, and to go on a journey of self-discovery in which you stop assuming your identity has been lost to sport, and start allowing yourself to get excited by the opportunity of creating a whole host of new identities. Being an elite athlete is super cool, but, project forward 60 years and look back on your life. If elite sport was the only thing you had accomplished, I guarantee you'd feel a bit wasted. Your journey in sport has helped shape the person you are, but it is not because you were an athlete that you achieved results. It is because of the person you are, and that is something you won't ever leave behind, even when you close the door to sport.

Another wonderful article Lizzie, well done and thank you for sharing!
"Perspective" was one of the key things that stood out to me, as well as your direct advice to current athletes not worry about spending time on other hobbies, learning new skills or education, or employment whilst being an athlete – some of the most successful athletes have managed to do both!
Hope you're well! Ben
I can relate to this so much. I'm currently still in my early twenties, and still have dreams of where I'd like to be in my sport. But recently I've been so unsure of whether I'm continuing because I really want to, or because kayaking is just what I do. And sport often takes place in a separate bubble from the rest of your life. I feel like when I leave my sport, I will lose certain people from my life that I used to see every day. It's hard!

Life after Russia
My beautiful students, now I offer you to read about Jason's journey to Russia. What thoughts occurred to him and what experience he gained! Enjoy!
Life after Russia…A trip to Russia has come and gone. The trip was wonderful and enlightening in so many ways. It should be pointed out that I did not seek to take pictures and go to common tourist areas, but to sit and talk with locals, and learn as much as possible. If I had to describe Russia in a word or two, I would say it's a complex mixed bag. A mixed bag of pros and cons in so many areas. One should also keep in mind that Russia is in transition. What you see today, may not be what you see 5 years from now. I mean that in all areas. From economic, to social to spiritual.
Economically there seems to be no shortage economic activity in southern Russia. For every old Soviet building still in use, there is a new building being constructed. For every old Soviet car on the road, there is a new car. If the land is tillable, it's tilled and something is being grown on it. The soil is dark, rich with the perfect amount of clay. The best I have ever seen. I can't imagine a shortage of jobs in such an area.
The toughest thing to wrap one's mind around is the devalued Ruble. In theory these far superior vegetables and crops should be worth more than anything grown in California, but because of politics, fiat money, and again politics, a not so fair and false reality is being played out. It may be true Russia's economy is not as diverse nation wide, but you would not be able to tell it in the Southern Russia. I also don't think it's possible for an American traveler to really understand the economic situation. It would take true experience trying to make a living in Rubles to understand the difficulties.
Meanwhile don't forget to learn the Russian language here

NEW YORK, April 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Global and China LED Industry Report, 2010-2011
The LED market size climbed 58% to US$15.8 billion in 2010 from US$10 billion. The market size of LED for LCD TV backlight actually boomed to approximately US$3.9 billion from US$960 million driven by the explosion of LED-TV.
The market share of LED-backlit LCD TV arrived at 26.9% in 2010, and it is predicted to see 55.9% in 2011. Promisingly, LED will completely replace CCFL in 2014. The market share of LED-backlit NB rose to 95% in 2010 from the merely 59% in 2009; while that of LED-backlit LCD hit 15% in 2010 from 1.5% in 2009, and is projected to rest on 40% in 2012.
The global LED industry can be divided into four big regions elaborated as follows:
1. European & American region that focuses on general lighting and gives priority to the high reliability and high brightness of products;
2. Japan which boasts the most comprehensive technology and the most powerful strength in both general lighting and backlight display, with the development orientation attaching equal importance to general lighting, automotive, mobile phone, and TV;
3. South Korea and Taiwan that highlight the laptop display backlight, LED-TV backlight, and mobile phone backlight, featuring large shipment, low unit price, and meager gross profit;
4. Chinese Mainland which gives priority to yellow-green LED and aims at outdoor display, advertising screen, and signal lamp. The applications require low product technology and reliability, the clients are scattered and of small scales, yet the gross profit is not low due to the engineering projects in most cases.
Chinese Mainland is at best a production workshop although it has manufactured 80% mobile phones, 95% notebook computers, 50% LCD TVs, and 95% LCDs worldwide. As a whole, the key raw materials, small & medium-sized panels, and large-sized panels are monopolized by Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese enterprises.
European & American enterprises have nothing to do with the flourishing LED backlight market in that they have targeted at the big market of general lighting from the very beginning. In 2010, the shipment expanded greatly, but the price dropped dramatically, which just brought along slight growth to these manufacturers. Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese enterprises enjoyed the most rapid progress.
In 2010, LG INNOTEK presented the highest growth margin, and the revenue from LED Division advanced to US$783 million from US$229 million in 2009. Nevertheless, LG INNOTEK sacrificed the profit whose growth margin was far from that of revenue. The revenue of Samsung LED also progressed considerably to US$1.14 billion from US$508 million in 2009, ranking the global No.2; while that of South Korea's Seoul Semiconductor climbed 105% to US$726 million.
Nichia, the global No.1 for consecutive 8 years since 2003, also advanced rapidly, and its LED revenue rose 65% against 2009 to US$2.246 billion. China is in possession of more than 150 LED enterprises, but their total revenue is inferior to that of Nichia and the total operating profit fails to meet 40% of Nichia's profit.
China's LED industry remained a hotspot in 2010 and a great number of enterprises successively announced the investment of at least RMB10 billion. Chinese government was eager about LED upstream and offered the subsidy of RMB10 million for each MOCVD machine, which stimulated the LED investment upsurge. Chinese Mainland enterprises purchased only 25 MOCVD machines in 2009, but the number expanded to 267 in 2010, and it surpassed 450 considering the MOCVD machines purchased by Taiwanese enterprises in Mainland China. In 2010, the global shipment of MOCVD machines totaled just 768.
The MOCVD machines worldwide are almost monopolized by AIXTRON and VEECO who have benefited a lot from the investment zeal of Chinese enterprises. In 2010, VEECO launched K465I in Chinese market, posing great pressure on AIXTRON, and its revenue soared 230%.
Different from automobiles, MOCVD machines require debugging first, which will take2-4 moths for veteran manufacturers but possibly even longer time for those absent in experience or technology. Chinese Mainland manufacturers have frequently headhunted Taiwanese LED talents with the promised salary by several folds; however, few have been attracted in view of the probable lay-off after the completion of debugging. Consequently, the actual mass production ratio of the available 267 MOCVD machines in 2010 is not high in 2011.
Since early 2011, partial local governments of China have suspended the procurement subsidy over MOCVD equipment taking into account possible overcapacity and insufficient utilization of MOCVD devices.

Democracy in action, its a beautiful thing to behold. It can unite a nation and give the people a voice, as well as allow us to officially choose some eye candy to adorn the cover for the next Mass Effect game. The ancients who coined the word would be so proud.
Bioware has been running a poll for the fans recently, to allow them to decide just which FemShep should stand tall next to her gender opposite, and so far, the numbers look good for number 5.
Fans seem to like the blonde Shepard with green eyes the most, with votes for her clocking in at over 28 000, while her closest visual rivals only barely hanging on at a measly 10-12 000 votes each. Shepard number 6 is the least popular, having only under 4000 votes to add to her tally.
Default FemShep has usually been a redhead with short hair, but it looks like this blonde vision will replace her, judging by her overwhelming lead, and will appear on the collectors edition box of the game, as well as any other future promotional materials.
Still, if you're too lazy to either create your own Femshep when Mass Effect 3 launches next year, and would rather prefer one of the other five ladies as your default character, then head on over to the ME3 Facebook page and start clicking.

The magic persuasive power of "AFCD."
Many years ago I would fill out insertion orders for newspaper ads (yes, it must have been years ago), and in the Notes section, I would write "Far forward, right hand page, above the fold, AFCD."
Every once in a while, I would get a phone call from the guys in the composing room, asking "I understand your requests, except what is AFCD?"
My answer, which often got me both a chuckle and a favorable position was, "A Fellow Can Dream?"
So this holiday season, may you have peace on earth, the warmth of family, and a spot on the top right of page 3. AFCD.
Could it also be AGCD? Sure. It's not a gender-specific tactic.

A very significant area of our home is the kitchen. Before purchasing kitchen fixtures, one should be very patient. One object which plays a vital role in performing kitchen tasks is the kitchen faucet.
Disadvantages of pull-out / pull-down faucets:
It is hard to get any hoses back into the spout
It is hard to re-attach any heads to the spout
If not correctly weighted, the head of the spout might dangle
Often the pull down hoses are thinner than the pull out faucet hoses.
If the head is left in a high-pressure spray and you turn on the faucet anticipating natural water flow, it can be irritating and/or cause splashing.
Low pressure in the water
One downside of pull-down faucets is that they are not acceptable for low water pressure households. Because of the height of the spout, the water flow might be limited.
In recent days, though, engineering is seeking to solve this problem and make pull-down faucets that would be free of any defects. In contrast to the pull-out models, this would definitely make them in demand. Many sink styles have hit the industry today , making it less possible to have a kitchen faucet in the middle of the sink.
The chance to overflow
If it is a cheap-quality model of kitchen faucet, then there is a risk that the sprayer could break down and overflow your home. The flow is extremely bad if there is a water pipeline burst in your house that comes from pull-down faucets.
Not adapted to tiny sinks
Aside from that, the smaller sinks are not ideal for pull-down faucets. Before investing in a pull-down faucet, you will need to check the height above the drain.
When you consider purchasing a pull-down kitchen faucet, dimensions are very relevant. People are also uncertain about whether or not to buy pull-down faucets. Both the patterns of pull-down and pull out have their advantages and drawbacks. If you have less room in the kitchen, the bill would suit for the pull out faucets. There'll always be a kitchen faucet in the middle of the sink, you can't fix it in a different spot. So, in this respect, taking out faucets would earn bonus points.
Disadvantages of the Wall Mount Kitchen Faucet:
If you were not intending to rip down the drywall in the remodelling process, running plumbing into the wall is invasive and expensive.
In cold climates, pipes in an exterior wall are more vulnerable to freezing (and are not authorised in the construction codes of certain northern cities and counties)
Inside a wall, leakage can cause significant damage and require more intrusive maintenance steps.
For the faucet handles, you would have to reach further for
Difficult to use cheaper ones with shorter spouts
Single hole drawbacks of kitchen faucets:
The minimalist style does not suit as well as contemporary looks with western and country kitchen architecture.
Most are single-handle faucets, and it can be difficult to get the exact temperature and flow rate that you want from certain single-handle versions.
Disadvantages of the Double Hole Kitchen Faucet:
On the sink deck or countertop, the wider faucet base takes up more room.
It is more difficult to clean behind the faucet than to clean behind single-hole versions or under wall mount faucets
Bridge faucet drawbacks:
The two-handle arrangement requires a little more effort than a single-handle faucet and is not as ergonomic.
It may be challenging for people with disabilities or arthritis to operate two different handles.
The chance of being scalded is marginally greater than for single-handle prototypes when flipping on just the hot handle.
The architecture is not a suitable match for classic and contemporary designs.
Disadvantages of kitchen waterfall faucets
Those with large spouts can lack adequate water pressure to rinse dishes, vegetables or sinks efficiently.
Light faucets need a battery that needs to be replaced daily, and some can find this a hassle.
Disadvantages of a kitchen faucet for vessels:
Most of them are very short, do not swivel and have limited scope, so in a kitchen faucet they are not sufficient for many functions you like.
Spray heads on the vast majority of these faucets are not available.
A vessel sink is not ideal for washing heavy pots and pans in addition to the faucet, and does not have the ability needed for a frequently used kitchen sink.
Disadvantages of faucets without touch:
Some versions have bizarre sensors that cause activation and deactivation problems.
The sensors need an energy source, so the cost of operating them is a factor.
Because of built-in infrastructure, touchless faucets cost more than anything.
Any of these faucets may not have a temperature change, so your only choice is warm water.
High water concentrations or floods could be triggered by inadvertently turning on the water if there is no automated shutdown.
If you insist on the appearance and lighting of your kitchen, a smart idea is to take down the kitchen faucet. Any other things that you need to remember are the coverage of the faucet, the height of the cabinets above the sink, etc.

For many, a college football game experience begins many hours before kickoff. They will gather with family and friends, eating great food made over an open flame and downing their favorite beverages. Kids will be playing pick-up games, tossing the football around parking and tailgate lots. Loud music or the sounds of sports radio talk shows will blare from car stereos or RVs.
At Fresno State, the following tailgating rules are in place to provide fans with a safe and fun environment.
The University welcomes responsible "tailgating". It is part of the pageantry and culture of college sports. In order to provide for a safe and responsible experience, if you "tailgate" we ask you to observe these campus rules:
All tent and table rental needs for tailgating in the Bulldog Stadium lots must be ordered coordinated through the athletics ticket office. Please contact Christina Rodriquez at (559) 278-7449 for more information.
"Tailgating" means any gathering of persons outside the venue, in conjunction with an athletic activity, where alcohol is served and consumed.
Tailgating is limited to Athletic-department controlled parking lots and grassy areas. Campus policy prohibits public consumption of alcohol in all other areas.
Tailgating may not begin until the parking areas become "controlled" by athletics.
Tailgating is not allowed while the game is being played. One or two persons may remain behind as "caretakers". All tailgating and picnicking spaces must be completely cleared within two hours after the game ends.
Providing free food to the general public is prohibited. Only those in your private party are allowed to benefit from your food and beverages. The University has specific contractual arrangements with Food Services on campus and other Food Vendors to serve the general public.
Each vehicle is allowed only one stall and must park between the lines. If you bring a canopy tent or awning, you must stay within your parking stall boundaries and the tent may not exceed a 10 x 10 size.
Alcohol must not be sold in any manner, direct or indirect (as in price of admission) unless by the University concessionaire or a licensed caterer.
The following are not allowed: drinking contests, beer kegs (except by licensed caterer), and non-portable furniture (couches, etc.). Any material promoting a commercial entity is prohibited from entering the tailgating area and Bulldog Stadium. The University reserves the right to determine appropriateness of any item or activity. Persons found to be violating these rules may be asked to leave campus, may be cited, and/or may jeopardize their future authorizations to tailgate. Fresno State is committed to a policy of responsible consumption of alcohol. It is our sincere intent that you and your family and friends have a safe and enjoyable experience while visiting our campus. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact the University Police Department

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a deal to reserve up to 300 million more doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, doubling its order for the jabs.
Countering criticism from national capitals that the Commission had acted too slowly or not purchased enough, she said more than 75 million doses will be available in the EU by the second quarter of 2021.
"Europe will have more than enough vaccines in a reliable time frame," she said. "The path we have taken together as Europe is the right one."
With both the BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna vaccines approved in the EU, von der Leyen said the bloc will have enough vaccines to use on 80 percent of the population.

The announcement today means the Commission would extend its contract with the German and American companies for 200 million doses of the mRNA vaccine with the option to purchase another 100 million. The deal still has to be approved by EU countries.
The Commission's original contract with BioNTech/Pfizer secured 200 million doses of the vaccine with an option to buy another 100 million, which the Commission triggered in December. The new order brings that to 600 million doses.
It has also ordered 160 million doses of the Moderna jab along with deals with four other countries. Overall, if other vaccines are proved safe and effective, it will have 2 billion doses available.
The announcement comes after increasing criticism, especially from Germany, that the EU did not purchase enough of the right vaccines. "Who would have known which vaccines would have made it," in the summer, von der Leyen said, which is why the EU opted for a "broad range from the outset."
Von der Leyen also denied that any countries will have separate deals. Germany, as recently as yesterday, repeated that they have a deal with BioNTech for 30 million doses outside the EU's strategy.
"It's legally binding," she said. "We have all agreed, legally binding, that there will be no parallel negotiations, no parallel contracts … We're all working together."
Von der Leyen did not comment on the fact that Germany and France are purchasing doses of the Moderna vaccine that other countries did not end up buying through the EU's procurement, largely for logistical and cost reasons.
The Commission has stressed for months that all countries will get their doses at the same time based on their population sizes, but countries can opt-out of deals. Germany said this week it will get 50 million doses of the Moderna vaccine, whereas its pro-rata allocation should provide closer to 30 million doses.
European countries have been slow though to use the vaccines they already have. The Netherlands only began vaccinations this week, and France came under fire for only using around 500 of the first 500,000 BioNTech/Pfizer doses it received.
Von der Leyen said the "beginning is always difficult," citing the logistical challenges of keeping the mRNA vaccine on dry ice and the time it takes to ramp up manufacturing. But she added that countries need to "step up."
"We have to raise the numbers of vaccinations rapidly," she said

Gender Reveal Gone Wrong
An ordinary gender reveal, what could go wrong?
When thinking of a gender reveal, you picture family and friends reuniting; everyone completely excited to find out the gender of the baby. However, Bennet Milloy thought the same thing until early September morning when their average gender reveal took a big twist. In other words, this twist was caused by a "pyrotechnic device" that created massive swarms of fire in California.
It was September 5, 2020 when the fire first started at 10:23 am. The gender reveal took place at the El Dorado in San Bernardino County where the fire began. It originated by a "smoke-generating pyrotechnic device."
Freshman Antonio Orduno states," The gender reveal fire was quite a shock to me when I heard about it. I was just thinking about how crazy it is that one single party can lead to this huge problem."
An award- winning journalist, Matthew Keys tweeted on September 6," This was just two years ago, the last time a gender-reveal party caused a wildfire (this was in Arizona). The same thing happened near San Bernardino according to CAL FIRE. #ElDoradoFire."
"I was shocked that anyone would think that it was a good idea to use a pyrotechnic device in a dry field, in the middle of the dry season, during a heat wave, in the middle of a pandemic," Cal Poly Pomona Adjunct Professor of Sociology, Criminology, and Vanguard University Adjunct, Professor Gerstenberger stated. "I'm disappointed that this couple did not have better judgement."
"They did the gender reveal on the worse red flag day and worse time," Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Leon Dunn revealed. "It was over 100 degrees and the fire weather; that is the worst time to do anything outdoors that can cause a wildfire."
How it started: How it ended: pic.twitter.com/Ry2WWaqYyc
— Jenna Myers Karvunidis (@HighGlossSauce) October 10, 2020
But while gender reveals have been around for a while, they didn't start out this dangerous. Gender reveal parties first began in the late 2000's. It was popularized because of Jenna Karvunidis in 2008, beginning with a simple cake.
Jenna had blogged about her gender reveal party, which featured a cake with the color of her unborn baby's sex, and she began to observe that the amount of gender reveals getting thrown expanded a few years after her own. She has since come out as against gender reveal parties.
"Themes like 'guns or glitter' … perpetuate heavily gendered ideologies about what boys and girls are allowed to enjoy and excel at," Professor Gerstenberger claimed. "It seems that we are placing expectations on children before they even enter the world."
As time expanded and ideas expanded, these gender reveal parties became not as innocent as they were in the start. Gender reveal parties such as using a live alligator to reveal the gender of their baby, dad broke his ankle, and a couple accidentally sets car on fire can be found online.
"And this often starts with 'innocent' parties like gender reveals," Professor Gerstenberger professed.
Unfortunately, the El Dorado Fire wasn't even the first gender reveal wildfire to occur.
On April 23, 2017 Dickey and his wife had planned out a gender reveal party in the middle of the desert. Unexpectedly when shooting the explosive, flames bursted out spreading rapidly and burning over 46,991 acres.
US Attorney's Office stated the family had a highly explosive matter called "Tannerite" and striked it with a high-powered rifle. The family was charged with $8,188,069 in replacement.
"Even though the source of the fire was shocking (a gender reveal party), I'm not that surprised by a massive wildfire occurring. There have been lots of wildfires these past few years in California, so I guess you can expect at least one every year. People should start being more cautious with their actions or else it can start huge problems like this" claimed Antonio Orduno.
The El Dorado Fire had burnt approximately 3 millions acres of land. Firefighters tried their hardest to stop the fires and control it before it spreaded even more. Since then more than 600 firefighters have been sent to fight this fire, along with engines, aircrafts and helicopters.
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain, Leon Dunn stated, "We had to send resources to help another agency because of how big, how it spread, and the homes that are endangered. So we sent out people from our city to help out. And it affected our department, people risking their lives to go to another city and help; which we always do because of course they come to our city and help too."
Wind is a big issue when it comes to wildfires. The wind spreads the fires rapidly, and this is no help to the firefighter.
"Firefighters need to be more accountable than normal, we don't need to go by ourselves, and always have someone by you just for protection and safety, in case anything happens," Leon Dunn stated.
The fires are not only dangerous for the firefighters and people near the fires, however, as gigantic smoke arises from the mountains and ash sprinkles on cars, Californians were facing this deadly wildfire from the Northern part of California.
People were having to evaluate due to the unhealthy air quality and fires. Over 21,000 Californians have had to evacuate.
"My Grandma found it a bit difficult to breathe every morning she went to work and when she returned home," stated Antonio Orduno. "As for everyone else, the smell was just absolutely awful, ash covered all the cars, and the sun and sky looked very red/orange."
Not only do people have to leave their houses, but so has wildlife. Over 1,000 animals have been rescued so far from the deadly wildfire.
"It has been devastating to the environment, the air quality, and many neighborhoods in CA. I think it will take a long time to rebuild. Not to mention the spike in Covid-19 cases that may result from people being displaced from their homes," Professor Gerstenberger stated.
Deadly wildfires in California have caused residents to stay indoors because of all of the ashes. Starting in mid August fire season had officially started. All over the state thousands of acres of land are burning, some caused by lightning, heat, dry land, but one in particular was caused by a gender reveal party.

bursting sewer pipes
in this report , a company is using "pipe bursting" as a way to fix sewer pipes and make more room for fiber optic conduits at the same time.
Stick something down the sewer pipe that bursts the pipe and expands the hole (assuming there is more room to begin with), then run a plastic replacement pipe behind it. On the outside of the new plastic pipe, attach smaller pipes to run fiber optic cable.
i can see a new "american standard" porcelain toilet with a fiber optic port hole out the side.

So we already know that Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell are set to play The Fantastic Four in director Josh Trank's reboot. So now 20th Century Fox have turned their attention to the casting the film's villain, Dr. Victor von Doom. The Wrap today reports that the field has been narrowed to four choices: Domhnall Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2), Toby Kebbell (Wrath of the Titans), Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables) and Sam Riley (On the Road).
They add that several weeks ago Jack Huston was in the mix, though it's unclear if he still is.
Josh Trank will direct the big screen adaptation from a screenplay by Simon Kinberg.
The Fantastic Four is currently set for a release on June 19th, 2015.

Even when your warehouse operations appear to be running smoothly, change and disruption are constant battles that supply chains must fight. Black swan events, emerging technology, new regulations, and shifts in consumer demand have created an increased need for "always up-to-date" functionality. While steps can be taken to mitigate risk, when changes occur it's still up to you and your team to adjust and ensure new warehouse capabilities are implemented quickly.
If your organization previously reviewed, dismissed, or put off moving your WMS to the cloud, it's time to reevaluate. Decisions that seemed to make sense last year or even last quarter, likely look very different through today's lens. With business models drastically changing and uncertainty lingering in every corner, what if you could offload critical IT responsibility to an organization you trust to manage it all for you?

After the epidemic, the most correct way of life
In the face of life and death, many issues that were more concerned before will appear less important. An epidemic has taught us the value of life because tomorrow or the accident does not know which will come first, we can only cherish the present, live in the present, treat ourselves and others well. The most expensive thing in life is peace and safety, which is wealth that money cannot buy. On

du Plessis, Charmaine (2019, June). Using Q methodology to test perspectives and attitudes: Experiences from a study about content marketing. In Anthony Stacey (Ed.), Proceedings of the 18th European Conference on Research Methodology for Business and Management Studies (Wits Business School, Johannesburg, South Africa) (pp. 119-125). Reading, UK: Academic Conferences & Publishing International Ltd. ISBN: 978-1-912764-20-4. (Access: http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/id/eprint/36421/1/ECRM19-Proceedings-Download.pdf)
Abstract: This paper is intended to propose the use of Q methodology in more business and management studies to complement existing business methodologies and will explain the different steps of a typical Q study with examples from a study on content marketing. It will be argued that this methodology is best suited to clarify and depict the scope of different viewpoints about a topic and hence provides numerous opportunities to researchers. Q methodology was introduced more than 80 years ago by psychologist William Stephenson to study human subjectivity but presently researchers do not sufficiently adopt this methodology to study perceptions and attitudes about business and management topics. For example, this mixed method has not become a common business and management method yet despite mounting scholarly work in various disciplines over the years which could perhaps be ascribed to the complexity of this method. In addition to illustrating how Q methodology could be used to test perspectives and attitudes, it will be argued in this paper why and how Q methodology can be a valuable business and management research tool to reveal individuals' subjectivity about a topic. The adoption of Q methodology could enhance conventional research methods such as surveys, interviews and focus groups. Since Q methodology uses the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative methods to study the subjective perspectives of participants, it becomes possible to gain insight in a much richer way than with a survey or interviews because it combines a robust qualitative element with the quantitative tool. The qualitative part categorises the variety and span of subjective opinions on the topic, while the quantitative part objectively confirms and analyses similarities and differences in the subjective viewpoints of individuals by means of a Q factor analysis. It is thus an exploratory, inductive and deductive methodology suitable for small populations of participants; strengthened by the statistical operation of Q factor analysis. However, there are also several limitations to using Q methodology which are highlighted with examples.

For those of us lucky enough to listen to The Client Connection yesterday, we had the opportunity to spend some time learning from one of the best – Financial Social Media Expert Amy Mcllwain. She did a great interview, and shared with us her expertise about how to use this powerful medium to get noticed, make better connections and build relationships. As an expert in the field of financial services she was also able to guide us through the challenges that things such as compliance, regulation, and client confidentiality can have on our ability to used LinkedIn effectively.
Amy's points about how important technology has come into our world to not only attract, but also to retain clients, and how our credibility and marketability are closely tied to how well we understand how to use social networking, especially LinkedIn.
I learned a lot, took notes like crazy and plan to listen again. The only real issue I had with the interview – it was just too short. I wanted more time to gain as much knowledge and insight from Amy as I know she has to share. Sounds like a great reason to have her back on, for round two of how to use, not only LinkedIn, but all the social media platforms to better connect with our clients.
Until then, here are three ideas I gained, and three strategies I plan to implement from Financial Social Media Expert, Amy Mcllwain:
- Trade-show booth – To think of LinkedIn like a big trade-show and your profile is your booth – you are trying to attract people to your booth.
- Relevant Groups – Focus on quality not quantity, and join groups that make sense for you and your business. Ten is better than thirty, and plan to be active in the groups that you join.
- Stories – Your summary needs to be the story of "you", including you, your business, and what you can do for the client.
Three Strategies I Plan To Implement From Financial Social Media Expert, Amy McIIwain
- Keywords – I have done some work here, but I have more to do. I need to redesign my titles, summary, and experience to better reflect what I want to be found for.
- Apps/Programs – I plan to sign up – right now – for LinkedIn Connect. The new app that LinkedIn just put out. In addition, I plan to upload my photos to photofeeler.com to see how likeable my photo is and which one is best.
- Search – Once a quarter do a search for not only my name, but my competitors as well, so I am sure that what I want to be found for is getting me found.
